Question for Blamona re: Tuscany vs. West Bay, Turks and Caicos

Both of these cost about the same for a mid-November vacation. Which one would you choose? Thanks so much, Blamona!

As Blamona I'll be first to reply.

You have stayed at WBC and knw how wonderful it is.

There are times I have to split my stay because I can't decide! There's not a bad place tovstay there, they all just have different personalities.

On this trip you should check out other prooerties, they are always willing to show you rooms for future trips, and all are gorgeous.

Tuscany is on the other end of the beach. Far from snorkeling, but gorgeous secluded stretches of Grace Bay. No restaurant on sight, but close to main hub, easy drive to everything.

Tuscany has gorgeous rooms. One of the managers, Shawnamae, is awesome. Dane at WBC is awesome. Love the way both are decorated. Tuscany really close to golf, and the main hub.

Tough choice.

Sorry I didn't help much!

Thank you very much, Blamona. I know. Tough call. BUT... does Tuscany offer easier access to the restaurants/grocery store? I just can't tell from the map. We are traveling with my MIL ( 84) so it would be nice to be closer in to where we want to go. Thanks again!

Why not consider Seven Stars? Gorgeous resort, middle of the hub. Across from IGA Gormet supermarket, small shopping strips and restaurants.

Tuscany is at the very end, past Tuscany. A little closer to the hub, but you're talking minutes different from WBC.

Call Seven Stars directly see if they can still honor the awesome Facebook sale they just had. Ask for ygrit (sorry about spelling) and tell her you "like" the Seven Stars page of FB.

Tuscany is gorgeous, beautiful pool. Still need a car to get around as it's at the end ( the opposite end from WBC ). So I suggest a car for either of your choices.

Can't snorkel from that end, you'll need a car and head down towards WBC.

Seven Stars also has an awesome Deck by the beach with tiki torches, fire pits, live awesome music. (NaDa).bonfires on Sunday's. Best atmosphere on the island.

Thanks again for the info! I will call Seven Stars and see what they have on offer. Their online prices are astronomical!
