Yes, to an extent. Dry goods and non-perishables can be put into a checked bag. You can also pack frozen meat in a cooler to be checked. Duty-free liquor is fine.

We buy all of your groceries ahead of time and have them waiting at the house for us. Joanna have already cooked your welcome meal as you will have agreed on a menu and grocery list ahead of time.
Is there air conditioning upstairs?
No. The floor plan upstairs is open and the angle of the house invites a steady, cooling breeze all day. We do have ceiling and table fans spread out as well. The fresh air is invigorating and healing and we have never had complaints about too much heat.
Are there extra beds or mattresses at the house?
Yes, We have 2 daybeds in the upstairs great room and 2 single inflatable blow up mattresses.
Should i bring cash or are there ATMs?
There are no ATMs on Parrot Cay. We recommend bringing cash for: tips (house manager/housekeeper/chef/masseuse/driver/boat), airport taxi, and Mac Campbell (if you would like a tour of North Caicos). There are ATMs on Providenciales but we find that once guests arrive on Parrot Cay they hardly leave. If you run out of cash, no problem. You can Venmo us.
Is The Lodge affiliated with COMO Parrot Cay Resort?
No. Though we share the island with COMO Parrot Cay Resort, we are a private residence and the COMO Resort facilities and amenities are completely separate and for their guests only.
