Grace Bay Club, arguably the best destination in the Turks and Caicos, is a Swiss-owned resort that is certainly sitting on the best stretch of beach of Grace Bay. They’ve spared no expense here. More than 200 palm trees were brought in from Florida, and what used to be five acres of arid scrubland is now a series of beautifully landscaped gardens and fountains. Inside, the public areas are quiet, but luxuriously appointed. The complex is designed to emulate a Spanish village. And there are only 21 suites, ranging in size from junior to three-bedroom units.
These are tastefully decorated, mostly in white, with fine furnishings and artworks. Beds are king-size, carpets and rugs are Indian, tables and armoires are from Mexico. All of the suites have kitchens with washers and dryers. They are outfitted with 27-inch flat-screen TVs, DVD players and CD players. The bathrooms are all spacious and well-appointed. There is only one restaurant at the resort, the open-air, oceanfront Anacaona. The atmosphere there is upbeat, the service is top notch, and the food is beyond reproach, with a variety of French and Caribbean cuisine – everything from lobster to lamb. Very expensive, but highly recommended. A member of Small Luxury Hotels.
