Independent, Trinidad Hotels

Good locartion close to airport, with shuttle service.

We had a great comfortable stay at the Carlton. The room was very clean and and pictures are accurate. The pool was in very poor condition, did not even go in. The bars were closed. The location is great. Beware of hotel taxi service, they will charge you tripple what you would normally pay for transport.

Good for the one night I needed. I check-in at 11 p.m. and checked-out at 7:30 a.m. to catch a flight back home. Great that it is just minutes away from the airport and has a free shuttle service. The hotel appeared to be very quite and empty. I requested a wake up call but also set my phone for 10 minutes after as a back up option, glad I did because I didn't get the call. Well they said when I was checking out they did try calling me and perhaps they did when I was in the shower. I didn't have any food there so I can't comment...they said they offer breakfast, when I went in it was empty not one person was there. I didn't feel like I had time to sit down and order so I skipped it.

We used to live in Trinidad and knew of this hotel. (Our family had previously visited and stayed there and loved it.) The situation is excellent in St. Clair, close to the Queen's Park Savannah, Prime Minister's residence, and with a small smart shopping plaza along the road. The staff were extremely efficient and friendly. Very good buffet breakfast, an excellent Cafe/Bar for supper, or a top floor restaurant, which is popular on Sundays. The hotel is mainly used by business people, which means that the pool is virtually unused during the day. We arrange car hire through Reception; a taxi office was situated in the car park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Kapok to others. Enjoy!.

Centrally located to major forms of transportation. Access to all waterway ports was valuable and to local merchants, banks, and eateries. The Tobago and San Fernando ferries are all in walking distance... Hospitality was excellent and would definitely consider staying there again.

Very clean and modern motel. Friendly helpful staff , very good food and nightly specials. Friendly bar staff. Close to facilities at point lisas

I was disappointed on the most part, since I heard good things about the hotel. 1) It was run down, needs upgrading. 2) I was travelling with my husband and son and booked a room with two double beds. The hotel was overbooked, so we got a room with a 'king sized' bed. The king sized bed turned out to be a double bed. We requested a cot which we never got. needless to say, the boys slept and I didn't. Also, the patio door didn't lock, so we felt uncomfortable leaving our valuables. The safe didn't work either. 3) The surroundings are beautiful. We put the bad room experience aside and stayed outdoors most of the time. The pool was perfect height to let my 5yr old play in it by himself. My husband and I relaxed by the pool bar. 4) The hotel is in a great place to visit the beaches in the north coast and as a base to go turtle watching. 5) Food was good and service at the restaurant was also good. I may stay again, only because of its location...away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

My stay was absolutely awesome. I was well taken care of by reservation staff. I had a wonderful stay. The food was absolutely excellent. The only issue I had was that I thought the restaurant staff could have been a little more professional and the gate security were somewhat less than professional in screening me when I initially arrived at the hotel, assuming that I was a chauffer or service person. Other than that the stay was excellent.
