Wahoo! Vacation is reserved, and we're counting the weeks until August.

After a lot research, and a lot of help from Turks and Caicos Reservations (I can't say enough nice things about them), we decided on a two bedroom condo at LeVele. We'll also be ocean front.

When we first started planning our return vacation, it was only going to be my wife, 7 year old daughter, and me. Plans changed after showing my mother in law pictures of our January vacation, so you can probably guess what happened next. We quickly became a vacationing family of four. lol

This should work out nice, because it allows my wife and me to have a night or two out, just us. We don't see too many of those.

LeVele was one of the resorts we visited during our walk down Grace Bay in January. For some reason, it seemed more like a private residence than a hotel. My wife and I both said it was the kind of place we'd like to get away to, if we went away as a couple, but we also like that our daughter can almost have the beach and pool to her own. It's as close as we can find to a private villa, that's still a resort.

We looked at other resorts, but Turks and Caicos Reservations was able to get us a really great deal at LeVele. Man, are they ever great at what they do! They get my highest recommendation, and thanks to everyone who recommended them to us.

One question, how far is the snorkeling location from Beaches Resort? We walked from Villa del Mar to Beaches, but I don't think we saw the snorkeling area. The map shows it very close, so maybe we didn't know it was there. Also, I've read that it's a good place for children to learn snorkeling. Opinions?
