We used Baganara as rest stop between touring the Guyana interior and moving on to Suriname and French Guiana, and found it perfect. The rooms have a Caribbean colonial feel and the large dining and lounge area feels almost Polynesian. Grand sweeps of manicured lawn with chairs and benches throughout make strolling a delight. There are plenty of beach chairs... More

We have just returned from 3 months in Guyana. And amid a lot of other very excellent adventures, we ditched the kids for one night and flew to this total paradise! It was very peaceful. The beach was ours, no annoying beach vendors oofering to do your hair or plait you a hat (Barbadoes) The staff were uber efficient but... More

I went with my brother and his wife, we all had a good time on the Island. Love the scenery, view and peacefulness, especially relaxing in the hammock. From the moment we got off the boat, Anne was waiting with a cool glass of "lime water". I truly enjoyed all the meals cooked by Trevor and his team. Mr. Kurt... More

I have been to Baganara for several occasions. And everytime I book I always ask if the chef Trevor is there. He is just so good and dsiplays a variety of options. Try it yourself. You will be delighted and very satisfied.

We landed up at Baganara after an intense few weeks in the jungle. It was clean and comfortable, and the staff was lovely. The food was also very good. We did a short kayak trip around the island, but mostly we just relaxed. One late afternoon, we took a 10-minute boat ride to Parrot Island. DO NOT MISS THIS! Hundreds,... More

Baganara was the last main stop (other than a final night in Georgetown) on our trip to Guyana. We spent 1 night at Atta and 2 nights each at Surama, Rock View, Karanambu and Maipaima, all in the North Rupununi. Baganara is a small island set in the Essequibo river about 5 miles from Bartica. The island has its own... More

Baganara Island is a true gem, which is no small accomplishment given that Guyana generally lacks basic tourist infrastructure common in other developing countries. My girlfriend and I spent week on the island in January and it was a lovely experience. The grounds are beautiful and secluded, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is exceptionally attentive. The... More

Arrive by speedboat, leave by private plane - wow. A big old house on a private island in the middle of a river, this place is extremely relaxing. The staff were unobtrusive yet very friendly and helpful. Particularly Armando the barman. Our host was very helpful in booking tours and generally telling us about life in Guyana. It was great...

Where do I begin? Everything about this place was wonderful. The speedboat ride to the island was frightening, but was worth it once we reached the island. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the host (Ricardo) and served pine tarts and lemonade while he introduced us to himself and explained the history of the island. The entire staff was... More
