"Hibiscus Heights" is located in the Grafton area, on a scenic ridge 
overlooking the Caribbean Sea ... away from the crowds of the lower-
lying tourist districts.  Crown Point Airport is a 20-minute drive 
away, but the owners of this property are pleased to meet and 
personally see off their guests for nothing extra.  Car rentals can 
also easily be arranged beforehand.

This impressive top-floor Villa, offering spacious living for 6 
people, has a huge wrap-around verandah (over 125 ft.) for viewing 
the turquoise sea, and old-time wooden shutters with high ceilings 
for catching the warm breezes.

The large and airy Master bedroom has a king-sized bed, walk-in 
closet and en-suite bath.  The other 2 guest bedrooms have queen-
sized beds, high ceilings, and are also quite roomy.  All beds are 4-
poster, very romantic, with firm mattresses for many restful 
sleeps.  Silent air-conditioning units have also recently been 
installed in all the bedrooms. 

There is an open living/dining area and the kitchen is immaculate.

There are over-head fans in every room, all tastefully decorated, 
with many pieces of furniture hand-made by locals.

There is a swimming pool at the back, surrounded by a tiled 
sun terrace, to which guests of this top villa have exclusive 
access.  Set off the kitchen and equipped with a comfy patio set and 
loungers, it's perfect for al fresco dining after dark.

With its annex, a cozy and self-contained cottage (listed 
separately), "Hibiscus Heights" is an ideal setting, not to mention 
the most economical choice, for large groups who want to be close 
but still have their own space. All three units can sleep 12-15

Tobago is not a volcanic island like most of the other Caribbean 
islands.  Once a part of South America, many of the same species of 
plants and animals found on that continent abound here.  So -- 
whether 'booting it' through Tobago's majestic rainforests, 
strolling along one of the island's many sanctuary trails, or simply 
reflecting amidst the radiant colours of Scaarborough's well-groomed 
Botanic Gardens -- you'll see: beautiful beaches are only a small 
part of what this tropical isle has to offer.

Indeed, Tobago has been hailed worldwide as a premiere 'eco-tourism' 
destination.  Its exquisite reefs are home to an explosion of marine 
life (over 1,000 species identified), making the best diving and 
snorkeling experiences frequent happenings in and around Tobago's 
waters.  Since 1776, the island's MainRidge Forest Reserve has been 
legally protected, making it the first tropical rainforest to be 
legally protected in the western hemisphere.  Tobago is also one of 
the few places left in the world to which critically-endangered 
populations of Hawksbill, Green & giant Leather back sea turtles 
return every year to lay their eggs. "Hibiscus Heights" is about a 5-
minute walk away from Great Courland Bay; the long sandy beach there 
is a prime nesting site.  The Villa is also ideally situated close 
to a 200-acre Wildlife Sanctuary & Cocoa Estate bird-watching 
trails. 

Between December and February, waves are the biggest attraction in 
the area.  It is only a 10-minute walk to Mt. Irvine Beach, a 
favourite with surfers worldwide, where there are also kayaks and 
motorised sea-craft to rent.  The world renown Mt. Irvine Golf & 
Beach Resort is just up the hill.

Snorkeling in Back Bay, a small secluded bay between Mt. Irvine and 
Grafton beach, is highly recommended.  Imagine the sights, you're 
there suspended at the surface or leisurely kicking along, only 
colourful schools between you and the coral-rich world below.  

For close-ups: there's a fully-equipped PADI dive shop, on Grafton 
beach, offering instruction for newbies and refreshers for old pros 
too.

Yoga, Tai-chi & Stretch Classes, Holistic Treatments & Massages are 
all offered nearby in Crown Point, at Kariwak Village Hotel.

Horseback Riding on the beach!

TaeKwonDo, the fastest growing Martial Arts sport in the world: 
classes offered at Tobago TaeKwonDo, a school officially recognized 
by the T&T TaeKwonDo Association which is the foremost governing 
body for TaeKwonDo in Trinidad & Tobago. 

Tobago hosted its first Jazz Festival in 2005 and it was such a huge 
success, last year featuring big-name stars like Sting and P Didee, 
that it became an annual event.  And hopefully, one day, it'll 
be an institution, just like the long-standing "Sunday School" 
street-pan party held weekly in Buccoo is.  Maybe even more so 
than Carnival (admittedly a far more intense celebration in 
Trinidad, Tobago's sister isle), the Jazz Festival promises to be 
one of this island's most popular events; a place where locals and 
visitors can interact, people-watch, just join in a really big jam 
session.
