DIVING & HOTELS
 

We would appreciate suggestions of where to stay on Turks and Caicos that has availability of good diving and sybriatic hotel--we stayed last year at Jalousie st lucia and loved it--we will be going over the 4th of july--so please advise??? thanks so much<BR>

From a travel agents point of view; The Coral Gardens is the most intimate and exclusive resort on Turks. Full suites with ocean views. European Day Spa, and 2 unique restaurants. Sands at Grace Bay would be my other suggestion. This is a luxury beachfront all suites resort. Hope this helps a little.

I agree that Coral Gardens is a terrific place to stay - spacious condos, a pool, nice beach, good snorkeling just offshore, great dinner restaurant, and a dive shop plus spa all on property.<BR><BR>It had everything we needed for a great vacation.

To Gina 1: According to my travel agent, Grace Bay Club and Point Grace are the most intimate and exclusive resorts on Turks. Classic Custom Vacations has both of these hotels as 5 stars and Coral Gardens and the Sands as 4 stars. We just booked at Grace Bay Club. Were we mislead?

I do reef surveys throughout the Bahamas, but have never dove in T&amp;C area. I enjoyed these posts, since I'll most likely plan a T&amp;C excursion next. Must share a book with you: &quot;Water And Light- A Diver's Journey to a Coral Reef.&quot; It's a novel about diving througout T&amp;C by Stephen Harrigan. He mentions places like Harmonium Point, Algal Ridge,Lobster Rock, etc. If you've dove in T&amp;C, or are planning to, it's a good read. Robert
