Ghyd Member Lounge is the travel companion for members of Ghyd, a private members' club that plans and hosts trips to Costa Rica, Panama and beyond. Access is by invitation. If a trip has been booked for you — or a trip organizer has added you as a companion — sign in with the email address the invitation was sent to. There is no public sign-up: the app only works for members and travel companions with a trip on file. Once you're in, everything about your trip is in one place: • Your trip at a glance — the villa, the dates, the countdown, and who's traveling with you. • Itinerary — every day of the trip, with the experiences you've booked and anything you add yourself. • Experiences — private chefs, airport transfers, tours and adventures, spa treatments and grocery pre-stocking, curated for your destination and booked in a few taps. • Flights — add your legs, follow live status, terminals and gates, and keep your boarding pass on hand. • The villa and the area — your home for the week, the neighborhood, and the places worth knowing. • Messages — a direct line to the Ghyd team throughout your trip. • Traveler info — contact details, passport, dietary needs and emergency contact, so the team can look after you properly. Bookings made in the app are real-world services delivered in person by Ghyd and its partners, paid securely by card. Ghyd Member Lounge is for existing Ghyd members.
