Guana Island

Guana Island far exceeded all of our very high expectations in several ways. We were looking for a quiet, secluded, all-inclusive resort in a pristine, protected environment with a great beach, outstanding food and service. We could not have imagined a more beautiful island location. The cuisine with exceptional and the service extraordinary! And the rugged hiking trails were an unexpected bonus! We enjoyed the warm, informal cocktail gatherings in which we met fellow travelers who also appreciate all Guana has to offer. Guana’s “regulars” who return every year for decades made it feel like we were joining a welcoming annual reunion of old friends, which we were.

If you get it, you get it. The guana way is high service, amazing island, amazing beach, amazing food. The rooms span from the 1950's through today, tons of history, and you need to arrive knowing this is perhaps the last of the traditional/old school BVI resorts that are left. Amazing and will be back.

Fantastic! Instead of reiterating all the fabulous details already covered by the many five star reviews below, we would like to add the following tip - take at least one hike or tour with Lennon. His sharing of his knowledge of the fauna, flora, landmarks, history, geology, and folklore, and his congenial and friendly attitude, really added to the enjoyment of our stay. Thank you as well to all of the wonderfully helpful staff, too many to name, as well as Jason, whose help in making the reservations proved invaluable.

This was a great snorkeling spot. Quiet , out of the way great spot. So much fun. So many fish. The kids had a great time and didn’t want to leave..

It's been so long since a resort stay exceeded expectations so brilliantly as did Guana Island. Our cottage, Eleuthera, was fantastic: comfy, airy, roomy, and the hot shower was better than that in most hotels. The atmosphere of a relaxed, longtime private Caribbean beach club was so palpable, redolent in area history, yet everything felt up-to-date. We loved the group dinners with those elegant white table cloth tables, lantern-light and flowers and a broad array of interesting guests, mostly from all over the US---and appreciated the option, always there, of a romantic table for two, whenever we wished. Our only regret: that we booked just three nights instead of many more. We hiked and caught up on our reading. Lovely, the whole experience.
