How to Find Cheap Hotels in Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago comprise one Caribbean island nation consisting of two separate islands. Located off the coast of Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago has the world's largest natural reservoir of asphalt. With lush landscapes and a tropical climate, the islands are a popular destination for travelers seeking a tropical adventure.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Passport
• Visa (only if you'll be staying for more than 90 days)

Find Cheap Accommodations in Trinidad and Tobago

1. Enjoy wildlife at a nature lodge. Located outside of the main cities, nature lodges are great places to stay to observe the local wildlife right from your room, and are a bargain compared to the hotels on the islands. There you will find comfortable accommodations in a peaceful setting with a comparatively cheap price tag.
2. Stay on Tobago. Hotels and villas on Tobago are generally cheaper than on bustling Trinidad. While it is unlikely you will find truly cheap accommodations anywhere in the country (even the locals charge more than you would expect for a private room), a hotel on Tobago will at least not break the bank.

Navigate Trinidad and Tobago

3. Take a cab for travel within cities. Cabs are plentiful and can save you a lot of time if you are traveling within a single town.
4. Ride the bus for long-distance travel. If you are going from one city to another, taking a bus is your best bet.

Explore Trinidad and Tobago

5. Take a hike along a nature trail. Not only is this great exercise in a picturesque environment, but you have an opportunity to get up-close with the native wildlife on these extensive trails.
6. Try your hand at bird watching. There is a huge variety of tropical birds that call Trinidad and Tobago home, and the bird watching industry is thriving there. Lots of guided tours of the islands include bird watching as a primary activity.

Tips & Warnings

• Know your islands. Trinidad is the larger of the two islands, and a very crowded, cosmopolitan place with big cities and lots of activity. Tobago is much smaller and largely undeveloped, with a slower, more laid-back atmosphere.
• Let someone else drive. Driving in Trinidad and Tobago is on the left side of the road, like in the United Kingdom. If you are not used to driving this way, it is best not to rent a car.
• Keep indoors after dark, particularly on Trinidad. Some areas of this island have become unsafe at night. This is not so much of a concern on Tobago.
