The 31 best areas to stay in Trinidad

Hotel is modern and on the water. The rooms are clean and also modern. Unfortunately me and one of my other crew members got woken up by house keeping at 6:20am after a late night arrival by the evening before, even though we had do not disturb hung on our doors. I engaged with management and they just said sorry and didn't seem to care. Would not recommend this hotel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout my visit. Its waterfront location offers a relaxing setting with beautiful views. The food was very good, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it easy to unwind. Overall, this hotel provides a wonderful balance of comfort, service, and atmosphere, and I look forward to returning.

I recently stayed at the Hyatt for 5 days with some friends and we can’t say enough good things about this hotel. This was some of the best service I have ever experienced in all of my travels. The front desk, restaurant, doormen, cleaning and support staff were all professional, courteous and amazing. The hotel was very clean and housekeeping did a wonderful job with keeping our room clean daily. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking to visit Trinidad. The food was amazing, I can’t get over the breakfast buffet. There was an array of authentic Trinidadian cuisine. The dinner was so darn good and yes, the soursop ice cream, 10/10. I can’t wait to visit again.

Welcome to paradise!! My stay at Park Hyatt was exceptional. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and has top tier customer service. There is a wide range of cuisines to choose from. Be sure to ask for a room facing the ocean. Lovely view. When I come back to Trinidad I will staying here for sure!!

Windows foggy blocked all view. Ordered a room with ocean view. When I checked out asked for an invoice to be emailed and had to waste 1 hour with their customer service trying to get this rather simple document. They dropped chat, could fix things by phone call. Just really bad experience. I’d expect a 2 star hotel being this bad. Not Hyatt. Stay clear of this specific hotel if you can.

I have not got a bad thing to say about the Hyatt Trinidad - mostly because of the amazing staff at the hotel. Every single person we have encountered has been so warm to our family, genuinely interested in our happiness and helpful in every possible way. We have our baby with us and everyone has been so kind to us, which has put us totally at ease, particularly after a long journey. Thank you to everyone.

I had the pleasure of spending 12 wonderful nights at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad and I must say—this hotel exceeded my expectations! 😍🏨 From the moment I arrived, the modern décor and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a comfortable stay. I stayed in a King Size room—absolutely lovely! 🛏️✨ The room was spotlessly clean and tidy every single day 🧼🧹—a big thumbs up to the housekeeping team! 👍👏 Breakfast was included with my booking and it was a real treat each morning 🥐🍳🍉—plenty of variety and always served with a warm smile 😊. If you're in Port of Spain for business, this location is top-notch 📍💼. Everything I needed was within reach, and I felt well taken care of throughout my stay. All in all, I highly recommend the Hyatt Regency Trinidad for both business and leisure travelers. Great service, great location, great experience! 💯💼🌆🍽️ Will definitely be back! 👏🇹🇹🏝️ #GoogleLocalGuide #HyattExperience #TrinidadStay

This was the most comfortable and satisfyingly, great place to stay. Food, rooms, location, hospitality was very good. Peaceful, tranquil and absolutely beautiful. Some upgrade work needed on environment and there could be more variety in meal options but it was overall really good. Thank you BWI!

My experience was 10/10 🌟. The scenery felt like living in a postcard . The pool - amazing . Drinks 10/10 . Chef - 🤩 sooooo gifted . Food was excellent . Rooms - so clean and smelt good . Overall fantastic experience - truly relaxing space - I will be back again

Excellent beach-side rooms, wonderful to be steps away from the beach, with opportunity to snorkel on coral reef and see many fish. Small kitchen so sometimes you have to be patient but the food is excellent. Lovely to be lulled to sleep by the sound of waves on the beach....

Blue Waters Inn is more than just a hotel—it’s an experience like no other. With waves crashing against the shore and a mesmerizing blend of blue-green waters stretching into the horizon, this place feels like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. But beyond the stunning scenery, what truly sets Blue Waters Inn apart is its exceptional service. The warmth and dedication of the staff, especially Ms. Hacket, make you feel not just welcomed but cherished. Her passion for both the hotel and its guests transforms a simple stay into an unforgettable escape. Thank you, Ms. Hacket, and thank you, Blue Waters Inn, for being a true gem in the Caribbean. If you’re looking for tranquility, beauty, and service that comes from the heart, this is where you need to be.

This is probably one of the worst vacation experiences that I’ve never had in terms of stay. When we arrived, we had already prepaid and booked for a two bedroom. We were told that we would likely need to pay for the extra people because there were nine people staying in the two bedrooms for adults and five children. We sorted that out with no issues no problems. We left enjoyed ourselves on a boat and then came back We were told that on top of pain for the extra people we also needed to add another another room which would cost about $400 for the stay. There was no concessions, no explanations everything was this is what it is however to find out the policy that they were holding this entire time was actually inaccurate once the manager came to speak to us on checkout I was given a receipt which show that I paid less than what I paid for through the third-party when I asked where the money went, she said this is all collected from you and you would still need to pay an additional $45. Jeanette was probably one of the worst employees that I dealt and there was no budging no nothing and the general manager was not even much better. I would suggest that you stay somewhere in Scarborough if you are interested in staying in into Seaside is very far, but Very far it’s also lacking in customer service. If I could give it negative stars, I would simply for the service that was given.

We stopped to have lunch and it was perfect. We had the greek salad and catch of the day with curried mahi mahi. Fresh and lovely service. Laid back, irie vibes. Gorgeous bay.

Top class food and beverage plus a very good getaway spot in the east side of Tobago.

Avoid this course – poor service, unwelcoming staff, and mismanagement We recently played a round at Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort Golf Course in Tobago and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We arrived promptly for our 7:00 AM tee time, only to find the clubhouse closed. The security guard told us management was late. When the manager, Tamara Philip, finally arrived around 7:20 AM, her first comment was not an apology, but a complaint about how our drop-off vehicle was positioned. Not exactly a warm welcome. It took another 15 minutes before the pro shop was opened, only for her to tell us that we didn’t have a tee time booked—despite giving her the name of the staff member who took the reservation. Instead of resolving the issue, she was dismissive and offered no apology or solution. Then came a warning: if it started raining, there would be no rain check. Fine—but the issues continued. We were told we needed a driver’s permit to rent a golf cart—a requirement that was never communicated when we booked. We eventually showed a photo of a permit, which seemed to suffice, but then we were told that if we were caught with the cart on the course, they would take the keys away. The whole interaction felt confrontational and hostile. Not once did we receive an apology. In fact, it felt like we were unwelcome from the moment we arrived. This course is government-run, and sadly, it shows. The staff clearly does not care about hospitality or customer experience—and the treatment we received made it hard not to feel that foreigners aren’t particularly welcome. If you still decide to play here, be prepared for poor service, arbitrary rules, and possibly being treated like an inconvenience. And if you must, try speaking to the “dinosaur” Tamara—though don’t expect much help. Extremely disappointed. Would not recommend.

The Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort, once regarded as Tobago’s premier hotel, has unfortunately lost much of its former glory. While the location within the scenic Tobago Plantations Estate—particularly its proximity to the island’s top-tier golf course—remains a strong point, the overall condition of the hotel is in serious decline. The rooms are extremely dated, with unreliable plumbing and inconsistent air conditioning. In an attempt to mask the musty odor, strong air fresheners are used, which only highlight the underlying issues. The outdoor jacuzzi is in a terrible state and clearly neglected. Additionally, the overwhelming seaweed buildup along the beach, accompanied by a pungent odor, significantly detracts from the beachfront experience. Service at the hotel is a mixed bag. While a few staff members were warm, professional, and welcoming, others appeared indifferent and disengaged, suggesting a lack of proper training or oversight. The resort, once a flagship destination, is now in dire need of a comprehensive renovation and more effective management. It’s disheartening to see a property with such potential continue to decline. Without meaningful investment and attention to guest experience, the Magdalena risks fading further from its once-respected status.

This wonderful place is full of amazing views of the water line aswell as the golf course, not to mention the aesthetic addition of two cats. If I had to say what the best part of this hotel is, it would have to be the absolutely transcending experience i received after eating the butter present at this wonderful establishment.

