I finally had the pleasure of staying at the wonderfully put-away Cuffie River Nature Retreat at the end of April 2013. I arrived in Tobago via ferry from Trinidad with my own private vehicle. The hotel is located 30 minutes from Scarborough, but from the moment I arrived at the grounds the feeling of peace overwhelmed me. Birds were in... More

A fantastic away from it all location to experience the rain forest and learn first hand about the birds, plants and flora. Regina is a perfect host providing big airy rooms and some of the best authentic food we were lucky enough to eat on T & T. It may be tucked away, but this is definitely a location to... More

An oasis of luxury way out in the forest, with birds everywhere. Great food, wonderful rooms with balconies - fabulous Ruby Topaz Hummingbirds, Northern Potoos, and White-wnged Nightjars, just to name a few. A great place to unwind and recharge your batteries.

We stayed for 2 weeks, longer than most, but were never bored. Regina and her staff are exceptional, warm and welcoming. The Retreat had everything we wanted. We were there for a few nights as the only guests and sampled more local dishes than would be normal, but all our meals were delicious. This is an exceptional place where one... More

I was on a birding tour group of ten people. We stayed at Cuffie River three nights and loved every minute. The lodge is somewhat isolated in second growth rain forest, very good for birding. Most of the ten rooms are on the second floor, each very large with large private balcony. My very comfortable room had two double beds,... More

We share and agree with all the favorable comments made about this place. However, as another poster mentioned, one must beware the offered bird walk. I just sent the following message to the Cuffie River owner. "As my comments in your guest book indicated, we enjoyed our recent stay immensely. The setting, the accommodations themselves and especially the food were... More

For me, this is one of those places I will never forget. First of all, this eco-lodge is perfectly designed with lots of open air spaces to take full advantage of the tropical winds. Our room was on the second floor and had a good-sized balcony for relaxation/birdwatching. There were very large French doors to the balcony, but they were... More

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Cuffie River with its airy spacious rooms that the breezes float through; there's lots of comfortable sittling places to gaze at the bird activity in the trees and try to catch pictures of the red, green and blue humminbirds zipping into and away from the feeders. The birds... More

Cuffie River is an eco-lodge with the main attraction being for bird watchers. Quite a number of people go there after staying at Asa Wright centre on Trinidad. Tobago has a few bird species that are either not present on Trinidad or are easier to see compared to Trinidad. Certainly a good place to photograph the hummingbirds and also the... More
