West Caicos Vacations from $1,788

I would recommend this place for a relaxing getaway; it’s not really suited for those who prefer an active vacation. The house itself is great—good soundproofing and plenty of air conditioning units that handle the heat well. It was generally well-equipped. It was clean, with no insects or unpleasant odors. The rooftop pool was always cooler than the ocean, which was very refreshing in the heat. Parking was along the road; we had no issues with our car over the course of the week. The water was very warm in August—no need to acclimate to the temperature at all. Communication with the owners was smooth and easy. There were sometimes stray dogs outside, but they were calm and friendly; they didn't try to enter the house or bark. Driving on the island is very easy, even though everyone drives at twice the speed limit; I only saw the police a couple of times.One thing I didn't love—though this is more about the trip in general than the house—was the weather: it was hotter than usual (30°C / 86°F) with high humidity, so it was best to spend the hours between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM resting indoors or having lunch. The best times to be outside were 7:00–10:00 AM and 4:00–7:00 PM. The sun loungers on the roof aren't the newest and are dusty, but if you use beach towels, there’s no problem. There were rains, but they were very brief and light. There was quite a bit of broken glass on the beach; over the course of the week, we collected and removed the shards ourselves.

One of the best vacations I have taken. Staff was wonderful and property immaculate.