If this review were based solely on the service staff and their efforts given a bad situation, this would be a 5 star review. Special mention to Lisa for graciously agreeing to print a few speeches for a wedding we were attending, she was very helpful. Now with respect to our 4 night stay starting 24-Sep-2025, 2 of the 4 nights we had no water in the room. The first night without water we were unable to shower, use the bathroom, etc until the following morning, after a day of sweating in the tremendous Tobago heat. The last night of our stay we came back from a wedding and again no water, could not shower, use bathroom, etc, the water did not come back the following morning either so we checked out. We asked on both occasions to be moved to a room with water and were told there were none. We also had to keep calling for updates on the water situation. Additionally the only source of lighting in the room was from the 2 bedside lamps, one of which was not working and was never repaired during the stay, so we had to deal with very poor lighting. There was a quality breakfast buffet offered with our package, and we did enjoy it, except for one of the mornings when they ran out of food and guests were upset - they seemed short staffed. Upon checking-out I reported all the issues to a lovely reception attendant Krystal, and asked what could be done given all the issues with our stay, to which she replied that no management was present and that she would pass the information to them that afternoon and they would call. Never got any calls and tried calling the hotel a few times but the calls would not go through.

The Location is beautiful but my experience was terrible. Recently spent a Four day vacation here and the service was simply horrible. The cost was way higher than other resorts with much better service and meals provided. The breakfast was simply basic with the same options each morning - The only variation being the vegetable of the day. The water heater was down and despite making several request for assistance they insisted that they had problems with that throughout the hotel while another set of staff stated that it was just the wing we were on had that problem. My kids had the worse time bathing as they used the bathtub and not only was it very cold it was rusty and brown water which they scorned very much. They offered a 500 dollar refund for the inconvenience, however they insisted it needed to be redeemed at a restaurant. When we went to the restaurant they said they will not be able to make the exception to have the food taken away from the Buffet despite explaining that we could not dine in due to the flight time. I did have a better experience here 8 Years ago but it seems as though the guests are now an afterthought and not a priority. We also requested a crib when we first checked in and waited several hours for it until we had to call and ask again. The pool towels ran out when we went to collect so we got the last two and they promised to bring the other two requested to our room. That never happened. We had to have the light bulb changed and the sliding door to the balcony worked on during our stay just to make it somewhat comfortable. Highly recommend Hospitality training for the staff and also better maintenance of the property. Additionally in my experience of staying in many hotels; if there is an issue with the room when guest first arrive and a complaint is made, management usually makes all the necessary attempts to have the room inspected and have the room changed to one which is better maintained. However the approach here was that management will be informed and no follow through was done.. Please do better.... People choose your report out of many other options therefore your team should also Choose to prioritize their comfort and enjoyment of the stay.

Excellent hotel. Older infrastructure but well maintained. The rooms have been updated and are quite quaint and relatively modern. Each with a view of the ocean. Food is great and staff are friendly. Easy to relax.

I had high hopes for the Magdalena Grand Beach Resort, drawn in by glossy online photos and its reputation as a once-prestigious destination. However, my experience was nothing short of disappointing, and it’s clear this resort has seen better days. When it was a privately owned resort, it was reportedly at its peak—vibrant, luxurious, and well-maintained. Unfortunately, since being taken over by the government, it has deteriorated into a shadow of its former self. The moment you step onto the property, you’re hit with an overpowering stench of sewage that makes it nearly impossible to breathe. This smell, caused by piles of decaying seaweed covering the entire beach, is not just unpleasant but a legitimate health concern, especially for pregnant women due to the toxic gases released. The beach itself is an eyesore, littered with plastic waste and pollution, making it completely unusable for relaxation or recreation. The resort’s physical state is equally dismal. The paint on the walls is flaking off everywhere, exposing cracked and crumbling foundations. The rooms are in disrepair, with stained yellow toilet seats and a general sense of neglect. The restaurants and bars are a letdown—most menu items and even basic cocktails are unavailable due to a lack of ingredients, which is shocking for a place charging premium prices. It’s a textbook case of the Trinidad government acquiring something expensive without the means or will to maintain it. The online pictures are deceiving, painting a false picture of luxury that doesn’t exist. The only redeeming factor is the staff, who remain friendly and professional despite working in such deplorable conditions. I genuinely feel sorry for them. Save your money and avoid this resort. The high prices are unjustifiable, and the experience is far from the tropical paradise promised.

Stayed in Charlotteville, a beautiful village in Tobago overlooking Man O'War Bay. The local people have their fishing boats in the bay and are more than happy to transport you to Pirates Bay and Lovers Bay or for fishing trips. I would highly recommend asking for Jagga. He is very reliable and good fun and knows the best places to fish. Everybody is really friendly and there is a lovely laid back atmosphere. Fabulous swimming and so relaxing

An small island that is relatively undisturbed and unknown to most travelers. Unlike other Caribbean islands it is unspoilt, lacks a oversaturated tourism industry and is full of empty beaches. If you're looking for the exotic vacation of a lifetime where you'll make local friends and want to come back for more than Tobago is your place to be.

This island ok for traveler want to do kite surfing, a lot of winds in pigeon point beach and not crowded. If you have been to South East Asia, the beaches and scenery not as good as over there. This island good for introduction to American or European about tropical island and rain forest due to the distance.

A gorgeous country rooted in culture and history populated by friendly, warm-hearted people. Abundance of flora and fauna to please the eye and sensational weather.

Disclaimer, I'm not sure how to rate an entire island, also I love Tobago so I might be a little bit biased. Tobago is a lovely place on a whole to just chill and relax, with its laid back atmosphere, and plenty outdoor activities and festivals. It's (fairly) easily accessible from Trinidad by ferry and plane. I do recommend to bring foodstuff with you though, as everything is considerably more expensive than Trinidad.

Lovely unspoilt beaches, magnificent views and very friendly people. We were welcomed everywhere we went. There are still restrictions in place, so some activities are restricted, or not open, but it was still an amazing visit.

Oh Tobago! Still a very sleepy island where birds crowd to catch a glimpse of exotic bird-watchers 😊 Here you can find many beautiful beaches with not a single person around depending on the time of day or night you visit. You literally can have an entire beach all to yourself! If you're tired of being alone at the beach, join a group tour to the Buccoo reef and Nylon pool. The local guides onboard Power glass-bottomed boat are fun, friendly and well-informed! Warning! Their enthusiasm and genuine care for guests will keep you going back for more!

Whenever I come to Tobago, I make it a point to come to Kariwak at least for breakfast. The home made yogurt and fried fish with toast are my favorites and their cocoa tea is simply the BEST. Also, if you’re looking to have a solo retreat in nature but want to be steps away from the action in Crown Point, I highly recommend their garden rooms, which are quiet and put you in direct contact with the plants. The free yoga offering is a nice touch and the staff are all really lovely humans. It’s a 5 - 10 minute walk from the airport and about a 15 minute walk to all the restaurants in Crown Point so there’s no real need to rent a car unless you want to explore further afield.

We visited this charming little spot twice, first for early evening drinks, which were excellent. We returned the next day for breakfast, which was just okay, with the portions on the smaller side, though the service was good. All in all, we’d definitely return for drinks and would be open to trying lunch or dinner. The space is beautiful, so we’re also curious to see what the rooms are like, it may make for an interesting stay. They take cards and cash.

A beautiful Oasis in the midst of a commercial tourist hub. Rooms have a great balance of rustic and more standard hotel room fittings. The grounds are beautiful and give an island comfort. The restaurant has great ambience, the dinner menu wasn't intimidating but quite encouraging. The Fish meal we had was quite delicious, simple but well put together ingredients. The Iced Tea is a must try! The slice of Spice Cake was also very pleasant. My only complaint was that the meal was too expensive especially considering portion sizes. Feeling like I was being made to pay for the ambience and brand of the establishment.

Thee best costumer service , I arrived early at 1030am, check in was at 2pm and they had the room ready for me at 1055am . Really good complimentary breakfast , beautiful real wood huts , good wi fi and free yoga in the morning and free shuttles . 3rd time here and I will be back . Recommend to all thank you Kariwak.

