We went here for our honeymoon, and overall we have a really great time. We are a younger couple (23 and 25) but we wanted a really quite, relaxing honeymoon after our big crazy wedding. Guana Island was exactly the place for that! We stayed in the North Beach Villa. PERFECT for a honeymoon. Extremely secluded...basically a whole stretch (as far as the eye can see) of beach to yourselves, private sun deck overlooking the beach and ocean, private outdoor pool, and your own golf cart to drive around because you are so secluded! Staff even have set up a bell system to "warn" honeymooners and guests when they are approaching the villa to deliver food or to clean LOL. LOVED our villa! It came stocked with snacks and drinks, and if you ever ran out they would immediately deliver more. It even came with a blender and ingredients to make pina coladas and rum punch if you didnt feel like hanging out at the public beach bar or club house! Cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, and cereal were just a few things they stocked the kitchen with. We spent lots of afternoons relaxing at our own villa, munching on cheese and crackers and drinking beer and pina coladas! We also opted in for the honeymoon package or whatever they call it, which included a cast away picnic (SUPER FUN - highly recommend) and sunset cruise. Also did 2 spa treatments (one at the spa, one at our villa) and they were AMAZING!

PROS:
-Staff was above and beyond.
-Perfect setting for optimal relaxing
-lots of interesting things to do if your the more active type (snorkeling, fishing, kayaking, beautiful hiking trails, day trip to Tortolla, tennis, tour of their organic fruit orchard (very cool, a must-do),...
-nice and quiet - not a ton of people, and most people there were honeymooners, anniversary, or couples vacationing

CONS
-no AC. In August, there were times when sleeping was a bit uncomfortable, even with a nice breeze.
-no TVs - this was nice looking back at it, but it also took some getting used to.
-not much variety/choice for food. every day theres a menu with 2 options for dinner entrees. and if you dont like either, your out of luck. The quality of the food was only so-so...I expected much better food from a 5 star, expensive resort.

My wife and I have been to Guana 5 times. 10 days each winter. Service is imeccable, food excellent. Beach magnificent. Met new, interesting people - other guests - from all over the world. This is not the spot if you are looking for a resort. It is quiet, companionable and a wonderful way to spend a quiet time in the sun in February. Bring your Kindle and read or hike or visit Dr. Lao's award winning garden.

We spent an amazing 7 nights on Guana. I had high expectations since this was our honeymoon trip and all of my expectations were exceeded. From the moment our boat pulled up to the beautiful white sand beach with turquoise water we were in paradise. The staff was so accomodating to our needs and requests: Lunch was ready for us upon arrival, Andrea set up 2 days of scuba for us with a private diving company-just my husband and I diving with the dive master, a castaway picnic lunch on a private beach and champagne set up at a swing in the Garden of Eden to watch the sunset for my birthday.
We got to be active (scuba, snorkel, tennis, hiking) when we wanted and yet could purely relax and enjoy the quiet beach and evenings together.

We just returned from our second trip to Guana Island and still wish we were there. Wonderful island, great beach, excellent snorkling (when the water was clear- the first week rain storms and tides kept thew water cloudy). We stayed again at the North Beach Cottage tucked on the other side of the island (on the Atlantic) which truly makes it a private island experience. We would recommend this island to anyone who asks.

So you might be asking why only four stars this time? Two reasons: first off was the dinner entrees. Breakfast was always good, lunch was always excellent as were the soups, salads and desserts at dinner but for some reason we found almost every dinner entree to be average/good at best (and it seemed most guests were in agreement on this). Hard to put a finger on the issue other than the entrees were just... OK.
The second reason is that the decking around the pool and shore platform at our cottage is in serious need for replacement- the boards are old, splintered and worn.

The above are very minor (and easily fixed) issues when taken in whole as we LOVE this island and plan on returning again and again! The friendly service and great beach are really what Guana Island is all about!
