Blue Haven has a single main
restaurant, “Shutters on the Bay”. Located in a restored
colonial-style villa, the restaurant is open to non-residents, but
is located slightly away from the main buildings to allow the guests
to retain their privacy.
The
culinary theme of Shutters on the Bay is an international cuisine
and West Indian fusion. Tobagonian cuisine is invariably much more
interesting than that of most Caribbean islands. Trinidad’s ethnic
mix has produced a wonderful mixture of cooking styles and flavors
and this has inevitably been adopted in Tobago. Blue Haven seems to
have captured the best elements in a blend and format that should
appeal to visitors not necessarily used to the normally highly
spiced foods of the region. |

Breakfast is served
buffet-style, as customary. Needless to say, there is great emphasis
on the abundant tasty local fruit and this provides a wonderful
supplement to the fried breakfast so enjoyed by the less
health-conscious (or, as I prefer to think, by those of us who
believe that anything and everything can be enjoyed in moderation).
Bar
The hotel’s
“No Problem” bar is located on Bacolet Beach. The wooden building
blends wonderfully into the coconut palms bordering the beach and
enhances, rather than diminishes, the rustic nature of the beautiful
setting.
The Blue Haven Hotel
has a single lounge and terrace bar, located off the main lobby. It
has a very traditional feel and is attractively furnished with
rattan furniture. The terrace provides wonderful views over the bay,
sea and grounds. The lounge bar serves light snacks and afternoon
tea and is open throughout the day. |