We were very disappointed by our experience. We had first booked a trip on Expedia in April but had to postpone as I got sick. We were able to get all other bookings rescheduled free of cost but this wasn't possible at Kariwak as it was through Expedia. We contacted them to see if we could get a discounted rebooking directly. They offered a very small discount for our trip in May. We ended up booking the stay. When we arrived we were disappointed that they weren't even able to give us the Garden room which we had first booked for in April. When your hotel is mostly empty, it would have been a good gesture to offer the better room for guests who had paid twice. Not necessary but a good gesture. The hospitality at the hotel seemed very fake and not welcoming. Like nobody actually wanted to work there. Our experience only got worse after. While the room and surroundings were beautiful, places where they cost cut were very visible to see. 1. They don't have shampoo offered in the rooms. When we asked for it, they only said that they never give shampoo. In a beach town, you need shampoo, especially when you have a pool in the hotel. 2. What's even worse is that they only give you free water bottles when you check in. Not for any other day you've booked. I've never seen that practice anywhere else. 3. Their "free" breakfast was sooo bad. The crispy tuna was bland and then there's toast and some yoghurt+granola. No variety, no self-serve option. For the amount you pay, it's not worth it. 4. They don't have free coffee sachets in the rooms. And the last thing that really annoyed us was that they have this ledge above the bed that stops you from sitting up in bed. We whacked our heads on it multiple times when we were going to lie down. It's a health hazard. Overall, it's just better to book a stay in an apartment nearby than spend to stay here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kariwak. The location is quite convenient to the Airport, the beach and other restaurants and businesses. Kariwak also offers shuttle service to the beach. Kariwak is very beautiful both in the rooms and outside. The AC was very powerful, rooms were clean and no complaints with the water pressure. Outside was very relaxing, beautiful for taking pictures or relaxing by the pool or jacuzzi. They also have yoga and massages. The customer service was excellent. From Ingrid who picked up my family and I at the Airport. Josh our handsome bartender who was quite accommodating for breakfast and lunch. A very special hats off to Joel the all rounder who made our stay even more memorable accommodating my niece on her special day, organizing the staff to sing Happy Birthday for her 😁. Thank you Kariwak, we'll definitely be back.

My stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, the compound was clean and well-kept. I don’t necessarily have an issue with the hotel not providing free teas and coffees in bedrooms because their prices are affordable and you can avail yourself to such items at the hotel restaurant for free. There is an area to relax in the garden with hammocks with the jacuzzi/pool nearby. The breakfast was decent, it included fish, eggs, toast, fruit, yoghurt and granola. The only criticism I have is that the hotel staff DO NOT answer the telephone/landline. Despite this, the staff members that I encountered and met were super helpful, kind, welcoming and warm. They extended themselves to assist and accommodate us as best as they could. I would definitely return again.

Very friendly staff. Excellent quality service. Very clean, lovely breakfast buffet, Corn flakes, eggs, sausage, tomato, cucumber, jam, 3 kunds fresh fruits, juice, toast and one chaka, tea, coffee...,.. Really enjoyed my breakfast with staff smiling and making sure customer gets what he wants. Stayed for 2 weeks and loved it. Especial thanks to: Natasha, Janelle, Kibiki, Ayanna, Jenille, and Keshia who made my wife and myself life so easy and relaxed. We definately come back and enjoy the luxury we experienced. ROYA AND SHAHRIAR

The stay was outstanding and the hotel was close to the Queen’s Park Savannah if you like outdoor exercising or the gym and pool was on property the inclusive breakfast is delicious the wait staff in the morning are very hospitable Janelle ,Kibble and Natalia was always pleasant and helpful. Except for their supervisor or security not sure but that lady was always serious. The Hotel is close to public transportation if needed.

My hubby and I made a last-minute booking at Kapok Hotel and was extremely impressed! The staff were very accommodating and professional from start to finish. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-kept. Overall, the service exceeded our expectations — excellent experience and highly recommended! We also highly recommend dining at KAVA Restaurant — the food, ambiance, and service were outstanding!

Stayed for the first time for my birthday 🎂. Nothing begative yo say. Buffet breakfast was nice. Coffee was good. Big up to Alison for serving us. She recognized that our 3 year old daughter was a bit fussy and made her feel comfortable.

Overall:3.6-we had a separate full kitchen and room. The aging hotel needs updating & maintenance but felt safe. Check-in:3-friendly and efficient Room & living area:3.2 -felt clean & but missing certain basics, had only 2 towels for showers & nothing in the kitchen.Should have tea towel/paper towels/napkins available.Complementary tea and coffee area doesn’t get refilled after day 1.Hot water for showers are inconsistent meaning sometimes no hot water at all. Other than a/c there is no humidifier for proper air circulation. Also you hear a lot of road noise and loud sounds throughout the night. Kitchen has basic necessities but should replace the frying pan since it’s been scratched up really bad from use.Since there’s a full kitchen the hotel should offer grocery delivery service. It was nice that the rooms were not carpeted. Facility:3-wifi is very weak (non existent)had to use alternative to work. Even though the hotel is close to certain things, you need a car in TT, driving is crazy.There should be a shuttle that takes guest to close by shopping/supermarket. Gym is not 24 hrs & it’s small. Can’t really accommodate more than 2 people at a time. There’s no entertainment on-site would be good to bring in local businesses during the day to show case local goods. Exterior windows should be cleaned & pot holes in parking areas should be maintained Food: 3.5 -good local food and coffee when available.mostly eggs and typical western breakfast. Customs service: 4-really friendly people regardless where you go restaurant service especially.

KAPOK HOTEL- Trinidad’s hidden gem. From top to bottom, service is par excellence, service staff, maintenance staff, reception staff, such absolute perfection, courteous, friendly, efficient, and me thinking on the first day of my stay that this fantastic customer service was a fluke, but NO, it lasted the full 2 weeks. The wait staff at the Tiki restaurant where we had breakfast needs a mention also, very friendly I would highly recommend this pearl hidden in the hills of Maraval

I’ve really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Super clean, very well located in the city, people are super nice. Breakfast is complete and delicious. I definitely recommend this place.

This hotel is one of the "upper class" but does not meet expectations. There has been a lack of upkeep throughout the hotel. It needs a revamp to get up to date with a modern look. The private beach needs to be redone. The barrier of rocks caused moss to develop which does not look or feel welcoming. We ended up walking over to Store Bay. There is a public beach to the right of the hotel too.

I agree with the other reviews. Although this is the nicest hotel on the island, its overpriced. The views and beach are breathtaking, the (free) breakfast area is immersed around the beach, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the grounds are also well-kept. Wifi is iffy in the hotel rooms. They offer same-day laundry service.

Always stay at Coco Reef when I visit Tobago, July 2025, first time back since COVID Place is still well kept and beautiful However, feels like management has changed, noticeably leas staff, plumbing problems and shortages of towels, and whatever staff is there have strained looks and appear overwhelmed. There was a renewal of vows happening sometime during our stay , a lot of guests that weekend, but only 2 staff working clearing tables during breakfast. . There is a play room, it is only available upon request, kids loved it.

Has the potential to be a 4 star but the years have caught up and it was not maintained. Creaky doors, dirty floors, potholes in car park etc, the details are missing. Wi fi is very weak for 2025. Staff are great though. Location, beach, scenery are excellent. Very little amenities for elderly and handicapped.

This had been one of my favorite spots to enjoy the ocean and the Rock barrier that prevents the waves from crashing in giving the feel of an ocean salt water pool. NOW THEY ARE ALLOWING THESE COMMERCIAL BOATS INSIDE LITTERING THE SEASCAPE VIEW. THIS KILLS THE ONCE TRANQUILITY OF THIS SPOT.

Very Nice Hotel 🏩!!! Lovely Beach 🏖 Front!!! Lovely Private Beach 🏖!!! Very Lovely Well Kept, Lush Surroundings!!! Lovely l, Pleasant, Courteous Staff!!!

Beautiful place, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for that chill, relaxed spot to vacation with easy access to the beach

A Peaceful Nature Paradise – My Stay at Acajou Hotel My stay at the Acajou Hotel in Grande Riviere was beautiful and relaxing. The property feels like a tropical garden with coconut palms and lush vegetation. I especially loved the charming, separate wooden cabins, which offer plenty of privacy and come with balconies and hammocks – perfect for unwinding. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with mosquito nets ensuring a restful sleep. From the dining area, you could watch hummingbirds – a magical experience! The hotel is beautifully situated by the river and offers access to the nearby beach. However, the path to the beach was a bit challenging due to obstacles like a fallen tree. I also would have loved to see more fruit-bearing plants like papayas in the garden. Despite these small issues, Acajou Hotel is a tranquil retreat, ideal for nature lovers and anyone seeking relaxation. I’d happily return!

