hi, Tobago is very nice, very un spoilt...lots of good beaches, great for snorkeling and diving.We've been there several times in the past 10 years or so. We loved the Hilton when it was there.

The last time we were there we stayed at Turtle beach Resort, we got great rates thru British Airways website.

We were there in July and almost every night there were 2 or 3 turtles laying eggs on the beach. There is not much night life on the island!

Just be street smart... don't be intimidated by the locals they tend to leave you alone. As you said you would only be in Transit at the airport in Trinidad so there’s nothing to worry about.

You will find more Europeans in Tobago than Americans.

PM is you need more info

Here is a good site with lots of information
