Amazing gem in a beautiful location.
Amazing place in Castara. Our room was directly on the beach. Amazing facilities and a wonderful host. Wished we could have stayed longer and will definitely return. This hotel and the host were the best part of our week in Tobago.

Our spacious clean room had air conditioning, but no glass on the windows. Wooden slats and heavy drapes. You can listen to the surf all night long. The view from the decks (we had 2) was amazing. The sea is so beautiful. We were right on the beach and close to the restaurants. Their is no shuttle, but taxis are available at the airport. ($55 US) Once you arrive, the hotel owner, Ansel, will help arrange transportation and tours. One of many highlights was eating fresh fish for breakfast that Ansel had caught the night before.

Beautiful Spot on the Caribbean
Our balcony had a view of the beach. We could snorkel from the beach, and we were able to hire a young man to take us fishing and snorkeling at nearby beaches. It was a very relaxing stay. Good breakfasts! ATM didn’t accept our cards, so bring plenty of local cash.

Right on the beach, exactly where you would want to wake up in Castara. More of a quiet part of the beach, but the busy market and restaurants are in a few minutes walking distance.
Amazing staff, we really felt like home.

Naturalist a hidden treasure
The hotel is right on the beach. We were there during low season so very few actual restaurants were open. There is a small grocery across the beach, so you can purchase essentials. There is also lots of very fresh and wonderful street food.
We had two rooms that connect. I think they were the Whale and Crows Nest. Crows nest is a tiny room with a double bed and an outdoor kitchen with an amazing view. The Whale was very large and had two double beds and an inside kitchen. My only complaint was their was barely silverware for 3 people.
The bay was amazing! The water is clear and warm. The waves were extremely gentle.
The drive to Castara is not for the amateurs. The road is very windy and you drive on the left hand side. We thought it was worth it. Castara is beautiful, quiet, and the people are very friendly.

What is shown on Expedia is not what you get. The actual property that was booked isn’t on the beach itself but rather a short walk to the beach. The ocean view is obscured by trees and buildings. There was no soap or shampoo in the suite we booked had to go to the lodge on the beach. The breakfast was great though.