Recently stayed with my partner and 2 year old son. The cottage is cozy with a very natural but modern touch. Coffee station is offered in the room with a small fridge. My oh my was the bed comfy!!!! 5 🌟 The food was AMAZING!!! Breakfast is included in your charge. Recommendations - The area around my cottage and neighboring cottages should be better kept... the grass was a bit high. - We booked this place, yes, mainly to go turtle watching but also saw that a cot/ crib would be offered on request. This was not the case as we were told it was no longer offered. Remove this service from your online description. All in all the stay was pleasant and one that will always be remembered. Thank you staff at Acajou.

If you want to experience something like camping but with comfort you should check these little rustic cabins near the beach out. Each gives you privacy and there is plenty to explore especially if you love nature. The staff is friendly and helpful and if you want to do nature tours they are more than willing to help. Loved it here with my family and hoping to come for turtle watching at the right timing another day!

This remote hotel has rustic, picturesque surroundings. The rooms are cosy and welcoming. The food service has local delights and there is easy access to the beach and river

Acajou is a place that feels like a West Indian story book. Everything is lovely. The food is incredible. Kim and Tamara are excellent hostesses that make you feel at home. The experience can leave you speechless!

Paradise, I live being back home and revisting places I have been to when my kids were young. This place is fairly new and I absolutely love the rustic feel and privacy each of the cabins offer. I hope it does not change with time like the other place nearby taken over by a huge corporation. Makes it impossible for many to enjoy our island of Trinidad. Excellent breakfast and a wonderful dinner too. Service could be a bit faster but fitting the island vibe.

Acajou was indeed beautiful. The cottage was beautifully designed. Rocking in the hammock listening to the sounds of the waves was worth every penny. Three things however I would improve on are, better secured locks for the doors, secured blackout curtains, incase of peeping Tom's as the beach and fishing area is close by and more lights! Decorative lights around the trees would have been more beautiful at night. Definitely worth a visit. My 8 year old daughter loved it also. ❤️

Great beach.. not sure if the entrance fee is worth it for big groups because you still have to pay for chairs or cabanas.. Very beautiful and well kept beach with a variety of activities avaliable.

Pigeon Point Beach is undeniably beautiful, offering picturesque views and a relaxing atmosphere. However, there tends to be a lingering smell of rotting seaweed, which can affect the overall experience. While the water is beautiful, it's often cloudy. On the positive side, there are several food options available (overpriced), ample parking, and a range of water sports to enjoy, making it a convenient and activity-filled beach destination. Cost $20 to enter, over 60 years free.

A great beach! A nice stop with ample parking and some little shopping spots. Food can be pricey but it is fresh and tasty. There has been some seaweed but this time seaweed was limited and the water the clear and calm. It is always refreshing to stop and spend the day swimming and enjoying the beach.

Pigeon Point Beach is absolutely beautiful — one of the most scenic spots in Tobago! The water is crystal clear and calm, perfect for swimming and relaxing. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and has all the amenities you need — restrooms, food stalls, and places to rent chairs or do water sports. We loved walking along the jetty and soaking in the peaceful views. Truly a must-visit spot if you’re in Tobago!

Well worth the entrance fee. Great place to pick up a boat trip to Nylon Pool and Buccoo Reef, especially if you're looking for an alternative to the bass pumping party boats from Store Bay. Great showers, bar/restaurant, sun lounger hire etc

Great beach, beautiful waters and white sand. You can: Eat, have couple of restaurants Shops, for souvenirs etc Take boat tours, jetskies etc Swim

Magnificent beach that is kept very well. Lifeguards, restaurants, bars and watersports are right there. The sea was shallow and crystal clear with an area designated for swimming. Souvenir shops and parking is right next to the beach. Loved our time in Tobago and this beach saw us most days.

Very beautiful beach in Tobago. The water is blue/green in colour. There is a bathroom and a very few vendors. This beach is usually quiet. Car park is available. It is very relaxing.

I can’t say enough about this amazing hideaway the restaurant there is perfect the views and water are absolutely perfect. If you want to getaway from the crowd and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Tobago this is your spot!

Can't go to Tobago and not visit Englishman's Bay. Beautiful beach, great views. You must try the food at the tree house restaurant.

A beautiful beach. Blue green waters with some mossy rocks in between the sand. Kool spot for eats and drinks on the beach. Craft items also sold. The beach was a little rough the day we visited. A number of cows and goats along the road close to the beach (so cute).

Incredibly beautiful. When we were there we had the beach to ourselves. The water is amazing and sooooo blue. Truly a scene from the movies. Would not miss this if you are coming or in Tobago.

Beautiful secluded beach. There are only very few people on it and in the morning there's usually nobody there. You can enjoy your "private" beach alone or with someone you love. ;)

Wonderfully isolated beach. If driving, there is an easy-to-miss dirt road that provides access to this stunning beach. The sand is soft and the water is warm, and it's hardly ever crowded. There is even a small restaurant and souvenir shop. 100% recommend spending some time here.

Castara Retreat was everything I was hoping for when I researched where to visit and stay on Tobago. The hotel is just so unique, with the rooms/villas scattered just above beautiful Castara Bay, with fabulous views of the beach and the village. Super clean and well maintained, with nice grounds and tall shade trees. This is not a place for those who can't or won't climb stairs and inclines, because the buildings are all woven up the hillside, which of course is part of why it is so beautiful. The walk down to the beach, while a bit steep was only a few minutes. The restaurant was excellent, and the wellness center was great. My wife had a massage from Leah, who also took us snorkeling in the bay. Both experiences were top notch! Akido, our driver from the airport was super, and on another day we went on a short tour of the North side with him. He also introduced us to Doubles, the quintessential Trinidad street food- one of the best things I've ever eaten! Every single person we interacted with at the hotel were kind, friendly and helpful. Even though we were there in the slow season there was plenty to do in the village. I could go on, but I think I've conveyed how happy we were with our visit, and I fully and completely recommend Castara Retreat!

Castara village is a little paradise - crystal-clear bay, abundant wildlife, and the friendliest locals. But Castara Retreat takes it to another level, with the best eco-lodge and unbeatable panoramic views. The food at Caribbean Kitchen with Kadeem blew us away: fresh local ingredients, cooked with skill that I, as a French foodie I had to admire. Every bite was a delight. Our only regret was not staying longer. We’ll definitely be back!

Hideaway was just stunning. Rising in the mornings to birdsong and the rolling waves was medicine for our souls. The peace is unparalleled and just a beautiful place to bond and connect. Evening coffee overlooking mountains and morning tea with the backdrop of amazing topography and the Caribbean Sea cannot be met. One recommendation is sturdier and bigger beds especially since the space is catered towards romantic getaways. The romance package was worth it. Our massages and dinner at Caribbean Kitchen was just so spectacular. The views, vibes and vibrancy stellar.

We had a wonderful week at Castara Retreats. Loved the yoga in the morning, the unspoilt beaches and the sound of the sea from our room. We have been to many Caribbean islands but we have always been disappointed by the food. The food in Castara is wonderful, fresh, vibrant and tasty . If you like American style food and flashy bathrooms you won’t like it. Thoroughly recommend.

We absolutely loved staying at Castara, it was exactly what we were looking for in Tobago! It is an eco/rustic luxury retreat, with amazing views, right in the middle of nature, and great food. Would highly recommend.

This was our second time staying here (my wife and I). The first time we stayed at Beachscape, and the second time at Coasthanger. Both were amazing in their own way. The views of Castara Bay, the peace and quiet, and the AMAZING FOOD! Best food we have ever eaten - breakfast, lunch and dinner. The outdoor shower at Coasthanger was the most peaceful feature that made the trip so much more relaxing. We did a romance package which included relaxing massages at the breezy Wellness Centre. Customer service was great as expected for the entire stay. We love Castara and Castara Retreats. Will definitely return many times in future.

