I highly recommend Hollywood Beach Suites to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing and secluded vacation. The setting is lovely and peaceful, the accommodations comfy and well stocked for any adventure you want to have, and the beaches are private and perfect for natural sunbathing. My fiance asked me to marry him on Whitby Beach - pure romance! We'll be back as often as possible. |

We came back kicking and screaming, not wanting to return to "real life". Hollywood Beach Suites offered us the perfect setting for us to be able to reach a level of relaxation we have not received any where else. Once we step off the ferry Alveda approached us immediately and at that point we knew we were in good hands. We could instantly relax, she gave great advice, good direction and served us amazing food. Upon arriving at our suite it was absolutely perfect for us (the bed was so comfortable, and the pillows were the best I've ever laid on.) we had the perfect amount of space with the perfect amount of necessary tools we needed to relax. We will most definitely be back (very soon) and recommend everyone to Hollywood Beach Suites (although we must admit we would like to keep our special place a secret). Thank you very much for you top notch service in such a beautiful place |

We returned Monday night renewed, recharge, and reenergized! What a BEAUTIFUL place you have at Turks & Caicos! Our stay was just what we dreamed about.......stunning turquoise water, snorkeling, sight seeing, trying new food, and building new friendships. The seclusion is just what we needed! My list could go on and on. Our stay was as close to heaven as it gets here on Earth. How is this possible? Great service from Alveda! Gosh! Can Alveda cook! This caring person helped our vacation surpass all expectations! I recommended Hollywood Beach Suites to two people at Provo Airport before we even departed; they wrote down your web address. One of my friends from Azle wants to go with her husband, too. She can't wait to see my pictures! |

The setting is romantic and beautiful. We couldn't be happier and will go back. I do have a few suggestions. The thatch roof needs to be fixed on the table outside because it can rain on as you are eating. If it rains have mosquito spray. |

This is the most amazing facility. They have beach chairs set out for all the cruise passengers, and the shops are all friendly. I bought an art piece from the shop in the facility for half of what it would have cost in the states. Don't forget Margaritaville! |

Never have I seen such an amazing beach. The water looks like pool water it is so clear. The weather was unbeleivable and Club Med had EVERYTHING to offer. They had music every night, a huge buffet of food (not a gross buffet, but actually really yummy food), sailing lessons and once you learn you could take your own catamaran out. We did a trip to a remote island with them one day that is also FREE if you are staying there and got to explore Iguana Cay which is beautiful too. If you want to stay somewhere where they know how to have fun and make your trip both romantic and adventurous, this is the place to go. I will say it again, there will never be a prettier beach you will see! We got an insane deal on our trip too because we booked through www.thetravelmerchant.com, they are so great at getting you everything you want included in your trip to make it perfect. |

Good snorkeling was available. Also, it was close to restaurants, the supermarket and casinos. In addition, the rooms were very nice. There were no surprises here at all. Andrew was very helpful! I have stayed on the south side of Provo before and enjoyed it, but this was less isolated and better for diving. |

I have traveled all over the Caribbean and stayed at many four- and five-star resorts that put this place to shame. The property is antiquiated and is in need of a major renovation. Everything about this place is spartan at best. The grounds are clean, but unattractive and lacking any type of landscaping that resembles a tropical resort. They could take a lesson by visiting any Iberostar or Occidental property just to name a few. The GOs were friendly enough. However, the "locals" who worked at the resort were downright rude. The beach lacked shady spots only having ten palapas available for shade! The food was very good, although dining room service was lacking. Perhaps the worst part about my stay was that at some point after removing my valubles from the room safe and checking out, about an hours time that my bags were out of my site, someone apparently entered my room and relieved me of $450. I also had left a pair of swim trunks in the room and was told that the maid did not find them there upon cleaning the room! They will even steal your swim trunks! This place uses the old style "key" for room entry and not a magnetic card so anyone who works here could possibly have a key and access to your room at any time while you are not in your room. When I called to report the missing money and swim trunks I was not allowed to talk to Max (the manager), and it took the resort 24 hours to call me back reporting that they had "interviewed" the housekeeper. In summary, the great beach and food alone do not a resort make! Don't waste your time or money at this one! |

My wife and I, and two dear friends just returned from staying five nights at Coral Gardens. We enjoyed it so much. We stayed in a two-bedroom Grand Ocean Suite that was fantastic. When you open up those glass doors that make up the wall looking out to the ocean, it is just breathtaking. Of course, we were there mainly to be on the beach and we did not have to go far as it was just right 20 yards or so away. The beach was fantastic, the water was perfect, and the snorkeling was awesome. Best of all, it was all right in front of our hotel. It felt private and away from all the gigantic, massive resorts not too far away. There were only a couple of downsides. First, the restaurants were all closed for some reason that we could never quite ascertain. All the other restaurants on the island were open, so it could not have been a seasonal thing. However, there was wonderful food was close by. We actually brought a lot of our own food, so we had breakfast and lunch in the room. We also brought plenty of snacks (both food and drink) that we could take down to the beach and enjoy. The other thing was that there was a hotel or condo half built right next door that had been abandoned. It was very ugly. We were so glad we did not have a view of that from our room. However, you could see it from the beach and from the ocean. It really was an eyesore. It needs to be torn down, as it looks like it won't ever be finished. Otherwise, it was just an awesome experience. We look forward to going back as soon as possible. |

