Hi
Grace Bay Club is new to me but I have been to Turks many times. I know of Grace Bay it is a 24 suite hotel of a sort quite expensive but for those who can afford it is beautiful. My one time there was for lunch and I found the people who work there were snobs. Turks is a great diving Island and for some good info as to the best sites go to Dive Provo at the Reef Hotel (I think it is still called that)
it's where the casino is and ask for Julelia something like that and she will know where to send you. Let me know if you go also to stay it is very nice at the Ocean Club. I'm jealous I wish I were going there. If you go enjoy.

Ida

Brandi: Ida, in the message before me was correct about Dive Provo but it is based at the Turquoise Reef Hotel. And yes, Jalelia is the name of the girl who runs the dive store and books the boats. We had a great time diving with Dive Provo and all the dive sites were spectacular. Without getting out my dive log the one site that I remember by name was "The Cathedral" The site was incredible and the underground formations were breathtaking. We saw huge groupers on this dive trip. There are alot of pelagics in this area and we were about the only ones that didn't see any sharks. You will love this destination. The beaches are beautiful, the sand white and powdery and the ocean a shade of turquoise I have never seen before. Some of the dive sites are a good ride, about 45-50 minutes by boat, that was the only thing we found a bit challenging. On your day off from diving walk to "the white house" everyone seems to know where it is, for some really good snorkling about 10 feet off shore. I wish we were going back. Enjoy your trip. Fran

I think Grace Bay Club has their own website, plus check them out at:
slh.com (it stands for small luxury hotels)
I've never been, but checking into it myself for July travel.
Goodluck

Spent four days at Grace Bay two years ago and LOVED IT. Everything about the place was superb -- accommodations, service, food, beach. I have heard that the chef has since departed and the food has declined but, even without incredible food the place would still be worth a visit.
