This is a lively and friendly island bar and restaurant. They have great food and friendly staff. This is the place to go on a Friday night and dance under the stars.
It's not to be mistaken for the place downstairs.

Nikki Beach Resort offered us personal service, great food, amazing rooms, European style entertainment, and favorite liquor already stocked in the homestyle refrigerator before I even arrived.
Personal assistants catered to whatever needs and wants we had. Also, Katalina always let me know she was happy to help us out.
We love this place, and of all the islands and resorts in the world we were lucky enough to get a place here. At the very least, you must check it out.

Nikki Beach Resort in Turks and Caicos: What an Amazing Time!Visited: May 2008
Posted by cocobutter100
The Nikki Beach Resort in Turks and Caicos will ensure that you stay in the lap of luxury while you’re vacationing. Their resort has 48 suites with amazing ocean views, a European style kitchen, a flat screen HDTV and other amazing amenities. The rooms were incredible! We had a home style refrigerator in our suite full of high-end deli food that we ordered before arrival along with our favorite liquor. It was so nice to get to our room and have a delicious lunch ready for us! Later that evening, we ate a mouth-watering meal at Café Nikki. I highly recommend any of their seafood selections.
Our first night, we were so thrilled to see that the resort had such a variety of entertainment open to us. We ended up dancing all night at the Nikki Beach Club! The amazing DJ Felipe from Columbia told us that this is the first Caribbean resort with European style entertainment. The rest of the staff was super nice too, especially GM Jonathan, the VIP manager Michael Sin from South Beach and the sales director Lisa.
Our vacation flew by and I really didn’t want to leave! Overall, the resort provided personal service, great food and amazing rooms. If you want more scoop on how great the Nikki Beach resort is, then you can go to the Nikki Beach Hotels website and watch the videos to get an idea of how much fun you’ll have there!

I came here years ago when so many more singles were here. This time, the third dining room did not even get used.
There were five single girls to 20 single guys. I am a guy, and this was horrible. The employees kept hitting on the five single girls, and they were quite good at it.

Once again, the Meridian Club shines!Visited: November 2008
Posted by snorkeler
This was our fourth fabulous vacation with the folks at The Meridian Club on Pine Cay -- 20 minutes by boat and a world away from Providenciales.
There were only 26 guests and a smattering of friendly vacation homeowners sharing one resort's incredible two-mile beach, sapphire blue water with sandy bottom, and great reef just a little ways offshore.
There were 12 large duplexes, one bedroom beachfront units, and one cottage, with ceiling fans, king bed, a couch and chair, a refrigerator, a screened porch overlooking the beach, patio, indoor and outdoor shower, two sinks and a dressing area.
There were also outdoor tables under thatched umbrellas for breakfast, lunch, and several island theme dinners each week. They served fabulous appetizers, meals, desserts, and snacks -- all included in the daily rate. Multiple entrees and desserts were on offer each night; buffet lunches and cook-to-order breakfasts. They also had an outdoor bar. There was an airy dining room with an upstairs bar and game room, and an open air porch for watching sunsets.
Beach activities consume your days: daily snorkel trips on a great snorkel boat with friendly captains, hobie cats, kayaks, bicycles, bone fishing in the sand flats, game fishing, picnics and beachcombing on deserted beaches, swimming, reading, and sunbathing. There is also a pool if you want a change from salt water.
Night time activities? Nightcap at the bar after a fabulous dinner and/or a romantic stroll down the two-mile beach. There is also the Saturday night "jump up" after dinner until 10 pm.
The Meridian Club has indescribably friendly and caring staff and on site management!

We enjoyed Thanksgiving at Paprika Villa.Visited: November 2008

We just returned from a stay at Villa Paprika, and there are not enough wonderful things our family can say about this beautiful property.
We had a group of twelve staying here, and the layout provided enough space for us to have our own privcacy when needed, yet ample space for us to share family time.
We are definitely coming back to Paprika Villa for our next family vacation!

I spent one week here - from November 6 - 13. With all I had read on this site, I really didn't know what to expect. My take is that people who want to find fault with something - will.
My family and I enjoyed the Sands very much. The staff was cheerful and eager to please. Despite damage from Hurricane Ike, the resort has attended to all that needed fixing. Yes, we had some scaffolding outside our room for a day or two as they were repairing gutters, but it was no big deal. The workers were as invisible as they could be, and they got their work done in a timely fashion.
Our room was a garden view on the first floor (in building #4). We were most pleased with both the condition of the room and the daily service provided.
The beach was wonderful, and we saw JoJo three different days!
The entire island was not cheap, but we were pleased with the quality of the food - and we did try several restaurants.
All in all, I found the belongers very friendly. If the occasion presents itself, I would go back and stay at the Sands.
No matter where you are planning to go for some quality time, I would suggest that you look at all the good things you have surrounded yourself with. Your time, no matter where, will be a much better experience.

My daughter and I were lucky enough to travel to the Turks & Caicos and stay at The Tuscany. It was a beautiful resort, located right on the beach.
The rooms were stylish, very clean, and had all the needed amenities, including a cellphone. Our room opened right onto the beach, which made sitting on the lanai wonderful both in the morning and at night.
The pool was very nice, so we went back and forth between there and the beach.
The staff was fantastic, and they made our stay delightful.
We rented a car and were able to go to nearby restaurants, grocery stores and other areas of the island quite easily.
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this fantastic property.

