In January 2005, a friend and I went to the Ocean Beach Hotel on North Caicos. It was exactly what we were hoping for. It was quiet and peaceful and very serene. We could walk the beach, swim, snorkel or just sun-bathe.
The beach was not crowded or noisy. The accomodations were great. Clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The management was very friendly and helpful. North Caicos is a beautiful island. It's not crowded or hurried. No high-rises or traffic. It's very hard to decribe how beautiful this place is and how nice the Ocean Beach hotel is, so I have included some pictures in my review. I will definitely go back to the Ocean Beach Hotel and North Caicos!

My friend and I just returned from North Caicos. We spent a week at the Ocean Beach Hotel. We had a wonderful time. We stayed in Condo #3 which was beach front/ocean view.The condo was spotless clean, bright and airy.There is a pool and the landscaping is a botanical garden.The beach is BEAUTIFUL. Crystal clear water and pure white sand and we practically had it all to ourselves! This Island of North Caicos isn't for everyone. There is no exciting night-life, souvenir shopping, or loud, motorized water sports. It's peaceful,quiet, relaxing and definitly unspoiled. We LOVED it! On our way home, we spent one night in Provo and it felt way over-crowded compared to North Caicos! Rose Fleming

In the spring of 2003, My boyfriend and I took a vacation to the Turks & Caicos. Because we wanted a quiet, secluded, unhurried, relaxing vacation we decided to go to North Caicos instead of Provo. (nothing against Provo). What a wonderful island!!! We stayed for 8 nights at the Ocean Beach Hotel/Condominiums in unit #3.The Ocean Beach is beachfront/oceanview. Just a few steps from an absolutely stunning beach!!! The best part was that the beach was deserted!!! Our one-bedroom condo was really nice. It was beautifully decorated in a tropical decor and was extremely clean, bright and airy. We loved the condo. There was also a pool on the premises which would get some shade in the afternoon, so it was nice to sit and read out of the sun. The pool looks out onto the ocean. The manager of the condos, Karen, was delightful. She was so helpful and very pleasant. Karen is also the chef at the restaurant that is on the premises. The food was delicious. All home cooked including the pineapple-upside-down cake!North Caicos was very enjoyable for us. If you are looking for excitment and nightlife this is not the place for you. There are several small restaurants around the island, which are very good. The Anchor Inn had great chicken&chips and fish&chips. Titters was good. Pappa Grunts was not very good. We didn't like the atmosphere and it was overpriced for what you got.It was fun going around the island and sightseeing. The little grocery stores were fun to go in. The local people on North Caicos are very friendly as well as the Ex-Pats that have homes there. We absolutely loved North Caicos. We are going back in November and bringing another couple with us. We have to share this wonderful "find" of an island!!Patti D

After half a dozen sublime visits over the years, I'm sorely tempted to keep this to myself, but North Caicos is one of the few places left in the Caribbean where you can walk for miles on a beautiful beach and see only your own footprints on the way back. And Ocean Beach fits right in with that image and ambience, with all the amenities from groceries for those who wish to self cater to wonderful dinners prepared by owner and manager Karen Preikschat, using fresh local fruits and vegetables, and fish and conch and lobster from right out front. We like the option of having a sitting room and kitchenette as well as the comfortable bedroom and bath, and the option of lounging by the casuarina-shaded fresh water pool when the sun gets high and hot. Karen can arrange for fishing, snorkeling, or diving right from Ocean Beach (she's a certified dive master), and for car or bike rental to explore the rest of this truly beautiful island. Now, in exchange for telling you about my secret paradise, please just don't ask for Room 1 during the first two weeks of March!
