A spider.
Where in the world are you? Zooming in doesn't give much clue to size so roughly how big? It's a tarantula of some sort, I'm sure but not 100% on species. Do you mind if I show the photo to a couple spider nerd acquaintances for more ideas? (I don't have friends)

That’s the Lesser Spotted Toronto Stickleback, the only poisonous spider in Canada. It must have hitched a ride from Canada.
They can be pacified with a small bowl of maple syrup and if they bite you they say sorry so you know you’ve been bitten and have time to get to the hospital.

I went and asked at the various beach bars here, ‘a spider’ was the reply from all of them. Ffs, none of the locals have ever seen one, been here four days and bosh, it’s in my bathroom, and my Henry is 4000 miles away.
We’re in the Caribbean.

And please, show it to whoever you choose.
I was brave enough to open the window above it and move the curtain outside, tried shaking it and it just clung on. Shut the window with curtain/spider outside and went to beach then pub, come home and the bastard’s still there. tonysingh, you couldn’t pop over and get rid could you?

The Caribbean? Stupid question but is this Trinidad specifically? Coz I'm pretty certain it's one of two or three species but each is endemic to a specific Caribbean island.

That's made it 100% easier.
What you've got there is a Caribbean Diamond Tarantula (Tapinauchenius Rasti). Fuck all to worry about.

Easy for you to say, the prick’s not hanging on to your lav’s curtain!

Just cup it, you'll be fine and release it outside. I'd come do it for you but I only fly first class.

Cup it? Would need a fucking bucket!

Cup it with your hands, obviously.
