Baymahni Resort, a luxury property undergoing a transformative renovation on Stocking Island in the Bahamas, has chosen Aptech’s PVNG accounting solution to manage its finances during its development phase and ongoing operations. The resort, set to open for reservations in summer 2025, will leverage PVNG’s intuitive and hospitality-specific tools to ensure efficient financial oversight as it redefines its guest experience.
Occupying the former Kahari Resort site and an additional 40-acre plot, Baymahni is poised to become a premier destination in the Bahamas. The property is undergoing a complete overhaul, including the renovation of 14 two-bedroom beach bungalows, the addition of a restaurant, bar, and pool complex, as well as new spa bungalows and 13 private villas.
Chief Financial Officer, Karen Quaile, spearheaded the search for a robust financial management solution. After evaluating multiple options, she selected Aptech’s PVNG for its tailored approach to hospitality accounting. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions requiring extensive customisation, PVNG’s preconfigured chart of accounts and user-friendly interface allowed Baymahni to hit the ground running with minimal setup.
“We needed a system that could handle the complexities of a resort undergoing both construction and operations,” said Quaile. “PVNG by Aptech stood out for its simplicity, efficiency, and ability to grow with us. It’s transformed how we manage our finances, from sourcing and renovation planning to daily operations.”
PVNG’s real-time transaction processing eliminates the delays of traditional batch posting, providing Baymahni’s team with up-to-date financial insights. Seamless integration with the resort’s Cloudbeds property management system (PMS) ensures data flows smoothly between platforms, reducing errors and saving time.
The system’s flexibility is a major asset for Baymahni as it navigates the demands of construction while laying the foundation for long-term operational success. Its streamlined workflows and actionable dashboards allow the team to focus on delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Steve Harbaugh, Baymahni’s principal owner and an experienced real estate developer, emphasised the importance of selecting the right financial tools. “Our vision is to create a world-class destination that blends luxury with the natural beauty of Stocking Island. Aptech’s PVNG solution ensures that we stay on track financially, from budgeting and forecasting to daily operations.”
As Baymahni positions itself as a leading destination in the Bahamas, its partnership with Aptech reflects a commitment to operational excellence. Aptech’s suite of solutions, used by over 3,500 hotels across North America, includes tools like Execuvue® and Targetvue, providing hoteliers with critical insights into financial and operational performance.
With its renovations underway and financial systems in place, Baymahni Resort is on track to redefine luxury hospitality in the Bahamas. Aptech’s PVNG solution will play a vital role in this journey, supporting the resort’s vision of delivering unforgettable experiences while maintaining impeccable financial management.
