Beautiful Beach - which hotel
 
Hi - Which hotel in T&C is near the best beach - I like calm, crystal clear water - and white soft sand....is the best beach Grace Bay Beach?

There are many beautiful beaches on T&C but, Grace Bay IMO is the most beautiful. Clear Aqua water almost can not describe the color... We have visited many times ( Just this past January and going back this summer) The main resort area is Grace Bay with many condo resorts. It is easy to walk from one to the next for great dining. Check out The Somerset, it's a fantastic resort and running a free night special. www.thesomerset.com Beautiful suites, Viking kitchens, marble everything, 2 restaurants and beautiful pool...excellent staff and well run resort. If you want a car: Car rentals thru Grace Bay Car Rentals are excellent. Older cars, great service and excellent prices.

any suggestions for a more boutique or budget type property? I'd rather spend the money eating out and taking day trips :) Thanks!

Sure, prior to The Somerset and The Palms for us we stayed at The Sands ( great location, 2 resorts down from the Somerset, stayed there twice) also check out Royal West Indies, and for very budget minded check out Sibonne, it's an older motel type property, has a great restaurant, Bay Bistro. Sits on the same beach ( Grace bay) as all of the other hi-end resorts.

Great - thanks Caribzack! Seems like there are good deals out there for RWI - appreciate the info and restaurant suggestion!

You can also look at the Turks & Caicos Club. It is a 21 suite hotel next to the reef. They are offering free nights as well.

The Sands and Somerset locations are best IMO, don't like Turks and Caicos Club location..onsite dining is not great.

Go to the Meridian Club for a private 2 mile long beach!

Meridian Club would be great, all inclusive . Fly into Provo, cab to Leeward and boat over to Pine Cay--just a bit longer to get there !! (Well worth it)

Look at the Sibonne. Small, quite, intimate, budget friendly hotel directly on one of the best sections of Grace Bay. Located between the Sands and the Somerset. It has 26 rooms. The room rate includes a continental breakfast at Bay Bistro, but you can add on an egg or breakfast meat for $2-3. Get a room on the 2nd floor. We loved our stay there.
