DO I HAVE WIFI WHEN ELECTRICITY GOES DOWN AT LA PALMERAIE BAHAMAS?
Many guests want to know how stable Wifi in Harbour Island is during their stay. The island does offer internet access, but the local network depends on the electrical grid. When the power goes down, the WiFi in most villas stops working. Even if your rental has a generator, the regular modems and the island’s broadband systems often remain offline. Therefore, many travelers discover that the internet does not return immediately after the lights and air conditioning turn back on. This limitation can affect many Harbour Island luxury rentals that rely only on the standard network.
To reduce this inconvenience, some villas now use alternative solutions. For example, a few Harbour Island luxury rentals offer mobile hotspots. These can help in light outages, but they still rely on local cell towers. During strong outages, the cellular network can become weak or unstable. Because of this, hotspots are not always reliable.
Starlink satellite internet provides a much stronger solution. It works independently from the island’s terrestrial network. As long as your villa has power, Starlink will continue to deliver a stable signal. The system does not depend on local broadband or cell towers, so outages have far less impact on your connection. This reliability is a major advantage for guests who need to work, stream, or stay in touch with family during their trip.
At La Palmeraie Bahamas, we use both modern generators and Starlink. Therefore, we maintain Wifi in Harbour Island even when the local grid fails. Our backup systems keep essential services running during outages, including lighting, cooling, appliances, and internet. This preparation ensures that guests can enjoy comfort and stability throughout their stay.
We understand that reliable internet is part of a luxury experience. That is why we invest heavily in technology that protects your comfort and supports a smooth and enjoyable visit to Harbour Island.
