Turks & Caicos
We stayed at the Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos. The island and resort were beautiful. We liked Turks because not too many travelers had found the destination at the time, the water was clear and the beach was terrific. Even though we took a child and the resort was geared toward children, there were too many. We'd like to find a destination similar to Turks and Caicos. Any suggestions?

No, I would not recommend Beaches in Turks & Caicos to couples without children. Don't get me wrong, the resort was very nice. Parents tended to let their children run loose. There are several other nice resorts on the island that are nice for adults only. I highly recommend Turks & Caicos.

When we were at beaches two years ago, it was a very nice resort. Clean, good food, good entertainment. The servers could have been a little more friendly. Have a fun and safe trip. Wish I were returning to Turks! The water is the most beautiful I've ever seen. We took a seashell and Iguana Island Tour that was well worth the money.

There were too many children at Breezes? That is like complaining about too many naked people at a nudist resort. I could tell you about my favorite spot, but I like it because you seldom see a child.

I stayed at the Allegro Resort about 5 years ago. I loved it! It's a shame it was bulldozed to build condos as it was a very reasonable alternative to the beaches property.
If I go back, I would likely stay in one of the condos. There are lots to choose from on Grace BAy.

On Provo, Ocean Club is where I spent a nice weekend. Club Med is neighbor on the beach, so you can walk over and get something to eat and be grateful for not choosing it as a place to stay.
Ocean club would be one of the condos mentioned in the previous post. Quite civilized during my visit about eight years ago.

Really liked it. Visited Ocean Club West sister property and did not like it.
Royal West Indies Resort was also very nice and in same price range.
Parrot Cay where all the stars have homes apparently is also very nice but on a private island 30 minutes by boat away.
Fancier resports on Provo are the Palms which looked quite nice and Grace Bay.
But we were very happy at the Ocean Club Resort.

Go to Tripadvisor.com and you can read reviews.

Scuba on Provo was some of the best diving we've done anywhere, coral was in pristine condition. ^
Some other lodging on T & C:
The Palms on Provo www.thepalmstc.com , also Point Grace www.pointgrace.com
Less pricey Ocean Club www.oceanclubresorts.com
On Middle Caicos Blue Horizon Cottages www.bhresort.com
