Chilled all-inclusive Tobago beach holiday, Grafton Beach Resort, Caribbean - save 45% - from £699pp for 7 nightsFlights included · via Secret Escapes |
|
For those easily smitten by idyllic beaches, characterful fishing villages, superb diving and snorkelling waters, and lured by the tropical rhythms of calypso, the sun-soaked island of Tobago is hard to beat. So it’s easy to see the appeal of this three-star resort overlooking Stonehaven Bay - especially for those happy to be within rolling-out- of-bed distance from the sparkling sands. A classic Caribbean decor theme prevails in the guest rooms, all of which feature bright colours, earth-toned tiles, mosaic artworks, stained teakwood detailing, and glass doors leading out to private balconies or terraces. Elsewhere you’ll find a freshwater pool with swim up bar, air-conditioned squash courts, a fabulous spa and gym located at the sister property right next door, and a schedule of daytime activities. There are also three unique dining spots for Caribbean cuisine, including a relaxed beachside bar serving all-day snacks and a rather splendid choice of artfully mixed cocktails. |
