Acajou Hotel is a rustic, two-and-a-half-pearl eco-friendly hotel within eyeshot of Grande Reviere Beach, the world’s second largest nesting site for leatherback turtles. Its six basic cottages -- set along a river that feeds into the sea -- are made of Trinidadian hardwoods and have ocean views, though there's no air-conditioning or TVs. Free breakfast at Lime Inn, the hotel’s restaurant, is included in room rates, which also serves lunch and dinner (to mixed reviews). For a more traditional hotel stay, the oceanfront rooms at Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel can accommodate up to six people, have with furniture made by local craftsman, and most importantly, private balconies overlooking the beach (so you can watch the turtles laying eggs and babies hatching from the comfort of your room).
