Turks and Caicos
Any feedback on the Royal West Indies resort on Grace Bay Road? Rates appear reasonable at $242 for a studio? Also, I would be interested in renting a car to see and move around the island's beaches and resturants. Is renting a car good idea? I realize I have asked two diferent questions. Thanks for the help...

RWI is a good bang for the buck. Pretty property.
I'm a car girl. For only $39 daily the freedom it gives is great-you can explore Sapadilla and Taylor Bays, Chalk Sound, Da Conch Shack, Pelican Beach for huge conch shells, snorkeling at Coral Gardens and eat and go to supermarket without playing the the waiting game, the someone can call for me game, the have cash for tips, and then find out taxi costs more!

Nice place for moderate also Alexandra
Getting good deals 5% cash back plus 10% facebook discount
currently these folks I am saving a tonne.
Have a look at a map Provo pretty but small
for me car rental not cost effective.
Fine if money is no object but might put it towards
even a better hotel... luxurylink.com good deals sometimes

renting a car in Provo is a terrific idea because:
$39 a day unlimited rides.
explore places taxi can't take you--do not miss Sapadilla Bay, Taylor Bay, Chalk Sound (where you'll never see turquoise like that ever again), Pelican Beach, snorkel Coral Gardens and Smith's Reef
not depending on someone who may or may not call a taxi for you
not playing the waiting game, especially in the dark (it can get dark there!)
not carrying cash around, figuring change, tips
cheaper than going to places like Da Conch Shack
easier to transport groceries in the heat of day
for the cost of a taxi airport to hotel you have unlimited rides all day on rental
on the last day you leave the car at airport, so no waiting for taxi to show to add additional stress
1 taxi ride can put you out $45, so it's more cost effective to have a car!
