Questions about Sibonne, T & C,
 
Hi all,
Many thanks for your replies to my previous post. Thanks to you, our hairbrained scheme of staying at Club Med and spending time elsewhere has been transformed into a much simpler 7 day stay at the Sibonne! We can't wait!
Quick question:
Is it worth paying the extra money ($155 vs $135) for an Ocean View room with Balcony? And what about the rock-bottom $99 rooms? Do those rooms have any private patio space at all? Any advice you can give will be much appreciated!

Yes ! You're on vacation - and being in a nice room is a big part of it! I can only tell you from our experience, that we've been in a small boxy room to save money, and also had other vacations in nice airy rooms with balconies, and I will NEVER go for the small room again. Absolutely go for the ocean view room with a balcony. Have fun.

Thanks, all. I'll book right now!
Whatever would we have done without your expert advice? If any of you will be in Providenciales in late May, look for the 2 pale brunettes hanging out in front of the hotel. We owe you a drink! ;)

Have a great time. Make sure you eat at Turtle Cove Inn!

Well, about food, I had to have the fish wrap at Cafe Bistro(sibonne) THREE times-crazy i know but I loved it. Blackened Mahi and veggies in a wrap with salad on the side yummmy!!!!

Actually if you can afford it I would go for the Premier Ocean Front rooms. Can't get any closer to the beach than that. If you opt for an ocean view see if the rooms over the front office on the second floor are available. The are bigger. Have a drink at the bar--sit at the tables and have Junior deliver them on his head. He's a real neat guy. Will be on Provo 14-21 May so will miss you.

Believe MIM04 is refering to Aqua which is waterside at the Marina. It is not owned by Turtle Cove Inn. When Tiki Hut moved the Owners of The terrace moved in and renamed it Aqua. Great pecan crusted conch

We had an oceanfront room while at Sibonne and loved it. We also saw the view from the oceanview rooms and they are worth the extra money. It was postcard perfect.
