Tucked along a quiet road on Trinidad’s east coast, the small, two-and-a-half-pearl Salybia Nature Resort & Spa sits on a rocky beach with lovely Saline Bay views. While the 21 rooms are outdated, they all offer ocean view balconies, air-conditioning, and a good amount of space. Along with a clean pool, full-service spa, and a tropical-themed restaurant, the hotel ticks most of the expected boxes for a solid waterfront hotel. However, the rocky, unswimmable beach, uncomfortable beds, dated decor, and a general inattentiveness to detail overshadows many of the positives.

Situated along a well-traveled beach road in western Tobago, Grafton Beach Resort overlooks Stonehaven Bay -- a popular spot for nesting leatherback turtles each spring. On paper, it ticks many of the essential boxes for a two-and-a-half pearl waterfront getaway, including a lively beach bar, open-air restaurant, and a clean pool with swim-up bar. But an aging decor, mediocre food, and an often crowded public beach leave a lot to be desired. Each of the 78 rooms are spacious and dated, with mini-fridges, air-conditioning, and private balconies or terraces, some with ocean views. Travelers willing to part with a little more cash will be happier at Blue Haven Hotel, and intimate spot with ocean views and handsome rooms that's about 20 minutes away.