I was here Labor Day weekend. It was a very quiet time on the island. The resort and the staff were wonderful. Despite it being off-season and worrying about tropical storm erica, the weather was just as wonderful. The resort does not have five-star dining (I understand the main building is to be built), but what they have is lovely. You don't pay top dollar, but have a top dollar location--largest stretch of beach and walking distance to great restaurants. |

If you prefer all-inclusive resorts, U.S. chain stores, rowdy nightclubs, lots of shopping, and a busy beach scene, go to Providenciales. If you are looking for your own private getaway, where often you have the beach to yourself, try Grand Turk. It's rustic, and quite undeveloped (with the exception of the cruise terminal at one end of the island). I've stayed at Osprey Beach Hotel twice. It's a true beachfront hotel, and their open air restaurant will let you see a perfect sunset view every evening. Grand Turk being the scuba diving destination that it is, the dive boats pick you up right in front of the hotel. Nice. The hotel restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily, and other nearby restaurants serve breakfast. My room had a full kitchen, so I bought groceries at Cee's grocery, which was within walking distance. It appears that they must get most of their food from Costco or Sam's Club, as many of the name brands were familiar to me. The prices were a little more expensive than in the states, but it makes sense when you realize that everything has to be shipped or flown in to the island. Twice a week there is a BBQ night at Osprey Beach Hotel and the whole island seems to turn out for it. It's great food, and best of all is the music from the High Tide Band (I liked the saw player). Overall, this is a nice place to stay, not too fancy, with friendly staff and guests. Nothing happens in a hurry, and that seems just right for a Caribbean vacation, doesn't it? |

If you're looking for a totally secluded and private vacation with full butler services and all the modern luxuries of the states, then Lucky House Parrot Cay is your pad. The pool was a constant 90 deg. and the home was immaculate and ever relaxing. Twenty steps to your own secluded beach/sunsets too. PS ask for Roby as your butler!! |

My husband and I had our first visit to Turks and Caicos, and found Harbour Club Villas to be an excellent place to stay. Our week with Marta and Barry could not have been better. They have six villas on a beautiful hillside overlooking a lake with the marina just behind the villas. The villa was clean and had everything we needed - big fluffy towels, kitchen with all necessary items and loads of books to choose from when we wanted to kick back. Also, beautiful flowers just magically appeared every day at our villa. Marta and Barry can fill you in on all the great things to see and do - private beaches, great restaurants, and drives to remote places on the island. They are easily accessible because their home is on the property. I can't imagine returning to Provo and not staying with them! |

The villa was very plush and well equipped. We would definitely stay here again if we visited Turks. It is highly recommended for the location and amenities. |

This was our second stay at Harbour Club, and it was every bit as good as our first visit in late 2005. Marta and Barry are the most excellent hosts, and couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Marta did some shopping for essentials for us (beers - the supermarkets are dry on Sundays) prior to our arrival. They also gave us a ride to and from the store to re-stock the fridge during our stay. Harbour Club is well away from the main road, so the place is very quiet and peaceful. Usually the only noise you ever hear is from the occasional car on the dirt road at the bottom of the driveway. We had rented two units, one for ourselves and one for our American friends, Jeff and Cheryll. Harbour Club has six identical villas available, and each is very comfortable for two. However, this would also be a good choice for a family or a larger group. We originally chose the location based on a recommendation from Jayne and Mickey at Flamingo Divers (an easy five-minute walk around the dock). Each villa has a full kitchen, large living/dining area with additional fold-away bed, a separate queen bedroom and a bathroom with a decent shower. Outside there is a small shared pool and communal barbecue. Several of the island's dive operators moor their boats in the marina just 200 yards from the villas - making this a great base for a dive trip. Our favorite has always been Flamingo Divers, but you have plenty of choice if you can't get booked with Jayne and Mickey. Provo is a large island given its population, so unless you intend fixing your own meals every night, you'll probably want to rent a car. If you do, I suggest you avoid the airport rentals and go for one of the cheaper off-airport options. Taxis are okay for a night or two, but beyond that, they become very expensive. |

The resort was beautiful. The best part was it was all inclusive, which kept the costs down. It's also a great place if you have kids. The food was pretty good, though not excellent. However, the scenery was top notch. We will definitely go back on our anniversary! |

Normally I like to stay right on the beach. If I could set up a tent and sleep on the beach, I would! But being highly recommended, I stayed at Tradewinds. I wasn't disappointed. Even though it's not right on the beach, I could see the sparkling waters from the condo balcony, and it was just a short walk away. I had no problems getting around or finding places to eat, either. In addition, the room was clean and comfy. Overall, it was a neat place to stay! |

We just got back from a week at La Salamandre and we loved it. As soon as we arrived at the house we were met by the owner bringing wine and food. What a warm welcome! The house was gorgeous, the secluded beach was fantastic, and the animals were a delight....especially Olie. It's so quite and peaceful here yet you're just a short distance to shopping and the activity of casinos. It is definitely a great place to stay. |

I loved the spacious condos and the tastefully decorated, clean condo apartments at Tradewinds. When I travel, I need to feel at home and not cramped up. The spacious kitchen gave me the opportunity to cook if I wanted to. There are some good dining options within walking distance of the hotel, too (no restaurants onsite). I loved the look and feel of the well manicured gardens and pool area. It was very relaxing! Of course, there's a beautiful white sand beach nearby, which is why I love this hotel so much! I would definitely recommend it to others (especially groups or families)! |
