If you haven't been to Turks and Caicos, the photos barely do it justice. Providenciales, or "Provo," boasts the most beautiful clear blue water in the world. Wade in chest deep and still see your toes. And the beach? Powdery fine sand that goes on for 12 unspoiled miles. Even in the high season, you can find hundreds of yards of beach with no one on them. Conde Nast Traveler and countless other publications have called Grace Bay the No. 1 Beach in the World. If you've been, you know why. The sand is white and soft as powdered sugar and doesn't even get hot from the sun! The water is a translucent turquoise blue. Other beaches around the world claim postcard beauty like this, but Grace Bay is the real thing. From Thailand to Hawaii, from Fiji to the Seychelles, nothing compares. Even in the "busy" season, you can find hundreds of yards of beach with no one on them to call your own.
Our elegant oceanview studio features gracious island decor including queen bed, 2 nightstands, dining table, sitting area, armoire, double closet, imported tile floors, granite kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator and wet bar, marble bathroom with walk-in imported tile shower, and a washer-dryer right in your unit. Your own spacious private balcony with ocean view features a teak bar table with 2 chairs, and chaise lounge.
The Alexandra Resort, only 4 years old, is nestled on several acres on Grace Bay Beach. Wander down to the beach in front of the Alexandra and relax on the resort's exclusive chaise lounges with umbrellas. Order a drink from the beachside bar and sip it on the beach or the large deck overlooking the sea. Take a respite from the Caribbean sun and eat lunch in the covered lanai Orchid restaurant. Take a dip in the large landscaped lagoon pool with bridge and swim-up bar. Work out in the air-conditioned fitness center with ocean views. Visit the world-class spa next door at the Palms. Scuba or snorkel while exploring the world's third-largest coral reef system. Play tennis. Go deep-sea fishing. Parasailing. Golf on a course Tiger Woods has played. The ways to while away a day are endless.
At night, dine on local delicacies and fresh seafood at some of the best restaurants in the Caribbean. Try your luck at the nearby casino. Visit the disco at Club Med. Hear some local Caribbean music.
It's all a short flight away. From 8 North American cities, the flights are nonstop! Turks and Caicos is perhaps the easiest Caribbean island to reach from the U.S., Canada and England. Treat yourself. You deserve it.

I would highly recommend this property. The enitre property was clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly. There were plenty of lounge chairs both at the pool and on the beach. The Mango Reef Resturant did not disappoint.

The Turks and Caicos islands are some of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. Providenciales, or Provo, boasts Grace Bay Beach. Thanks to government foresight the entire beach is public access. Nestled in the center of this national park is The Alexandra Resort. The Alexandra Resort is the result of a local real estate developer. The four buildings encircle the pool and the highly regarded Mango Reef Restaurant. Only a few steps from the pool is the incredible beach with unobtrusive, yet attentive staff, that helps set up your umbrella and chairs for the sun. Of interest to vacationers is the fact that Turks and Caicos has only two major chains - Club Med and Beaches. Alexandra Resort is three resorts away from Beaches and avoids the noise and churn of the crowds. The resort is convenient for a 30 minute walk to great snorkeling and to Regent Village for shopping. Staff at the Alexandra is attentive to your needs. This rental is in the Prima Donna building facing the pool. It has a "to die for" beautiful beach view. The building is meticulous and the furnishings are everything as described. This studio is everything you need and more for a two person get away. The owner is extremely responsive to any requests prior to and during your stay. Be sure to take advantage of the welcome orientation on Sunday which is hosted by the resort. You get fresh coffee and pastries from "Fresh Bakery" while learning how to best navigate the island. It will help you understand the best values for shopping, tours, etc. You can replenish your kitchen with their daily taxi to the nearby IGA for only $9.00 round trip. This is a true bargain. Another plus is you can order take-out from Mango Reef and enjoy your ocean view from the patio with your wine. There is a daily prix fixe for $42 which includes one app, one entree, and one dessert. If you're going in lobster season try the curry lobster. All your bar and restaurant incidentals can be applied against your credit card on file for an easy check out. The other bonus to being at the resort is the Manager's reception on Monday night which includes apps and wine. The one hour time gives you an opportunity to meet the management as well as long term tenants and guests. If you're still reading, you can tell that this is a special place with a great, responsible owner. Needless to say, we'll be back!

My wife and I visited for our 20th wedding anniversary. Location is close to being, if not the best on the island. Property and adjacent properties are Very nice. The beach is one of the best we have experienced. Sand is super white and it does not get hot. Property has a great restaurant with a great view! Food is great with live music 2-3 times per week. A lot to do. We did several excursions- parasailing, snorkeling, sight seeing. Conch is great! Would definitely like to go there again.

We enjoyed our stay at The Alexandra very much. This was probably the cleanest beach area room we have ever stayed in, including resorts here in the states. The Mango Reef restaurant at the resort was wonderful and there are many other great places just a short walk down the beach.

