Leatherback Lodge Eco B&B
#70 Upper Rio Grande Trace, matura, Salybia, Trinidad and Tobago – Great location - show map
Nella and Neville are the most welcoming and kind hosts you can imagine. We really enjoyed chatting to them, they are such interesting people. We had a wonderful stay in their lovely guesthouse. It is so comfortable and surrounded by nature. We enjoyed watching the birds from the terrace, walking in the local area, and we had a great trip in the Nariva swamp. Nella made us the most delicious vegetarian meals and breakfasts were great too. Thanks N&N and all good wishes for the future!
