Guest Report

[Mike Milne]

We’d visited this traditional fishing village on ealier trips to Tobago and liked the laid back “non-hassle” style of the locals - and the fact that our dates coincided with owners Chris and Yvonne being there turned out to be an added bonus.

Their advice on which places were usually worth going to (and which to avoid) was very helpful - plus we thoroughly enjoyed their company on the occasions they invited us to join them upstairs for a drink or a meal or to watch the sunset.

Overall, although the accomodation is fairly basic, it’s certainly serviceable, and the American-sized fridge was particularly useful for keeping all our food and drinks cold and fresh. Clean sheets and towels are provided regularly by the lovely Doris and her husband Denzel (who is also a very efficient taxi driver) and the Wifi connection is much faster than we’d expected.

Sleepwise, we’d warn anyone who is a light sleeper to take a supply of earplugs as the local roosters tend to start the first round of their crowing contest around 4am! But the wonderful variety of tropical birds that will come and eat from the bamboo feeder trays hanging on each balcony is a joy.

We had a great time at Carpe Diem and look forward to staying there again.
