9-room Hotel / Inn
The Footprints Eco Resort is a 9-room eco project located on a 62-acre nature preserve at Culloden Bay, on Tobago's Caribbean coast. Sadly, this commendable project seems to have been beset by financial difficulties and it appears to be closed more than it is open. The last time we visited Footprints we walked around the property for 15 minutes and couldn't find a sole.

Discover for yourself why Footprints Eco Resort is a solution you can be comfortable with.
At Footprints we have two imperatives, preservation and protection of the environment and the comfort of our guests. You will find that these guide all aspects of our construction and operations. We have maximized the use of local and recycled building materials, and the use of renewable energy. The structures have been built on columns, and wooden walkways have been installed along the seafront minimizing earthworks and preventing silt runoff.
The 62 acre property, located a 45 minute drive from Crown Point on the island´s Caribbean coast, is designated a nature preserve, and is being extensively reforested with native species. We invite you to become involved by planting or adopting a tree during your stay with us. We will provide you with regular updates on the progress of your tree and any wildlife that may inhabit it, and hope that you will come back to visit it time and time again. There are numerous nature trails, suitable for hiking or bird watching. Additionally, we grow fresh organic herbs and vegetables on site to make us self sufficient in these items.
Our saltwater pools draw water directly from Culloden Bay. The use of seawater as opposed to fresh water helps to preserve our planet´s dwindling fresh water resource. It also ensures that the fish which live in the seaward pool are assured of an ideal environment, as in this pool the water is constantly refreshed and untreated. Culloden Reef itself offers excellent snorkeling just off the beach on one of Tobago´s most pristine reefs.
The Cocoa House Restaurant features a retracting thatch roof, reminiscent of Culloden´s history as a former sugar and cocoa estate, and creates a magical dining experience under the stars.
The buildings are unobtrusive, designed to enhance rather than overshadow the beauty of Caribbean blue waters and rolling green hills. The buildings all blend harmoniously with the ridge tops and valleys where they nestle, hiding surprisingly luxurious and comfortable interiors with inspirational views. All woods used in construction are locally grown in Trinidad and Tobago or native to the region, in addition, much of the teak is reclaimed from waste wood, and all of the wallaba is recycled. The roofs of the building are made from the leaves of the timit palm, a durable attractive covering that was the first material ever used for roofing in Trinidad and Tobago.
For all these reasons and more, we invite you to explore Footprints Eco Resort Tobago´s most unique vacation experience. Truly, a solution you can be comfortable with.

Footprints Eco Resort was exactly what we needed to feel instant relaxation! We were looking into taking a trip but something not too commercial or "big box" and our good friends recommended it to us. After hearing they stories and looking at their photos we decided to see it for ourselves. The flight from Toronto, On. Canada was only a few hours to Trinidad and a few more minutes (flight) to Tobago. The Footprints shuttle bus picked us up from the Airport and away from the city we drove! The drive was great, not too far from the city (if you do need to pick something up) and scenery just got better and better as we got closer to the resort. Very lush with greenery - large tress, colourful flowers and winding roads up a small mountain. This resort is an oasis for anyone looking for a private getaway as a couple (without all the glam/money grabbers) or a great place to "lime" with your close friends and family. The staff were very courteous and caring of our needs, food/drink were excellent and fresh and our room was very clean/comfortable. (There were different Villas or rooms you could book depending on what you required - kitchen/separate rooms and very cleverly constructed from recycled or re-used materials, ie. old telephone poles for beams)
We vividly remember feeling like we had already been there for a week on our first day - stress free and complete relaxation.
This is our new "home away from home".
