Gibbs Cay Hotels in Turks and Caicos, Turks and Caicos

This place was so adorable. Off the beaten path. Cozy and Comfortable. It was directly on the beach so you did not have to leave if you did not want to. They had a bar that was a leap from the ocean, and they had chairs really close to the water you could lounge in. We rented a car and drove over to Middle Caicos - A MUST !! Then we came home and drank whiskey under the stars. Seriously, the stars were a blanket covering the sky. The water was beautiful, and you could walk down the beach a little way and be completely alone. This place is so perfect for anyone wanting to vacation away from everyone. Provo is for tourists, this is for the adventurous. Really great for couples, not for families, which is what I liked the most. The owner was the sweetest ever. Made us a delicious breakfast. They had wifi so you could email people back home if you needed to. I absolutely loved this place and will be back every time I fly into TCI. The only downfall is you can't drink the water in the room. They provide you with a jug of drinking water but I went down the road and bought a bunch of water bottles.

Had an amazing experience with my girlfriend for our birthdays. The resort is secluded and gorgeous on all fronts. The miles of pristine beach are breath taking and scarcely occupied. Great infinity pool and dining with breath taking sunset views. Staff goes above and beyond to please guests and no request is seemingly not accomodated. Fresh Cohibas never hurt either! Great for those looking to relax as well as for tge health conscious. All in close proximity are work out facilities, water sports, yoga, and great spa facilities. Not that the food is too heavy, but there is a lower calorie menu available including juice menu at both restaurants. Food and cocktails (and service) are also excellent; miles above any all inclusive or what you expect in the Caribean. That said, food and drink was a bit pricey: comparable in price to a Michelin 3 star restaurant, but not on that level quality wise. Cost of goods to a private island I guess?? Overall we loved this gem and recommend it highly. Hopefully we will go back in a few years.

Just returned from Blue Haven. Beautiful resort with helpful staff and no crowds. It is located north on the island and we rented a car to travel around the island. Our resort was not overflowing with crowds and was so nice for that reason. We went to our sister properties Beach House and Alexandra for a change of scenery but were able to go home to the Blue Haven for peace and quiet. Always room at the pool and no lines for breakfast at the Marketplace.(which was included in the rate). The staff were always ready help and could do so in short order because they are not stretched so thin as some of the other (all inclusive resorts). Would go back in a heart beat. Also Grace Bay was rated the 2nd most popular and beautiful beach in the world according to a poll recently published.

Grace is a nice lady that took care of us! She welcomed us by email before we arrived. Because of the funeral she had us stay in the apartment close to the office. She is a great lady that takes care of her visitors to Club Caribe. It's not a hotel people need to realize this. It's an apartment that you maintain and for the money you can't go wrong!

Beach is the best we have seen in the Carbibean (long/easy to walk/uncrowded/beautiful blue waters). Hotel is very convenient. Best part of hotel/suite is large screened porch where we had our breakfast (went to local bakery) and lunch (grocery store). Enjoyed our dinners eating outside - on the beach/overlooking the marina/next to palm trees. Food is very good, albeit expensive.

I looked at a lot of hotels and reviews for Turks and Caicos. Several people posted pictures of their hotel rooms. Pretty much all hotel rooms look the same. For this hotel, the rooms were comfortable, the bed was comfortable, bathrooms were clean and nice, and the a/c worked great (a/c was remote control so can adjust at night without getting up from bed). Basically, for half the price you get the same quality room as elsewhere. What you do not get is immediate proximity to the beach (need to walk about 4-5 minutes). Also the pool is nice but not extravagant. I was quite happy relaxing at this pool. Some hotel pools are opulent. They have restaurants open to anyone, so if you want, just go lounge at of those hotel pools. Price is right and very comfortable. This is the place to stay.

Villa del Mar is a not a resort with a lot of activities, it is more a individually owned group of condos. It does have two heated pools, a hot tub and a small cabana bar. They provide a light continental breakfast served at the cabana bar every morning. There is no public transportation and cabs are expensive so plan on doing a lot of walking. I would suggest that you bring snack type foods, such as peanut butter and crackers, packaged tuna to get you through until the evening meal as the restaurants are expensive. Villa del Mar is about half a mile from the grocery store, plan on a trip your first day the desk has maps. Beer will cost you $7.50 and cocktails will run $12.00 to $15.00 on the beach and at the restaurants but the grocery store has liquor and beer in stock, we took insulated mugs and made our own drinks. The ocean is only about a block from the resort, I have walked further than that to get to the ocean from our unit in an ocean front resort so the beach is not an issue. Beach chairs and towels are furnished in the resorts own area on the beach and the cabana boy will bring you drinks if you desire. Other than the fact that you must do a lot of walking I would say this resort is great value for your money.

My wife and I stayed there with a few other couples and absolutely loved the experience. We enjoyed the facilities, the pool area was very relaxing and we didn't feel crowded.
