Turks & Caicos Club Receives Connoisseur’s Choice 2007
Turks & Caicos Club shares the “Connoisseur’s Choice” designation in 2007 with such legendary properties as Grace Bay Club among other extraordinary establishments. “The 2007 edition of Resorts & Great Hotels represents an amazing array of luxury hotels and resorts from nearly every corner of the globe,” said Publisher Ron Gebhardt. “It is with great pride and pleasure that we showcase Turks & Caicos Club in recognition of its ultimate commitment to hospitality.” “We are honored to be associated with such a prestigious group of hotels and resorts,” said the manager of Turks & Caicos Club “Our goal is to provide the highest quality service and amenities for our guests. This recognition by Resorts & Great Hotels strongly affirms our pride in this commitment.” Nominee - May 2006
Providenciales Island's Grace Bay Beach boasts a 12-mile stretch of white-powder sand that is home to first-class resorts and condominium properties. Among them is the Turks & Caicos Club, a five-star hotel offering 21 suites. Its intimacy, beauty, and primo location make it a magnet for honeymooners, professional photographers, and diving enthusiasts. "We call our package Dive into Luxury because it combines personalized world-class diving," said a hotel spokesperson. A four night stay in a one-bedroom oceanfront suite includes three days of two-tank diving, complimentary massages and dinner at Simba, the resort's Caribbean restaurant. April 2005 Entering through the Club's iron gates sets the tone: This is an exclusive, luxurious retreat. Winding gardens of bougainvillea, heliconia and hibiscus lead to the pool, restaurant and two Colonial-style buildings that house 21 one- and two-bedroom suites, each boasting a gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances, cobalt tile counters and a bar. Living and dining rooms have a safari flair, dressed in beige and brown tropical prints with rattan, wicker and bamboo furniture; these provide a warm contrast to the cool turquoise sea seen through the French doors that open onto an expansive balcony. In the bedrooms, mosquito netting drapes dark mahogany four-posters--but it's just for effect, as the suites are fully air-conditioned. Simba, the on-property restaurant, specializes in Caribbean delicacies with a French base. A tiki bar overlooks the pool, and a short stroll down the Club's boardwalk brings guests to the sugary white sands of Providenciales' famed Grace Bay. Rates start at $445 in low season ($645 high.) Reservations: 888-4TC-CLUB; www.turksandcaicosclub.com - Debbie Snow November 2004 The Turks & Caicos Islands are one of the fastest growing offshore destinations for sophisticated travelers and investors. It's no wonder: English is the official language; the US dollar is the accepted currency; stability comes with compliments of the British government; and the destination is 90 minutes from Miami. With a symphony of palm trees and chorus of crashing waves against magnificent reefs, these islands possess a natural beauty matched only by the warmth of its people. "The biggest problem you have is trying to get powder-white sand off your skin," said a spokesperson at the Turks & Caicos Club, the newest five-star hotel in Providenciales. A quaint colonial enclave with a subtle African theme, the resort's 21 suites overlook 12 miles of Grace Bay Beach. One of the world's most romantic resorts at sea, it is a magnet for honeymooner. Intimacy, distinguished luxury, and personalized attention are its hallmarks. July 2004 NEW 21-Suite Resort The private, gated resort overlooks the stunning turquoise waters of Grace Bay. Each of its 21 oceanfront and ocean-view one- and two-bedroom suites features fully equipped kitchens with stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances, washer and dryer, central air and Internet access. Large private porches and balconies offer a haven for guests seeking relaxing seclusion or an intimate setting for entertaining. Or visit Simba, the resort's full-service restaurant featuring indigenous island cuisine prepared with a gourmet touch. Turks & Caicos Club also sports a deluxe freshwater pool with refreshing cold-towel service, and complimentary Hobie Cats, windsurfers, sea kayaks, bicycles and snorkeling equipment are available. The resort can coordinate diving packages for guests at their request. For more information, call 649-946-5800 or visit www.turksandcaicosclub.com © 2004 World Publications, LLC October 27, 2003 OF NOTE: The resort, located next to the island's best snorkeling reef, offers a variety of acitivies designed to provide the ultimate island retreat with an extraordinary blend of relaxation and exploration opportunities. The resort sports a deluxe freshwater pool, fitness room and offers complimentary Hobie-cat, windsurfers, sea kayaks, bicycles and snorkeling equipment. "Simba," the resort's own gourmet restaurant, features French & Asian cuisine with a Caribbean flair. There are sveral direct flights to the island of Providenciales from the US, Canada and Europe, in addition to connecting flights through the U.S., Canada, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic. Southern Boating - Summer 2003 "Another brand new, small, 20-unit resort operation, the Turks and Caicos Club, boasts an outstanding chef at its Simba Restaurant. His presentation of dishes such as Tiger Shrimp rival what you might expect from Great Chefs of the Caribbean." July/August 2003 "At the Turks