TURKS AND CAICOS
When asked where I went on vacation and I say the Turks and Caicos I get
two reactions. One is, “oh, I love it there” or “where is that I heard it
was the new hot spot?” I really had mixed emotions to the entire island. For
romantic vacations I would recommend St. Johns or St. Bart’s or a number of
other islands. If you are going to retire or live on an island or are
looking for the biggest and longest beaches then the Turks might be your
answer.
There is a Club Med there that is one of the older ones in the chain with
new Condo complexes being built along the North shore. These are the
accommodations that you rent and stay in. There are no hotels as we know
them. The can be pricey from $150 a day for a room off the beach to $850 a
day for the two bedroom condo on the beach. Of course if you are a rock or
movie star you can build a house at Parrot Quay along side of Bruce Willis,
Keith Richards or the DKNY herself. These house can be rented for $12,000 a
day and up.

There are numbers restaurants along the coast which served very good
food in beautiful night time settings on the beach or overlooking local
marinas. Local restaurants are in short supply and are usually small
catering to locals and very few tourists.

The waters around the island are the most beautiful in the world and tout
being one of the best diving areas in the world. This would be the primary
reason for going to the Turks. The waters and beach on for ever and create a
perfect setting for walking, diving, sailing or reading a book. I would
recommend this island for couples and families. I has a different twist to
it and will become a premiere tour island in time. |
