“This hotel is a joke”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I love the Trip Advisor website..and decided that since I love to read reviews..I should also provide other travellers with the same luxury. I booked to stay at the Cara Suites..because the sister hotel Cara Lodge (which is EXCELLENT) was fully booked. On arriving..I was like,,"This is it!?"..not impressed at all with the location. Entered the reception area..to a clerk who had "just switched off" her pc..and told me the security had my key. FINE. Proceeded up to my room..and opened the door of a USD$150 room which was nasty! A/C wasnt working..remote on wall had no buttons. I called downstairs and was told I could push my finger inside..I wouldnt get shocked. I asked if the security if he was crazy! I was then given a rusty..dusty fan...that kept the most noise. I had hair in my bed..that didnt look like it came from any one's head. This hotel is nasty. Room 104 needs renovating. I mean..Guyana isnt the best place in the world to go...if you know what I mean...so when travelling there..one should be comfortable. Dont waste time at this place..go over to Cara Lodge..or better yet..Herdmanston Lodge..they are excellent value for money.

I gave a score of 2/5..only because I am feeling a bit generous! These people are out of their mind for charging anything above USD$50!

“Best Hotel in Georgetown, Guyana”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

This hotel was amazing! Staff is very professional, courteous and extremely helpful. Rooms are cleaned thoroughly.
The restaurant called Bistro 176 is incredible! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. In fact they made foods that were NOT on the menu, but based on our request. They made our stay memorable and we certainly plan on staying at this hotel again.
All amendities are very well thought out. We HIGHLY recommend.

“Not the place for comfort and safety”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Our family's 3rd stay at this hotel. Its not a five star hotel but it was clean and we were able to cook etc. However, there is now a night club 2 doors over and there is no sleep at nights. The party ends around 6:00 am. The security guards are incapable of dealing with the clients of the neighbouring club - a gun was pulled on the guard - how safe does that make us?? We were awaken by this awful vibration in the room - it was the bass from the party that spilled out on to the streets surrounding the Cara Suites. The hotel said there is nothing they can do about it. However, they can let people know of the noise factor if they are using the hotel to get a good night's rest. That is no longer possible there. If you are looking for an all night party, then that would be the place for you. If you are looking for a comfortable, secure and clean place, Cara Suites is no longer that place. I am very disappointed as we were there for our mother's funeral and needed a place to sleep at night - we did not get any of that. The staff were making excuses and the security never heard a thing - that is because he was locked up inside --- more than likely sleeping. You would have had to have a hearing problem not to hear or feel the noise exploding in the rooms.
At $174.00 US per night, you would expect a little more than what we got. The rooms in our suite had black stuff on the walls, looked like mould or condensation in two different areas.
Would I go there again.... not as it is currently.... I would go again if things go back to the way there were 4 years ago and the night club - Gerry's is no longer its neighbour.

“It is OK.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2010

The staff were helpful and friendly.
The food was good.
Free internet was great.
Don't even think cable/satellite reception. It is there nominally. You get good reception from probably 3 channels.
While trying to take a nap during the day, the phone outside the room rang many times 9probably for the maid) and woke me up each time. It was loud.
It is showing signs of neglect. I saw many water-stained ceiling tiles and there seems to be a rough hodge-podge approach to repairs and maintenance.
I would probably stay there again.

“Used for day room purposes - perfectly OK”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2009
2
people found this review helpful

My partner and I took a day room here in advance of an overnight bus trip into the interior. (the bus departs from around the corner, so it was extremely convenient). The decor was sparse with linoleum floors and fluorescent lights, but the bed was large and comfortable and the shower worked well. Full kitchen in our suite... not sure if that's standard since I haven't seen any other rooms here. Clean and comfortable and adequate for our purposes.

Good cafe/restaurant and bar on-site; additional good food options within a block. Full service travel agency - Wilderness Explorers - is on-site, too, handling simple local tours all the way up to mutli-week adventures in the interior. They've handled much of my travel across the country.

Good Wi-Fi, but as with all Guyanese internet connections, expect dropouts and slow speeds.

I personally prefer sister-property Cara Lodge, about two blocks away, but would stay here again in a pinch.
