“Comfortable, Compact, Efficient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 March 2011

people found this review helpful

From the first step into the open plan lobby with its panoramic view to the comfortable room this little hotel has a feeling of home. The buffet breakfast deserves mention both in terms of daily variety and on time service. Hats off to kitchen staff who must start very early everyday to serve their mainly business clientele promptly at 6am. A little more variety of local fruits would make the day just perfect. The room was clean and quiet, with a handy fridge and microwave, and tranquil sea vistas to help unwind after driving all day on the busy Trinidad roads.

Courteous staff were always helpful with a ready smile, and the small details such as fresh apples everyday in the lobby for a healthy snack were much appreciated. Cara Suites is definitely a place to go back to, it didn't disappoint!

The only downside was the open walkway and the acrid smell where smokers congregated, and guests had to navigate past to get back to their rooms. Send the smokers out to the carpark.

“Best on the Middle West”

Great relaxing place to stay after a long day and/or night of work. Located between the San Fernando refinery and the Pt. Lisas process plants, Cara Suites has amenities and a very helpful staff. The lobby bar overlooks the Gulf of Paria and has a great atmosphere. The rooms are large and the beds comfortable.

“My wife wants me to take her back!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010

The hotel is increasing room #s. From the looks of it it will be grand, landscaping is in place. It provides a wonderful view of the gulf of paria, some local history in derelict boats combine well (to me at least) with the sea and sunset).
Dinner & breakfast tastes great staff wonderfully trinbagonian.

“‘Ideal for the female professional’”

As a female business traveler who spends the majority of the month staying in hotels throughout the Region and Central America, I highly recommend if you are visiting South Trinidad to stay at Cara Suites.
I was pleasantly surprised when I checked into my room, to find that it was on par with other International Hotel Accommodation I have stayed in. Breakfast was complimentary and offered a varied range of both International and Local cuisine. The bar was comfortable and relaxing with a great view of the ocean and offered a very good bar snacks menu.
The staffs were friendly, unobtrusive and certainly made me feel welcome. The service, no complaints. I didn’t have time to try the pool but hope to on my next visit.
