This is a beautiful colonial-style property. It is fully-equipped and we spent a wonderful, peaceful time here.
This place is ideal for romantic getaways or socially-distanced vacations. We came while COVID-19 rtestrictions were pretty strict on the island. However, we didn't have to deal with the outside world. Surrounded by greenery and absolute peace, it was exactly what we needed after months of lockdown.
The view from the pool is amazing, and opens up into green hills with Englishman's Bay just below.
Do note that this is a remote "jungle retreat". There is no grocery within walking distance, and the village nearby only has a couple of places where you can buy food. So make sure you pick up what you need in Scarborough or the Lowlands area. Also, do not bring a sedan. The property itself is up a hill, and the final stretch of the road was not paved. It was also rainy season, and it was a fairly difficult drive when it was raining, even though we had an SUV.
Once you are up there, there is no need to leave. Just make sure you don't accidentally end up hauling your stuff up the hill.
The local property manager, Jason, lives on the nearby village and was very warm and very helpful. He showed us the property, offered to pick up extra groceries, and checked on us to make sure we lacked for nothing. He also helped me locate nearby sights and pointed out which services were available at Castara Village.
