Eco Torarica

江湖好好好

My initial impressions of this place were not good. Their website said that they were able to arrange transport from the airport, but when I contacted them about this I received no reply. Instead, I booked with dePaarl Garages, which proved fine. Then when I arrived, instead of a Riverside room that I had paid extra for, I was given one with a splendid view of the car park! However, things quickly improved: Next day, Giovanni (I think) arranged for me to move to a room which had rather a good view of the Suriname River from the balcony. The room itself was very comfortable. It had a safe which just about fits a modern laptop, and a fridge. The A/C worked well. It was in the building nearest the river, and it was quiet at night. Breakfast was served from shortly after 6am, but whatever time I got there, there was a good variety of food on offer (and great coffee), which varied from day to day. The hotel restaurant had some excellent Surinamese dishes (the food is a highlight of Suriname), and was open all afternoon and in the evening so that, if you want, you can simply head straight there whenever you happen to arrive back hungry from your adventures in Paramaribo or further afield. The WiFi was generally OK, but could be a little spotty. I found all the hotel staff really pleasant and helpful. The hotel is ideally situated, being far enough away from the heart of town not to be too noisy, but close enough to be with a 15 min walk of so from the centre. Walking the other way, there are 2 Chinese-run supermarkets within easy reach for drinks and snacks; the one slightly further away offers more choice and better value. There is also a bicycle rental place right opposite. It takes about 25 mins to cycle up to the Leonsburg river crossing if you are going to Ft Nieuw. Amsterdam. The motor boat ride cost me 200-250SRD each way as sole passenger. You could also get to the Leonsburg crossing by bus (14.5 SRD flat rate) but I could not find any buses at the week-end even though they were plentiful on weekdays. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at the Eco Torarica.

Had a 10 day stay at this resort after making a last minute hotel switch. I certainly do not regret having made the change. The place is quiet, food is delicious and staff goes the extra mile in trying to accomodate the guest. Will certainly be back and will highly recommend

Eco Torarica is a very pleasant place to stay, Every aspect of Hospitality is excellent. It's a very cosy environment with a lot of green to enjoy.

Wafer thin walls, no peace. You can hear ppl sigh next door. The housekeeping staff is very loud disregarding the do not disturb signs. Poor breakfast choices, you have to ask the staff to replenish things. I waited for 1.5 hrs for an iron which I finally went to get myself.

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.
