Winners of the 2014 World Travel Award as Tobago’s Leading Hotel for
the sixth consecutive year, Blue Haven Hotel offers a beautiful, private,
and exotic escape on the Caribbean island. A decorated history of golden
era Hollywood glitz and glamour, the hotel was at one point considered a
relic, but has since been rejuvenated and remains a romantic hotspot and
hideaway for honeymooners and clientele the world over.
There is a little bit of everything in and around the Blue HavenHotel in To-
bago. For starters, look around. Built on a historic site, remnants of the past
add delight and charm as the old fortress – complete with cannons and a
surrounding stone wall encapsulate your senses. Secondly, it’s got star stud-
ded appeal embedded into its unique character. Featured in many movies
from the 1950s such as Fire Down Below, Heaven Knows Mr. Allison, and
the Disney production of the Swiss Family Robinson, the Blue Haven Ho-
tel is a nostalgic destination. But for all the bygone discourse and narrative,
the Hotel also endured a spell of silence before owner Karl Pistil brought it
back to life.
