I have traveled many places around the world and this hotel by far was the worst. I booked this hotel based on the website information and picture. The picture of the room on the website is bright, clean and shows a large room. Our room was dark,dirty and small. There was a 2 in x 2 ft space in the bathroom window, no screen, just a space, anything could have come through that gap at night. The air conditioner was caked with dust. The rug had a patch about 1 ft x 1 ft. Also there was an iron burn on the rug. The toilet did not flush, we had to use the waste can to get water out of the shower to pour into the toilet to flush it. There was about 2 feet between the bed and wall. We got in late at night, no TT money and were pretty much stuck here for the night. We laid down, turned on the TV and the picture on the 13 in screen was green, that was the only color that came in. We tried to fall asleep and had already decided we were not going to spend the other 3 nights we had booked in this hotel. Sleeping was also a challenge. There was a pack of dogs that were near by that barked all night along. They must have woken up the rooster, because he started in about midnight and went all night long too. With the gap in the window came the mosquitos, those also kept us awake. The river that is described was actually a creek. I had asked for the second floor room so it would be quieter. Well, that was 3 flights of narrow steps, carrying our own suitcases. With the traffic noise, dogs and rooster it was not quiet at all, very little sleep after a long day of travel.
We checked out right away the next morning, breakfast was included with our $80/night rate, but we wanted to get out as fast as we could and skipped breakfast. We went to the Crew's Inn for the rest of our stay and were much more comfortable. Very nice place on the marina. Clean, tile floor, huge bathroom, with a resturant,bar, little grocery store, ATM, etc. I would recommend staying there. Very picturesque.

I stayed at this property about 18 months ago, and am finally compelled to write a review. After looking at the web page, and reading the descriptions, I thought that I was going to a tropical paradise. This couldn't be further from the truth. It was very disappointing. The rooms were very, very plain and basic (that's being flattering). Although the room was clean, the property did not reflect the image that is portrayed on its web page. There are birds...and that's about it....the river is non existant, the below average restaurant is very disappointing. You quite honestly sit there and think to yourself, "where is the hidden camera, this has to be some kind of cruel joke..."

The owner "Winston" is portrayed in some travel guides as being this wonderful host. I met him, and certainly did not share these feelings. I felt taken advantage of to think I was paying $60.00 to stay at this property.

Winston charges an outrages fee for airport transfers (although there is no other option)....if you book a swamp tour to see the scarlett ibis, you are often told you will be sharing the expense of the van ride with others, only to be told once you are in the van, that the other group has cancelled.

We really felt that we did not get good value from this hotel...
If you choose to book it that's up to you...but you will not being staying at the tropical paradise you were promised!

Spent a wonderful 5 days at Carnetta's Inn. Loved the ambience - the property is surrounded by trees, plants and flowers complete with a river running through. The staff were friendly and it was truly a home away from home.

Calm, beautiful natural surroundings. Guaranteed relaxation.