Extremely disappointed with Castara Retreats. Advertised as a “luxury” eco retreat - it’s far from it. Rooms were dated and the bathroom was akin to a prison bathroom. Outdoor kitchen was dirty and all utensils had to be rewatched and sterilised before use. Checked out early. Would not recommend.

We went here for a family dinner and was really impressed with the service, food and ambience! Very rustic and all meals were locally inspired. The grounds were clean and the amenities were in great condition for the restaurant. Overall the restaurant is highly recommended!

I stayed at the Royal Hotel recently and my stay there was very comfortable; it felt like home with no complications! This newly refurbished hotel surrounded by lush greenery and a large pool provided a peaceful getaway for me. Also, the restaurant and bar provided the best local cuisine and my favourite cocktails. My heart is full of gratitude and I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to the wonderful and hardworking team. Rest assured, I will be back soon. Margaret C

The name Royal Hotel is definitely synonymous with the hotel's interior and exterior, food & beverage, staff, and the leadership team included. Everything offered makes you feel like royalty. It is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Sanfernando area and wanting a bit of pampering "Royal " style. It's definitely one of the best hotels in Trinidad and definitely one of the best maintained and managed! The front desk managers are overly helpful, polite, and knowledgeable about the property and surroundings and always ready to assist! Thank you all for a great time at the Royal Hotel!

Had a wonderful time here. The staff made my stay very enjoyable. The food was excellent, and the price was worth it. The room was spacious, clean, and well-kept. The pool was extremely relaxing. I could have spent the entire night at the poolside. They had a natural feel even though it was in the city. It had easy access to San Fernando and all of it's amenities.

This was a very nice conference location in the city of San Fernando. The surrounding greenery made the experience feel like a retreat. The buffet lunch service was very good however they should have the option of freshly squeezed juices (this is a fault in Trinidad and Tobago hotels across the board). The staff were very lovely and also helpful. We did not do any overnight stays, so I don't have any feedback on that.

Worst service ever. Will not recommend anyone to stay here. Between the unkempt rooms and the way I overheard them speaking to their workers, I will not ever support this business again whenever I'm in town.

The service staff was incredible. The food was excellent I enjoyed everything I ordered. The value for 2 people including breakfast and dinner was just right. I will definitely be back booking another visit very soon. Will recommend to friends.

We had a lovely stay here. Resort was not very full so almost like a private pool and an uncrowded beach. Food is okay…nice that breakfast was included. Had an issue with our room and they fixed it quickly. Good location for surfing and snorkeling.

Hands down the best resort ever! Just spent 8 glorious days for a wedding and every detail was sheer perfection. The Staff, food, venue, and overall experience met every expectation. Huge thanks to Marcel for his non stop attention to every detail!!

We recently attended a wedding here and it was incredible! The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Marcel creates such a welcoming environment, he makes you feel like Mt. Irvine is your home. The breakfast buffet was delicious (kudos to the terrific omelette chef!) The activities that were planned (glass bottom boat tour, the welcome party and the beach wedding) were all next level! There were so many personal touches that made this an epic, once in a lifetime experience. If I were planning a wedding- I would replicate every single detail because Mt. Irvine Bay Resort went so far above and beyond! Thank you for everything, we will never forget your gracious hospitality!

The motto for this resort is "Welcome Home" and it lives up to it wonderfully. The food is INSANELY delicious and the staff are really friendly. Could really do with an on site ATM but that is just one quibble.

This place doesn’t even deserve a star, but I’m leaving one purely because the view from the room distracted me, briefly, from the disaster that is this hotel. We paid for early check-in and were told breakfast would be included on our first day. What we got instead was a polite suggestion to “head out and find breakfast somewhere else.” Imagine arriving early, tired and hungry, only to be told to go forage like a vagrant. When we brought this up, we were met with the customer service equivalent of a brick wall, cold, useless, and vaguely annoyed that we even existed. Enter the “Operations Manager,” a title that implies leadership and competence, but in this case, feels more honorary than earned. We were spoken to with condescension and dismissed like we were inconveniencing them. Apparently, their version of hospitality involves making guests feel like they should apologize for booking a stay. The rooms were decent, I’ll give them that, but the hallways at night? Pitch black. I’ve seen haunted houses with better lighting and more energy. Walking to the stairs felt like entering a scene from a low-budget horror film. Now, about the beach: the pictures online would have you believe the ocean gently kisses the hotel steps. Reality? You’ll be walking 7 minutes just to see water, unless you count the tears of disappointed guests. I’m from Florida. I know a beachfront when I see one. This was false advertising with a suntan. Mt. Irvine, do yourself a favor: retrain your staff, replace your “manager,” and stop making promises you clearly can’t keep. Guests shouldn’t have to fight for basic service or dignity. We came for an escape, not an exercise in lowered expectations.

The resort is actually really nice and has so much more potential. They could do better with upkeeping all around for this resort. Im rating my experience 2 star due to the fact it just didnt seem very welcoming. Almost felt like we were the only guests there when staying . I was told due to it having a low occupancy at the time we were there vs the weekends was different. Well if thats the case then you need to charge rates based off occupancy because we didn't get breakfast or dinner until the very end of our stay based off we booked for an entire week. Seems very misleading and not enough insight when speaking to staff. The rooms were nice but housekeeping needs to do better with cleanliness. I do recommend better mattress because it felt like we were sleeping on a box spring that goes under a actual mattress👎🏿. And that sheet is terrible to sleep with including a foam sheet with . I'd advise bringing a light blanket if u plan to sleep here . The close by beach was awesome tho and the pool looked very clean and maintained . But the vibes for the staff wasn't it at all and me going on a vacation spending alot of money to stay here just wasn't worth the hype. Also please do somthing with the golf course that looks like it could be a hit for the resort and welcome more occupancy so the hotel could thrive. Alot of people play golf and are always looking for a get away hobby included . Too much potential and good spot just to go to waste .

If you're staying at a guest house, make sure you get a day pass here good vibes

Quick and efficient. My mom required assistance and they were great to her. She was very happy. She was had a Trini passport. I have a US passport and I came through very quickly, no problems coming into Trinidad 🇹🇹 Security was very good about cars picking folks up. They don’t stress you out like they can sometimes at JFK. I’ll visit Piarco again. 🤪

I’ve traveled through Piarco International Airport on many occasions and here’s what you can expect. The airport offers paid parking and Wi-Fi, though the coverage isn’t available in all areas. Immigration and customs can sometimes take a bit of time, but once you’re through, the waiting areas are comfortable and well-equipped with restrooms and water fountains for refilling bottles. It’s wise to head to the boarding area a bit earlier, as security lines can get long. Duty free shopping is a bit pricey, but you can find some cost effective alcohol options. The airport also has a variety of dining options like Rituals, KFC, Royal Castle, Subway, Starbucks, and souvenir shops.

If “slow” was an Olympic event, POS Airport would take gold every time. The airport itself is clean, well-organized, with plenty of duty-free shopping, food, and beverages—and that’s where the positives end. This is after travelling here 3 times. Getting through this airport is painfully inefficient. It took me two hours just to get from the plane to outside the airport. Everything and everyone moved at a crawl, with no clear reason why. And don’t get me started on check-in for departure—Lord Jesus, it felt like I was walking backwards the entire time. Trinidad, you must do better. Airports are the first impression for visitors and the last memory for returning customers, and right now the experience leaves much to be desired...

Super-efficient and well-run airport. Toronto Pearson airport should learn from this airport

This is one of the airport I have seen that fast food restaurants are not hard to spot. From Starbucks to local multiple restaurants. Domestic gates are always busy. International gates are so quiet. It's like passengers comes get on flights then nobody but downstairs at the domestic gates is very busy. Domestic flights are 24hrs no closing which I like. When I had 22hrs layover at this airport. I literally stayed at the airport no joke. Will I do that again. Yes!...one thing though, if you come early for your international flight you have to wait 2hrs close to international flight departure then you can be allowed to go through security (which just 2 steps away from boarding gates) then you can go to the gates and board the international flight. Upstairs is clean, quiet, much like no fun but downstairs now that's where u get all the actions... Lol...Also there are little shop by each gates so you can buy some souvenirs before u get on the flight. Now that's business at it's best.

