That’s why our concierge services are important. Our team can put you in touch with the right people who know how to make your stay incredible. Adventures are just minutes away; however, the question is, can you do all of this on your own?

The reason the Guana Cay is a Cay is due to the definition of Cay which means without fresh water. We collect all rainwater from the fiberglass gel-coated roof and filter it at the cisterns. If you care still concerned about drinking the tap water, you can use the PUR filter, or the refrigerator water filter. Drinking water can also be purchased at the local grocery store.
Please have all doors and windows closed before you turn the AC on. It is a spacepak high velocity system, and it works best at higher temps >75 degrees. Unlike traditional systems it works better at these higher temperatures because it pulls out more moisture. Please leave thermostats set above 75 degrees. If you wish to use AC in bedrooms, just turn off the thermostat at the bottom of the stairs that controls the main living space and vice versa. You can also always use fans, doors, and screens. Electrical pricing is 50% percent more expensive in the Bahamas due to fuel and infrastructure costs. We would greatly appreciate if you could turn off the AC whenever possible to promote sustainability and conservation of electricity. Open only one french door at a time, otherwise moisture can cause the doors to fail. Conch door stoppers are available at every door. All doors and windows are equipped with no-see-em screening. Fans are energy efficient and can be adjusted to your liking.
If there is an electrical outage and the generator has not automatically engaged try to contact The property manager by whatever means you may have at your disposal. Furthermore turn off the AC during the outage to prevent undue harm to any other electrical appliances.
