Summary: Carpe Diem is a wonderful place that provides serenity, calmness and beautiful views of Castara Beach meeting all your basic needs. Yvonne and Chris are wonderful people and the most responsive hosts we have met. They aim to please and have thought about almost everything you might need. It would have been nice and more enjoyable had the apartment had a microwave, paper towels and some wine glasses.The hummingbirds feeding right outside our apartment were delightful.There is no AC and for us that became an issue especially after the short but steep climb back from Castara beach !Panday their friend and gardener picked us up at the airport after a red eye , took us back to the airport and we hired him to drive us to Englishmen’s Bay. He is a gem and full of knowledge.We enjoyed Carpe Diem and the village of Castara and we recommend it !We enjoyed our time there!

Summary: A paerfectly equiped flat with a great view of the sea and lots of trees. flowers and birds around. The owners were very welcoming d and are prodigal of informations about the place, the people and the way the every day life goes on, so you feel able to integrate in a way you don't normally encounter when you are on vacation on your own in a foreign place.

Summary: This place is the perfect holiday getaway. The apartment was clean and the view was even better than pictured. The caretaker to great care of us indeed, with good communication and some recommendations as well. A short walk to all the essentials of town and the beaches.

Summary: If you're looking for an all-inclusive, luxury, resort-style vacation get away, Carpe Diem studio is NOT for you. If you're looking for wild, all-night parties and clubs then the entire small, sweet town of Castara is not for you. If a few mosquitoes could ruin your vacation, keep looking. You could find an air-conditioned place, near night clubs in Crown Point, or just stay in Trinidad or go to Florida. (Also, if you have a difficult time walking on stairs, you might want to find a different studio.) However, Carpe Diem in Castara was exactly what my companion and I were looking for. The studio is clean, airy and comfortable. The town is laid back, friendly and not overrun with fellow tourists. The deck is at the canopy level of luscious jungly forest that tweets and rattles all day long with vividly colored birds. Just beyond the tree line is a breathtaking, spectacular view of the sea. Sunsets are heavenly. It's a five minute walk to a little beach with excellent snorkeling. We were there towards the end of "tourist season" and we hardly saw anyone else. It's a 10 minute walk to the larger beach, where you will find a few more tourists during the day, as well as a grocery store, open-air restaurant and beach bar, and the local fishermen coming and going. It's a 15 – 20 minute walk to a beautiful waterfall and a cool, fresh-water pool. The groundskeeper Panday, and caretaker Carolyn were wonderfully friendly and helpful. They made sure we had everything we needed, gave us good recommendations and arranged transportation to and from the airport and ferry. (Panday even picked us a big bowl of fresh mangoes.) We loved every minute of our vacation here, even the rainy ones.

Summary: We enjoyed our time in Castara and Chris and Yvonne were helpful and considerate hosts. The room was nicely outfitted with all the necessities including 2 much appreciated fans (AC is not on the menu and we booked knowing and not wanting it). Castara is a charming small town and we enjoyed meals at most of the usual spots. The hosts provide tons of useful information in a guide in the room. We used Castara as our base to poke around the island and we hiked in the park, went to beautiful Englishman’s Bay, went on a snorkeling trip from Speyside including a stop in Little Tobago. Like others have noted, issues with the bank machine in town continue and it is not well stocked with cash. Chris and Yvonne were working to get it resolved, but I suggest to bring the cash (TT or USD) you will need. Head to Castara and enjoy the beach, the food and life in the slow lane. And grab some fresh baked goodies at the beach (put your order in the morning for afternoon pick up).

Summary: Chris and Yvonne gave us a warm welcome and were so helpful in connecting us with local guides and steering us to the best places in Castara and beyond. The flat is a comfortable self-catering space with a really good bed and the balcony is joyous with wonderful exotic birds coming to the feeders right in front of you. The view through the lush tropical greenery to the sea below outstanding. We had a very special trip and will certainly be returning.

Summary: Excellent well equipped accommodation with a comfy bed and lovely views from it! Good cooker with oven meant we enjoyed a change from the local restaurant staples which were of a very good standard if a little of the sameness. Chris and Yvonne were genial and helpful hosts who involve themselves in village life and impart lots of info. Boat fishing is good.
