Our Traveller’s Portal is a custom made concierge data center where all your trip planning happens.

After booking you will receive an email with a link to the portal form. This form collects pertinent information about your group so that your concierge can best assist with planning your stay.

Guest & Transport Details

You will first enter the names & email address of all your guests. You can choose to fill out your whole group’s information yourself or assign specific people as “leaders” of a subgroup. Anyone who is not a leader needs to be assigned to subgroup.

We use numbers to indicate which subgroup each person is assigned to. For example the Primary guest is always Group 1. Anyone else who the primary guest is filling out information for should be assigned to Group 1 as well.

Leaders will also receive a link to their section of the portal form so they can fill in details for themselves and any persons assigned to their sub-group.

The primary and leaders will be able to fill in international flight information for each person in their group, as well as indicate their preference for in-country transport for their group. Once this is filled out the concierge will reach out to book in-country transportation.

Meals & Provisions

The primary and leaders will be able to see the sample chef service menu and select dietary restrictions per person and note any allergies the chef needs to aware of.

In the portal you’ll be able to make substitution notes, select dietary restrictions and note any food allergies our chef should be aware of for each person in your group.

The menu can still be subject to change due to availability of ingredients, but the chef will make adequate substitutions.

In addition to the menu, there is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive.

You have the option to pay the bulk of your bill directly to the grocer by Zelle or physically at the store by credit card. Some fresh food items require cash payment to the Chef. The chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions and copies of receipts; nothing will be marked up. The food cost is usually$35-$45 per person per day if you stick with the sample menu. There is a one-time $10 trip charge added to the final invoice which covers the chef’s fuel and vehicle.

Additional chef service days can be added on to your reservation for $100/day and purchased on our online store.

During your stay the chef will provide you with an invoice and copies of receipts; nothing will be marked up. You will then reimburse them in cash.

Yes, and we have some fishing poles but if you are really into fishing we suggest bringing your own gear.

All fishing at LHC is strickly catch and release. Since building the island we have had a very good resident fish population that we want to keep and allow all guests to be able to catch and enjoy during their stay.

The Enclave is surrounded by shallow coral reef that provides for various marine life. Fishing is typically very good off the back side of the island and dock as the water is deeper and on leeward side of the island so usually protected from large waves.

We have a great local staff that consists of a chef, housekeepers, boat captain and a night watchman/gardener. All live on the island in the separate staff house.

Most of the island is surrounded by rocks to avoid erosion but there is a beach area with a sandy graded entry. The beach on the island is cleaned and maintained by the staff. The water is warm and with a sandy bottom suitable for swimming. There are normally no large waves or undercurrent issues. You do occasionally find jelly fish but that can’t really be avoided in any ocean.
