We're looking for a nice hotel in T&C around early November. We like the smaller, boutique-type hotels, but do not want to break the bank.

Would like to avoid: Construction, all-inclusives

Need to have: Nicely appointed room with balcony, great beach, nice pool, nearby (good) restaurants.

Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

Definitely check out the Turks & Caicos Club: www.turksandcaicosclub.com

21 suites, no construction, next to the reef, perfect beach and a restaurant. It's was very nice when we stayed there in May.

Look into Coral Gardens...

Check out the Villa Renaissance. It has all the things you are looking for! We stayed there last December. It is a beautiful property.

Critch: I would love some more info on Villa Renaissance.

Lizzie518,
We love the Villa Renassaince because it is classy and quiet. It is very new. It is not a big property so there are less people around by the pool and on the beach in front. The pool is beautiful and if it is too windy down by the beach you can sit back by the pool and be sheltered from the ocean breeze. There is a poolside bar but no restaurant on the property. If you walk a block back there is a deli and a new restaurant in a strip mall called the Salt works or the Salt mill, I think. Danny Bouys is a bar/restaurant in walking distance too. You can walk down the beach for more restaurants. Their web site is www.renaissanceprovo.com.if you haven't seen it yet.
We really like it at the Renaissance.

Sorry, I gave the wrong web site for the Renaissance. It is www.villarenaissance.com

We stayed at Royal West Indies Resort in June and highly recommend it. Check out their website and I have a review and pictures posted on this site.
