Cara Lodge Hotel

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 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!!!!

My wife and would like to offer our sincere apologies to a few of the staff at Cara lodge in Georgetown, Guyana. First of all to the two receptionists we encountered on our three separate stays in April - it was very thoughtless of us to arrive during the day and disturb you by wanting to check in. Furthermore we didn’t know it was rude to smile and be friendly or we certainly wouldn’t have done so, and should not have been surprised that you did not return the smiles. It was also especially inconsiderate of us to have expected someone to help take our one bag up three flights of steep and narrow stairs, even though we were staying in the Quamina Suite - your top accommodations. To compound our rudeness I personally apologize to the receptionist I asked for glue or something to help reattach a sole that had come loose on my sneaker. I should not have been surprised that you didn’t give a damn and offer any kind of help. We also offer our most sincere apologies to the tall waitress at breakfast - there is no reason for you to smile and be pleasant at 8AM when we were they only people in the restaurant. We also apologize for disturbing you at the bar in the afternoon and we know we were because you made it very obvious. We would however like to thank the barman and the two waiters who looked after us so wonderfully at our delicious rum tasting dinner, and the pleasant and helpful young man on our second and third stays who did carry our bag up the three flights of steps.

Our group is a surgical team working for 1 week in Georgetown 4x/year. We chose Cara Lodge on the recommendation of the hospital’s Board Chair. Every aspect of our interaction w/all associated w/the Lodge has been outstanding. Reservations accommodated the team even with our changing room needs 3x! The food is delicious. All servers are pleasant and efficient! The rooms are just fine; clean, quiet, comfortable and a great shower! We are returning for our third visit in May and will do so for our Nov. mission. Other hotels were suggested as they are less expensive and closer to the hospital but all team members agreed that they feel safe and the staff is very responsive and accommodating and prefer to stay at Cara Lodge.
