Guana Island

If you want to go somewhere "secluded" but not actually feel cut off, this is a great place to do it. Traveling to Guana was incredibly easy for us given the direct flight to Tortola (EIS) from Miami. Once you land and clear customs, it's a short, 10-minute boat ride to the Island, and you're done. The staff will stay out of your way, but WILL try to accomplish pretty much anything you can think to ask for. They're a lovely group of people. I enjoyed talking to them just as much as being in the nicer weather.

If you are looking for the place to disconnect, this is it! You get the charm of the old Caribbean lifestyle combined with modern amenities. The rooms are simple but nice and confortable, the grounds are spectacular, the food is delicious and the staff extremely friendly. You get the vibe of being on an old estate surrounded by friends and family.

Guana Island is a truly unique location. It's more of an oasis than a typical resort. You can enjoy experiences like trekking and a variety of water sports there, or you can just relax and decompress. You can have the impression that you are on your own private island because they don't have many rooms/guest capacity . They pick you up in a boat and greet you with beverages and other amenities when you arrive at their dock. You are given a rundown of how things operate and given a tour of the facilities and your accommodation. Gourmet food is always served. The majority of necessities are available in the bars. The hotel's culture is such that you can create your own drink, or you can ask the bartender to prepare one for you. You can choose to socialize or not at mealtimes. It's arranged so you can share a table or have a private supper. There is a great view from every table in the restaurant. The waters of the main beach are turquoise with white sand. Their trekking paths are thrilling and challenging. We are grateful to Nicole in the office for looking after us and providing assistance as needed. We appreciate Kathleen, the head server at the restaurant, for her kindness and lovely voice. I appreciate Sampson, our favorite bartender, choosing out coconuts for me and having a thoughtful conversation. I appreciate Rufus's kind nature and our wonderful chat. Also thanks to Eric at the orchard for showing us around.

We had a fantastic Honeymoon while at Guana! We were searching for a low key, beautiful place to relax and Guana blew away our expectations. The staff was extremely accommodating and made our experience truly special. They take great pride and care of the island, and it is evident in all that we experienced. We encountered mosquitoes during our stay, but bug spray worked well. We would definitely love to be back!

Such an amazing property, we’ve never been anywhere like it. The food was amazing with every dinner consisting of 4 courses. The staff here is amazing and takes such good care of you and makes you feel like family. It’s very quiet and private, we can’t wait to go back!
