Guest Report

[Mike Northcott]

9 of us stayed in the top two apartments and one of the lower apartments all of which were well furnished and equipped. The views in the morning of the hills the sea and the assortment of birds feeding were fantatstic. We had Bananquits/sugar birds, Blue/grey tanagers, green tanagers, Ant Shrikes, Shakalackas, and humming birds every day plus others we could not identify.

It was cool and relaxing to sit and eat breakfast or any meal on the verandha or dare I say to just lime with a beer or two or a rum.

One word of "warning", we were all fit and healthy but any visitor comtemplating this accomodation needs to be aware that the climb from ground level is not one for anyone who has mobility problems or is overweight or just plain elderly may find it a struggle. Indeed Castara is to be enjoyed at the Tobago pace, take it easy as there are hills to contend with to get anywhere. However it is a very relaxing, beautiful place where we were warmly welcomed by the locals, especially in the boathouse and Bruce Taylor who helped us with a few queries.
