Alexandra Resort All Inclusive

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. [Details]

The Alexandra resort was better than expected. We were upgraded to a ocean view from garden view free because of our honeymoon. Breath taking views. Sand is so soft. The workers are very nice but I think sometimes they dont sometimes understand or listen properly. Everything in Turks is very expensive so all inclusive is they way to go or else expect to spend $20 per meal and $10 per drink per person in US dollars. Recomend renting a car for $50 a day and see the island. Stay away from taxi's they charge fares per person and drive like maniacs. Food was good they change the menu every couple days. Entertainment every night but everything is shut down at 11pm. There is no night life on the island. Go straight for the pina coladas and mango passion fruit drinks. Definitely dont forget sunscreen 30 degree weather. [Details]
