Cozy Room Experience

“I stayed in the Blue Marlin Apartment for 8 nights and absolutely fell in love with the spacious yet cozy design. The bedroom featured both a queen-sized bed and a single bed, perfect for a family getaway. I woke up to the soothing sounds of the waves crashing just below and it was a delight to relax on the expansive terrace, where we had a perfect view of the fishermen and sunset.” view full review

Luxurious Bathing

“The bathroom in our apartment was a hidden gem, complete with a jacuzzi! After a day of snorkeling and exploring, soaking in the jacuzzi felt like pure bliss. It was truly a wonderful way to unwind and relax amidst the beautiful surroundings.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

“Every morning, we enjoyed a good buffet breakfast that was included in our stay. It offered a fantastic variety, from local delicacies to international dishes. One morning, we even had fresh fish that Ancle had caught the night before, making it an authentic Caribbean experience that we looked forward to daily.” view full review

Well-Equipped Kitchenette

“Our room had a well-equipped kitchenette that proved invaluable one rainy evening when all the restaurants were closed. It provided us the flexibility to prepare a meal and enjoy some quality family time without having to venture out. The convenience of having such modern amenities made our stay all the more enjoyable.” view full review

I had an amazing stay at this hotel located right on the beach in Castara. The rooms were cozy and filled with character, and I loved the local breakfast served each morning. The staff made the whole experience memorable with their helpfulness and cheerful demeanor. The only downside was that while the amenities were decent, I wished there was more variety in the dining options especially for lunch and dinner, as they only served breakfast.

The resort offers lovely amenities like a garden area full of hummingbird feeders, adding to the unique stay. However, the karaoke nights could be a bit much if you prefer quiet evenings.

Naturalist Beach Resort is a slice of paradise right on Castara Bay. The cozy and clean apartments offer stunning views and a lovely terrace, but the dining experience could benefit from a bit more variety. The staff, especially Ancle, are incredibly attentive, making you feel right at home. Overall, it's a fantastic value for the ample amenities provided, but don't expect a bustling nightlife directly at the hotel.

The Naturalist Hotel in Castara is a gem! It's right on the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and sea. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the staff, especially Mr. George, goes out of their way to make you feel at home. Although the dining options could be a bit more varied for breakfast, the overall atmosphere is peaceful and inviting. I can't wait to return next month!
