Spring Break 2009 Tip: Providenciales, Turks and Caicos

Other posts by DesertMama

Spring Break 2009 will be here before we know it and if you’re looking for the perfect tropical escape have I got the place for you: Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.

Below are 7 reasons to head on down to this paradise over Spring Break 2009 – if the photos don’t automatically convince you.

1. Ocean Club Resorts. There are two Ocean Club Resorts in Providenciales and both are ideal for families and also girlfriend getaways, romantic weekends as well as weddings and honeymoons. Last month I spent some time at this gorgeous oasis and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spring break resort. The accommodations range from cozy studios suits to spacious three-bedroom apartments sitting on 12 miles of white sand beach. Special: Now through April 12, 2009 all packages are 20% off - stop by the Ocean Club Resorts site to learn more and find other specials.

2. Snorkling. If you haven’t heard, Turks and Caicos has some of the most spectacular snorkeling in the world. Big Blue offers snorkeling, diving and eco-adventures.

3. Spa Tropique. There is nothing like a little pampering while on vacation. Spa Tropique has three resort locations, day spa and mobile spa service to rental villas.

4. Miles of White Sand Beach. Seriously, as the waves rolled in I couldn’t tell where the white of the waves ended and the sand began.

5. Bambarra Rum, Tropical Frozen Drinks and Turks Head Beer. I don’t need to explain this one do I?

6. Conch Fritters. God bless the person who created this little tropical delight. Ocean Club Resorts has two restaurants Cabana Bar and Grill and Seaside Cafe both of which serve a very tasty example.

7. Sunset Cruise. My Sun Charter sunset cruise experience with the turquoise water, rum punch, stunning sunset and even a rainbow are etched in my mind forever – actually, the entire trip is. I’m extremely tempted to return over Spring Break 2009…

    Looks gorgeous. Love the white sand beach. I’ll think about T&C the next time I’m planning an island getaway. (I was just remarking to my husband yesterday that while we’ve been to the Caribbean several times, the only white sand beach we’ve ever visited was in Granada. It was on a very secluded part of the island, accessible only by 4-wheel drive. When we happened upon it, there wasn’t a soul there. Pure heaven.

    Spending many summers in Destin, Florida (and surrounding beaches), I am particularly fond of white sand beaches. I will keep this on my list of possibilities, when planning my next trip.

    Wish I could wiggle my nose and get there now!

    We were there last June for out anniversary, it is beautiful and completley relaxing as it has yet to be too overly commercialized, the locals (belongers) are very friendly and proud of their island, they were all very helpful with directions and advice. We stayed at the Sommerset, it was breathtaking, the service was incredible.

    The Turks and Caicos has somehow managed to avoid the overgrown tourism of other Caribbean airlines. It’s a true island paradise. Thanks for sharing your pictures, they’re fantastic!

    Just got back and stayed at OCW. Very nice, Ladies! I was warned there was little to do in TC but there is as much or as little as you care to do. I went down early for 4 days and the rest of the family followed. We beached and biked every day. You don’t need a car because all places are more than happy to pick youup. It is not an inexpensive island and there is very little povery there. It was obvious things are coming to a halt witht the economy, but that means the deals are there also. We had bypassed this island chain in the past but it’s a quick 3 1/2 hours non-stop from Boston. We got the 20% off deal but if you can find an owner- all the units are owned- it’s not a hotel, you can save another 20%.
