Arnos Vale Hotel, Arnos Vale

This hotel is a Tobago classic. It has history, character, a stunning location, superb snorkelling and diving, a superb and secluded beach, and incredible wildlife displays. Afternoon tea will never be the same again.

Facilities

The hotel has a lovely pool and bar with a quiet beach and a bay that has some of the best snorkelling on the island. Just dip your face in the sea and wonder at the sights of angel and parrot fish, orange tube sponges and pink corals.


Many activities can be arranged, including golf, kayaking, birdwatching, and even island plane tours.

Other Information

This hotel has charming hillside cottages available that are part of the complex and facilities. Princess Margaret honeymooned here in the 1960's, and The Beatles have been guests here.


In a stunning setting, tucked away amongst ancient tropical rainforest and sits above the edge of a Caribbean bay with indigo and turquoise waters teeming with sea life.


Arnos Vale is synonymous with bird watching, and from any point in the hotel you can view some of Tobago's 210 species in close up. The hotel is Italian in style, with a stunning dining room.


As you check in at reception, you can't fail to notice the seemingly tame birds that fly around the hotel and eat from the many calabash feeders hung out by staff. At 4pm each day it's feeding time. And what a spectacle it is. Bright blue grey Tanagers, tiny hummingbirds and green and red Mot Mots provide a stunning display.


Arnos Vale provides a haven to nurture the local wildlife. All you have to do is sit back and relax and enjoy God's entertainment. The hotel has a lovely pool and bar with a quiet beach and a bay that is fabulous for snorkelling. Arnos Vale can organise weddings and honeymoons.
