We loved this spacious, open-air apartment. located on a secluded rainforest hillside overlooking picturesque Castara Bay. It comes with an extremely well-equipped kitchen and a European-style bathroom with an open shower, big enough for the whole family, spraying out into the room. The birdlife was fantastic. We delighted in eating every meal on the wooden deck with birdfeeders attracting a... More

I just got back from staying at this house with two friends of mine. We had a wonderful time in Castara Bay. The house was great and has a beautiful view of the bay. It is a bit of a steep walk up the steps and road to the house though. The property managers were fantastic and very helpful anytime... More

Having stayed at a variety of small Crown Point hotels in previous years, my boyfriend and I decided to try a less touristy part of the island for our late March/early April 2012 holiday, and chose one of Carpe Diem’s self-catering studios overlooking Castara Bay. We’d visited this traditional fishing village on ealier trips to Tobago and liked the laid... More

We spent a week in one of the studios at Carpe Diem in early March having spent the previous week in Barbados. If you want 5 star luxury and international cuisine with prices to match - choose the former, if you want genuine friendly locals in a real fishing village, delicious fresh Caribbean food, laid back, helpful and friendly hosts...

We spent two weeks in a studio at Carpe Diem and appreciated the novelty of staying in a place that reminded us of a tree house. We spent most of our time on the balcony enjoying the view, wild life and unique soundtrack of Castara. We loved sitting watching the visiting birds and made a point of putting out bread,... More

There are a lot of reasons for taking a “trip of a lifetime”. In our case it was the end of a maternity leave period. The decision to travel 4,500 miles with a thirteen year-old and a 10 month old baby might seem a strange one to some, but when you choose a place like Carpe Diem in Castara it... More

Support and service: I choosed the place because of the beautyful view and the recommendations here at tripadvisor. And what else can I say, that I found it to be true. First of all Yvonne supported me from the very first contact with quick responses, a car to pick me up from the hotel and informations about what and where... More

My friend and I recently visited both Trinidad and Tobago over Carnival. We didn't have the best accomodations in Trinidad so we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived in Tobago and realized where we were staying! The house is set into the hillside- surrounded by lush green vegetation, beautiful birds and the most amazing view of Castara Bay. Chris and... More

I love it here and will be back if Chris and Yvonne will have me! They are such lovely people and have a lovely place to stay. We stayed in the Green Room which had a large bathroom and opened to a giant deck. The view is the best in the area and the sunsets are unreal. Wild birds sit... More

Tucked away in the hillside overlooking the bays of castara, carpe diem provides fabulous views in a lush tropical setting. The studio we stayed in was tastefully and thoughtfully furnished and well equipped, especially if you like to cook during your stay. The owners,Chris and Yvonne were really friendly and helpful, as were the local staff, Denzil and Doris. If... More
