Location
Acajou Hotel is situated in Grande Riviere, a small fishing village on the northern coast of Trinidad. The expansive Grand Riviere Beach, known for its coarse quartz-rich sand, stretches over 1 km and is one of the main nesting grounds for leatherback turtles. Guests can also hike to nearby waterfalls located within lush rainforest areas.
Accommodations
The hotel includes six unique cottages inspired by Indonesian, Polynesian, and Japanese architectural styles. Each cottage comes with a king-size bed and a convertible sofa for an additional guest. One cottage offers a sleeping loft with two single beds, accommodating families of up to four members.
Dining
The hotel's restaurant serves a menu based on locally sourced ingredients, emphasizing fresh produce grown by local farmers. Seasonal variations are reflected in the dishes, creating a menu that changes throughout the year. The chef skillfully combines local favorites with international influences.
Turtle Watching
From March to September, guests have the opportunity to witness hundreds of leatherback turtles nesting along the beach each night. This exceptional experience is conducted under the supervision of authorized guides to ensure safety and compliance. Later in the season, visitors can also observe hatchlings making their way to the sea.
Activities
Adventure seekers can explore the stunning local area through hiking trails leading to nearby waterfalls. Grande Riviere Beach is also known as a sheltered surf spot, welcoming surfers of all skill levels. Bird watchers can look for 433 species, including the endangered Pawi (Piping Guan).

“The cottages, built with exotic hardwoods, show a devotion to both nature and unique design. Its proximity to Grande Riviere Beach offers remarkable access to the leatherback turtle nesting site. I think that the customized, locally-sourced dining adds a distinct layer of authenticity to any stay.”
