On the tiny Caribbean island destination called Tobago there is a little legend - the charming small hotel and restaurant known simply as the Kariwak.

For visitors to the island and the people who live here (called Tobagonians) the Kariwak hotel, its restaurant and staff are as legendary as Robinson Crusoe himself.
In the realm of small hotels of the Caribbean, the Kariwak has carved a distinctive niche with its award winning 2 acre garden bursting with tropical shrubs, foliage and flowering trees filled with bird song, dominated by the thatched roof ajoupa and its teak floor ... the venue for TaiChi, yoga, gentle stretching exercises, Buddhist meditation sessions and similar holistic activities.

The Kariwak kitchen is supplied with abundant fresh herbs from the garden, those same herbs are lovingly transformed into delicious Caribbean meals which are served with a friendly smile in the open air restaurant .....

Small wonder that the most famous legend in Tobago today is not Robinson Crusoe, but the Kariwak story created by Allan Clovis.
