Cara Lodge Hotel

The hotel is very charming with interesting history. The restaurant serves delicious food too! The main reason for the low rating is the extremely rude and obnoxious night guard/receptionist. He has zero social skills and should not be in a place to interact with guests at all!!!

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.

Well who knew....a somewhat Irish hotel in Georgetown...actually there is a small fountain in the breakfast courtyard and I'm quite certain the slate tiles come from and old Irish cottage...could I be wrong.? Look this is one of those wonderfully kept old wooden mansions of a bygone era...good riddance to that era for many (most) but, thankfully, something positive was left. Among the mesmeric scatterings of ruined and reformed wooden buildings that give Georgetown a charm exuding the new world and the old, there are emerging a growing number of wonderfully restored wood buildings revealing their rich colours and incredible craftsmanship. Cara lodge has been a pioneer in leading that charge it seems. So you don't come here for the sharp opulence and predictable cloakiness of Marriott or the like...this is for people who dream of bumping into emperors like Henri Christophe of Haiti, or Karen Blixen, or god Knows lonely writers chasing their opus. The finely manicured hardwood interiors whispers tales and intrigues, the balconies wind their way under shuttered windows that keep the secrets of lovers long parted....there is a stillness in the night, the click of crickets, the soft whistle of the balmy night air winds the opes and spirals with ceiling fans...drawing the soul into a sweet slumber. Oh, I love this place. Did you guess? Don't fault the staff who slide around, ghostlike at times, non chalante at others, they are the children of this dreamlike land.....as forthright, as present and as absent as the season of rains. Let them be. Here, you, just be.

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.

This is a charming hotel with beautiful public spaces. The rooms are dated. The kindness of the staff and the character and soul of the old colonial house elevate the experience. It is located very centrally, but location is not as important because Georgetown is not a very walkable city.

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.

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!!

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.
