Castara Inn

Great place. Marlon and Rhonda are very friendly and accommodating. They are quick to respond to any requests but leave you to enjoy your stay. The property sits on a cliff with a breathtaking view of a secluded cove. The jungle is full of birds (ok, the Chachalacas are quite noisy in the morning but fun to watch as they glide down among the treetops). Several large mango trees provide ample shade and there are chairs with little ledges to place your morning coffee. The studio, while modest, was well equipped with a kitchen with kettle, hot plate, fridge and cooking and serving utensils. The bathroom was nicely updated and included small bottles of shampoo and body lotion. The shower had a large supply of body wash and lots of towels and wash cloths. Minutes from Castara Beach and Englishman's Bay. I'd definitely stay there again.

Honestly? Nothing. The only “positive” is that I quickly learned you can’t rely on a paid reservation here.

This hotel is a masterclass in how to drive customers away. I booked through Booking.com and paid in advance. The hotel contacted me via WhatsApp. During that conversation, I said I was still unsure about my arrival (yellow travel advisory / travel plans). That was not “go ahead and cancel,” it was uncertainty — something any professional property handles with clear terms. What did they do? Without any proper warning, they canceled my reservation and simply resold my room. And yes: two days later I confirmed that I was coming — and suddenly it was “no longer possible.” Of course not, because they had already given my paid room to someone else. This isn’t “miscommunication.” It’s pure unprofessionalism and completely unreliable. If you communicate via WhatsApp, you set a clear deadline (“please confirm by…”) or you pick up the phone. You don’t quietly cancel and resell the room as if the guest doesn’t exist. I am now waiting for my full refund. If this takes even a moment longer than necessary, I will share this experience publicly everywhere — including exactly how long the refund took. Conclusion: avoid this hotel. They don’t respect their own bookings, communication is poor, and they will leave you stranded.

Charmant appartement, schoon, heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Prachtige locatie.

Die Unterkunft war die schönste auf Tobago. Sie war mir allem ausgestattet, was man benötigte, sehr sauber und gemütlich. Der Blick von der Terrasse auf die Palmen und das Meer, nachts mit Glühwürmchen, privater Zugang zu einem Strand… und vieles mehr. Die Kommunikation lief sehr gut und wir haben uns immer sehr wohl gefühlt!

Utsikten är fantastisk. Det är är fåglar och annat djurliv direkt utanför den enorma terrassen. Trevlig och tillmötesgående personal. De är flexibla och uppgraderar gärna om det finns möjlighet och utan extra kostnad. Vi fick en extra lägenhet som var i anslutning till vår lägenhet istället för en extrasäng till vårt barn. Så oväntat och så generöst. Vi har bara gott om att säga om detta boende.

The accommodation has an amazing view and is very well equipped. The host is amazing and very friendly

The location and the view were great, and the host was very nice and helpful.

Fantastic outlook and well-provisioned accommodation. Surrounded by trees, birdlife, and a dark starry sky. Short walk (5 mins) into town.

Should have stayed longer!

The room was ok. Definitely bigger than 10 sqm. More like 30 sqm.
