The last couple of weeks we have lost power on the island a few times. The Mini Splits take such little power to operate my small portable Honda generator easily ran all three units plus whatever else was on on the house with ease.

Dan, I don't want to insult you here, but I find this hard to believe. Even small ACs use a lot of power, trying to run one with a generator that is too small will severely shorten its life if you get it to start. You need to make sure your generator is large enough to start the compressor and keep it running, if you want to run 3 of them, then you need even more capacity. The smallest mini I could find required 9 amps to run, at 115 volts this is over 1,000 watts, just for the outside unit. To run 3 of these units at the same time requires a large generator. Again, under powering these units can burn them out. I would hate to see you with a large replacement bill.....
