Out from the seedy airport area and expensive tourist hotels in the SW of the island are small fishing villages dotted around the coast. Castara is on the Caribbean about half way up the west side & perfect for talking part in real village life. Not so many tourists venture up here but it's a wonderful taste of what the... More

Castara is a great place to stay in Tobago. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Carpe Diem.

Yvonne and Chris were perfect hosts, very welcoming and were always happy to answer our questions about local restaurants and places to... More

Just got back to cold, wet, grey UK - a whole world away from Carpe Diem. What a great place, everyone so friendly; Chris & Yvonne were great hosts, always on hand if you wanted them and BBQ on their deck watching the sun go down. I can only echo what everyone else says and will definitely be returning. I... More

Carpe Diem is right in the rainforest but only a minutes walk away from the beaches and restaurants in Castara . Fantastic sights and sounds , good food , fantastic views... More

Just back up from the road, you are already in the rain forest, with all the bird life benefits that brings - the whole spectrum will come to the feeders just feet away, including fruit bats, and the seascape and sunset complete the panorama from the balcony, yet the beach itself is very close. We didn't spend much time here... More
