This was our second time at the Kapok. The rooms are large and clean; the beds are very comfortable; the location is ideal; and the food at Tiki Village and Bois Cano is good and reasonably priced. The decor may not be everyone's taste, yet it is not meant to be 80's kitsch, but rather reflective of the ancestry of... more

We stayed here from February 1 to February 6 during Carnival. The prices were exorbitant, but everywhere in Trinidad does that during Carnival. Check In; Check in was a breeze and the desk staff was friendly. Rooms: The rooms were small and basic, but they seemed clean. There were no issues. Dining: The restaurant on the top floor of the... more

The rooms were very basic but clean and comfortable. The hotel offers two restaurants which were very good. They even have a wine and jazz night. The hotel is in a good location. I would stay here again. more

It is about three years since I have been in PofS and last time I stayed at the Hilton. At that time the Kapok was the other recommended hotel so this time I thought I would give it a go, what a mistake! Things did not start well when I was given a smoking room. Normally I can tolerate this... more

I stayed at the Kapok on weekends whilst working in nearby Grenada following Hurricane Ivan. It was basically an R & R destination where we simply rested. The Hotel itself is old and rooms very dated. The restaurant and bar are good and staff very accommodating. The pool was good and its not far from town centre although I only... more

The Kapok Hotel is large hotel located in the St. Clair area of Port of Spain. It is 10 minutes from downtown and about thirty minutes from the airport. The area of the hotel is very nice. It reminds me a bit of Southern California with upper class strip malls etc. It is right next to Queen's Park Savanna. The... more

I had to go to Port of Spain for a project this month. My client recommended Kapok due to their negotiated rate. Kapok is a Golden Tulip member hotel. I was easily able to get a cab from the airport for $25. The first appearance was of an older 8 story hotel with a polynesian design located on a busy... more

My husband and I stayed at Kapok Hotel during April 10-13, 2007 inclusive. The room was okay, but for the price you pay you sort of expected more. However, the staff at all levels were very pleasant and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The pool was okay and quite relaxing. The food and the view at the Tikki... more

Just stayed at the Kapok for a 5 day business trip, it's ok but at about £100 per night in my opinion over priced. The rooms are basic but clean, pool and gym poor, internet access good but expensive, food, location ok, some staff really friendly and helpful while others not so so basically an acceptable but pricey business hotel,... more

Kapok is an older hotel, but pretty well maintained (much better maintained than the Crowne Plaza, similar quality to Hilton). It's a nice location, short walking distance to Queen's Park Savannah, a decent shopping center (bank, bookshop, pharmacy, fast food), and the colonial mansions. Excellent restaurants within 15-20 minute walk (Apsara Indian, Tamnak Thai, and Battimamzelle - some of the... more
