Half Moon Blue Wins trivago Award

trivago (yes, there is no capital “T”)  is a large international travel community which shares first hand travel experiences (reviews) about hotels, destinations, attractions. Being a community of travelers, they look at hotels from a guests’ point of view and take into account the staying experience, the food and the facilities available. Most other reviews and rating organizations take into account other factors which are of no relevance or interest to the guest. That means a trivago rating is based on the things that are important to you. So when a hotel gets a trivago award that means that it is for reasons that you will understand and appreciate. And Half Moon Blue has just won an award that places it among the top 3 “Best hotels for Business People in Trinidad and Tobago”.

Business In Tobago

Tobago has long been known as a vacation paradise.

Or if you feel more energetic, the pristine beach at Bacolet Bay is a short stroll away. Café Havana, one of the best restaurants in Tobago, is the perfect place to entertain business associates over a tall drink and a gourmet meal. For anyone on a business trip, this resort hotel is the ideal place to stay, get your work done and also get a feel of what this tropical island has to offer.

The Trinidad And Tobago Carnival – An Ideal Easter Break

The Trinidad and Tobago carnival is held each year on the 2 days preceding Ash Wednesday. This year that will be on Monday the 15^th and Tuesday the 16^th of February. With short flying times from the east coast and cheap tickets to Trinidad and Tobago from Tobago Airlines and other carriers you won’t waste either time or money getting there. The carnival is the ultimate street party with thousands of dancers in scanty, sequined costumes taking over the roads along with DJ trucks playing music to keep the dan, the party goes on non stop for 2 days. In a region that is known for rum and reggae, you can be sure of the party of a lifetime. Unlike other regions also famous for their carnivals, the compact size of the islands means that finding your way around and being able to participate in the various fun activities is easy. A vast amount of information on the happenings, the costumes and how to have fun is available online.

Make the most of the Carnival

Trinidad and Tobago is made up of two islands, which are so close that you can see one from the other, which means that moving between them is never a problem. But for those who want to get the real Caribbean carnival experience and make the most of their trip, Tobago is the place to make a base. The reasons for this are many, but the main one is that this is where Half Moon Blue is located. The intriguingly named Half Moon Blue is a small luxury hotel that offers suites with colonial décor, modern comforts and great food and drink. Situated a short drive from Tobago Airport and set in a secluded location on the shores of Bacolet Bay, it is just minutes away from the city and all the excitement of the carnival. It’s the ideal place to be close to the action and yet be able to get away for a quiet rest when you need it.

The Holiday Season Is Not Over

The New Year has begun and the memories of the holidays are fading. The post holiday blues are an annual ritual that everyone goes through. But if you are looking for a way to cheer yourself up and keep the holidays feeling alive, why not check out the Trinidad and Tobago carnival? This is one of the most vibrant carnivals in the western hemisphere and with the island of Tobago being located just a few hours flying time off the eastern seaboard, it is one of the most accessible festive occasions in this part of the world. And with Tobago Airlines and other carriers offering very reasonable tickets, and a range of all inclusive Tobago vacation options to choose from, a trip to the Caribbean to join in the festivities will not burn a hole in your pocket. This year the carnival will be held in mid February.

The true Caribbean

The islands of Trinidad and Tobago are adjacent to each other and travel between them is easy. But for those who want to get the true Caribbean experience – one that will enhance the fun of the carnival – the best place to say is at the Half Moon Blue hotel on Tobago. This small resort hotel is set amidst lush tropical garden and is at the base of a hill topped by historic Fort George. Located on the shores of beautiful Bacolet Bay, Half Moon Blue embodies the atmosphere of the Caribbean and staying there will make you feel that you are part of the festivities. But that does not mean that this luxury hotel does not provide all the privacy and comforts the modern travel demands. And of course great food at it’s highly reputed restaurant – Café Havana.

Dancing In The Streets

Is that something you have always wanted to do?  Kick off your shoes (literally if you want) and let your hair down and party all day and all night?

The Trinidad and Tobago carnival is just a short flight from the mainland and cheap flights to Trinidad and Tobago mean that getting there will not break the bank. And once you are there, you have a 48 hour non stop party waiting for you with all the dancing, music, drinks and food you could ask for, all combined with a great carnival atmosphere. After all, this is the home of rum and reggae. The carnival this year will be held on the 15^th and 16^th of February which means it can make for an ideal Easter break.

Great fun, great experience

The fun is spread over the two islands of Trinidad and Tobago which are so close to each other that traveling between them is not a problem. But those looking to maximize their Caribbean carnival experience will be best served by basing themselves in Tobago and staying at Half Moon Blue. There are many hotels in Tobago, of all types.

Carnival In Tobago – It Has Something For Everyone

Have you always wanted to experience a real exotic carnival but were put off by the cost and long distances involved? If so, that means you have over looked the Trinidad and Tobago carnival. The carnival is an annual event held on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday which means that this year it is being held on February 15^th and 16^th. And that means that now is the time to make your travel plans. The carnival was started by the French in the late 18^th century and taken over by the emancipated slaves in the late 1830s. It combines the flair of the French with the vibrancy of the ethnic African / Asian roots of the local population. The street party goes on non stop for the two days and is a mixture of dancing, sequined costumes, reggae and rum. You can buy tickets for an all inclusive experience that includes costumes, concerts by the leading bands, unlimited access to mobile bars that accompany the parades and even air conditioned buses for the weary to take a break in.

Make the most of the carnival experience

While the action is divided between the two adjacent islands of Trinidad and Tobago, those looking to make the most of the carnival experience should book their stay at Half Moon Blue on Tobago. This is a small luxury hotel that offers all the resort amenities the holiday maker could want and combines this with an authentic Caribbean décor to give you the real feel of the islands. Located just a short drive from the festivities, it is situated on the shores of quiet Bacolet Bay so taking a break from the carnival to relax on the beach or grab a nap in the comfortable rooms is never a problem.

Tobago Is For Families

Many people think that the Caribbean is a place for the young and unattached to holiday. 

The image of exotic cocktails, shimmering beaches and a hectic nightlife often create the impression that a Tobago vacation is one for only the young and restless. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, there is the exuberant carnival in Tobago but there is much more to the island and it is a great place for families to spend their holidays. If you are a water sports fan and want to introduce your family to the wonders of a diving holiday, Tobago is for you. Diving equipment is available for rent and diving lessons are easily found. Think of the fun of taking your family wreck diving and exploring the old shipwrecks that litter the ocean floor. If water sports are not for you, there are plenty of other options, including exploring the rain forest, tennis and golf or just getting to know the friendly islanders. And of course, there is great eating. 

To make the most of the island experience, it is best to stay at a hotel in Tobago that adds to the feel of being on a tropical vacation.
