Group organizers carry other people’s safety, so it is the right question to ask. Here is how a stay at Las Canas works, and what is close by.
How safety works at Las Canas
- A gated property. When your group books, the gate closes and the grounds are yours.
- 24 hour security on site, every day of your stay.
- No other guests. Las Canas is booked by one group at a time.
- Arranged transport. We book your airport transfers and the rides to excursions and nights out, so nobody has to flag down a car.
- A full time team. Hosts, housekeeping and maintenance are on the property and know the area.
