Situated along a well-traveled beach road in western Tobago, Grafton Beach Resort overlooks Stonehaven Bay -- a popular spot for nesting leatherback turtles each spring. On paper, it ticks many of the essential boxes for a two-and-a-half pearl waterfront getaway, including a lively beach bar, open-air restaurant, and a clean pool with swim-up bar. But an aging decor, mediocre food, and an often crowded public beach leave a lot to be desired. Each of the 78 rooms are spacious and dated, with mini-fridges, air-conditioning, and private balconies or terraces, some with ocean views. Travelers willing to part with a little more cash will be happier at Blue Haven Hotel, and intimate spot with ocean views and handsome rooms that's about 20 minutes away.

As a sister property to Grafton Beach Resort, Le Grand Courlan Spa Resort is located on the same resort-heavy beach road along Tobago’s northwestern coast. The 80-room hotel offers excellent views of Stonehaven Bay -- a popular nesting spot for leatherback turtles. A large spa, nearby beach, and spacious, ocean-view pool terrace are nice to have, but the hotel's aging decor and abandoned vibe is underwhelming. Rooms offer a decent list of features, including flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and private balconies or terraces, some with ocean views. With Fort Bennett as the only attraction in the immediate area, travelers looking to explore will need to a rental car. For a larger, resort-like alternative, check rates at Turtle Beach by Rex Resorts, just three minutes away.

While it lacks convenient beach access, the four-pearl The Villas at Stonehaven offers a small, but stunning infinity pool and a poolside restaurant. The 14 stand-alone villas are among the most upscale and feature-rich accommodations in Tobago. They include full gourmet kitchens, personal housekeepers, and private pool terraces with stunning views. The gated hilltop property feels worlds away from the tourist hustle of downtown Crown Point, and, it’s 20 minutes by car from the town’s dining, shopping, and nightlife scene. Some guests may find the lack of entertainment or activities underwhelming, and dining here doesn't earn the best marks. For travelers looking for a luxurious resort alternative, check rates at the nearby The Magdalena Grand Beach Resort.
