I stayed at the Kapok on weekends whilst working in nearby Grenada following Hurricane Ivan. It was basically an R & R destination where we simply rested. The Hotel itself is old and rooms very dated. The restaurant and bar are good and staff very accommodating. The pool was good and its not far from town centre although I only... more

The Kapok Hotel is large hotel located in the St. Clair area of Port of Spain. It is 10 minutes from downtown and about thirty minutes from the airport. The area of the hotel is very nice. It reminds me a bit of Southern California with upper class strip malls etc. It is right next to Queen's Park Savanna. The... more

I had to go to Port of Spain for a project this month. My client recommended Kapok due to their negotiated rate. Kapok is a Golden Tulip member hotel. I was easily able to get a cab from the airport for $25. The first appearance was of an older 8 story hotel with a polynesian design located on a busy... more

My husband and I stayed at Kapok Hotel during April 10-13, 2007 inclusive. The room was okay, but for the price you pay you sort of expected more. However, the staff at all levels were very pleasant and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The pool was okay and quite relaxing. The food and the view at the Tikki... more

Just stayed at the Kapok for a 5 day business trip, it's ok but at about £100 per night in my opinion over priced. The rooms are basic but clean, pool and gym poor, internet access good but expensive, food, location ok, some staff really friendly and helpful while others not so so basically an acceptable but pricey business hotel,... more

Kapok is an older hotel, but pretty well maintained (much better maintained than the Crowne Plaza, similar quality to Hilton). It's a nice location, short walking distance to Queen's Park Savannah, a decent shopping center (bank, bookshop, pharmacy, fast food), and the colonial mansions. Excellent restaurants within 15-20 minute walk (Apsara Indian, Tamnak Thai, and Battimamzelle - some of the... more

This is one of the older hotels in Port-of-Spain, located in a pleasant section of Port-of-Spain, adjacent to a large park and approximately 10 minutes (in good traffic -- 30 minutes in heavy traffic) from the commercial center of the city. Taxis are readily available and there is an upscale shopping plaza within a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The... more

I stayed at the Kapok for 5 nights in early June; my first impression based on the lobby was very favourable, but the staff at reception were rather unfriendly. On the way up to my room, I was discouraged by the elevator work left in the midst of construction and hallways that could use some sprucing up. However, my room... more

I recently stayed there for 5 nights on business. The hotel is very clean, comfortable, with decent size rooms. Do not be too discouraged by the front desk staff, as they are not the most friendly. The hotel is located on the north end of Savannah Park, in the St. Clair district. The location is ideal, as it is away... more
