It's difficult to find anything to add to all the other glowing reviews! This is a real gem of a place and well deserves five stars all round. This is partly due to the beautiful location, partly due to Porridge, his wife, son and others in the team at Castara who make everyone feel so welcome. The Castara Retreats website... More

Last piece of Heaven left on the earth. We had a great stay in Castara at Castara Retreats. A work trip but pure peacefulness while in Castara. Porridge, his wife, and even his son were most helpful. Porridge even gave me some limes to season our fish for dinner. Just great people in the village and amazing place at Castara... More

We spend a wonderful 6 days at Castara Retreats in Hummingbird 1 and the studio and both apartments can be very much recommended. The rooms were tastefully furnished and entirely made out of wood. They fitted in very nicely with the surrounding nature. For people who like to have an ac at night the studio would be the choice. Views... More

We stayed in the rainforest apartment for a week, this is the third time we've been to Tobago but this was our first time in Castara , however it def wont be our last. The views from the balcony alone make the holiday exceptional and we saw loads of great wild life just eating our breakfast. We had grand plans... More

We stayed two weeks at the Retreats again this Easter, and enjoyed it even more. Why even better? Anticipation for one thing, knowing how good it is from our first visit; the restaurant run by Kenny and Patricia which produces excellent food (and Wes mixes a mean cocktail!); the welcome and service from Porridge and Jeanell; got to join in...

A beautiful location, with incredible views. Our apartment, Rainforest, was very big and open and had 180 degree views to the beach, ocean and village/mountains. The accommodations were well appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Evening meals at Castara Retreats were delicious and varied. Dining in town was a little more affordable.

We stayed at Birdsong for 10 nights. This is an outstanding place to stay- a wonderful treehouse with the most amazing views, cooled by sea breezes with all the comforts of a hotel with so much more space and freedom. We fell asleep to the sound of the sea and woke to the sun coming up over the whole bay.... More

We spent only two day at Castara Retreats, but still think of it as the best part of our one week vacation in T&T. Beautiful location, great view, friendly and fun staff that would eagerly help you with any question, but at the same time give enough privacy. The restaurant that just opened up is a great addition to the... More

What I can add to the many positive reviews is pertinent for Canadian travelers -WestJet offers some incredibly affordable flights to Trinidad - my daughter and I travelled for less that $700. for the both of us - no, not each but BOTH of us. The flight from Trinidad to Tobago was about $70. return, and the timing of these... More

Four of us, two couples, stayed for ten days in a two bedroom apartment (Rainforest) with a stupendous view over the ocean, framed by palm trees. The service was prompt, personal and helpful. Porridge and Jenelle were attentive and visited us daily to check that we were alright. The owner Steve and his son Callum ensured that we had Internet... More
