Coral Gardens on Grace Bay

Upon our arrival to the Coral Gardens office we were greeted by Vern and Tyler with their smiling faces and sense of humor. We were shown to our rooms and upon entering were amazed by how pretty it was and the beautiful view of the clear turquoise ocean. The place was spotless from the floor to the appliances. The next morning we went out to the balcony to admire the view and also do some warm-ups for a day of snorkeling. The reason we chose Coral Gardens was because of the coral reef right outside. The snorkeling didn't disappoint. I was blown away by all the beautiful tropical fish that live on the reef. My favorite was the Queen Angel fish, so colorful as if hand-painted. I love that Coral Gardens is making an effort to keep that important reef safe and protected. Thanks also to Jerome and Moses for keeping the Beach area and white sand looking great. We did not rent a car and did not feel the need to. We ate most of our meals at Somewhere Cafe and also at a couple other restaurants which you could walk to from the beach. We found the food at Somewhere to be delicious and fresh tasting. The Staff at Somewhere were helpful, kind and upbeat including the bartenders both downstairs and upstairs. We're not always good at remembering names but Cappy and also the beautiful lady with the purple eyeliner (she'll know who she is) were very sociable and kind. The staff seemed to be a close knit "family" who had an appreciation of being so close to the beautiful Turks and Caicos water. We also enjoyed the live music in the evening. Want to give a shout out to Leanne who assisted us in setting up our visit and for giving some good tips. As far as the nearby construction we did not hear any noise throughout our trip. Although we had a short stay it will always be a memorable experience and hope to return again.

Extremely noisy and the staff blaming it on the construction next door. We felt we weren’t listened to in other words dismissed when we said the noise was definitely coming from inside the building we were in. If it wasn’t for the noise this would be a great place to visit

You couldn't ask for a better view, what a wonderful location. We stayed in Villa 1202 which had an amazing view, opening all the sliders was amazing. The condo was so spacious. The property was spectacular, having Somewhere right there gave us live music most evenings from our balcony. It was not disruptive, it was enjoyable. The beach itself was perfect with the reef for snorkeling right at your feet. Perfect for families, couples, friends. The location was wonderful, we did rent a car but everything was really close by. The staff at Coral Gardens was so accommodating, they were all friendly and helped with reservations and suggestions for tours. You can't pick a better place to stay. Book it now before it's too late. You'll regret it if you don't. We loved it and can't wait to return.
