Las Cuevas Beach Lodge

Good access to beach.

First if all they had no idea whT tgeyvwere doing, i was placed in a room with no bedsheets , toiletries etc. Then 20 mins later moved to another room which had bedheets, no towels, no running water at night, tv not working, misquitoes in abundance in the room. I paid for 3 nights stayed 1, they never returned rest of money. This is not a resort, i would call it last resort. I have travelled the world but this is the worst ever. What on the website puctures it's not what you get.

This place is the worst. Stay somewhere else. They jack up the price and you get a big surprise at check out was 5o% more then expected. They ran out of water as well. Total fiasco. The view was really nice, but that is the only thing going for them.

I have been travelling for many years and I am very grateful to say that I have never had the sorts of experiences we had at this Beach Lodge. We arrived in Trinidad and were taken to the first place we had booked at. It was very far from everything, so we asked the taxi driver if he knew of a place that was closer to a beach and more accessible. He called the proprietor at Las Cuevas. As far as the premises go, the location is wonderful. This is its selling point. The Las Cuevas beach is right there; it is very well and well maintained with beach chairs to rent. There are food and craft vendors on the weekends and some food available on other days as well. When the taxi driver, Steven, called we heard the conversation where the proprietor Travis said that the rooms start at US$80 a night and they had room so “come”. When we got there, the US$80 rooms were not available, but they had rooms at US$107 a night. We decided to take this and checked in for 2 nights. Breakfast was included. When we went to check out, we were told that actually the rooms we used were US$141 a night!!! We insisted that this was not what we were told. Travis was not on site but was on the phone, insisting that he had told us this. He was shouting and insisting and even threatening to call the police! He even made up a story that our taxi driver who took us there would not let us take out our luggage because we did not pay him!!! Finally, after a long time of arguing we decided to just pay the money and get out. As we were waiting for our taxi, the police actually did come – four of them - complete with machine guns and everything!!! The place itself needs some organization. The laundry room, usually open, has the laundry piled up on top of one of the machines. When we went to get cover sheets for our beds, the staff person just went to the pile and rummaged through to find sheets. She gave us towels then too, one with a hole in it! (I took another from the pile)! We asked for a menu several times but were never handed one. Breakfast was mediocre at best – just one option. (I later came across the ’menu’ in the office and found that there were a lot of options but were just not offered)!!! We understood that the place came under new ‘management’ towards the end of last year. If they want to succeed, they will need to do something about their customer services and general attitudes. This was the worse experience I have ever had. I would definitely consider other options when I go back to Trinidad. There are, thankfully, other Air B&Bs and places to stay close to that beautiful beach!

Budget room was disappointing. Supper was tasty. Breakfast, no choice so scrambled egg and toast. Upgrade yourself to a seaview view may improve your chances.

it is a good location very close by the beach and nice sea view the staff is accommodating and friendly but the place could be more clean and the restaurant and breakfast could be improved and upgraded

The beds in the room weren’t as advertised , choices on the menu were limited , very slow service , no service in the morning to get the breakfast that was part of the deal .

We loved our stay at the Las Cuevas Beach Lodge. Huge room with fantastic views, very friendly helpful staff and an amazing beach directly across the road. As long as you don’t expect five star facilities when only paying their very affordable rates, I think you would also enjoy staying here. Some of the facilities are basic but we were comfortable and enjoyed the bar/restaurant. I would highly recommend spending some time here.

The property was recently taken over by new management. Theyve done a lot in the short time place has great potential. Value for prices paid
