A Caribbean Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving is traditionally a festival to be spent with family and friends.  

But that does not mean that it must be spent at the same place each year. What about Thanksgiving in a new place, one which is exotic and will add a whole new level of enjoyment to the holiday? Have you ever considered a Trinidad and Tobago Thanksgiving? Tobago is a completely different experience from the traditional thanksgiving. 

Exotic locales 

Tobago Island offers the real feel of Caribbean, from the exotic locales to the great food and tropical cocktails and tons of activities to keep you and your family busy having fun. It is not that far away and flights to Trinidad and Tobago airport are frequent and inexpensive. There are a range of hotels to choose from, to suit all budgets and tastes. But for the real island experience there is nothing to match up to Half Moon Blue, a Tobago hotel with resort amenities and an ideal location on the shores of beautiful Bacolet Bay which offers visitors the option of a range of water sports or a chance to just lie back on the beach and unwind. 

It’s not too late to look at planning a Thanksgiving holiday with a difference. Why not contact your family and close friends right now and start planning? Tobago tourism is very well developed and you will be able to finalize all your arrangements online so that you can be sure of having the holiday of a lifetime.

The Craft of a Perfect Holiday

As the attractions of Tobago carry you away into a haven of delight make sure you take a day trip to enjoy the island’s water on a boat that has been surveyed and inspected by the local government. The licensed boats are not only insured but also have a Motor Launch registration license on board. These boats ensure safety standards and have a competent crew. When a boat is inspected by the government, it will have a registration number that displays a ‘TL’ plus a three-digit number. Check the identification of the registration and the tour operator and in case they do not possess the necessary documents, then find another sailing tour operator. Avoid vessels that bear lettering such as, ‘TFT’ or ‘TFG’ with the registration number followed by a four digit number. Start your search again for another operator because this will be just a fishing vessel and not a licensed tour operator.

As you enjoy your vacation trip in the wonderland of Tobago, stop off to rest and enjoy good accommodation at Half Moon Blue Resorts, the French colonial resort at the Donkey Cart House, Bacolet Bay, Tobago. Give your holiday the perfect finish with a fairy tale ending at Half Moon Blue where the art of Creole cuisine is crafted by true blue Caribbean hospitality.

Great Food = Great Holidays

People often overlook the important role food plays in a holiday experience. 

That does not mean that all you do on your vacation is eat, although that may sound like a good idea. But all the luxury, entertainment, activities and exotic locations come to nothing if you can’t eat properly or don’t enjoy the food available. That is why Trinidad and Tobago food adds so much to the Caribbean vacation experience. 

The islands have a population with African, Indian, Chinese and European ethnicity. And all of them contribute to the unique culture of Trinidad and Tobago. Nowhere is this truer than in the Tobago food you will experience on your Tobago vacation. The local food has something for every taste, from the most conservative to the most adventurous. Just the names of the delicacies available will make one’s mouth water – Cariarones de avocado y platano,  Asian Taquitos de atun tartar can wontons, Pan Tomcat; 3 Salsas. 

A taste of heaven 

Half Moon Blue, one of the best resort hotels on the island houses Café Havana, a restaurant that offers an eclectic range of Asian-Cuban cuisine in a setting made up of three levels of Great Heart Wood floors, all of which offer panoramic ocean views. This is the place to truly enjoy the soul food of Tobago. And, of course, the great rum based cocktails the region is famous for. This resort hotel offers rooms and suites with every convenience and amenity so that your enjoyment is not limited to the food alone.

What Makes Tobago Such An Idyllic Vacation Destination?

Ask anyone who has been to Trinidad and Tobago and you will get a plethora of answers as to why a Tobago vacation is a unique experience. 

Some people will talk of the wonderful Tobago carnival; others will rave about the great food, while others will talk of the great Tobago scuba diving opportunities, the swimming, golf and tennis. Still others will tell you about the magic feel of the island and the charm of just exploring this tropical paradise. And of course, no mention of a Tobago holiday will be complete without some raving about the wonderful beaches. 

But one thing everyone will agree on is that where you stay on your vacation plays a huge role in how much you enjoy it.  

While there are many good hotels, including properties of large international chains, on the island, to stay at one of these is to miss out on the real Tobago experience. Staying at a hotel that you can find anywhere in the world and living in a hotel room that could as well be in Timbuktu as in Tobago, will not add to your vacation fun. To really experience Tobago and get the most out of your vacation, you should stay at Half Moon Blue. This is a small luxury resort situated on the shores of beautiful Bacolet Bay. It provides all the comforts, conveniences and security that anyone could ask for, along with a restaurant that serves genuine Tobago food and drink as well as international cuisine. But this small hotel, with is spacious suites and penthouse, does not cut itself off from the Caribbean vacation experience and the exotic atmosphere of the islands fills the hotel. When you stay at Half Moon Blue you know you are having a true Caribbean holiday.
