Having lived in Trinidad for a year now we have been accustomed to standard Trinidad service and food. Having said that, I can tell you that the family that runs this little inn does an above standard job. Our family of 5 found the accomodations typical of Trinidad countryside living. This place is remote and you will not get high... More

It´s turtle time again and we have just returned from a two day trip to Grande Riviere. Our usual hotel was booked out so we tried this place across the road but still right on the beach. Rooms are of okay standard and very clean. Ours we chose because it was large and roomy enough to cope with ourselves and... More

This hotel was located at the beach where the sea turtles come on land to engrave their eggs. The hotel itself was very dull, the rooms were small and the shower unappealing and unclean. The room was so small that we could barely move. The staff was a bit distance but correct. The beach is supposed to be beautiful unfortunately... More

We did not stay here but made a booking 3days earlier for our party of 15 turtle watchers to have dinner. We were told to report promptly at 7pm because they "had a few guests". We were on time - first to arrive. They hadn't prepared the table. We ordered. Others came (another 6 tables)and were served food before our... More

My husband and I have just returned from five nights at Le Grande Almandier (April 16-22). Wow----what a trip!!!! The hotel is a small, family owned property---owned by Cyril and his wonderful wife, Wendy James. Do not expect a five star property---only ten small rooms. You will be treated as royalty at this wonderful inn!!!! The entire place is spotless!!!!... More

We spent February 29, 2012 at this small quaint hotel on the beach in Grand Rivere, a small and "sleepy" fishing village. Very scenic drive from Toco. One of only two couples that evening. Excellent and personable service from CherryAnn and a fabulous and delicous dinner. Hot garlic wholewheat bread, real crab cakes, sublime pasta/prawns and salmon and to die... More

Le Grande Almandier is the best place to stay in Toco when you are into leatherback turtle watching. The hotel is right on the beach, clean and wonderful. The chef is the best!

This was an ideal spot to spend our first night in Trinidad after a long flight from the UK. The hotel is ideally located on the beach, although we were outside the turtle egg-laying season. The rooms are small, clean and comfortable but the highlight is the friendly staff who produce very good local dishes on demand throughout the day.... More

This is the first year we haven't been to Le Grande Almandier, since we have been living in Trinidad. We always take any visitors who come during the Leatherback turtle nesting season and as with first timers, the sight of tthese magnificent creatures is always breathtaking. Next Year we will be taking two sets of visitors. We also did go... More
