need your opinions
 
I have already booked my reservations for next april at the T&C Club. I am starting to second guess myself. I was wondering if we would notice that big of a difference between staying there or at Coral Gardens? We are going for our 25th anniversary. Any opinions from anybody?

Oh my gosh! Yes, there is a BIG difference! Coral Gardens have become a bit run down and they are condos. Turks & Caicos Club is like an intimate mansion on the beach with a very nice restaurant and good staff. It is also near the reef, but when you stay at CG other resorts sit on the beach chairs to the beach is always crowded with kids, families, etc. At turks and Caicos Club, the beach is private and you never fight for a chair. It's like apples and oranges in my opinion. Have stayed at Turks and Caicos CLub and loved it. Great staff, good room. In our opinion, it was a gem of a hotel. It's not a condo-hotel like the others and a very intimate feel. Happy Anniversary! How wonderful.

Thanks so much for the information Pandy. I think you helped me decide that I will keep my reservations at T&C Club.

Definitely keep your reservation at the T&C Club. We stayed at Coral Gardens and walked over to the T&C Club one day. It was uncrowded, newer, nicer, etc. etc. There is no comparison between the pools. You can easily walk to the reef in front of Coral Gardens. There really is no staff at CG, just the restaurant help and one person to check you in and out.

I would NOT suggest changing from TCC to CG. Windsong is smack dab right next door to CG and there is construction FINALLY going on for Tuscany which is west of CG.
TCC is very classy and you will love it.
West Bay club is west of TCC which is now open and also looks very nice.
We will actually be on island in a couple of weeks. We will be at The Somerset.
Stay at TCC, you will not be unhappy

I meant to say Toscana is finally being built next door to CG not Tuscany (which is at the opposite end of Grace Bay beach)
All of these places being built becomes confusing!

It can be confusing!
Tuscany/Toscana
Venetian (You'd think we were in Italy!)

Regent Grand/Regent Palms
