Stayed over night to see the turtles and from that aspect was not disappointed. The cottages, of which our party had 5, were rustic and simple. The one we stayed in had a sleeping loft so slept 4 but seemed to be the smallest cabin! All the others had what were described as pull out sofas but apparently didn't pull... More

Acajou proved to be the most disappointing part of our trip to Grande Riviere. The staff was most unfriendly. We ordered Basmati rice with king fish and received normal parboiled rice and fish that was undercooked/raw and smelt fresh. The staff obviously are not trained well. The property is not on the beach front. Access to the beach is through... More

Acajou has potential but greatly lacks in customer service and ambiance. The hired staff are local Trinidadians who are clearly not trained in proper customer service. The food prepared for me and my company was undercooked and OVERPRICED. The path leading to the beach is poorly maintained, and upon reaching the beach, you are greeted with the scent of fish...

We considered three properties in Grande Riviere, and are glad we chose Acajou. The setting is similar to eco-lodges we have enjoyed in Costa Rica and Ecuador. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with tropical flowers, and are teaming with birds. Our cabin was comfortable and clean, and had a simple luxury to it. The Acajou restaurant was fine, but did... More

This is the first time we were at an eco resort. Hotel is very lovely, the best in the area, with about 5 cottages which have amazing views (ocean, river and forest). Management is very helpful in accomodating any request and we felt at ease. We came in a low season, so there were no turtles, but a lot of... More

Acajou is one of the best hotels I've stayed at - ever. The cottages are tasteful and cozy, the grounds are beautiful and the staff is first-rate. My wife and I were there with our 3 kids (aged 11, 12 and 18) for 5 days and we had the time of our lives. The hotel is private while intimately embedded... More

I spent a lot of time reviewing places in Toco before choosing Acajou. I was not disappointed at all. The rooms were beautiful and opened onto a breathtaking view of the river and ocean. The wooden decor, green surroundings and canopy bed made me feel like I was in an exotic movie. One might imagine that in Trinidad we are... More

Acajou Hotel is located in the picturesque north east coast of Trinidad. It is well off the beaten track and getting there can be quite an adventure in poorly paved roads. But it adds to feeling of being away from it all. On arriving at the destination one is greeted by some unfinished building work close to the reception. There... More

Stayed at the Acajou hotel when we had been in Trinidad. The hotel has a nice wooden décor and is situated in a place of solitude with lots of lush green surroundings and a beautiful long water body. From the room you can watch these beautiful scenes. There is a nice portico in your room where you can sit on... More
