Each month we travel to Suriname and stay in the Torarica Hotel. Planes to Suriname only fly three times a week from Trinidad and always fly at night. The hotel provides a shuttle bus for the one hour trip to their hotel.
The grounds of the hotel offer the finest of Paramaribo if not Suriname entirely. Here you have tennis, swimming, hot tubs, exercise rooms, pedicures and massages. For $21.60 a person can schedule a relax massage or a deep massage.
The rooms have wireless internet but are always cold. There is not a way to regulate the air conditioning. If you leave it off, everything in the room gets damp.
A highlight of the hotel is the gift shop which features stunning Surinamese art. Also the lobby has a koi pond that is very well-stocked and maintained.

The Royal Torarica, Suriname
On December 23, 2007, the Royal Torarica opened its doors for business. This four-star (plus) hotel is located against the river in downtown Paramaribo. (Kleine Waterstraat 10). For reservations call Boomerang Tours & Travel at 800 364 - 6010 or e-mail info@boomerangtours.com . (Suriname is located in South America just between Guyana and French Guiana and is north of Brazil.)
The following show takes you on a tour of the magnificent lobby featuring paintings by local Suriname artist, "Dorette", and gives a feel for the ambiance in the restaurant. The next photos illustrate the decor in the rooms as well as the ensuite bathroom with a rainforest shower. Air conditioning is individually regulated rather than an on/off button and each bed is crowned with a comfortable duvet. The bedrooms also have state of the art flat screen television sets and wireless internet.
The lowest price rooms begin with the garden view rooms with the river view rooms located on the other side of the hall. These rooms retail around $220. The next level of room is called deluxe and a few overlooking the river have a terrace.
Although the landscaping is not yet complete, the restaurant food is excellent and the hotel is fully operational sharing all of the amenities of the Torarica next door.
