Turks and Caicos
Stay:
We stayed in a beautiful home booked through Luxury Retreats. Staying in a house gave us the opportunity to spend quality family time together and have the privacy of our own pool. The concierge at luxury retreats was helpful in setting us up with groceries upon our arrival and booking fun excursions for us during our trip.
I highly recommend staying in Grace Bay which is where many of the resorts and popular restaurants are located. If you do stay outside of Grace Bay, I would suggest renting a car to get around the island as cabs are infrequent and expensive. Be prepared, though, as some of the roads can be a little dangerous and they do drive on the left hand side of the road.
Eat:
Coco Bistro - within walking distance from the resorts along Grace Bay, this restaurant has seating outside under the palms and was our favorite dinner of the trip. For a more casual option, check out Coco Van where they serve food from their airstream kitchen.
Conch Shack - featuring a rum bar and all things conch, this is the place for happy hour. It is a drive from many of the resorts and a tourist hot spot, but is well worth the trip.
Hemingway’s and The Deck - two good resort options for lunch along Grace Bay Beach.
Lemon2go - perfect spot for coffee before you make your way to the beach.
Explore:
Beaches - Grace Bay is obviously the main highlight as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, but for some more remote options, check out Taylor Bay and Sapodilla Bay. Sapodilla Bay also has all kind of water rentals.
Boat Excursion - we did a half-day cruise through Sail Provo. Not only do they offer snorkeling and lunch, but we had a stop at Iguana Island which did not disappoint.
Spa Day - Spa tropique has locations on the island, but will also come to you for an at home spa experience.
Yoga/Chef - because we had the space of a house, the staff at Luxury Retreats helped coordinate a chef to prepare us dinner one night and yoga classes during our stay.
