This low-priced hotel is on Trinidad's remote and beautiful northeast coast. The area is a popular weekend escape for locals who go to experience the lush rain-forest backdrop and expansive beach. Rooms here are cozy, and each is decorated in a different theme. Some rooms are air-conditioned (a rarity for a hotel on this part of the island), but cool ocean breezes are usually quite adequate. The restaurant here serves extraordinary creole dishes featuring seafood caught just off the premises. The nearest shopping or nightlife is a two-hour drive away, so this is strictly a place for those seeking peace, quiet, and good home-style food. Pros: right on the beach; great for turtle-watching in season; small with a friendly-family vibe. Cons: the northeast coast is at least two hours from the capital; limited shopping and dining options; car is definitely required for any exploring.
