Hotels in San Fernando, Trinidad

A small state located in the most southern portion of the Caribbean, Trinidad sits northeast of Venezuela. It is a popular tourist attraction and noted for its tropical climate, friendly hospitality and as one of the islands outside of the hurricane belt. Consisting of less than 2,000 square miles, the island is small, and San Fernando is its second largest city. Unlike the rest of the Caribbean, Trinidad's economy is not based on tourism, but is industrial, focusing on petroleum. It is, however, still a popular tourist location and known as the home of calypso, Soca music and limbo. With a rich history, the island welcomes visitors from all over the world and is home to some spectacular hotels.
