This was my fourth (and final) time at Club Med Turks. It used to be a great place for fun, young, singles. I brought a friend with me - it was her first time - and was actually embarrassed about how much I had talked up how much fun we would have when we arrived.
The guests were much older - retirement and above - and overall most were couples. Afternoon pool volleyball with drinking was replaced by 70-year-old women moving your towel and book to another chair while you get up for five minutes.
While I have much respect for the elderly - this was not the Turks that kept me coming back for more. There were not that many singles in their 20s and 30s at all. Everything seemed slower and duller. |

We chose Harbour Club Villas from internet recommendations, and we were not disappointed.
We were looking for a place out of the busy area of Grace Bay with a separate bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen at a reasonable price. We certainly found it.
It was no surprise that we were very well taken care of by Barry and Marta. They lived up to their reputation in these reviews. Marta is such an inveterately helpful person, that even as we were leaving to go on to North Caicos, she told us how to find the special places there and gave us an extra styrofoam cooler to take our food in.
The villa was attractive, spacious and comfortable - and had everything we needed. When a friend came to join us for the last two nights of our stay, Marta rearranged all the furniture in the living area, so we could have the sofa sleeper open and off to one side and still have a good sitting arrangement on the other side. I never would have asked her to do that, but I was delighted that she did.
Making arrangements with Harbour Club was very easy. My emails were answered promptly, and they volunteered to make our car reservation with Scooter Bob.
We recommend the villas for anyone who is looking for home-like accommodations and helpful hosts.

They had very friendly and professional staff. It was an outstanding value, and was the highlight of our trip to Turks and Caicos.
It was an awesome experience. |

We stayed in an oceanfront, two-bedroom condo, and everything was perfect.
Mike, the manager, was great. Nothing was too much trouble.
This is our favorite resort on Provo. We will be back! |

Royal West is a delightful place to stay right on Grace Bay Beach. It is relatively new - opened in 2000. It's also attractive for couples or small families as there is enough private space and a great beach to roam.
The rooms are not over the top, but are not sub-par by any means. The restaurant is adequate for lunch and dinner, and is neither expensive or inexpensive. There are at least three great dinner spots within walking distance (Coco Bistro, Anacaona, and Coyaba) that vary in price. But the food quality is generally good on Turks.
This was our sixth stay at RWI, and it is always worth it. After this amount of time, we know how to approach cabbies, and are familiar with the restaurants.
Take advantage of the IGA - especially for spirits/wine and snacks. Pay attention to wine list pricing, so you don't feel abused. Also, enjoy the weather, beach and scenery. This is a great island and a great place.
We rate this location as three stars because it lacks first class linens and other in room accoutrements. But overall, it is a quiet secure location that is not overpriced and is on the beach. We have never been dissatisfied here, and always meet nice people from many places, it is highly recomended by us even at three stars. |

After five days in Provo, my girlfriend and I wanted to spend our final four days in Turks and Caicos by ourselves in total relaxation at a hotel in North Caicos. After some online research, we discovered the St. Charles, which was billed as a four-star resort on North Caicos.
Our nightmare started to unfold when I saw that the driveway to the St. Charles was an open construction pit with three pickup trucks, some strewn garbage and a temporary wooden fence separating it from the rest of the resort.
Upon walking into the resort, I discovered that the St. Charles was situated right next to the North Caicos Community Center. Consequently, there were around 25 noisy “non-guests” in various stages of drunkenness enjoying themselves in and around the resort’s pool area (including drinking at the bar).
I do not want to come across as some sort of elitist snob and while on vacation, I enjoy interacting with the locals. However, we were looking for tranquility and solitude in North Caicos, not a noisy party environment (The St. Charles website boasts of how the resort was designed with “exclusivity and serenity” in mind).
Additionally, it doesn’t seem to be fair to charge guests around $400/night (including taxes) to stay at the resort, when anyone can just come in and take over the pool. |

Sublime, Providenciales traveler review

We have stayed in this villa before, and have booked again for this year. Away from the hub bub of Grace Bay, we found peace and tranquility here. We never saw a soul - apart from the maid.
The villa was spatious and bright, with beautiful views from the master suite (including the bathroom).
The downside? The holiday was just too short. |

