- Beach loungers and umbrellas to enjoy lazy days on the beach doing nothing but basking in the sun, reading, drifting away, having the occasional cocktail, and cooling off with a dip in the pool or beach
- This is a limited service property (no restaurant or bar on the resort), so that in itself means that there are less people walking around, in the pool, etc
- There’s a nice sized pool (not too small, not too large), with very little people using it most times
- Several spas are nearby including the spa right next door at Point Grace and the Regent Palms which is a 15 minute walk down the beach or a short cab ride
- Lots of restaurants within a short walk including restaurants/bars (Hemmingway’s and Grace’s Cottage) at the two resorts Point Grace and Sands as you walk east. There’s also an awesome Sushi restaurant Yoshi’s just about five minutes walk away on the main Grace Bay road
- There are under a dozen units at this resort with suites in the rental pool… So not many people around making it ideal for relaxing
- With the exception of a few sea kayaks, there are no non-motorized watersports at the resort, so when you’re on the beach, there’s very little activity with guests coming in and out of the water with equipment (just peace and tranquility all around)
WEST BAY CLUB
Luxury Beachfront Resort
HIGHLIGHTS: 50 Suites – Beach Front – Grace Bay Beach West End – Complimentary Full Breakfast – Atlantic Bar And Grill and Stix Restaurants – Fitness Center – Pool – Non Motorized Water Sports – Spa Services – Free Wi Fi

- An excellent location in the heart of everything in the Grace Bay tourist area, yet offers a quiet setting/ambiance in and around the resort itself
- The resort’s restaurant The Vix is toward the back of the resort (you have to actually leave the parking lot) so you won’t see people going and coming for food, but, there’s a well stocked bar right by the pool (convenient)
- Beach and pool attendants will approach you for orders (not very often, but often enough)
- Massive pool with hot tubs means lots of space to enjoy (not private, but it’s a large space, so you don’t feel crowded)

We Have friends to prove it.
We’ve been visiting these islands for almost a decade and trust these guys to always ‘get it right’ every time. Friendly, helpful, accessible, and insightful. Highly recommended. Two thumbs up!.

Working with Turks & Caicos Reservations was the smartest thing we did when we decided that we were headed to Turks! Their agents were so helpful in select the right resort. We loved knowing that they knew the island 100% and meeting Val for coffee one morning was like meeting an old friend who we had not seen in years!
Roberta & Larry, New Jersey
Read about this ‘on island’ group on the Tripadvisor forums and decided to book with them; smartest decision we made, the extra info and insight they gave was invaluable. Booked a 2nd time and loved it even more! Looking forward to their recommendation on our 3rd visit!
