Millions of people have watched the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and wished that they could be part of those thrilling adventures.
While the days of pirates and buried treasure are long since gone, you can still visit the Caribbean and get the feel of the world of Jack Sparrow. The Caribbean islands and Tobago in particular, still have the atmosphere of the old pirate days. Tobago is a modern island in many ways and the Tobago tourism industry is geared to offer you all the modern facilities you could ask for. But the island is still the same one that the pirates used to visit. Spending time here will allow you to get a feel of what the pirates felt and see the same ocean that they saw. Or you could walk on the famous Tobago beaches, and follow in the footsteps of those who carried the skull and crossbones.

The Caribbean islands have long been a preferred vacation destination. But with the boom in the tourist trade, many of them have become over commercialized and have lost their natural charm – everything seems to be artificially created to lure the tourist. Luckily, this malaise does not extend to the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. These islands, which form their own republic, are blessed with natural resources that mean they are not completely dependant on tourism for their survival. This has allowed them to control the growth of tourism and ensure that the natural charm and beauty of the islands has not been lost. At the same time tourism is an important industry and tourists are made welcome.
Experience the real Caribbean
Of the two islands, Tobago has more to offer the vacationer. It is only 5 hours from New York and flights to Tobago are plentiful and cheap. Visitors who come to Tobago and miss out on the “real” Caribbean experience by isolating themselves in the kind of hotels that are to be found everywhere on the planet are missing out on the best part of the vacation. That does not mean that they need to stay in a thatched roof shack on the beach. Those who stay at Half Moon Blue, a luxury resort on Tobago, are sure of getting the real feel of the island while enjoying all the comforts of a top class resort hotel. This exotic hotel, set near scenic Bacolet Bay, offers everything a modern traveler could want along with the feel of being in the Caribbean and not living in a faceless hotel in a faceless part of the world.

When going on a vacation to the exotic Caribbean, this is the kind of choice one may have to make. In some cases it is a literal choice between the two options and in others it is more symbolic. The thing is that the Caribbean has become very much of a tourist centric region, where the traditional allures of the islands are being lost to modern “amenities”. The only exception to this is the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and in particular the island of Tobago. These islands have rich natural resources and while tourism is an important provider of jobs, the economy is not solely dependant on tourism. This means the people of Trinidad and Tobago are able to retain the natural charm of their islands while at the same time ensuring that the Tobago tourism industry is professionally run and caters to the demands of the modern holiday maker.
Stay in paradise
One Tobago hotel that offers the best of both worlds is Half Moon Blue. Set in a garden of bamboo and bougainvillea and located at the base of a hill topped by Historic for George, it exudes the allure the charm of the Caribbean. The large fully equipped rooms with four verandahs and rattan furniture could only be in the Caribbean. A beautiful open air restaurant serves both the best of island fare and international cuisine. Being on the shores of beautiful Bacolet Bay means that there are pristine beaches just a few minutes walk from the rooms. And oh yes, there is an overflow swimming pool too!

If you’re wondering what Half Moon Blue is – it is a Tobago resort hotel that gives you the real experience of a Tobago vacation.
Small enough to offer a personalized stay experience, unlike the large resort hotels on the island, it does not in any way cut back on the comforts and facilities that are essential to an enjoyable vacation. You have the choice of extra spacious suites or a penthouse loft that overlooks half moon shaped Bacolet Bay and an overflow swimming pool that is so alluring, it challenges the draw of the spectacular Tobago beaches. The décor of the rooms, with their colonial décor and which open onto verandahs with rattan chaise lounges can tempt you just to stay in the rooms and relax.
That is not to say that you should spend all your time there. Tobago has so much to offer – from scuba diving to snorkeling, tennis and golf, to simply relaxing on the beach with a cold drink and a book. Or you could spend time exploring the many scenic beauties of the island. What makes Tobago holidays so ideal is that there is something for everyone to enjoy, so it’s perfect for a family or group where everyone has a different idea of fun. And irrespective of the activities people indulge in, one thing that everyone needs is great food, and Tobago food is famous for its flavors and variety. Once again, Half Moon Blue scores in this regard. Its restaurant, Café Havana offers authentic Caribbean food and has a well stocked bar to refresh the vacationers before they sit down to a sumptuous feast.