Very clean airport. This is Caribbean airlines HUB. Even though you go through 2 security check points, you are randomly pulled out of the line once your destination is international. I was there long enough to see them not treat Caribbean destination travelers the same way. I mean full body pat down and rummaging through your carry on. I wish this airport had more restaurants. There are a few coffee shops and souvenir shops. Parking is a nightmare, it doesn’t matter what day it is or what time of the day it is. The roads surrounding the airport is abysmal. Good luck!

A beautiful airport — to depart from, midday, when there’s hardly any flights. Fast and friendly check-in, efficient security. Arriving however in the afternoon was a different story. XXL lines, poor signage for transit passengers and the staff navigating the lines show very different treatment to crew/officials than to regular visitors. Since international arrivals need to complete paperwork (both sides) it’s a slow and tedious process. Lots of shopping opportunities— for arrivals and departures. Plenty of eateries before and after security too. Taxis operate at fixed rates and there’s even a food court.

Great run hotel. Very nice stay. Friendly staff, very clean and well maintained. Will come back

One thing to look forward to is their complementary breakfast menu, which has a wonderful selection of top-notch choices. The atmosphere is very laid back & one can enjoy the ambiance of poolside drinks & lunch, dinner, etc. The staff are courteous, very friendly & accommodating & by further way of compliments, their 'Bloody Mary's' rank among the best in the Hotel industry.

Had brunch and it was delicious! The omelette tasted so good! The staff super friendly

Quaint, quiet place ideal for the business traveler. The rooms were spotlessly maintained. The laundry service returned everything same day. They have a pool, a bar and a restaurant on site. The staff are all amazing. Service with a smile and a bit of jovial kindness you don't get at most places. This hotel is tucked away from the main road. Yet it gives a redort level service!

All the staff were excellent, it is a very well run hotel with very well equipped rooms. Comfort and safety are the watch words for this hotel. We will definitely be back.

Great service for the caribbean stay, and staff was very friendly and assisted in all requests promptly

This is a wonderful place to stay. The atmosphere is beautiful and calming. It's clean and encouraging. It's not close to the beach, that's the only downside.

Landed in Tobago on the 31st of Dec, and with a very reliable pick-up service by the hotel (immigration was super slow that day), upon arrival I simply changed and headed straight for the NYE party! What a brilliant night it was: live music, super atmosphere with bonfires on the beach and great cocktails, incl. laser show. Bacolet Beach Club is simply fabulous: views are to-die-for, fresh & delicious, healthy food (which was much appreciated, also since I have special food requirements), very friendly service and just a pleasure to be at. Their private beach is gorgeous too, you couldn't get me out of the water, if you tried. I particularly loved their Guitar Nights on a Thursday, which attracts guests and locals alike, and the Karaoke nights were just hilarious! All-in-all: for me the most enjoyable & fun place to stay on the island!

We loved the property with 3 pools to swim in plus the private beach. 3-section hotel is filled with beautiful trees and plants, and a large variety of birds are all around. Our room opened up to the pool, and we enjoyed late night swims with nobody else around. Lots of repairs and maintenance needed, but the location is priceless, and we loved our holiday here.

The room was very clean, spacious and elegant. With a little sink in the pantry area would be perfect. The service at reception perfect. Specially by the nice girl who received us the first day with her sweet daughter. She coordinated the taxi from the boat terminal to the hotel. At the restaurant was the same kindness from another girl. On her shift everything perfect, very different with the likely philippine waitress. Another service worker was very nice and helpful with us during our staying. The location is good for those who preffer calm and relax. For those who wants more activities can travel with vehicle, rent one or use taxi service like us.

The rooms were generally ok, however, there are many things that need to be corrected such as: bathroom shower heads were clogged, taps dated, doors making a dragging sound while opening/closing, mattresses are very hard, presentation wasn't much to be desired. Positive side, great location, check-in staff was great, dining area is amazing, grounds are pretty decent, beautiful views of the ocean, breakfast was 💯

Loved our short stay the only complaint was that is wasn't a long enough trip. Somewhere we would definitely return to.

Booked this hotel for 3 nights to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary and was sorely disappointed to say the least . The hotel is extremely dated and in general lacks care and attention. The room was old! The kicker for me was that the bed did not have a box spring, so the boards of the bed were felt through the mattress - in 2025 and at that price point - I think not! This resulted in me having to take medication for two days for back pain (happy anniversary to me)! The shower had exposed pvc and looked “rigged”, the water pressure was low. We had to put a chair against the door for additional security, since the latch seemed broken and the door damaged. Needless to say, we checked in at 7:20 pm on day 1 and promptly checked out at 9:45 am the next morning in search of alternative accommodations!!!! I logged a complaint with the front desk and AMEX at check out and now management is refusing to be honorable and provide reimbursement. If you are looking for a “good” place to stay, this is NOT it!!!!!! TBC

What a treat! We loved our stay at Bacolet Beach Club! Staff are friendly, food and cocktails are delicious and the hotel is set in a calm and relaxing location. An excellent spot to unwind! We stayed for one night in late January

PBV will always be a family favorite. Our first choice vacation spot in Tobago. With the benefit of a pool and the beach only a few steps away, it’s the perfect place to be. No need to pack the house and jump in a car to find the best beaches, since the villas themselves are already situated on one of Tobago’s finest beaches. Not to mention they serve the best virgin piña coladas! Can’t wait to visit again next year!!

What a gem! These villas are beautiful and spacious and bright and open to the lovely sea breeze. They are immaculately cleaned daily by the wonderful, helpful staff (who will also cook you a fantastic dinner each day for a nominal extra charge). The beach here is gorgeous and practically deserted. We seek out un-crowded beaches all over the world and this was one of the best. There are nice thick trees that you can sit under to be shaded from the sun, or you can pull your chaise lounge out onto the brilliant sand to soak up the rays. There’s a nice bar by the pool where the owner serves up delicious fruit smoothies, beer, wine, a variety of cocktails. Can’t wait to return to this magical spot for another week in paradise!

Our villa was comfortable and spacious with a large verandah where you can watch the amazing bird life. It is only minutes from a lovely long beach and there is also a pool if you prefer. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms are cleaned daily and for a small fee you can have a delicious meal prepared. I celebrated a big birthday there and Sean and his staff helped make the occasion extra special.

Sean is a wealth of information and makes an outstanding rum punch. The villa has beautiful views. Beach access is steps away from the bar. Would definitely stay here again. Betty Ann took great care of our villa and the provided lunch was perfect!

Dec. 2015 was the BEST vacation stay @ these villas! The house was perfect, everything that u needed was there . The porch had ample space to hang out/dance . We saw a varity of birds, I loved seeing the hummingbirds at the feeders! We had a short walk to the pool & to the private beach. Our daily helpers were the best, house cleaned & meals cooked. The manager didn't hesitant to get us additional fruits or what else we needed, Now that's excellent service!!! It was a comfort knowing while we out all day & @ night there was reliable security@ the gated villas. Great place! 👍

What can I say that hasn't been said in the other "Excellent" reviews. Tobago is the real Caribbean and we had previously visited 3 times with the children for family holidays when they were all at school, 2 of these trips being at Plantation Beach Villas. Last week we returned for our first summer family holiday now that the "kids" are all grown up and working. I am happy to say that nothing has changed. It was instantly friendly, welcoming and relaxing. Sean and the rest of the staff are the perfect hosts, the pool a great haven (of "peace" if I can say that when our kids were having fun on floatables there) and the beach is just perfect for all ages and activities. Thanks Sean for another memorable week!

Visited the Plantation Beach Villas this past weekend for a Tobagonian wedding this past weekend and had the most wonderful experience. Sean was communicative and hospitable right from the start of our email exchange - months in advance of the trip. We arrived to a beautiful home (love the way the windows all open to the sea breeze... you can hear the ocean through the night, and the birds through the day), lovely staff!, incredible beachfront and memorable adventure. Looking forward to returning. (Dinner at nearby Seahorse Inn is a must!)

