Providenciales

The resort was very clean spacious. The food was very good and the options where plentiful.

We had an incredible 1BR suite with a full kitchen and balcony on the 2nd floor. The view was amazing looking onto the pool and beachfront, and exceeded our expectations - so not sure if we were upgraded from our "ocean view" suite. The beach is the best we've ever seen (compared to Cuba, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Antigua, Barbados, Bahamas, Cayman, Curacao, St Thomas, St Marten, St Lucia, Mexico)... although Roatan was a close second. Grace bay is a fine white sand beach that's great for walking, swimming and enjoying sunsets. The beach staff are very friendly and work hard from sun up till sun down to maintain the towels, chairs and umbrellas - and to provide food and drinks to the guests. Our room and kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and was kept neat and tidy by the house keeping service. We chose to prepare our own light breakfasts and lunches and had dinners in the nearby restaurants. Hemingways was good (particularly the ribs on BBQ night), however we preferred Bay Bistro, Bella Luna, and Caribbean Element - which were all within a 5 - 10 walk. We spent our evenings after dinner relaxing with a cool drink on our incredible balcony, if you're looking for an onsite bar and nightlife - then this is not the place for you. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend The Sands on Grace Bay.

We enjoyed our week at Alexandra Resort in Turks and Caicos. Check in was a bit disappointing. They could and should have explained more and given us a map. It is smaller than other resorts we have stayed at but we had to ask or search for things the first few days. Also, there is less to do than at other resorts. There are 4 restaurants, plus 2 at Blue Haven, but be sure to reserve a spot first thing each day. They aren't all open every day. We appreciated that chairs weren't reserved around the pool and at the beach. We were always able to find a seat when needed. The beach was amazing. Soft, powdery white sand, beautiful tourquoise water. In many ways we found that the Alexandra was a Sandals wannabe. It offered things that a Sandles or Beaches resort offered but never came up to the standards and choices or quality that Sandals does. We took the shuttle to Blue Haven, but were disappointed with the beach and pool there.

Wonderful! Our room was clean. Staff are nice and polite. So peaceful and quiet.

This a hotel that is not all inclusive but hits many buttons for convenience. Restaurants a minute walk away. A golf cart shuttle to the beach, beach guys set up your chairs and umbrella, no saving chairs at 6am. Grocery store 2 mins walk to buy food, drinks etc. No loud music at the pool or beach, yeah! Good for older beach vacation travellers. Grace Bay beach is fantastic. Comfortable rooms, WiFi works perfectly. Continental buffet breakfast, more than enough to suit everyone.
