Lake Mainstay

Lake Mainstay is on the Essequibo Coast, just inland from Anna Regina. With it's own airstrip, it's a 20 minute flight from Georgetown. A cluster of comfortable air-conditioned cottages on the lake shore, it can accommodate more visitors that the other resorts, and has facilities to handle a conference of incentive trip. There's a well-stocked Bar on a jetty over the waters of the lake, and a comfortable restaurant with a varied menu of traditional Guyanese dishes.

Hassa, a type of fish, comes from a pond on the premises. There's a sandy lakeside beach, with wine-dark water stained by the peat. Visitors can hire brightly coloured corials to paddle on the lake. but watch out. It's harder than it looks to keep a straight course. There is fishing, cricket, tennis, volleyball, golf. And on the water, wave runners and jet skis. Indoors, there is table tennis, pools and darts.
