Location was good but unless you’re very fit you really need a car to get up from the local beach & to get to the restaurants in the evening. It did have a lovely view from the balcony & there were plenty of birds. Shared garden & very steep path to local beach. There were 4 of us & only 2 bath towels but a quick message to Rhonda & this was soon sorted & we were given beach towels to use too.

The property looked a little jaded & needed a few things fixing & updating but it was clean.

We stayed in the 2BR house. A wonderful location with a beautiful view, great communication from Rhonda, and close enough to walk to the local central area, for beach, restaurants, and shopping. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking some meals. Bed cozy, big bathroom :) and lot's of storage space for unfolding into the comfy space. Thank you for a great stay!

All was great - Nothing more than a suggestion, to only enhance the experience even more! The kitchen is well appointed but just a little dark, adding another light in the cooking area, and living room would really improve the space. An easy fix. The view at sunset is wonderful if you could remove a section of the privacy/panels that for us was not needed. These are only suggestions, we would come back in a heart beat even if nothing changed with the above. Thank you!

Castara Inn was such a wonderful place that it provided me with everything I wanted. My apartment had an amazing, breathtaking view that captured both the lush green mountains and the enormous ocean. Loved it! Enjoyed birds' chirping, magnificent nature, and sunsets at the calm and quiet patio. The place was super clean, fully furnished, and well-maintained. Everything looked brand new. All the entertainment sources (Wifi/TV/streaming services like Netflix) were top notch. Castara Bay beach was just a few minutes walk down the hill. I spent many hours every day in the spectacular turquoise water at Castara Beach. As it was not crowded, I pretty much had the whole beach to myself most of the time. The so calm, peaceful, pool-like shallow waters were incredibly beautiful and entertaining. The hosts were amazing. Rhonda, Marlon, and Leigh-Ann - they all were very friendly, supportive, caring, and attentive. Location was extremely safe ( the whole area was generally super safe for me). Castara Inn has a lovely yard filled with Mango trees. Delicious, authentic, organic mangoes. I picked a few lush, juicy, fresh Mangoes every day, and they were delectable! I'm grateful for everything..!!

Nothing was dislikable. I loved everything at Castara Inn!!

The appartement was perfect for me. It was very comfortable, clean, neat and had everything I needed. The view from the garden down to the sea is astonishing. When I openened my door, I could hear the waves and the birds singing. Sitting on a bench in the garden and enjoying this surrounding with a coffee in my hand, was just like a dream. The location is great, it is a 5-10 mins to the center of Castara and the beach. Rhonda and Andrew were always very helpfull and pro-active. Even a late check-in worked out perfect, as I was running late after my arrival to Tobago. I would definately recommed this place to solo travellers as well as couples. The area is so beautiful. It was very lively in the evening at a café at the town center and there is a nice restaurant up on the hill, on the way to the center, where you can enjoy great food or just a sundowner. I ll be back for sure.

This was our first time visiting Tobago, and we were so pleased we chose castara Inn. The apartment was absolutely beautiful it had everything thing you needed and was spotlessly clean. From the balcony in the evening, watching the sunset was spectacular. And waking up in the mornings, hearing the sound of waves and all the birds around was delightful. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Rhonda, but she was a great help to us before we even arrived in Tobago. Marlon was there to meet us on our arrival he was an excellent host, and we could not have wished for anyone better. It was definitely paradise, and we will be going back, we would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Tobago you will not be disappointed.

There was definitely nothing not to like

Our host was amazing! I had a million questions, and they answered all of them. We were missing our French press, and they brought one to the door. I’m convinced this is the best place in town to stay! The price point is good, and the location offers some privacy without compromising quality, location, or views. The unit we stayed in (one of the upper ones) had two bedrooms, was very modern with amazing kitchen appliances and had a balcony with a lovely view of the forest and ocean. There were beautiful sunsets. If you don’t mind hills, the property is a short 10 minute walk to town and the beach. It’s a 10 minute drive to two other even better beaches. There are also plenty of places to eat in town. The only downside is that there is no gas for an hour and the roads are curvy, so fill up beforehand. There was an atm, but it didn’t work for us for some reason. Several places take cards, but some don’t. Castara Retreat is a 5 minute walk. Their restaurant is so good (though pricey), and they offer daily yoga for 80TT.

Initially disappointed as our sea facing room faced the road. Apparently confusion over sea view description as can glimpse the sea from a side window. Rhonda kindly moved us to a much better room with large balcony overlooking the bay (unfortunately this room was only available for 6 of our 10 nights). For the better room would give 10 out of 10. Spacious, glorious view, fantastic bathroom and nice touches such as luxury towels and proper fridge freezer. Excellent Wi-Fi as a bonus. Loads of birds and wildlife.

The studio facing road was a bit cramped so had to live out of suitcases. Obviously lacked the great balcony and view of other room. For some reason seemed a lot noisier, could really hear people above and road noise especially as the gate to driveway seemed to be mostly open.

Breakfast was at a nearby restaurant which was ok. But there were multiple facilities nearby to have breakfast so that was ok if you want variation.The facility was very clean and spacious. We also ordered lobster dinner specially made for us and brought to our place. The food was delicious and i can highly recommend it. The location was beautiful and close to amenities. The host was available at all time and tended to our needs perfectly. I loved that you can park right in front of the facility. Oh and there was even a small black towel for the removal of your make-up. Very thoughtful.

Loved the place. Excellent location, walkable to the beach (Castara beach) and some restaurants as well as a store. Beautiful patio with fantastic views of palm trees and turquoise ocean. Studio is wonderful, very well-spaced, not over the top, but feels luxurious. Loved waking up to see the palm trees through the blue curtains. Staff very friendly. Rhonda (the host) very quick to respond via whatsapp. Another major plus is that Castara Inn is only a 10minute drive from the amazing Englishman's Bay beach. This beach is something else, even though it can have strong surf at times.

Kitchen counter space around the wall outlets was a bit tight, it was hard to have a coffee machine, toaster and/or mini stove plugged in at the same time. But we were able to work around it.

The property has amazing views, and is situated on a slight hill. There is a walkway that takes you down the back to a private beach. There is also a town with groceries, and food stops that are delicious, and a swimmable bay with lifeguards posted. The beach at the back is slightly steep and through a little forest area and stream, but with the right shoes like runners it’s easy. We did it with a 22month baby in a front carrier. Our toddler loved the beach as it is shallow and calm. We also loved the fruit trees on the property: Avocados, mangos, lemon, and lime trees. There is a stick left to help you pick the fruit. Our toddler enjoyed running through the rock/grass garden and playing with the numerous wind chimes. The Hosts were simply amazing, kind, and generous. They are available to help with any inquiries, and are always ready to offer a helping hand. We would happily return for another visit.
