We just got back from Tobago where we stayed at the Naturalist Beach Resort for the first two nights of our vacation. The hotel is right on the beach and all of the units have great views of the beach and ocean. We were warmly met when we arrived and check in was quick. The rooms are simple, but very... More

This was my first time staying for an extended period in Tobago in over 10 years and I didn't want the overpriced hotels in Tobago. We wanted something different. The naturalist may be considered a little far from the port or airport but it's definitely worth it. If a drive to Maracas beach in Trinidad isn't a hassle for you,... More

This place is just perfect in position, right on the beach, excellent value, and run by a man who goes beyond just being a hotelier, he simply describes himself as the custodian of the place.. But in reality he can't do enough to make sure you enjoy what castara has to offer. New rooms were added in 2012 .. And... More

This was our seventh Caribbean vacation, but our first that didn't include an all inclusive property. What a wonderful change. Arriving at the Naturalist end of January, we were welcomed by Ancel. Our accomodations were outstanding.......the people warm and welcoming....and the scenery breathtaking. This was a vacation that bears repeating.....we will be back!

The Naturalist Beach Resort in Castara - is nothing short of the caribbean dream come true. Especially the new building housing the Wahoo room on the first floor with majestic view of the beach. The lazy splash of the waves on the beach is ever present and lulls you into pure relaxation. As such the Naturalist is pure gem. The... More

The Naturalist is the best spot going, not just in Castara, but I'd venture a guess, anywhere on Tobago. The vibe here is easygoing, friendly, and accommodating, at once. You will feel instantly relaxed upon arrival and recharged upon departure. My husband and I spent five nights here with his mom, in the 2-bedroom Snapper unit, on the upper floor... More

We spent the majority of our time on Tobago staying in Speyside on the eastern side of the island. This gave us easy access to our excellent birding guide, Newton George, who lives over there and allowed for a quick and easy trip to Little Tobago. However, we had left our last few nights unbooked and, thankfully, we decided to... More

I would say Castara is the best place to stay if you want to stay away from the main resort areas, and in Castara the Naturalist is the best place to stay, located right on the beach only a stones throw away from the nearest restaurant, and shops. We weren't sure what to expect when we booked Tobago and chose... More

What can I say about this hidden gem of a beach resort. When my girlfriend and I walked up to the place we didn't really know what to expect. We had only seen some photos on the internet and of course read the reviews so we knew we would be fine but walking from where the taxi dropped us off... More
