Cara Lodge Hotel

The Cara Lodge is a historical hotel in city center. has gorgeous patios and decorations. the restaurant is good and breakfast is not included. there is not elevator , and the rooms are spacious , the bathrooms need some tlc. the floors are dark woods from Guyana. the hotel is located in a nice area of the city. the great thing and service about the hotel is that the airport transfers can be charge to the room. No need to exchange $$ for extras or charges.

Beautiful hotel with character. The rooms could do with some TLC. The restaurant service is great and the food is good. The home made ice cream was our night time treat. The prices are all over the place.e.g. 3 mini scoops of ice cream were 20 US$!!! The location is excellent.

Just two-night stay last week. After three trips to Guyana, Cara seems to be the best cost-benefit in the country! Caribbean feel, all wood, charming. Hotel has a few issues: no water out of shower (they quickly upgraded my room), and the fact that they have an own booking agent online, that I used, but the Reception desk did not honor the Lower price I had gotten… Highest qualities: 1. Ms. NEKA MILLINGTON, a lovely room maid, always smiling, very helpful. 2. Great restaurant.

The hotel definitely has character. But also comes with some downsides. Was noisy. Service was generally abysmal (not a word I use often!). We stayed on 3 different occasions and sadly our experiences were pretty consistent. Food very mediocre and service incredibly slow. Did have a rum tasting dinner at the hotel (though this was organised by our tour company -Wilderness Explorers - absolutely fantastic!!) and this was good. Didn't help my husband left his AirPods on the bedside table and they got stolen (presumably by the cleaners). He actually could trace them for a period of time to the block down from the hotel!. The hotel was not interested and never followed up (my view was it was his own fault for leaving them but the complete disinterest by the hotel was poor as it was obviously one of their staff that took them as they were left in a locked bedroom). Suggest you stay one or two nights to experience the history but for longer stay somewhere else!! And eat elsewhere too!!

Excellent stay at the Cara Lodge in May 2024! Great room well taken care of by the room attendants. Very pleasant and accommodating staff. Very good restaurant with a preference for the Salt Fish and Bakes and the Garlic Pork! Gavin, keep up the great work!!!!

Stayed at this hotel many times on business. The old part was built over 180 years ago and the rest of the buildings have been added in the same colonial style, which has a certain charm. Its main drawback is that it is very noisy. You will hear everything that is going on outside, in the hallway. It was often the case that the shower only had cold water. On the positive side - very good restaurant compared to others in the city. Well and the best room is the suite under the roof - two rooms, kitchen very and comfortable. Verdict, if you want exotic, stay here.
