In serene Tobago the new properties being built include Indigo Bay, a 79 suite, four-star hotel located in the picturesque village of Lambeau and another 66-unit property, both due to open within the next 18 months.
On the bustling sister island of Trinidad, the Financial Complex Suites Limited, a new hotel under construction in the heart of downtown Port of Spain, is expected to be completed in December of 2014. The 79 room hotel includes two presidential suites, a spa, gym, meeting and conference facilities, concierge services and a restaurant.
