“Tourist Trap - avoid it”

Carib Territory Guest House

Feb 22, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Very poorly run guesthouse - everything is falling apart, rooms in need of maintenance, furniture water damaged, everything was leaking in the bathroom. They should rent the rooms with a canoe to be able to use the bathrooms. Avoid to stay there. They charge US$60/night - which we were told is inclusive of all taxes. To our surprise, at the end of our stay, we were charged 10% Service Charge on accommodation, 10% VAT on accommodation and another 15% VAT on Service Charge......
We asked about all these taxes and the owner - Charles Williams - told us that these are taxes they have to charge even though he said that everything is included in the price when we booked. He told us he never said that. Since we were there on vacation, we left it there. There was no point into arguing about it. We were the only ones there and we realized too late that there must have been a reason for that. Too bad there were no other reviews of this place because we would have booked someplace else.

Best advice is not to go there. There are plenty of good accommodations on the island for the same price without the hidden fees. If you have to go there make sure you get the price in writing, otherwise you'll have the same surprise we had at the end of your stay.

“Not Recommended at All”

Carib Territory Guest House

Feb 13, 2008

This may have been an ok guesthouse in the past, but not anymore. The beds sag, the furniture is water damaged, the walls are cracked and need paint, the toilets run, the showers leak, the restaurant seems to only serve food occassionally, and
the killer -- the owner's wife is terribly rude to the guests. She charged an additional 10% sevice charge on top of the quoted price. Her husband too, alas, although friendly enough to talk to, seems only interested in guiding and is not forthcoming about things to do in the area - if you do them on your own, he makes no money. I know that the web site for this guesthouse makes it look good, but things have changed and it no longer is. I would say away. There are plenty of other good value guesthouses and apartments in the area that are the same price. US$60 whose owners are genuine. Try Domcan's Guesthouse in Castel Bruce instead.

I've stayed here on two different occasions, in1999 and 2001. Charles and Margret Williams are outstanding hosts to make a stop in the Carib Territory a pleasant one. Even though the rooms are pretty average, they are clean...but the surrounding gardens are truly outstanding. One can meet an unspoiled people in an unspoiled setting, and see sites and learn about a culture that few Caribbean tourists ever encounter. The owners are very trustworthy and reliable...after all they want you to come back. They can custom arrange tours, or tell you the best way to see for yourself if you have a car. To tag along with them as they visit the locals provides a unique insite. All of they food is freshly prepared, sometimes as you watch it being havested from a tree or their garden!
