Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel

In the rural village of Grande Riviere lies Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel - a serene beachside ecolodge on the north coast of Trinidad. Having been acquired by HADCO in 2021, the hotel is the second property in HADCO Experiences’ portfolio and was reopened to the public in December 2023.  Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel, once an old cocoa estate, was transformed into Grande Riviere’s first hotel in 1993 by Piero Guerrini, an Italian photojournalist who had travelled to Trinidad to photograph Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, Derek Walcott. He fell in love with the magical aura of Grande Riviere and stayed in Trinidad, working to transform the cocoa estate into Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel.

A Leatherback Haven

The hotel sits on a beautiful bay, mere steps away from a special beach that is renowned as a sanctuary for the endangered Leatherback turtles. This pristine 1km stretch of beach boasts the highest concentration of nesting Leatherback turtles in the world. These majestic creatures make their way to the shoreline to deposit their eggs in the sand.

Coastal Elegance

Today, the property has been newly renovated, where modern amenities seamlessly blend with the rustic beauty of the coastal landscape. The 21 meticulously designed rooms offer a tranquil retreat, each providing a private sanctuary with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. A pool has been added, with an adjacent bar and restaurant, each offering a feast for the senses.

Poolside Bliss and Culinary Delights

Guests can feel free to indulge in relaxation by our pool and unwind under the Caribbean sun. While relaxing, savour delectable culinary delights crafted from locally sourced ingredients, perfectly complemented by refreshing beverages. More adventurous guests can also enjoy guided hiking and birdwatching tours in the nearby forests.
