Family Project Guyana

Our group will stay at the Ocean Spray International Hotel, just a bit outside of the center of Georgetown, and close to the “seawall”—the literal wall that protects Georgetown from the Caribbean since the city is six feet below sea level.

The hotel ranges between a 1-star and a 2-star hotel, depending on how you rate hotels. We chose this hotel because it’s adequate, safe, and clean, and it keeps the participation fee manageable for volunteers. We mention this in advance so you can adjust your expectations for the mission trip.

The hotel is clean and provides bedding and towels, private bathrooms, hot water, and air conditioning. We recommend that you bring your own pillow and washcloths though. A small air freshener might be good to bring as well as some of the rooms can be musty due to the proximity to the ocean and the age of the building. Wi-Fi is available, but slow and does not work consistently. There is also a simple swimming pool at the hotel.

Our group will be using the kitchen and dining room for our meals, plus there is a meeting room for our evening worships and socializing times.
