We were lucky enough to book the nature walk and lunch at Cuffee River Nature Retreat, what a delight, from our arrival to our departure the atmosphere was nothing but a treat. Delightful hosts, the best food we found on Tobago and such a peaceful location, we had to drag ourselves away. A very special place. The nature walk lasted... More

What's extraordinary about Cuffie River is how different it is from the tourist world -- not only because of its immersion in nature, its amazing diversity of bird life, and its deliciously prepared local food, but also because of the loving care that Regina provides. Cuffie River is removed, 2.5 miles down a bouncy driveway and 30 mins from Scarborough;... More

My spouse and I set out to stay here b/c we were told that a species of humming-bird known as the white-tailed sabre wing was coming to the feeders here. We had attempted to see and photograph this bird earlier this year in Tobago unsuccessfully. During the first 15 mins of our arrival that very early morning we saw the... More

We spent 3 days at Cuffie River in October of this year and while the resort is modern (yet rustic) we found the food to be over-priced and with no WIFI or TV in the room, we wondered what we were paying $240 US a night for. We were the only guests yet the "award-winning" guide on staff would have... More

This was the perfect antidote to the traffic, heat and noise of Trinidad! Admittedly it was especially quiet as we were the only guests (this being the rainy season) but I don't imagine that it gets noisy (apart from the parrots and chachalacas) at any time. If you want to relax, eat good food and 'commune with nature' this is... More

Spent just one night as we wanted to get away from the beach believe it or not -this retreat is an amazing work of art in the jungle hills - great for nature walks and birding not to mention sleeping in. Terrific pool looking out over the rainforest. Food is excellent but a bit pricey so ask ahead of time.... More

The sound of bird and wildlife echo around the valley morn and night. Just you and the birds (& Regina & the staff at Cuffie River of course). A fantastic place to recharge the batteries and a beautiful pool to cool off in the heat of the day. The meals are fantastic - loosen your belts. Thoroughly recommend a stay... More

This place is absolutely amazing. Well managed, beautifully maintained and lovingly looked after by the manager, Regina, who set it up decades ago in honour of her father, who owned it and who passed away when she was a baby. Wonderful food (home made!) and exquisite location, in a very tranquil place. Good bird guide available, spacious rooms and plenty... More

what a fabulous find....a comfortable stress free environment with an excellent raised pool, perfect for lazing and watching parrots fly overhead and motmots in nearby trees. The place is clean, excellent food and helpful staff. It`s not for all inclusive, need entertainment types and certainly not for teens, just bring those books you were always going to read, hideaway in... More
