The entire villa consists of a main house on a hilltop plus three cabanas placed along the hillside. There is a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea and gardens surrounding the numerous patio areas. Welcome sign with flowering tree to Top O' Tobago.
The gardens abound with tropical fruit such as grapefruit, orange, mango, papaya, passion fruit and banana. Flowering plants such as Bouganvillea, Hibiscus, Barbados Pride and Ixoras flourish.
A ten-minute walk along a garden path leads to the beautiful Arnos Vale beach. This bay is renowned for snorkelling, but is great for swimming and sunbathing too. Other secluded beaches can be found within walking distance of the villa. More beaches are only a short drive away, some are calm and picturesque and others have crashing waves that challenge surfers and boogie boarders.
Return to the villa, take a plunge in the pool, relax with a drink or your favourite book and enjoy the sunset. The quiet serene rural environment with its gentle breezes, clean air, bright stars and twinkling fireflies seems to be rejuvenating for all our guests.
Getting There
Top O' Tobago is only a twenty minute drive from the airport and a fifteen minute drive from Scarborough, the main town. From the airport go along Milford Rd. through Bon Accord and Canaan until you reach the T - intersection at the large coconut grove on your left. Turn left on to Shirvan Rd. and follow the signs to Plymouth. You will pass Buccoo junction, the Mt. Irvine Golf course, the Black Rock community, Turtle Beach Hotel, and then turn left and cross a one-lane white steel bridge built in 1912. When you come close to Plymouth turn to the right and follow the signs for the Arnos Vale Hotel. Pass the entrance to the hotel and you will find the entrance to Top O' Tobago clearly marked at the first right.
From Scarborough, where you may arrive by ferry from Trinidad, go through the town up Wilson Rd. until you come to a large intersection with traffic lights. Go straight across the intersection and follow the road to the left and towards Plymouth. You will pass the villages of Whim, Union Village and Marabel. Turn right at the T- intersection that is marked Plymouth and cross the white steel bridge that is described above. Follow the same directions as above and you should reach Top O' Tobago with no problem. If you have any problems with directions feel free to ask anyone on the street and they should be very helpful.
Car Rental
Top O' Tobago is located about one third up the island which makes it ideal to explore beaches in Culloden, Castara, Englishman's Bay, Bloody Bay, and visit the rain forest. It is also close to beaches near Plymouth, Turtle Beach, Mt. Irvine, Grange, Store Bay and Pigeon Point. There are small grocery stores in Plymouth but larger stores on Milford Rd., Carnbee and the market in Scarborough. For the sake of convenience it is recommended that guests consider renting a car. Car and jeep rentals range from $USD 45 - 60.00 per day. The roads are narrow but in quite good condition. We do not rent cars but would be happy to recommend and organize rentals so that you can pick up your car or jeep directly at the airport on your arrival or have it brought to Top O' Tobago.
Climate
The average temperature is 83 degrees F (29 degrees C) with little seasonal variation. The wet season lasts from June to December with a few showers during the day. Try to avoid the intense 'mid-day' sun and always use a high protection factor suncream.
Dress
Casual dress is normal although some hotels and restaurants require 'elegantly casual' in the evenings. Please ensure to cover up if you are venturing into the shops from the beach.
Language
English is the official language and the local dialect has a wonderful accent and range of expression.
Power and Water
The voltage is based on the North American system of 120 volts 60 Hz and the wall plugs and sockets accept the North American sytle of receptacles. Water is precious in Tobago. The water is treated and can be drunk direct from the tap though some visitors prefer bottled water. There is a fresh water spring beside the road under a Mango tree just below Top O' Tobago with delicious spring water.
Cell Phone Compatability
TSTT holds a virtual monopoly on phone service so unfortunately cell phones from overseas may not be operational. Phone calls can be made from the villa or a cell phone is available with a phone card. There are Internet cafes available on the island where guests can access their email. Limited service is also available at the villa. |
