Parrot Cay Island Hotels

Location, location, location.... it is situated on a relatively quiet section of gorgeous Grace Bay Beach. Since there is not a developed property on either side of the resort it doesn't feel crowded and it feels isolated in a good way. The palapas and beach staff are wonderful. The hobie cats and water boards are included and easily accessible. Our studio had a small kitchenette, which was nice. The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. Our second floor room had a view of the ocean, which was beautiful. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly and very helpful. Hemingways restaurant was very convenient as it was right on the edge of the beach. You could sit in the sun on the deck or under a covered area. The food was always delicious so we had breakfast daily and even ordered lunch on the beach. There were two weddings over the weekend but the guests never took over the resort. The pool closest to the beach was lovely and a nice spot to sit at the end of the day. Overall, we thought it was terrific and had a lovely visit. We would definitely recommend it to friends and would come again with our children on another visit. Great spot for a couple to get away.

We received a free upgrade to a one bedroom right next to the pool. Hemingways restaurant was also great. Delicious fish and chips. The beach was awesome and never too crowded. We could always find a hut and chairs.

My brother got married on a nearby all inclusive megaplex. That's a) not our style and b) not our budget. The Sands is very comfortable, very friendly, very professional, and down right lovely. My brother said his resort was too much like Disneyland. A 5 minute bike ride to nearby shopping area, we got simple groceries each day, and patronized local businesses. Make sure your trip includes a Thursday pm so you can go to the Fish Fry and hang with the locals. Highly highly highly recommend the conch chowder and pork stew (2 different things) at nearby grocery. Bikes were great! Rode all over the place. The resort was fantastic. We loved picking staff for local places to go. TCI, in general, food is expensive (alas we still saved baucoup $$ on this resort). Saw some nasty American tourists. Don't be like them. You're on vacay. Relax for God's sakes.

Water Sports Equipment included in the cost of the room. Our room had a sitting area, kitchenette which were excellent bonuses. Pool steps from our door. Plenty of shade to ovoid long periods in direct sunlight. If I mentioned anything, it would only be picky. Nothing to not like.

Location, staff, value because it included free WiFi and breakfast. A boutique hotel with super comfortable bedding and wonderful, professional staff. Shuttle was very convenient and accommodating. No I would definitely stay at Ports of Call again :)

Excellent hotel, very clean and peaceful. It had everything we were looking for No

First visit to Turks and Caicos; the Gansevoort made us feel so at home. Everyone was so friendly and always there to help. Beach service was great; no problem getting a drink or food on the beach; however the service fee did get rather pricey after awhile. The pool was spectacular. Having Coral Gardens reef just a few minutes down the beach was a special treat; resort provided snorkeling gear so off we could go to snorkel the beatiful reef! Studio room was nice however our shower did have a leak which caused a puddle in middle of floor. Lots of towels and toiletries. And tons of beach towels so never have to be without one! Staff knew us by name and everyday would stop to chat with us. Very peaceful resort; very few kids which made it nice. It would be nice if it was an adult only resort but with Beaches right down the beach; most families take their kids there anyways. Lots of honeymooners here; and everyone seemed to be very friendly with each other. Only drawback is the food/drink is pricey all over the island and cabs are $$$$. The resort's restaurant has the very best key lime pie! Computer set up at front desk area; very quick internet connections so we were able to stay in contact with those back home. Did not use WiFi; why bring laptop when we are on vacation! A great way to celebrate our wedding anniversary; would come back here for sure. Love the islands and the people! Hotel met our expectations; staff was superb. The one thing I did not like was the feather pillows; I was sinking in them every night!

The hotel is beautiful and breath-taking upon arrival. The restaurant Bagetella is fabulous over looking the pool. My room had an excellent view of the ocean and with the doors and windows open, the ocean breezes was soothing. I highly recommend the resort, its new fresh and trendy.

We stayed here for honeymoon 8/16 - 8/22 in luxury beachfront room w/terrace. The included airport shuttle was ready for us when we walked out of airport. Upon check in at the beautiful outdoor lobby they scheduled our departure shuttle. We were given a tour of the beautiful grounds and escorted to our room. Awaiting us was complimentary chocolate covered strawberries, Moet champagne and congratulatory card. We didn't see that coming, but were excited to be thought of. The room, and especially the view of the ocean, took our breath away. It was better than the pictures on Gansevoort's own website. Splurging on beachfront is definitely worth it! We enjoyed the view of the ocean from everywhere in the room including the oversized rain shower. Our favorite thing to do each day was hit the button for the auto shade and lie in bed looking at nothing but water and sky. The large and spacious balcony is another great place to take in the view. We lounged and ate there. The daily free breakfast was adequate w/fresh fruit, cold cereals, a variety of milks, breads, teas and juices. You could also order from the menu. Be prepared to spend a bundle on food and the taxis to get to it. Great place + Great staff = Great Vacation

It was our last night. Halloween - October 31, 2009. The moon was nearly full. My girlfriend Missy's birthday was the next day November 1st, but that was our day of departure, so we were celebrating it the night before. We arrived at the hotel's Bagatelle Restaurant at 7pm and to Missy's surprise we were escorted to the beach. With torches lining our path we were led to a table on the beach with one of those half moon love seats off to the side. With our feet playing in the warm sand, champagne toasts throughout and J setting the stage as our waiter extraordinaire the evening played out perfectly. The Bagatelle salad which Missy said was the best salad she ever had and a lobster tail with the essence of spectacular spices to match, the dinner was as good as good can be. The restaurant staff of 8 came out signing happy birthday and presented Missy with a classic birthday cake. They left, and we asked J our waiter to pull up a chair and have some cake with us. So there we were, Me, Miss and J from Haiti sitting on the beach laughing and enjoying the ultimate setting. And that's what the Gansevoort is about. It's about the people. Sure the beds are great and the food is excellent, and the fitness room is clean and... whatever. It's about M L the yoga instructer who became friends with Missy instantly. It's about A at F&B and Rooster, J and the waitstaff who will do anything for you. It's about K M the Standards Manager and T Q from Operations who always smile at you. It's about M O'B, and B, and S at the beach, so for us it's about the people at the Gansevoort
