C & K Apartments

Friendly, great location close to everything and a dream host! I love this self contained apartments upstairs from Marvins bar. It is private, clean and close to everything. At the same time you can be a part of the village life as soon as you step out on the balcony. We love it here and have staayef here over 10 times over the years.

These apartments are located right in the centre of Castara, the absolute gem of Tobago! I have been visiting the island for almost 13 years, having stayed in several locations, but the one that I now always return to for my stay, is Castara - more specifically, C&K Apartments. These self contained studio apartments have all you need for your stay - a super king size bed, en-suite shower, TV with wifi connections for apps such as Netflix, a kitchenette (cooker/stove/microwave/large fridge) and a shared balcony with the other apartment next door, looking down to the beach with amazing views of the sunset! Being located on the bay road that leads to the beach, you get to observe the daily life of the village going past each day. Marvins has been a wonderful host and become a great friend over the years. There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to ensure his guests have the best experience whilst staying with him! The bar downstairs is usually a relaxed atmosphere, with the occasional football match being shown on the TV. Some weeks a karaoke night will be scheduled- this is always a fun evening and doesn’t disturb you if you choose to remain upstairs! The village also hosts a bonfire night on the big beach each Thursday, an African drumming evening on the little beach each Wednesday and a steel pan and BBQ at Chino’s cafe on a Sunday. Recently Marvin has started to encourage hummingbirds to the bar downstairs and the upstairs balcony with sugar water feeders, and they will spend all day back and forth between the two. Marvin also has the sweetest dog who may adopt you for your stay! She is great company to the beach or the nearby waterfall (my favourite spot in the village) which is about 10-15 minutes walk along the river. The beach is but a 30 second stroll away, as well as the grocery store, beach bar and local restaurants that serve daily. If you are looking for an authentic Caribbean experience, Castara is the best place to become fully immersed in the local culture. This warm, welcoming and vibrant little fishing village will hopefully steal your heart just as much as it has mine and many other returning visitors ☺️

deshalb habe ich für Ende dieses Jahr gleich wieder reserviert! Erstens (da ich allein reisend war): Die Lage ist perfekt, der Strand, der Supermarkt, die Bank, die Bushaltestelle sowie Bars und Restaurants sind in wenigen Schritten erreichbar. Außerdem habe ich mich von Anfang an sicher gefühlt. Zweitens (da ich von dort auch gearbeitet habe): Marvin ist ein wunderbarer hilfsbereiter Gastgeber! Er stand mir bereits vor und auch während meines Aufenthalts jeder Zeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite, war immer erreichbar und hat meine Fragen sofort beantwortet. Dank der guten Internetverbindung konnte ich ohne Probleme online arbeiten. Drittens: Die Zimmer sind sauber und mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet (bis hin zu Bügelbrett und Bügeleisen ;-). Das Bett ist groß und sehr bequem, von der Terrasse aus hat man einen tollen Ausblick und es war toll, die vielen Kolibris täglich zu beobachten. Viertens: In der Bar konnte ich viele Freundschaften schließen und sehr entspannte Abende verbringen. Fünftens: Ich freue mich jetzt schon aufs nächste Mal, Danke dir Marvin!
