The island is a lovely, low key place to unwind with excellent scuba diving and or snorkeling sites. Of course you have to realize that the economic disparity between the locals and the tourists is a reality and not feel uncomfortable about it. That said the Grace Bay Club is a high end, luxury retreat with prices to match. Not as high as the Aman properties but close. The inital room we were take to, a "villa suite" was dark, small, not much larger than one you would get at a Holiday Inn although the bathroom was spacious with two sinks, a jetted tub and separate shower and toilet area. NOT a suite by any stretch of the imagination. I was not pleased. The next day we were upgraded to a second floor one bedroom suite. Perfect! Spacious, bright, huge balcony full kitchen, living room great room style. A pleasure to be sure. The entire property is clean, excellent care is taken with the grounds and accommodations. There are three restaurants and two bars. All have good food, well prepared. I loved the red snapper and slaw at Krave. Other restaurants are in the area. The beach is gorgeous, fine white sand, big umbrellas and great towels. Two pools, one for adults only. The hotel shop has the best assortment of beachie clothes both in quality and style that I found in Grace Bay; but overpriced. Grace Bay Club is a romantic place for honeymooners and a great place for a winter getaway.

Why is the Grace Bay Club not number 1? Has excellent service, spacious beach front with an infinity pool, plenty of umbrellas(not bunched together like the other hotels), clean well layed out rooms, and high quality dining facilities. They even upgraded us to a nicer room. Would come back here in a minute

My husband and I just spent 3 beautiful days at GBC. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean and beautifully appointed, overlooking the gorgeous Grace Bay beach. The staff were courteous, friendly and professional - special note to our concierge Kenny who did everything we asked promptly and thoughtfully. We ate 3 delicious dinners in the 3 restaurants on the property. Food was excellent for the Caribbean and the breakfast buffet was extensive. These restaurants are all outdoors with hanging lanterns, plantings, couches and are very romantic - among the prettiest island restaurants we've seen. We loved taking out the single sail catamarans out everyday and looking for beautiful shells on the beach. And loved the rum punches! and all of the tropical drinks. We definitely plan to go back with some more members of the family knowing how much they will like it too.

Turks and caicos was an absolutely beautiful place to go. Grace bay makes it even better. Rooms are incredible - right on the beach. Staff was very friendly. People on the island in general are very friendly and helpful to tourists. It's definitely a place to go if you haven't been and a place to go back to if you have!
