Dear visitor,

I have given a holiday as present to my mother together with my wife and 1 yr old son. They all really enjoyed their stay. My mother was completely amazed by the vieuws from the beautifull appartment rainforrest. We stayed at the rainforrest appartment and we enjoyed every second of our stay. We have done a BBQ and boat trip with Steve&fam. and we had a lot of fun. in case you visit C.T make sure you book some BBQ or boat trip with these guys because they really make you experience the hidden pearls of TOBAGO. We have also rented a car which we rented from Porridge he gave us a good deal!!

I have been travelling to many places around the world but this is my absolute number one here in the caribean.

We definitely plan to go back to Castara Retreat.

Thank you guys for the wonderfull time.

Aristo and fam.

We had the most terrific week at Castara Retreats in mid-November 2011, still a very quiet time on the island. The holiday was exactly what we had hoped for – beautiful scenery, easy access to buses for exploring the island (we don’t generally sign up for more ‘organised’ sightseeing), but most of all the fabulous balcony just to sit, read, relax and recover from a stressful time at work in London.

We thought the detailed information for clients was very thoughtful and well-written. I guess people approach Castara with very different expectations; for us, Hummingbird 1 and the knowledge that the local management team were in the background to offer support if needed were absolutely perfect.

We loved it!

Stayed for a week with my partner in Fisherman's and had a very "chilled" time. The space for two people was great and the views from each room and veranda spectacular! We saw so many beautiful birds just sitting on the there. I have never been to the Caribbean before and so glad to have chosen Castara rather than the more touristy and hotel areas on the South of Tobago, as we are not really "hotel people".

It was good to feel part of the local community and get a flavour of local life. Porridge and team were amazing, but not intrusive and have never been looked after so well. Hiring a car from Porridge was hassle free, and we loved the North of the Island especially Charlotteville where we had the best "Roti".We would have liked more time to explore Speyside and little Tobago.

We also had a great trip to the Rain Forest with Newton George and would recommend him as he is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the forest and especially the birds.

We would love to return for two weeks next time!!

Best family holiday we have had. We adored the amazing views from Rainforest apartment. It's open on three sides and like living in a tree house. The bedrooms lock, but otherwise the apartment stays open which takes a little getting used to but is actually part of getting close to nature!

We haven't been to the Caribbean before so seeing the rainforest, exotic birds, flowers, fruit and fish in their natural habitat was really exciting. At night the fire flies light up the trees in the distance. We had a power cut one night and they were so bright - as were the stars!

We had the warmest of welcomes from Porridge, and hiring a car from him was easy. In fact arranging anything with him was easy - from boat trips to getting a replacement toaster. It was great to meet Sue, Steve and Freya too.

Can't wait to go back.

We had the most amazing holiday in Castara. Birdsong was everything that you said it would be ...and more. The Felgates vision for the retreats and everything that they have put together there is wonderful. We really fell in love with everything about Castara and would love to return. Porridge, Jeanell, Sherwin and Daniel made the holiday truly memorable. The BBQs and the boat trips were especially good fun, but they all went out of their way to ensure that we had a great holiday.
