    The only thing that I would have liked is if our room had been cleaned one more time during our trip. We stayed for 10 days and our room was cleaned on day 3 and then not again. When we thought it would get cleaned again fell on a weekend so maybe that is why it didn't. Other than that one little thing our stay was fabulous.

    We stayed in Treetops. The room and the view surpassed our expectations. Porridge and Jeanell were very helpful whenever we had questions. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

    The location is stunning. If you don't like typical all inclusive resorts and want to get closer to the life of the locals and the natural beauty of Tobago this is wonderful place.

    There wasn't anything not to like!

    Castara Retreats was the most amazing place. Our views from the Coasthanger were spectacular. We loved every moment of our stay and it ticked all the boxes we look for in a holiday. We would return in a heart beat. Thank you Porridge, Jeanell, and your team for the most wonderful time! We will not hesitate to recommend Castara Retreats to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday.

    Restaurant staff could have been a little more considerate. They are very laid back and lovely but other guests could easily be offended by their approach. Happy to advise Jeanell and Porridge regarding this. Also, there was no hot (warm) water the last two days. Not a big deal for us given that we only wanted to cool off and clean after very hot days. I wanted to flag this up because another guest could well have complained about it.

    Jeanell and Porrige are lovely, very helpful and supportive hosts that are on hand for anything you need advise or support on. Treetops was an exceptional flat to stay in. Clean, beautifully designed with a minimalistic design yet comfortable, cosy and romantic. The flat had everything we could have hoped for and the location gave us an insight into true Tobago life and culture.

    I had some trouble getting hold of the staff on the first day to ask about snorkels, activities etc. When I found them the next day, they were great.

    The location was amazing. The beach is just below. I swam with the manta rays and went snorkelling from the beach. I would definitely recommend renting snorkelling equipment from Castara Retreats and going snorkelling in the bay. I also booked a rainforest tour and went on an amazing trip into the rain forest, which is relatively close to Castara retreats.

    I didn't like that the person I was communicating with through booking did not communicate with the staff on location. Apparently the person communicating with bookings isn't even on the island but in England. The staff on location was not notified that we were vegan with severe allergies and we were served food with dairy both with prepped food and food at the restaurant.

    We wanted more authentic dishes in the Caribbean kitchen but we were able to experience this in the village.

    Well organized and thoroughly thoughtful. The ladies think about your every comfort. My daughter loved the hammock. We also enjoyed the collection of books provided. Castara retreats gave me the reset I needed. Special thanks to Janelle and Porridge for taking good care of us.

    A nice and peaceful accommodation in the middle of tropical garden and with great staff. The resort is in a walking distance from village center of Castara, where you can have local breakfast and lunch. In the restaurant of the resort you can have dinner with fantastic view to Caribbian sun set and in the restaurant you can see also hummingbirds. Castara beach, you have to see it as well as the small waterfall near by. Special thanx to Porridge and Jeanell, who were able to help us with everything.

    Gorgeous views. Porridge and Jeanell were fantastic hosts - rest assured that you will be well looked after. The location is about an hour from Crown Point and feels a bit remote, but it's very eco and lush, and right on the beach, and the village is very safe. Local shops were better than expected. Fresh fish caught in Castara same day. One cafe serving espresso/cappuccino. Several stalls/shops serving local food. The restaurant at Castara Retreats kindly worked with us to provide gluten free meals - much appreciated. Enjoyed the nightly cocktails at the restaurant, especially the Rum Punch (secret recipe) and the non-alcoholic mango smoothies.

    A steep hill to climb to retreat but only 10 minutes. We travelled in wet season so not a lot of choice for eating out.Shops and restaurants open Adhoc.Restaurant in Retreat opens every evening but is a little pricey.

    Beautiful fishing village with lovely beach and friendly locals.If you want authentic Caribbean then this is it.Fresh fish and bread oven on the beach.No all inclusive resorts for miles.Backs onto rainforest with abundance of wildlife all around you.Excellent snorkelling and swimming,Lots of beautiful beautiful beaches close by.