This was my second time at White Sands, and I still love this place.
However, I was the only guest, so they closed the restaurant due to labor problems. As a result, I was really stuck for meals.
In addition, the pool was not operational.
I would go back provided these problems are fixed, though. |

Grace's Cottage was in a wonderful setting, hidden in the gardens around the little cottage.
The food was excellent. It was one of my favorite restaurants on the island. |

We stayed at the Harbour Club Villas for ten nights this February, and loved every minute of it.
It was a small resort, only six villas, but that is the way we like it. We like to stay at quiet places, not on the main drag with all of the noise and people that come along with that.
It was only a short drive to anywhere we wanted to go, as the island was not very big.
Barry and Marta were the most perfect hosts we've ever had. They were very friendly and helpful, and they made us feel right at home.
We felt that the beaches in TCI were the best that we have experienced, and we have been to some nice ones! Most of them were fairly private, but even Grace Bay, which had more people and hotels, wasn't really all that crowded.
All in all, we would give this resort and this island a ten out of ten! |

Wow! Shat a great place we found. We looked around all over and fell upon this place advertised on the Internet by the owners.
The place was the best decorated place we have ever rented. They even left bottles of wine out for our enjoyment. They had beautiful furniture and a balcony that made us smile whenever we went on it. You only see water and beach and reef.
The resort staff was very friendly, and the grounds were very nicely landscaped. The food was okay, but there were many places close by to enjoy.
I cannot wait to return and enjoy our home away from home. |

My wife and I visited Provo in November 2007 to celebrate our ten-year anniversary.
Barry and Marta, the owners, completed the picture perfect week. When we arrived at the villas, we were met by Barry and Marta who welcomed us to the island and to their villas. They spent ½ hr explaining things we needed to know about the island.
As this was our first visit, we would consult Barry and Marta. Their knowledge of the island was very helpful, and they were able to direct us to many secluded beaches. They made us feel like we were had been longtime friends.
Even before the week started, Barry and Marta were extremely helpful - making a car reservation for us - offered to buy alcohol for us so it was cold in the frig when we arrived.
The villa was perfect. It was one bedroom, one bath, with a full kitchen - including microwave, coffee maker, a full fridge, dishes, pots, and pans. The room also had satellite TV. The bedroom was just the right size with plenty of closet and drawer space. The bedrooms also had a wall unit air conditioner.
There was a dining room table, which we used to play cards at night. However, meals we had at the villa (mostly breakfast) were eaten on the patio right outside the villa overlooking Flamingo Lake and surrounding palm trees.
The vacation could not have been better, and it was in large part due to Barry and Marta. Thank you! |

Grace Bay Club, Providenciales traveler review
| I have reservations about the Grace Bay Club. Visited: November 1999 |
| Posted by tbmay |
|
I have not even checked in yet, and my experience thus far has all been negative by the ethics and attitude of the reservation staff.
I booked a junior suite three months ago (that their website indicated was over 1,000 square feet). I learned this week that it is a suite of only 600+ square feet.
The attitude of their staff seems surly and indifferent. Why do they have a 4.5 star rating? |

We spent 13 days at the Harbour Club Villas and Marina over Christmas 2007. It was great!
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe what delightful, helpful, and fun hosts Barry and Marta were. Even before we arrived, Marta was so helpful over the Internet answering questions, helping with car arrangements, and making dining recommendations. From the moment we arrived, both Marta and Barry did everything imaginable to make our stay enjoyable.
The facilities were perfect for us. If you are someone who wants big, fancy, crowded hotel-type accommodations, don’t stay here. If you are someone who needs to be right on the beach and want a bar and/or restaurant right outside your door, don’t stay here either.
However, if you are someone who wants peace and quiet, nice views, no crowds, privacy, spacious accommodations, and don’t mind driving a bit to your choice of a variety of great beaches, or a variety of great restaurants (or maybe even B-B-Q-ing your own dinner while watching an absolutely gorgeous sunset), Harbour Club might just be the place for you.
We give Harbour Club Villas and Marina a ten out of ten!

