Stayed here for 3 nights. The restaurant had a good selection of food, and it was quite good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms are very outdated and need to be renovated. The WiFi didn’t work up in the rooms, only in the lobby could we connect.

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.

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

Beautiful history, Ugly experience
I am a frequent traveler and I have visited many countries and hotels. This by far was the worst. I understand that the hotel is an historic building but having to carry 4 suitcases up 6 flights of stairs was not a good experience. The room was ver old and looked like it was not upgraded since the hotel was built, the flooring was cracked in several spots sinking in as you walked on them, there were exposed nails and we are traveling with our little one so that was a concern. The list goes on and to top it off there was no warm or hot running water. My little requires warm water for a skin condition. Imagine having to shower him at 3am in cold water. Needless to say we Contacted the front dress to ask if we can switch rooms and they told us non was available. We tried calling back several times and the front desk would not take our calls. We left the next morning checked into another hotel and forfeited our money we spent to book Cara for 3 nights
