Very overpriced for what you get and disappointing - we wanted a treat and just got a headache staying here. The receptionist seemed unwelcoming and moody sighing when we had an issue. There was no hot water for when we stayed both seperate times (they knew about the issue on one side of the building and said nothing), we were eventually given another room to use the shower which was subsequently booked without informing us. The manager initially didn't seem very helpful. The rooms are nice and clean but the whole experience wasn't. The only.good aspect were the friendly bar staff, great cocktails and the chef was helpful with providing some vegan dishes. The fresh bread was delicious.

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.

A poorly maintained property with pictures that do not align with reality. This is a very old facility with no elevator (meaning you'll need to haul your bags up multiple flights of stairs) and many fire hazards (no fire alarms). The staff is horrible - from the front desk, restaurant and beyond - they all clearly do not like their job and seek out opportunities to be rude. Twice times during my stay, the housekeeper just opened my door without knocking. It is also in a rather dangerous part of town. Do not stay at this hotel.

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!!

The food here is excellent, they have a wide variety both international and Guyanese cuisine and the service is excellent. It’s very quite and colonial style architecture take you back in time. Part meets present. If you are looking for good service, food and a quiet and relaxing space, this is it

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!!!!
