Trinidad and Tobago are off the beaten path, which means fewer hotels and resorts are located here. But that doesn't mean you can't find a wide range of lodging options. Depending on the type of vacation you prefer, quaint, comfortable inns or lavish five-star accommodations, and everything in between, are available on these unique islands.

Tobago is the quieter and less populated of the two islands and is home to more exclusive, and more expensive, hotels and resorts. Some of these luxury accommodations are within stunning view of the island's tropical rainforests. But stylish and sophisticated lodgings don't have to mean gigantic megaresorts. Travelers who want all the extras and lavish amenities without the crowds will be pleased to learn that there are still Caribbean destinations where the population is low, but the pampering is abundant. Some of these up-market accommodations include spa service, gourmet restaurants and many more deluxe amenities available in one site. Vacationers should expect to pay as much as $300(USD) or more per night to stay in one of Tobago's exclusive resorts.

You also can find luxury lodging on Trinidad, but travelers on a budget will find more moderately priced accommodations here. Just because you're paying less for your hotel doesn't mean you must forgo the little extras. Many moderately priced hotels and inns on both Trinidad and Tobago offer their guests pools, up-to-date décor, and fine food. These smaller hotels and resorts may not have all the luxury as some of the more expensive rooms on the islands, but travelers will find that these accommodations can meet their budget as well as their lodging expectations. Travelers who want to pay as little as possible for their room can find hotels that cost as low as $20(USD) to $50(USD) per night. But vacationers should be aware that some budget rooms may not come with amenities and may not have air conditioning. Guests who want to pay a little more for their hotel but don't want to break their vacation budget can find rooms on both islands ranging from $50(USD) to $300(USD).

Whatever style or size of hotel you choose, the bill will include a 15 percent government tax as well as a 10 percent service charge. Because of the limited amount of accommodations on Trinidad and Tobago, travelers visiting the islands during the week of carnival should secure their hotel or resort reservations months in advance to ensure availability. No matter what kind of lodgings you're looking for while on your island getaway, Trinidad and Tobago both feature a variety of lodgings that appeal to many tastes and budgets.