and Caicos Club, the lush and luxurious atmosphere invites passion while the hotel's gourmet restaurant, Simba, further titillates the senses with a creative menu and an unusual presentation." February 2003 It's easy to pretend that the 21-suite, gated, Caribbean colonial estate on the powder-soft beach of Grace Bay is yours alone: it's so discreetly managed that you'll rarely see another guest, especially on its wide stretch of oceanfront. To avoid an unexpected encounter altogether, retreat to your kitsched-up room with its safari-themed prints, rattan chairs, and waterfront porch. But don't spend all day indoors. The concierge can arrange a full-day whale watching trip, then reserve a table at Simba, where fresh-caught fish is presented by the beach. January 2003 Spring 2003 But don't worry. You don't have to be a member to enjoy the pleasures of this club. Just opened in December 2002, the 21 room luxury hotel combines the intimacy conjured by the term "club" with a comfortable, "unstuffy" atmosphere and warm hospitality that makes it an ideal place to enjoy a Caribbean holiday. The Turks & Caicos Club occupies a peaceful, two acre site on the western end of Providenciales' north shore, nestled in a primarily residential area, with one of the island's best snorkeling reefs just steps away. As a result, the footprints of Club guests are usually the only ones on the wide stretch of beach lining the property and the ocean waves beckon to them alone. Security fencing around the site and imposing concrete and wrought iron gating at the property's entrance serve as further assurance that guests won't be disturbed. One and two bedroom suites occupy two buildings; one fronts the beach and a smaller building offers ocean and pool/garden views. Architecture recalls a Caribbean Colonial style, with charming accents of gingerbread trim, latticework, bannistered balconies, large window shutters and wrought iron lamps. Especially prominent are the spacious private verandas and balconies adjoining each suite, the perfect place on which to relax and savor the sea breezes and marvelous ocean views. Notably, the Turks & Caicos Club was designed by Anthony Walkin, who runs Conservative Architects Ltd., and is the first Belonger-designed hotel project on Grace Bay. When it's time to explore, guests need only follow a boardwalk over the sand dunes and past a forest of waving sea grasses to access 12 miles of beach and the Princess Alexandra Marine Park. The hotel provides a number of complimentary watersports, including HobieCats, windsurfers, sea kayaks and snorkeling equipment for the guests' use. When it's time to relax, comfortable lounging chairs can be found on the beach or around the pedal-shaped freshwater pool privately located in the heart of the Club complex. The surrounding terrace includes a covered gazebo, where a stack of fluffy beach towels stand at the ready. Drinks and snacks are available throughout the day from the adjoining Simba Bar and Restaurant. (See below.) The Club's spotless rooms are elegantly designed in calming shades of beige and complement the Colonial architecture with extensive use of maple, rattan, bamboo and woven fabrics and accents in a safari theme. With one bedroom suites sized at 1,150 to 1,200 sq. ft. and two bedrooms at 1,377 to 1,582 sq. ft., there's plenty of room to spread out. All are fully air conditioned with ceiling fans and include cable TV and available VCR/DVD players, writing desks and direct dial telephones with Internet access. In a romantic gesture, four-poster king beds are surrounded by wisps of mosquito netting and bedrooms are set back in a raised alcove behind the living area. Kitchens are strictly modern with deep blue tiled counters contrasting dramatically with sleek, black, state-of-the-art appliances. A separate alcove encloses a circular dining table, although many guests prefer to dine al fresco on their patio. Full sized bathrooms include shower and bath with luxurious bath amenities. Each unit includes a small washer/dryer. Maid service is provided twice daily. In striving for a five star rating, the Turks & Caicos Club has put all the amenities in place to pamper guests in style. Besides the gourmet restaurant and bar on premises and room service is available. There is a fully equipped fitness center and bicycles for guests' use and a masseuse is on-call for in-suite spa services. From the reception building, a concierge helps arrange for scuba diving, sailing, touring and other excursions and can assist with dining reservations, car rental and even baby-sitting. The resort is especially proud of their transportation service, with airport transfers and trips around the island provided by Bradley Dean, about whom visitors say, "This is the first place where I've seen guests hug their taxi driver." Above all, the resort has put a premium on ensuring that the staff provide the best in service and hospitality. Importance is placed on finding and hiring qualified Belongers. And so far, initial guest reaction has been positive. The resort has had a number of high-powered guests who find it extremely relaxing. Besides the obvious attractions of sun, sand and sea, the Turks & Caicos Club provides a luxurious atmosphere that's not stuffy. It's not the kind of place where you need to dress up to come down to the pool and no one cares what your title is. Actions speak louder than words: already a number of guests have made their reservations to return next year. FOR MORE INFORMATION |