We’ve visited Asa Wright about five times over the last 15 years, so we were excited to book a day pass over the phone. The booking process through customer service was quick and straightforward. The drive from Arima was smoother than expected, and entering the property was simple. We were greeted with chilled, citronella-infused towels and refreshing juices — a lovely touch. It’s been over a decade since our last visit, and the renovations are stunning. The property has a beautiful, natural charm, and the staff are friendly, courteous, and well-informed. We received a brief tour of the main house before being invited to explore the grounds while waiting for our walking tour. To our disappointment the hummingbird feeders are no longer at eye level on the veranda — something we had been looking forward to sharing with our kids. While there were feeders in the lower area, it was harder to appreciate the birds’ details from that distance. Also, there weren’t any 4 legged animals for us to observe as there were employees doing work around the house. Our walking tour with Mukesh (he was friendly and welcoming) was not what it used to be. Prior visits left us proud to be Trinis, to have this beautiful part of the country in our land. The tour this time was not as detailed and lacked the entertaining information which was very disappointing. By the end, we were ready for lunch, and though the buffet options were delicious, the lack of a kids’ menu for the cost of a day pass felt like a major oversight, especially as the children weren’t interested in the local dishes. AW used to be the ultimate Trini experience. Now it’s clearly all about profit and less about nature. This and other issues we had will makes it unlikely we’ll return.

Went to celebrate my son’s birthday and had a wonderful time. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and that we had everything we needed, even surprised us with a slice of birthday cake. The center is absolutely beautiful and we loved seeing all the wildlife and various trees. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job showing us around. My son’s favorite part was swimming in the natural pool, though it was freezing cold. Food is delicious. Overall it was a 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend visiting.

If you are a nature lover and you only do one thing in Trinidad, visit here. It's fabulous. Impeccable service, superb guides, great food, and the most amazing wildlife.

We were welcomed with a refreshing glass of juice and offred tea, coffee and cocoa tea. The cocoa tea was delicious. The guides were wonderful. They were friendly and well informed. The food was delicious. The only issue was the rain, and that is a rainforest issue, not an Asa Wright issue. NB:The road from Arima is much better than the last time I went.

Really enjoyed very relaxing and the food was awesome

What an experience. From the day we arrived at the gate to Check-out. Rachael, the Sales Reservations Manager, was awesome. She paid close attention to all questions, providing feedback to ensure that the experience would be seamless. Arlene, Elizabeth, Mukesh, Lorna, and all other members of the Hadco Experience staff made quite an impression with their warmth and care for our comfort. They are all Rockstars in my book 👍. The environment was breathtaking, and the trails made the journey worthwhile. A clean and spacious room and environment. meals were excellent, and attention was given to the presentation of the food. I must say that I got more than value for my money. Keep up the awesome work that is being done at Asawright Nature Centre. You have a patron for life ❤️ Looking forward to the experience again 👍

Gorgeous views Lovely trails Delicious food Luxurious accommodation

Our first vacation in several years led us to this beautiful beach, with food available and shallow waters, it became a daily trip for our family group.

Peaceful and serene.

The water is always clean and clear,and a very serene atmosphere.

one of my favorite places in Tobago. The bay offers amazing snorkeling sites and exceptional dive sites. The beaches themselves generally have clear, calm and clean water with easily accessible beaches, each supporting a beach facility and nice sand with few stones on the shore. despite the calmness, in the norther corner, surfable waves develop.

Wonderful surfing and snorkeling Join the fun giving God the Glory with Tobago Aqua Joggers at 6am

I love this beach for the clear water and little huts on the shore, but it's a bit stoney in some areas.

The water is clean and clear... Beach has sudden drops in the terrain so beware if u can't swim!

I usually go here for Tobago Paint. This year we didn't have the jouvert fete... but the hotel rooms was nice over looking the sea... but I had one problem... there was no cold water.... only hot water...only in the room I stayed in... my friends said they had no problem. I will go back guaranteed...

This is a lovely venue but it needs some serious updating. Lively view of the Setting Sun

(Translated by Google) It used to be nice, but now it looks a bit run down. A bit of rubbish on the beach and also a lot of stones. It's a shame that people want money for that. (Original) War mal schoen, sieht jetzt bißchen runter gekommen aus. Bisschen Müll am Strand und auch viele Steine. Schade, dass man dafür Geld will.

Absolutely stunning views! Delicious food and yummy treats and drinks!!! Back n Shark with garlic sauce out of this world!! 😊

Leave early (morning) to beat traffic & crowds. • Bring swim gear, sunblock, towel, water etc. so you’re not overly reliant on vendors. • Try the bake & shark but maybe also check less crowded stalls if you want a more relaxed food experience. • Check the weather / surf forecasts. If too windy or rough, your experience in the water may be less enjoyable. • Be sure to enjoy the drive up — there are look-outs or spots for photos.

This is one of the nicer beaches on mainland Trinidad. If you're a tourist, it's a must visit. Welcoming to all types of people and very beautiful. Toilets are $5 to use, which is ok if they can keep them clean. Drinks and food is available to buy if hungry. Guys on the beach are very polite even if you don't want to buy. Just needs a hotel, bars and and 2 or 3 shopping centres building in the local area to boost tourism. The route up the mountain to the beach is a fantastic drive but needs to be controlled better as the local drivers need driving lessons.

My favourite beach to visit. First time during the rainy season in May. Bake and shark, love the scenic view on the way winding down into the bay. It's changed very much over time. Lots more stalls on the beach now which is different. I still enjoy tumbling in the waves. It's not a relaxing swim but more of a workout in the sunshine and liming. Had some cute coconut cocktails in the van on the road. Wave after wave!

I’ve been to many countries and beaches, and I wouldn’t put this one in my top 5 or even top 10. It’s a nice beach to spend some time on while visiting the island, but Tobago is much better known for its beaches. The water here wasn’t especially clear or blue, and the waves made swimming less enjoyable. We came on a cruise ship tour that cost about $70 per person for only 2.5 hours at the beach. Sunbeds and umbrellas were not included—we paid $20 extra—and even showers weren’t part of the package. Getting back on the bus was frustrating because no one told us you can’t board wet, so without dry clothes or towels it became an issue, especially since the ride back to the ship was about 1.5 hours. There were a few snack and food vendors around, but overall the experience felt overpriced and underwhelming. For me, this beach earns about 3.5 stars at best.

My fave beach in Trinidad, the facilities are pretty great (would reccomend walking with cash as you have to pay for parking/facilities etc).

Absolutely a highlight for anyone visiting Trinidad or locals hanging out. I think it’s popular for a reason as it has some of the best food spots of any of the beaches on the island and the water is calm and picturesque.

This is a historic place to visit. The museum is small but has so much history to make it a fascinating place to visit. The power magazine is well preserved as is the well. There is the lighthouse which has been recently renovated and stands majestic on the hill. The atmosphere is very tranquil and the view is breathtaking. It is well worth a visit.

The park is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views overlooking the sea. It's peaceful, well-kept, and manicured, perfect for a relaxing stroll. There are lots of historic cannons, benches to sit and take in the scenery, and informative signage about the site's history. I even visited at night and the views were just as stunning. There's security on site, washrooms available, and parking is no issue. A great spot for both history lovers and anyone just looking to unwind with a view. The park seems to always be open as we visited before sunrise and at midnight.

A historical spot which showcases the strategic position of this location. Vast panoramic views of the ocean and coast line. These grounds are well kept. A light sits at the highest point. There is a small museum as well. Worth visiting this historic spot.

On a holiday, the museums are closed, but the property is open. We almost had the entire place to ourselves. The picturesque property is the perfect photo opportunity to remember your trip to this beautiful island.

Lovely views and you can also visit the museum if that's in your interests

Great historical site. Peaceful. The entire area was kept clean, landscape well manicured with detailed information on buildings. The fort sparks lively discussions on the operations in its time! On my visit, there was a small birthday group and a wedding party taking photos.

Breathtaking views, informative museum, and a lovely trail to walk and explore.

Beautiful beach in Tobago. You can rent an umbrella and chairs for the time u want to spend on the beach. Blue warm water.

The water is amazing - so clear and clean. I enjoyed shopping and buying souvenirs at the many stalls that are located here. You will be able to buy clothing, jewelry, and artifacts. If you're driving, park in the parking lot and not on the street, it's a better place to leave your car. We ordered the infamous curry crab and dumpling dish from Miss Trim's. It was delicious. Not a lot of crab meat but the flavor of the curry is satisfying enough. And, the dumplings were the best I had. You can purchase your ticket to sail out to Nylon Pool. Make sure to go up to the ticket booth to purchase.

