Understated Luxury in Paradise
This resort is a hidden treasure in a sea of commonplace hotels: it is unassumingly small, the staff is gracious and efficient, and the suites are so comfortable, that you feel as though you have come home. The ideal element of the Turks and Caicos Club is its quiet refinement. It's low key and peaceful, without being inefficient and dull. The staff are on hand whenever you need them, but if one wishes to be left alone, to relax by the pool, enjoy the deck chairs, or simply "be", then one can do so. With the resort being so small, a visitor almost feels like the only guest, and this kind of feeling must be experience by the rich and famous; but at the Turks and Caicos Club, guests do feel that special.
Since it is a few minutes away from the busiest part of Provo's hotel/condo area, it enjoys the pristine elements which privacy and serenity bring. Yet the attentive service mean that guests can avail themselves of any activities or tours that they may wish to take part in.
My husband and I preferred a quieter, more independant holiday, so we tended toward more low-key activities, like lounging, hanging out at the beach, and cooking our own meals. The suites are perfect for this. However, the downstairs restaurant offers breakfast as well as lunch; while we did not eat lunch there, the included breakfast was a nice balance to cooking our own meals. Consider making your own dinner, or rent a car to get out for evening meals. Also, the island is very hot with little shade, so getting about by foot, except in early morning or late afternoon, would be difficult. We enjoyed the independence of having a car at our disposal, whenver we wanted - just like at home! We discovered tucked-away beaches and other gems at our own speed.
This is truly the best hotel at which we've stayed, and we have visited many Caribbean islands. We were never approached to buy real estate (or anything else for that matter), but rather we felt like welcome family members. The owner herself meets witht the guests and is interested in their comfort and well being as would a gracious host. She is a lovely woman with a warm heart for people and animals alike; she won our hearts in her support of the local SPCA. How many resort owners do that!
Turks and Caicos Club is an exceptional resort. It's not inexpensive in high season, but I strongly believe that you get what you pay for.
