This, the first Benedictine Monastery in the English speaking Caribbean, can be accessed by means of the St. John's Road in St. Augustine, Trinidad. You can use your own vehicle or use one of the well kept minibuses provided by the monastery for your ease of transport. On your way up the meandering road you cannot help but notice you're... More

Difficult drive up, services are very early in the morning. However, it was a lovely experience in the church. Music was sparse and very different, so do not expect a particularly moving experience. Beggars in the parking lot. Surly staff in the gift shop. More

The "Mount" as is the customary local name given to the Monastery is as relaxing as can be just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You can also go for afternoon tea which is an awesome experience... simple yet exquisite. More

The drive to get there, first of all was amazing and enjoyable. The monastery itself was even more amazing! It was large and perfect to explore! More

For our 1st time here, we stayed for a mid-day hymn and prayer service but did not tour the grounds extensively as we were pressed for time. All previous reviews are correct, so this review will be to share a few photos of what it's like here. More

Refreshments can be purchased there and the... More

It's in a beautiful mountainside location and when you go up to it, it's so peaceful and the views are amazing. Would definitely recommend if anyone gets the opportunity to... More

Last year, I visited Mount St.Benedict. The ride up the mountain is picturesque. Once you get to the church, the views are spectacular. One could see the capital, Port-of-Spain, even as far as Central Trinidad which is many miles away. The environment is serene. The priests and other staff always welcome visitors of all denominations. Definitely go out there whether... More
