Lake Mainstay

The Lake

The Lake of Mainstay is the biggest attraction for the resort — it is the very reason for its existence.

The leaves from the surrounding forests drain their contents into the water, creating distinctive tea-colored therapeutic waters. There are variations in temperature at different depths, making the lake capable of alleviating arthritis aches and muscle pains. Relaxing in the warm areas — generated from the hot springs at the bed of the lake — is much regarded as "Spa" by visitors who find it hard to leave the water. Many visitors drink the lake water and take containers home, drinking one teaspoon daily to help prevent and eliminate the common cold and fever.

For convenience, the beach is laced with benabs for groups to sit, relax, and store personal items while swimming. Volleyball nets, cricket pitches, beach bars, night lights, and a playground are all set on clean white sand with a fresh cool atmosphere. As one guest said: "A genuine glimpse of Paradise!"

Horoshi Restaurant

Horoshi Restaurant

"Horoshi" is an Arawak word meaning "belly-full." Meals are inspired by purely Guyanese tradition and style along with a fusion of exotic flavors and classic Caribbean cooking skills. Every meal is served hot and cooked fresh when ordered. Much of the greens and vegetables are grown in our strictly organic kitchen garden on the resort compound. Local juices come from fruits picked from our many fruit trees, and our famous coconut water — grown on white sand with a special sweetness — will make you experience a "taste from space." The area is also known for its "world famous" Sugar Loaf pineapple of extraordinary sweetness, usually served as part of breakfast.
