Top Cariari Hotel Reviews

Aninga Lodge

8/10 Good

"Beautiful setting and extremely clean! The Hotel is very helpful over whats app. The buffet is tasty but quite basic. There is no AC in the rooms, just block a ceiling fan that wasnt very powerful- this was ok at night and we slept well but not very comfortable during the day. Overall a nice stay."

Casa Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in good condition. The room was good, big enough. The location is excellent. They helped set up our tours and we had an excellent time. Everything is super close. Their dock is nice and relaxing. We were able to get some beautiful sunset pictures. The breakfast was very good! We would definitely recommend it!"

Pura Natura Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was awesome. It was right next to the national park. We loved going out and sitting on the river side to drink coffee in the morning. It is hot and humid but the air conditioner and dehumidifier worked beautifully. There is a fridge and coffee maker with provided coffee. No microwave, shampoo, or conditioner. There were plenty of dishes/silverware. My kids would have loved the place but my husband and I came alone. We would definitely return."
