Nothing is offered inside the Pointe-à-Pierre Wildfowl Trust, so most backpackers sleep in San Fernando, about 15 minutes by road, where guesthouses and small hotels run roughly US$40 to 90 a night. San Fernando has shared taxis, supermarkets, and plenty of cheap local food, which makes it the practical choice for a self-guided trip.Chaguanas, a half-hour north, has more budget rooms and sits on the main highway and bus routes. Many travelers also use Port of Spain, around an hour away depending on traffic, where hostels and Airbnb rooms start near US$25 to 40 for a bed or basic room and nightlife is easy to find.Pointe-à-Pierre itself is an industrial refinery town with very little accommodation, so book ahead elsewhere and plan a morning commute. Rooms in the south fill up around Carnival and during major oil industry events. I would pick San Fernando for convenience, then add Port of Spain if you want more nights out.
