Cara Lodge Hotel

A charming old hotel in Georgetown..with walking lanes around, but a bit of a hike from the sea face and town. The rooms were well appointed, and comfortable. But since it was a period building..sans lifts - getting to & from the second floor with baggage was hard. The central atrium, with the bar ( which dished up an amazing pina colada ) was a lovely place to catch up with fellow travellers. The breakfast was great & in-house restaurant was lovely - food, ambiance, et al. Thought a bit pricy. A lovely hotel..would stay there again anytime

This hotel was badly let down by poor service. I suggest you allow at least an hour for breakfast, even if you're ordering the simplest things, as the service there in particular was painfully slow, even when not especially busy. Service was better at other meals, though still with room for improvement in terms of efficiency and friendliness. The quality of the food was generally good, though the Pepperpot was a big disappointment, as there was as much fat, gristle and bones as meat. In the dark sauce, these were difficult to tell apart until you bit into them - not a pleasant experience. The rooms were good, although on one occasion my wife was deluged with brown water when taking a shower, messing up her hair for days. When we mentioned this to reception, we were told that there had been a plumbing problem which was now sorted, and if we let the taps run for a bit it would be OK (It wasn't actually clear until the next day). Much netter if we'd been told in advance that there was a problem. You may also need to double-pump the toilet in order to get it to flush. On one occasion, I met the room cleaner. She was really friendly and did her job perfectly well. If the other staff could have matched her, this would easily have been a five star review.

The property was very picturesque. The lawns were well manicured and the building is well preserved with updated features like internet access and modernized bathrooms. The mattresses are super-comfortable and afford guests great sleep. The seating areas surrounding by beautiful foliage were very relaxing. Because the furniture was susceptible to dust, great care should be taken to maintain them. Because of the foliage, is there something that can be done about the mosquitoes? Furthermore, while it may not be safe for each room to have a microwave, I suggest that some common area should be set aside with disposable dishes and flatware for guests to warm up food.

Room was great, good air conditioning, ceiling fan, mattress was soo comfortable. Service was top notch. It was a dhame that the food was low quality. We ate their 5 times 2 breakfast and 3 lunch/dinner. Brrakfast was 4/10 I didn't like the fake suasage and the toast with no butter, reaally wasn't worth the price we paid. Lunch/dinner, the beef burger was mush and couldn't finish it and the chips was standard frozen chips deep fried. The quality for the price we paid was defo not worth it. Would recommend eating out.

I called for directions and no one answered. Finally found the place and entrance is closed so we entered via the exit. Then walked in and found a half eaten plate of food on the front desk but no concierge. A "security guard" then approached and checked us in... On top of all that i believe i was double charged so that's another stress. I have and will continue to share my experiences of this establishment.

Food excellent, service awesome, employees are super supportive and very friendly

No internet connection or tv no one comes to clean in 2 days and rooms are too small and not enough ventilation for such a cramp space this hotel is just for sleeping

I would describe Cara Lodge : The Staff are like Gems in a SINKING SHIP . Historic wooden building that has seen better days. The Manager is useless: the Common Area is tired looking and I came for the CPL (Cricket) , telly in the Common Area not working and never replaced - whenever I asked , I got a lot of LAME EXCUSES. Overall , for Premium Rates a certain standard is expected , which was Light Years behind . Dr.Naresh Armoogum

Only came here for dinner, which was very disappointing. New York prices (if not higher), but the quality/taste was extremely poor. Unfortunately, this was one of the worse meals we had during our stay in Georgetown.
