White-sand beaches, calm clear water and a bountiful barrier reef make the Turks and Caicos island of Providenciales a hot spot for families, snorkelers and divers. Some call rock-free Grace Bay Beach the best in the world. For an unusual experience, divers can walk along the ocean floor at Smith's Reef, where underwater signs describe the reef's ecosystem. Additional destinations include Iguana Island (home of endangered rock iguanas), the country's only golf course, art galleries and a casino. If you are looking for a relaxing, romantic and unique vacation, then Turks and Caicos is definitely for you! Provo, the largest island in the territory, is full of great resorts, restaurants and things to do. As far as lodging goes, there are some splendid resorts on Grace Bay Drive like "The Sands," "Royal West Indies" and "Beaches," as well as more affordable, budget options like the "Comfort Inn Suites." If you are looking for a place to stay with children, "Beaches" is a great bet. On the other hand, there's a "Club Med" on the island as well if you enjoy more of a party atmosphere. For a great, quiet "paradise" feel, try the "Royal West Indies Resort." There are no places on the island that are in a "bad neighborhood" or without a great view. (You can almost see the ocean on both sides from any point on the island...it's only about 6 or 7 miles wide.) None of the places to stay are run-down or sub-par so research the options that you can afford and be confident with your choice! |

Provo has quite a few large, luxurious resorts. There's no real downtown or city area with restaurants and shopping, so these resorts pretty much make up the entire shore-bound experience. Each resort has at least one or two restaurants, and there is at least one casino on the island. But even with these resorts, the island doesn't come across as loud and boisterous, like, for example, Cancun. Instead, it is a quiet place, with lush vegetation, low buildings and uncrowded beaches. Provo has some of the world's best beaches - the fine, white 12-mile long Grace Bay Beach was rated as one of the top ten beaches by Conde Naste. For divers, it offers something even better: dramatic, steep walls covered with brilliant soft corals and teeming with fish life. please read entire review By dloomis69, 02/02/06 Just got back from 2 weeks in Providenciales. The island itself is absolutely beautiful; the beaches are incredible and not very many people on the beaches. Everything is very expensive on the island; food, drinks, gasoline, car rental...The food is pretty good, nothing fantastic. We ate at a lot of different restaurants and they were always out of something; 1 place was out of lemonade and told us that the person that makes it was off for the day and no one else could make it. The service at most places was HORRIBLE ; and the attitudes of the employees was just as bad. Most of the time I just got up and got what I needed. We stayed at the Alexandra Hotel; very nice! Sandy is awesome!! Because of the horrible service and the horrible attitudes of the natives, we would never go back to Providenciales. Our money will go to a place that appreciates it. |

Some of the great Providenciales restaurants to try are: Calico Jack's--a great place for a burger or lighter meal Mango Reef (at Royal West Indies Resort)--delicious food, very fresh seafood and not too pricey, Carib-French Hemmingway's on the Beach (at the Sands Resort)--a mid-priced option which is delicious, great steaks and seafood with an on-the-beach tiki-torch atmosphere The Tiki Hut (near the Turtle Cove Marina)--inexpensive and wonderful! Very relaxed atmosphere, outside and covered. Specialty drinks and each night there's a specialty. (Get there early if it's Wednesday's rib and chicken night...all the locals are there!) Bambooz-- actually a sports bar with a "rotating" menu (you never know what might be on it!) Inside and air conditioned. Great drinks and lighter food. Corner Cafe--near the IGA grocery store on Leeward Highway. Very inexpensive. They have delicious specialty sandwiches, homemade lemonade and hot, fresh bread.
