Paramaribo Hotels with Balcony

I had a perfectly pleasant stay at this Courtyard. Nice, simple and modern room. Overall better than an average Courtyard in the U.S. The location won't work for everyone though - the hotel is a bit out of town. We had a rental car (from Hertz), so the location wasn't an issue. There's also Avis car rental next to the hotel, but I couldn't price it up through the Avis website so not sure if it's open (if it is, I'd take a taxi form the airport to the hotel and rent a car from there). More generally, we really liked Suriname - super friendly people, we generally felt safe, the food was delicious, prices weren't crazy. All of this in stark contrast to Guyana. It seems that most countries don't need a visa to enter, but you still need to pay the entry fee online. I read multiple reports saying that you can no longer do it on arrival at PBM or ORG airport - this wasn't true as a couple of passengers from my flight were paying the entry fee on arrival at ORG (September 2023). You also need a yellow fever vax certification - this was checked by the airline at check-in. Another hopefully helpful tip - Transguyana Airlines runs 3 flights a day between the small regional airport in Paramaribo (Zorg en Hoop - airport code ORG) and its equivalent in Georgetown (Ogle - airport code OGL). These are super convenient as the main international airport in both Georgetown and Paramaribo is an hour away from the city. Note that these flights were not coming up on Kayak or *******, but were easy to book through the airline's website. FWIW, there was also a flight from PBM to OGL which may be helpful for those arriving at the main airport in Paramaribo and connecting to Georgetown. The flight itself is on a small 12-seater (Cessna Caravan) which is fun on its own. I wish I had more time in Suriname - what a fascinating country!

Front desk went above and beyond. This was the first in 45 countries where there was no ATM or change machine in the airport on arrival. And our first day there was a national holiday so the banks and places to change money were closed. Hotels take credit cards in Suriname but almost no restaurants do. The front desk found us a Chinese restaurant that took US dollars so we were able to eat dinner until we could change money. Each room had different birds and wildlife painted inside. Furniture was unique. Bed was comfortable. Ensuite bathroom with shower. Breakfast was included and there were fresh fruits and juices in addition to eggs and cereal options. We were there a week but a few of the nights our excursion took us far enough out of town that we didn't stay at the hotel. We knew they would hold our bags for us while we did the excursions. But it ended up they were able to let us even leave it in our locked hotel room. Very convenient. They don't change money at the front desk, there's no ATM within a few blocks and other than the breakfast area, there's no restaurant in the hotel. There a few places to get coffee a little further down the block. Restaurants such as Naskip for chicken and Padre Nostro for pizza and gelato within walking distance. On our wedding anniversary our breakfast server learned that fact and went in to the kitchen for two pieces of banana cake and played on the speakers a romantic song. Air conditioning in the guest room but not any other areas of the hotel.

Decided to spend a weekend with my wife and son here before a month long trip. Keeping in mind that it cost over US$ 300 per night which is more than an average HILTON, MARRIOTT, or HYATTT; there was quite a lot to be expected. Unfortunately, the issues began at check-in. It was not a smooth experience, and both check-in assistants seemed not to be adequately proficient in the English language. They did not explain some of the amenities the hotel offers, and more importantly the operational procedures of the hotel. (I later had to learn that the hotel does not accept deposit by credit card). We settled into our room which was clean, spacious, and well furnished. What they could improve were the pillows. Either the quality of the pillows was inferior, or they had already been used for quite a while. We then descended to the pool area for a swim. The pool itself is the highlight of this resort. The pool is designed as a watering hole in the amazon; so it is surrounded by rock and bush formations. It even has a multi-cascade waterfall which covers a grotto. Last but not least is the full service swim-up bar. As nice as it was, the area was over crowded and seating around the pool seemed to be taken-up by walk-in guests. The main issue though was that there seemed to be a clear lack of coordination and understanding between the waiters, bar-men, kitchen, and administration staff. The waiters were heavily understaffed which led to confusion, long waiting times, and small ques. For dinner, we decided on ordering room service as we were already tired and phased out from the day. They offered room service from both the café at the swimming pool, or from the main grill restaurant. The menu was varied, allowing it to cater to your specific taste, and the food quality and presentation was impressive. Overall, its not a bad property. It is just that the quality of the staff and coordination really need improvement.....if not, then it is not worth the prices the hotel asks.

沒去過，可惜了，因為飛機飛不過去啊

We stayed at this hotel for our conference that booked it for the entire team. The food was amazing. The staff were extremely friendly. The only downside was the fact that we could not control the air conditioning. In my case, I really wanted it to be turned off but it had to be left on due to humidity. Another downside noise coming from the street because my room was close.to the main road and there is very little sound insulation. But overall this was a beautiful property and the food was very reasonably priced.

This is a nice, basic, spacious apartment, located at a small alley in North Paramaribo neighborhood. Full kitchen, and good shower pressure with ample hot water. There is a laundry room at the ground floor if you need to use it. The location of Rachel's Apartment is very good: - Safe residential neighborhood with supermarkets, cafes and restaurants. Fine to walk day and night, unlike the downtown area which can be a little seedy after night falls. - 10 min walk to the Historic Inner City of Paramaribo - 10 min walk to 2 covid testing sites (MyLab and MeDiLab) It is best to reach out to the proprietor by whatsapp before you arrive with your ETA to ensure someone is there to check you in. He owns two apartments in the same area and therefore may not always be around to greet you. There is also a security guard onsite 7 PM-7 AM that can allow guests in after hours.
