We stayed here for 4 nights. The facilities themselves are beautiful, the cabins provide plenty of privacy and are placed so that you can not see into the place next door. Air, toilets, shower, etc were all in good working order. Pool and lodges are gorgeous, and we had no trouble with internet connections. We lost power several times due... More

Awesome place in the Amazon jungle/Suriname river area of Suriname (former Dutch Gyana) Great rates, limited, but excellent food. Awesome staff and adventure center. Flights out of Miami on Suriname Air, or I have been informed there is another airline. 45 minutes from airport. Beautiful lodges with mesquito netted beds. We have a LOT more bugs in Florida than I... More

We read so many positive reviews on Bergendal- oh the power of Tripadvisor- we thought to give it a go. Supposedly Bergendal is the most luxurious resort in Surinam. And eco friendly to boot, so not going there seemed almost sinful. But upon arrival we almost immediately felt that this whole ordeal wouldn't become the happy experience we were hoping... More

Tourism, and especially eco-tourism, has really taken off now in Suriname, and Bergendal Resort - 1,5 hour drive south of Paramaribo - is one of the latest additions when it comes to sleeping in the jungle (although it is not really in the jungle as a main highway - from Paramaribo to Brokopondo Lake - gives easy access to the...

This is the one state-of-the-art resort in Surinam, perched on the banks of the river south from Paramaribo. It's a well-managed place, with comfortable lodges (on the river and in the forest), and a fine restaurant with great local food. Staying in one of the forest lodges, high up, listening to the sounds of birds and other creatures at night... More

Bergendal resort is quite a change from what was experienced in Paramaribo. It is south of Paramaribo and in the rain forest. See INJules review below for a good description. I would add that this is a young resort, and it is still coming up to speed for what tourists need and want. For example, there were no postcards or... More

We stayed at Bergendal as part of a group tour. Loved every minute of our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed in both A and C type lodges thanks to a hiccup caused by two Presidents staying at the same time as our group. The staff handled the situation wonderfully (Presidents showed up unannounced) and our... More

My kids wanted to do some fishing so the front desk called a local fisherman who helped them catch a fish within minutes.
