I know the beach is going to be beautiful. But will it be crowded? Thinking of going in May, and we like empty, quiet beaches.

Anyone?

I was on Provo in early December.<BR><BR>The beaches in front of the main hotels (Beaches/Allegro/Club Med) were busy, but if you walked down the beach for 5 minutes you could almost have it to yourself.

Provo beaches are never what I would call crowded (except maybe the part of the beach in front of the Beaches Resort). The Grace Bay Beach (on which all the resorts are located) runs for about 16k - so if you want a little solitude just take a short walk along the beach. When I was there last ( a couple of years ago) the beach in front of the Sands was quite quiet.

Hi Fran,<BR><BR>I stayed at the Sands last year at the end of May. it was wonderful!! the beach was NEVER crowded and it was spectacular. the Sands has great accomodations, pools, and restaurant (Hemingways). <BR>have a wonderful time!

I just booked my trip to the Sands for the end of April. My travel agent was saying that there wasn't much around on Grace Bay in terms of restaurants. She stayed at Beaches though. I was wondering if you could tell me where else you ate besides Hemingways and how far from the hotel? Can I get by without renting a car?

We just returned from Provo last week, and the beaches along the stretch from The Mansions, Point Grace, The Sands up to Beaches were nearly deserted. Many of the places were only half occupied.<BR>By April or May, who knows?<BR>Other restaurants you might try are:<BR>Coyaba (Coral Gardens) excellent food, (the best on the island in my opinion),<BR>Anacaona (Grace Bay Club), and Bella Luna (Across from Allegro). There are three less expensive places in the Ports of Call shopping center (across from Allegro): Lattitudes Tavern & Grill, Barefoot Cafe and Calico Jacks.<BR>Enjoy your trip,<BR>Bob