This was a super value for the money!Visited: August 2008

My wife and I stayed at Grace Bay Suites this summer and can strongly recommend this as a great place to stay - particularly for those on a budget.
We'd only intended to visit for one week, but as it was so cheap we booked for two.
The hotel was just three minutes walk from Grace Bay Beach. Because of the central location, everything was close-by; a gym at Salt Mills Plaza, plenty of shopping for souvenirs or sundries and a good choice of restaurants.
Nearby was one of our favorite places for brunch on island, the Sibonne, where you can just sit for hours watching the sea. Hemingways (at the Sands) was a relaxed place for dinner.
Also, not too far along the beach either and right on your doorstep, there was Danny Buoys Pub, where we could even order and have our drinks delivered as we lazed by the pool. In addition, a direct telephone line from the pool to the pub was a great touch! Food here was simple, but it was a good choice - and great pub grub!
We are both divers, and because of the great deal on the hotel, we were able to spend at least a whole week diving.
The place had only just opened, so things were still developing. For example, the landscaping. However, this did not worry us in the least, as we spent most of the day diving or on the beach.
The room was large and comfortable, and the staff was warm and friendly without being intrusive.
If you want a place to relax, chill out, and escape from the stress of every day life (without it costing you a fortune), this is the place to go! We will definitely come back.

The Pearl Lounge is a great place to have a before dinner cocktail - or outside in the zen-like garden with water feature and candles. It is very romantic.
Once inside, the chic inside space with the lofty crystal chandeliers and the all white motif is a perfect setting for a most rewarding dining experience.
We loved the service - and especially the unique food presentations. The choices were plentiful, as it was hard to decide. It was one of the best meals we had on island.

This is the best resort on Grace Bay.Visited: August 2008
Posted by justjack
We have traveled to many islands and have fallen in love with TCI. We just got back from our second trip.
Our first stay was at The Somerset. Wow. We were blown away by the suites. We stayed in a one-bedroom English Cottage, with full Viking stainless kitchen, two full baths, and beautifully furnished living and dining room. There was also a great big master, plus a loft with a sofa bed and third plasma TV - nicer than most homes!
The staff was so nice, helpful, and friendly.
The two restaurants were great, and the pool bar was nice and offered great casual fare. The upscale , O'Soleil was so beautiful, and offered fantastic food! The complimentary breakfast was served here every am. It was the perfect spot to start the day!
We love it, and plan to return.

A Turks and Caicos travel review
Somerset was sensational.Visited: August 2008
Posted by sunnydisposition
I have traveled to at least a dozen islands, and Turks and Caicos and the Somerset heads our list.
We encountered friendly staff, great service and a most beautiful environment. The suites were immaculate with the highest of finishes, stunning architecture and well layed out grounds and pools.
They had the most comfortable beach loungers and excellent beach service.
We have already made return reservations. It was a fabulous, relaxing vacation that exceeded our expectations.

The property needs some updating.Visited: August 2008
Posted by caribbeanqueen
I have just returned from a week at Club Med Turkoise.
The staff was excellent. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff. They were friendly, helpful, accommodating, and genuinely caring. The Chief of Sports (Gentil), to the sailing instructor (John), and even the employees of the boutique (notably Sarah) - I was extremely happy and actually sad to leave. The bar staff was also great!
Before my stay, I was slightly worried about the food and drinks included in my all-inclusive package. The drinks were perfect, and the food was amazing. You are going to want to order some chocolate bread to take home.
The room was nicely appointed, and a good size. It could use a decor update, but as a decorator I might just be nitpicking.
However, the bed was not very comfortable, and I found the water closet unappealing. I think it could be updated and tiled to match the lovely decor in the shower and sink room.
The closet space was ample, the view was lovely, and the maintenance and housekeeping staff were excellent. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous.
Also, I was very happy with all the activities that were available, and with the shows the staff put on.

A Turks and Caicos travel review
Please be cautious!
Posted by k_train55
We had heard that 'this is the safest island in the Caribbean'. But please be cautious.
When my husband and I arrived for our honeymoon, we asked several staff members whether or not it was okay/safe to walk in Grace Bay. Most staff said "Yes- you can" and one said "If your lady is looking nice, she probably won't want to walk". None of these statements cautioned us to the possible danger awaiting us.
On Friday evening, our last night in Turks and Caicos, my husband and I ate dinner at Coco Bistro, and walked to the Port of Call. Around 11:00, we were nearly to The Regent Palms, on foot, when an older SUV pulled behind us, on the wrong side of the road, and two men demanded our money and wallets! With dangerously intimidating knives, my purse was stolen, within 25 feet to the entrance to The Regent Palms hotel.
Security officers and local police did speak with us, and we gave several witness statements. No one has been apprehended in the case, however.
We wish we would have known this information before taking our honeymoon in Turks and Caicos. Unfortunately, the beautiful beaches and gorgeous hotel have been overshadowed by this truly shocking and terribly upsetting incident.

This is the most amazing beach in the Caribbean.
Posted by Andy_Smacs
This beach has to be seen to be believed. It shallows out very slowly - which makes it perfect for little kids. We love to bring a bottle of wine and watch the sun go down.
