The room was very comfortable and the bathroom lovely too. Aircon and fan worked well. They have a generator
- imprtant as power was on only 3-6 hous a day when we were there.
The property is relaxed, with a lovely pool, and considering location, is busy with a lot of guests.
The area is quite poor, although not dangerous, and the port, although worth a look at the fishing boats, is defintely not an area to go out in for the evening. The location affords space and a pool, but means you have to take a taxi or transport to do anything. Ancon beach is great for lunch - Perla Negra beach bar recommended. We also loved La Boca, a small port 3-4 km west of Traindad, a 10 minute ride away. Very peaceful with 2 or 3 bars over looking the sea. The Aquarium bar at the end is best value. So peaceful and great food. Also half the prie of the dollar menu one closer to the centre.
As a personal thing, we didn't like the amount of smoking in the outside dining area at the hostal. This is not the hostal's fault, but the other guests seemed generally a bit younger and less considerate when we were eating.
The food was excellent by the way. Fresh lobster and fish. You'll eat so well in Trinidad.
