Stay at Kariwak Holistic Haven

One of the best hotels in my opinion is the Kariwak Holistic Haven nestled in Crown Point, Tobago. This hotel has some of the most accommodating staff and naturalistic feel. As soon as you enter the driveway you leave your stress and worries at the door. The straw like huts and traditional cabins give you the feel that you have entered a small village. Furthermore, the staff tell you that as soon as you enter underneath the Kariwak sign, you're considered family.

The layout of the Hotel has a side dedicated to family and another for couples only. The amenities are quite amazing. There's a restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is included, however lunch and dinner is available at a cost. There's a Gazebo in which Yoga or Tai Chi is offered every morning at 8:00am all you need to walk with is comfortable clothing, everything else will be provided. A masseuse is available daily from 10:30am that offers an hour long relaxing massage. There is a pool as well as a waterfall Jacuzzi, however, please be aware that the Jacuzzi is not a hot water one as they were informed that cold water is more therapeutic than warm water. Try not to go bathing at 12am. There's a hammock area in which several hammocks are available to relax in the garden area. There is also a myriad of flora and native fauna that can be identified as you travel from the restaurant, to the pool, Jacuzzi or even the restaurant.

PS. Be careful with your sugar and bananas during breakfast as you may be visited by some birds that may relieve you of them.

The hotel is purely holistic in every way, such examples are:

• All the food provided in the restaurant is produced, organically in the hotel or at privately owned farms. 
• All the water provided in the hotel is ozonated (such as taps, showers, pools and jacuzzi)
• To be energy efficient and conservative, the hotel will not wash towels until its placed on the floor and the sprinkler system to water the foliage utilizes recycled water from the taps.

The bar and wait staff are very accommodating and you can get some of the most interesting drinks in the bar. You must have a Kariwak Rum Punch, it is guaranteed to give you a kick and make sure you're very relaxed for your trip.

If you're ever in Tobago and in need of a relaxing, village like experience, Look no further, visit Kariwak and unwind.
