Well, since I was hoping for some Marriott points, I may just book the Renaissance. It seems to be more of a sure thing since no one can really say if the Kimpton will deliver or not. Maybe I'll call myself and see if I can get any more information.

As far as Turks and Caicos, I been a couple of times and yes, nice bar at the airport. And you are correct about the food prices - outrageous. Last trip we brought lots of snacks in our luggage and packed a huge cooler full of perishables. We had a free extra checked bag but had to pay a bit for the excessive weight. But split between 9 of us, it wasn't much. I think a couple of friends may have purchased liquor at duty free, but the wine prices were not any cheaper than buying in T&C so we passed and picked it up on island.
