Lake Mainstay Resort

Lake Mainstay

A lakeside resort in the Mainstay village with lakeview cabins and lodges, a beachfront and a tennis court.

Lake Mainstay lies in the Pomeroon-Supenaam region on Guyana's Atlantic side, inland from Anna Regina. It is a calm black-water lake fringed by Amerindian villages and forest, and has long been a place for Guyanese to swim, boat and relax at weekends.

Where to stay

Lake Mainstay Resort is the main property, with lakeview cabins and lodges, a beachfront setting, tennis court and bars. Listings say it has about 40 air-conditioned rooms. Guest reviews are mixed, with praise for food and staff and complaints about aging cottage rooms, so set expectations accordingly.

Good to know

The resort can be reached by road, about 45 minutes from Anna Regina, or by a 20-minute flight from Georgetown to its airstrip. It hosts the annual Regatta and an Easter car and bike show, so the lake is busiest then. Confirm operating status before you plan.
