Turks & Caicos ex. Amanyara and Parrot Cay
Interested in everyone's thoughts on where there are any other luxury options in Turks & Caicos aside from Amanyara and Parrot Cay (deem these not ideal when traveling with young kids). Finding it hard to differentiate among the remaining options. To calibrate, I have had nice stays in the past at the Gansevoort and West Bay Club but wouldn't call them luxury (mainly on reactive service, lack of comprehensive amenities). Curious if Somerset, Grace Bay Club, Seven Stars, or others are a step up. Priorities are a great beach (which of course they all have), a beautiful and warm (heated) pool, nice rooms and acceptable service and food.

if only the reply had a link to a webpage/blog/contact details that could help
To answer 5mSvGlow properly as it should be here on FT, I think you looked too quickly. Children aged 12 and under are priced as such for Regent Palms (both under Regent's site and their own regentpalmstci.com)
Worked for me to book using their site. They recently launched a soft season "All Inclusive" promotion.
The OP could add Grace Bay Club into their research too

Here is an agent I am using for my trip in 2 weeks. I am staying at the Regent Palms, but not bringing our kid. The wife and I need a vacation.

Amanyara Pavilion is elevated above the waterline with dramatic views of the sea and offers a private T-shaped pool...glassed-in extension overlooking a natural garden, that serves as a cozy sitting room. A teak wood sala provides a viewing point for sunrise and sunsets...personalized service provided by a Pavilion host.

Amanyara Pavilion includes a private pool and ocean view - this is the only unit with this feature (pool and ocean view)

Does the Season of Discovery stack with the Virtuoso upgrade or the FHR upgrade/massages amenities?

We were at Grace Bay Club about 18 months ago, family with 2 boys (11 and 12). Stayed in a 1 BR suite (which was spacious with a kitchen, nice terrace, IIRC the second bathroom had a seperate shower). Honestly we we were not really impressed with the resort in general. Lacks a bit of an exclusive, more secluded vibe. It's not a bad resort but my expectations were higher for the rates they charge. We would not return, there are far better options in the Caribbean.
