Has anyone been to Trinidad & Tobago recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene

I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Trying to decide between this and Thailand.

Cheers

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: go early evening.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Great report, thanks for sharing. Had a similar experience there last month.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