The Alexandra is an amazing property with lush gardens, beautiful pools and the best beach set up ever. The pictures and ad description were accurate and the room was very clean and well maintained. Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend this unit based on the value, price and location in Provo. The condo was well serviced with adequate towels, linens and a perfect kitchen. Sitting out on the deck overlooking the pool and listening to music from the restaurant was so much fun. The gym facility was great, with music and awesome equipment. This was my second trip to Provo and we did not rent a car this time because everything is well within walking distance for local shopping and restaurants. There is a little convenience store just behind the property for souvenirs, drinks, etc and a short walk to the very inspirational and local church services at Jericho Baptist Church, a must visit for an uplifting experience. We also attended the Creole Baptist in downtown Provo. The locals and service people are warm, friendly and genuinely helpful. Some of the nicest people I've ever met. Check out Anna's Gallery in Salt Mills Plaza to see the local artwork, paintings, crafts, etc. I met one of the local painters and brought back one of a kind scenes of the beautiful sea. Also check out the local eatery called Ange & Al's for authentic Creole fare, very good prices and a chance to eat with the islanders. My parents are physically disabled so I was checking to see if this unit could accommodate them and although it's not ground floor, there is an elevator and adequate space in the room to get around with a walker, with a large bathroom and walk in shower for disabled use, which is a plus. I can't wait to return!

Great location, great beach, great restaurant on site just to name a few. Easy to rent, paid with paypal and owner was very friendly and helpful. Staff at resort was super friendly and helpful. We recommend renting a car... was cheap and very easy to navigate around the island. Make sure to have lunch or dinner at the Horse-eyed Jacks...the conch salad was very tasty. The beach at the resort is amazing. A coral reef about 1 mile from shore stops all the surf/waves from hitting shore. The sand was perfect and water was the clearest I've ever seen in Carribean. We also highly recommend the 1/2 day snorkling trip that leaves from resort. The crew was outstanding and the places they stop are amazing. Also great snorkling within walking distance from resort at the Coral Gardens. A large reef 10 feet from shore with fish and coral all over. The condo was very clean and modern. Nice washer and dryer in the room and WIFI service. The view is amazing from the balcony, has a small table with two chairs and one lounge chair on it. Very relaxing resort, we hope to return very soon.

If you are looking for a beautiful top notch getaway with a beach beyond description and the clearest and warmest Caribbean water, then travel to Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos. The rental process was simple. E-mail correspondence with the owner answered all our questions. They also provided us with great advice. In our opinion, the Alexandra is a solid 5-star resort, the listing photos are a true reflection but being there tops that! The price for a weeks' stay is unbelievably affordable. Our rental accomodation, although basic, was extremely well appointed, clean and reflects high end maintenance. The kitchen, with small refridgerator, microwave, 2-burner portable cooking surface and utensils was just enough for us to make breakfast every morning. The big shock is the price of food at the IGA supermarket. We bought basic breakfast food, eggs, milk, bread, fruit,etc, for our seven day stay at a cost of $80.00. We strongly suggest that you bring crackers, popcorn, chips, granolla bars, etc, in your luggage...this will save you a lot of money! The view from the 3rd floor balcony is a ten out of ten! The beautifully maintained grounds and pool facilities is just below the unit with a panoramic view of the white sand beach and pristine Caribbean water. The choice of restaurants within walking distance (in the surf)...especially at night, is fantastic. We vote for the Alexandra and its Mango restaurant with scrumptious entrees under a cool and beautiful sky, and just a 2-minute walk from our unit. Prices are about what you would pay in the states at an upper class restaurant. We are already planning our vacation for next year at the Alexandra and the same rental unit. After traveling to many Caribbean Islands, This is our choice for future vacations!

I was pleasantly surprised once I landed in Grace Bay and entered the resort at Ocean View. I had never been to Turks & Caicos but didn't want to leave once my vacation was over. You have great views from the room and never had to leave the resort. There was a very good restaurtant and wet bar at the pool area. Ocean View is centrally located so it is very close to other restaurants in town and the shopping area if you'd like to venture from the resort. I would recommend this resort to families, singles, retirees. It has all you would be looking for.

This was our second rental of this lovely, clean and nice condo. It's compact but have everything you need just like at home. Staffs are courteous and are very helpful whenever you need them. Location is right at the center of Grace Bay and many nice restaurants are within the walking distance along the beaches. We will stay there again for our future visits and strongly recommend it to our friends and relatives.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in T&C. The complex is right on the beach and my condo had a beautiful view from the balcony. It seemed there was always a breeze blowing my way. It was a good value all things considered (size, location, and quality of facility). The owner was very responsive during the reservation process. I peppered him with questions and he responded via email very quickly. Everything was well maintained. I think the grounds were just fully revamped. The Mango Reef restaurant was a personal favorite and is on site.