The scenery was beautiful. An environment you can relax, while the breeze blows on you. You can bring your family to have a good time on the beach.

Beautiful clean beach with lovely clean water... bathroom and shower facilities for a small fee of $2:00-$5:00 TTD, yes handicap access to washrooms and showers.

Beautiful waters, multiple food places to choose from. The best ice cream shop and soap and cream skin treatment shop.

Calm and empty during the weekday. Nice beach for young kids. Barely and waves and nice sand to play in.

Store Bay is one of the most popular beaches in Tobago and It's not just because of the water and sand. Thankfully there are beautiful food huts with an array of delicious foods to eat, an ice cream parlour and seating areas.

We had 2 nights at Asa Wright and what a wonderful experience. We had been 10+ years ago and decided it was time for a revisit. The renovations and additions are amazing, so well done and very tasteful. From the arrival greeting, induction to the property, attention to detail, service of all the staff and the food, we had an exceptional time. Our bird guides were extremely knowledgeable and during our time there we had the joy of recording the sighting of 41 individual species of birds along with beautiful flowers throughout the forest and other creatures seen along the way. Our biggest unexpected birding treat was seeing 5 Toucans!! We will definitely be returning later this year as this place was so good for the soul.

The new buildings are beautiful and well maintained. The staff were wonderful - friendly and helpful. The bird viewing area allowed us to see tons of hummingbirds and other birds. The walking trails were very pretty. The food was fantastic as was the cocoa tea. The little gift shop had some lovely items.

Great experience! Knowledgeable guides! Clean looking surroundings. Good food and drink! Hospitable staff. Well worth the cost! I would say international standard. For those who can appreciate beauty and silence except the sound of nature. Lovely rivers. Clear water pool to bathe! A functioning toilet along the trail. Would you believe that! Most of all, wide variety of hummingbirds and toucans etc.

An Unforgettable Stay at Asa Wright Nature Centre with Hadco Experiences Our stay at the Asa Wright Nature Centre, hosted by Hadco Experiences, was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by beauty—lush greenery, the songs of countless bird species, and the warmth of some of the kindest, most welcoming staff I’ve ever encountered. Pam and Natasha in the restaurant set the tone for excellence in service and hospitality. Every meal was over-abundant, perfectly prepared, and bursting with flavor. The goat dish was unforgettable, the fish consistently fantastic, and the homemade pepper sauce was exactly the spicy delight my husband craves. Special shoutout to the mocha cheesecake and Belgian chocolate ice cream—truly indulgent and not to be missed! Our birding experience was elevated by the outstanding guides: Rondel, Caleb, Guiselle, Annandra, and Mukesh. Their passion, knowledge, and patience made every outing memorable, and they were always available on the porch for questions or spontaneous sightings. Speaking of which, a heartfelt thank-you to Richard from security—he literally tracked us down to help us spot a Trogon. That level of care is something you don’t forget. And John—he’s the kind of person who feels like an old friend within minutes. Warm, friendly, endlessly helpful—saying goodbye to him was tough. Finbar, the bartender, kept the atmosphere light and joyful with his easygoing nature and generous spirit. Honestly, he felt like part of the family. And Warren, the general manager, clearly leads by example. The staff culture is one of warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine care. Every single person went out of their way to make us feel at home. The Barred Antshrike Room (#7) was perfectly situated near the main building with minimal steps (note: a little uneven, so just watch your footing). The room was clean and comfortable, with top-notch linens, including large, cozy bath sheets. A few small suggestions: labeling the light switches and adding a shelf in the shower would add convenience, but these are truly minor “first-world problems.” Also, be aware that the walls are VERY thin. The property itself is beyond words—restored to its former glory, with beautiful West Indian architecture and furnishings. The ambiance is serene and immersive. I cannot stress enough how safe and well-maintained everything felt. The staff's diligence in cleaning and replenishing bird food daily was impressive and appreciated. Hadco Experiences made our trip seamless from beginning to end. They handled all the planning, the dozens of safety questions, the changes, and made everything worry-free. Their professionalism and attention to detail meant I never once had to play “travel agent”—I could just relax and enjoy. A note for future guests: • Avoid holidays like Mother’s Day if you’re focused on birding. On that day, a large crowd of non-birding guests and loud children unfortunately disrupted the peaceful atmosphere. The viewing deck even had people watching sports on their phones—something that truly detracted from the unique magic of this place. Still, these were isolated moments in what was otherwise an exceptional experience. The birding, the food, the people, and the peaceful surroundings far exceeded our expectations. It was truly painful to leave, and we’re already dreaming of our return. My one lingering concern is the future of Asa Wright once Hadco’s lease ends. Their stewardship has been transformative, and I only hope whoever follows maintains the same level of care, vision, and respect for this incredible place. A recommendation would be to develop a downloadable trail map that isn’t governed by a third party app. This and a bird list would be great to have to quickly download directly from the Hadco website. We didn’t just visit a nature centre—we found a home away from home. And we will absolutely be back.

I attended the Yoga retreat at Asa Wright Nature Center today and had an absolutely amazing experience! The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. The facilities are top-notch, providing a serene and comfortable environment to immerse yourself in nature. The yoga and meditation sessions were revitalizing, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and mindfulness amidst the beautiful surroundings. The guided trail was exceptional! The guide had over 30 years experience and his passion is second to none. The food was another highlight—delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. I highly recommend Asa Wright Nature Center for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and find peace. I'll definitely be returning!

Absolutely 💯 gorgeous, the views are amazing, the property is very well kept and maintained. I recommend to add zip lines for activities

Had an amazing time , great food, great views, great scenery. Peaceful and quiet, only noise ,nature.

So beautiful, driving through this lush area

They say this is the oldest protected rainforest in the western hemisphere. It is not. It's the oldest PROTECTED rainforest in the western hemisphere. Apart from that it's a really beautiful piece of nature. You can take a long walk there when you get tired of lying on the beach under the hot sun. It's very relaxing and refreshing experience that gives you energy to continue your tropical holiday. :)

An absolute treasure of nature. Features a host of wildlife to be discovered with every visit. Perfect for those who love hiking, bird watching , waterfalls etc. Taking a guide is always a bonus to learn some interesting facts. I encourage all those who visit to leave it as they found it and help preserve this natural oasis on this great island of Tobago

The flora there was absolutely beautiful. The wild life, the surroundings, the air, just overall a stunning place.

Friendly and knowledgeable guides available to take visitors on the numerous trails. The area is also easily accessible with well maintained roads. Great experience.

Our guide was Fitzroy Quamina. He allowed us to go our own pace. We started with the intention of making it a 3 hour tour, but for the pace we were going, he gave us the option to make it a four hour tour, which we needed. It was nice to have that time to see all the birds, natural beauty and excursions to water falls that Fitzroy revealed for us. His rates are very reasonable. He doesn't have an email address so you have to call him. If you do a search on his full name and 1895 or 2524 you'll find pages with his contact info. The attached pic has Fitzroy showing us one of the off-trail waterfalls.

Amazing bird watching around these parts, particularly in the company of a local guide. We highly recommend Mr Newton George and his tours of the area.

We went on a daytime boat tour and hike on the island. It was a very very hot day, with almost no breeze, and because of this we think that’s why we did not see any wildlife. Our guide did a good of of explaining the nature and the history of the place and taught us lots about the trees. Sad we didn’t see any monkeys, but that’s nature sometimes. Appreciate the serendipity of the experience.

A fantastic adventure trip. Green and filled with beautiful trees, birds and natural scenes. A very cool countryside drive, that is absolutely beautiful. The lighthouse at Plum Mitan is an interesting historical site, though, one should visit when dry as the road climb or drive is slippery when wet. One can have a fantastic view of the entire east coast from the lighthouse, accessible by stairs. There is security and parking the compound. One can see hawks, toucans, red howler monkey 🐒, macaws and 🦜.

Wetlands with monkeys and birds, for somone like me an eco-tour heaven. Highly recommended.

Beautiful protected place, lots of birds in the various segments of the canal, smaller ones in the mangrove including kingfishers, then herons and such in the open space and then parrots in the forest at Bush bush island. We've seen monkeys, the red howler and the native white capucins.

A nice drive down the east coast of Trinidad.

Lovely at sunset seeing all the birds returning

Beautiful place and amazing tour guides