We stayed at Villa Renaissance this past September - it was our fifth time staying here. We have stayed at other properties on the island, but keep coming back (and it only gets better!).
Ben, the manager (who came here about two years ago), has done wonderful things with the property. He has also improved the service level immensely. We are eagerly awaiting the opening of its sister property - The Regent Grand - which will be more upscale (and which Ben will also manage). I don't think you can go wrong at either.
The residences are well equipped, and are great for families, couples, or friends traveling together. If you like a nice property that's a good value for your vacation dollar, I would seriously consider staying here. |

From Europe, we first spent a few days in Miami and then went to the Turks for our second stay. Of course, the weather and the beach were phenomenal. Also, the Sands was perfect.
The restaurant served perfect food, and a good price and quality - especially with the good euro/dollar rating!
Also, try diving! We saw whales on our boat trip towards our dive-stop. It was perfect. And just off the shore outside the Sands, we saw Jojo the dolphin!
We had a great stay, and are looking forward for our next visit! |

Club Med Turkoise was awesome. The people, the food, and the whole atmosphere of the place was out of this world.
Being from the great white north (Canada), the only white we see here is snow. The beatiful white sand beach was breathtaking.
Also, the GOs were fantastic. Even the locals made us feel right at home.
I am looking out my window, and we received 30 cm of snow since last night. It's going to be a long long winter. I am going back next November for sure! |

Northwest Point Resort is located on a spit of land away from the crowds and congestions of downtown and the Grace Bay area. It is well worth the drive to get to this lovely place. It is serene and quiet, with magnificent beaches and waters, and is an invigorating 45-minute walk to the end of the point.
Friendly staff and well-groomed gardens and facilities add to the attractiveness of this resort. |

Starfish Villa, Providenciales traveler review

I had an excellent time at Starfish. The villa was very beautiful. It was well maintained, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The big veranda was my favorite spot - the view was just incredible, and I loved the painted palms!
I took a walk on the beach every morning, and found great sponges! I also enjoyed fresh conch (right out of the ocean) at the Conch Shack. |

We’ve had a fabulous honeymoon vacation at the Harbour Club Villas with Marta and Barry. They were superb hosts - very friendly, fun to talk with, and full of helpful advice. They’ve built a beautiful vacation spot, lush with all sorts of great and interesting plants.
The villas were comfortable and spacious, and came with great extras like soft towels, a lovely bed, nice soaps, and fresh flowers every day. There was also great water pressure, and we did our laundry. We enjoyed spending time under the shaded area by the pool.
We had fun doing the following activities:
1. Diving with Caicos Adventures. We had a great time. We went on 11 dives and saw turtles, sharks, many fishes and sea creatures. We even saw a manta ray! On each day, the staff was helpful and friendly.
2. Night diving with Matthew at Cactus Voyager (located at the Coral Gardens resort). We saw many turtles, squid, corals, sleeping fish and an octopus.
3. Snorkeling at Coral Gardens and Malcolm’s Road. The snorkeling at Coral Gardens was the best we saw, but the area is under recovery and needs time to come back. Snorkeling was not the best because it is mostly sand with little coral and less than abundant life.
4. Beach relaxation. We had a great time relaxing at Malcolm’s Road Beach, South Bluff, and many little beaches off Venetian Road - shown to us by Marta. South Bluff was a great time, as there was a cave with a ladder leading to the top of the bluff to look out over the ocean.
We bought food from the IGA supermarket for most breakfasts and lunches. We ate some dinners in the villa, but we enjoyed the following restaurants:
1. Da Conch Shack offered a very relaxing atmosphere with conch prepared in a variety of ways. Be prepared that the credit card machine might be down and a full menu is not always available. It was also a little pricey.
2. Grace’s Cottage was more expensive, but really great. They served creative food, in a beautiful setting and provided fabulous service.
3. Coco Bistro was Like Grace’s Cottage on the expensive side with a palm tree studded ambiance and good food and service.
4. Seaside Café at Ocean Club West offered standard breakfast fare that was prepared well. The service was also good.
In addition, the 4WD jeep was essential to get to all locations, not all roads are paved or mapped.
We had an excellent stay in Turks and Caicos with many thanks to our hosts Marta and Barry. |
