Trinidad & Tobago | Hotels

Petroleum at one point made Trinidad one of the richest colonies in the British Empire. Today, the twin-island nation is independent and the first in the West Indies to become a republic rather than retaining the British monarch as Head of State. The smaller laid-back island of Tobago is believed to be the place Robert Louis Stevenson had in mind when he wrote Treasure Island. From the standpoint of lush scenery and mountain tops, it is indeed a treasure island.
