Can't decide between Point Grace and Grace Bay Club????
 
We are planning to go to Turks & Caicos for our honeymoon, at the beginnning of August. Both Point Grace and Grace Bay Club look fabulous, but which would you reccommend for our honeymoon?

We are looking for a luxurious room with a panoramic ocean view - from a nice terrace. We want to be pampered, and we enjoy peace and quiet. We are very low key and just want to relax, enjoy the sun and each other.

if you don't mind kids - Point Grace. although allowed, i doubt you will find many at such a posh resort

if you do mind kids on your HM - GBC

other than Coral Gardens (for the snorkeling), I thought Point Grace had the best locale

It's a tough call. GBC, the original resort, doesn't allow children under 12. The new section they built does allow children, but it has it's own pool and bar and beach restaurant. Every time I went threw there though, I don't remember seeing too many. The original will be shutting down for renovations, but I liked the new section even better. The rooms are gorgeous, with plasma tvs, etc. It has like a Four Seasons/Ritz to it.
Point Grace is smaller, more like a boutique resort. It has a quieter feel to it, more like a spa or has a "zen" feeling to it.
Also check out the somerset. It's not open yet, but scheduled for June. It looks like it is going to be spectacular. Of course, with new, don't know if they will have growning pains with service, but it's going to be absolutely gorgeous. www.thesomerset.com
Point Grace is probably the quietest, the most low key, yet very luxurious.

I looked at the Somerset website and it doesn't look like it is a resort but rather private condos or villas for sale. Am I missing something? Maybe, there is another site for the resort, if there is going to be one.

carifan: with a few exceptions, all the places to stay in Provo are condos for sale. (ex. of exceptions, Comfort Suites and Sibonne.) All the condos are placed in a rental pool, and run like a resort.

Thanks, I had no idea.
