Accommodation in Trinidad and Tobago

Planning a trip to Trinidad and Tobago? You’ve got options, and plenty of them. Whether you’re heading to Port of Spain for Carnival or unwinding on Tobago’s quieter shores, your place to crash can really make or break your trip.

You’ll find everything here, from basic guesthouses in San Fernando to upscale hotels like the Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf Resort in Tobago. And let me tell you, some of the best stays are actually the smaller boutique guesthouses that give you that true island vibe , where you might chat with the owner over breakfast or get local recs you won’t find online. If you want to be close to the action during Carnival, Downtown Port of Spain or the Queen’s Park Savannah area are good bets, though expect hotel prices to spike then.

If you’re staying longer, renting an apartment or a self-catered villa can make sense. I’ve stayed in a cool spot near Maracas Bay where mornings felt like a private paradise, then I’d hit that beach shack for bake and shark when hungry. Tip: book accommodations early if you’re coming around Carnival or Christmas because places fill up fast and prices climb.

Got your eye on Tobago? Look at the quieter areas like Speyside or Charlotteville if you want to get away from crowds, but don’t shy from Crown Point for easy airport access and lively waterfront bars. Bottom line: Trinidad and Tobago’s accommodation scene is as diverse as the islands themselves , just pick what fits your vibe and budget, and you’ll be set.

Inside tips on staying local

If you want to feel like you really know the islands, try booking a stay in a local guesthouse rather than a big chain hotel. I had an amazing experience at a tiny place in Tobago’s Bon Accord, where the host’s homemade coconut bread was the best breakfast I had all trip. And talk about insider tips , I got the scoop on hidden waterfalls and where to find the freshest seafood straight from folks who live there.

Also, don’t underestimate the value of location. Staying near the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain gave me easy access to weekend fetes and local eats, but if you crave peace, head out to Maraval or even Chaguaramas for a greener, quieter vibe. Oh, and if you’re driving, check parking availability ahead,it’s surprisingly tricky in some places.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about where to stay? Here’s what most folks ask about lodging in Trinidad and Tobago.

That really depends on what you want. Trinidad is where the city buzz and big events happen, especially during Carnival, while Tobago is more laid-back with gorgeous beaches. I usually split time between both if I can.

Yeah, definitely. Near Piarco International Airport in Trinidad, you’ll find guesthouses and budget hotels in Arima or Trincity that won’t break the bank. In Tobago, Crown Point area has some budget options too.

It's not as pricey as you might think if you avoid the big resorts. On Tobago, tiny guesthouses in Englishman's Bay or Castara offer good deals right by the water. Just book early during high season.

Downtown can be lively after dark but also a bit sketchy in spots, especially if you’re not familiar. If you want city vibes, stick closer to the Savannah or good neighborhoods like St Clair for a safer stay.

Some boutique guesthouses and eco-lodges do offer home-cooked meals and cultural activities. For example, a few places in Tobago will include fishing trips or cooking lessons,just ask when you book.

If you’re coming for Carnival, book at least 3-4 months ahead. Places fill up fast and prices go way up closer to the event. I learned that the hard way more than once!
