Fodor's Travel Talk Forums - Need help picking an island for getaway

Hi Jim,

I replied earlier, before our vacation. We went to Turks and Caicos for a week in May. We had an incredible time! We stayed at the Coral Gardens, there was excellent snorkeling from our beach in front of the hotel. We saw turtles everyday and even a large stingray twice. The condo was large and comfortable, nothing too fancy. We were ground floor, not facing the ocean :(. The food there was very good also. Breakfast is included, which was very nice to not have to head out somewhere to eat. There was only one family there that I noticed. There wasn't much nightlife on the island, and pretty much no shopping. We had dinner out most nights and all were very good. There are many threads on the dining on Provo.

If you have any other questions, I'll try to answer. Happy planning!
