We came to Coral Gardens on Grace Bay in Providenciales (Provo), Turks and Caicos Islands for the first time in 2000 and stayed for 8 days, the next year we stayed for 12, the next 14. Loved it so much we bought a condo in 2003 and now we stay 3 weeks in the summer and 1 or 2 times the rest of the year. Being snorkelers at the time, Coral Gardens was a perfect choice for us and our son. The Bight Reef was right there with a variety of sea life, coral and
sea turtles. The white sand was gorgeous and the surf nice and gentle for snorkeling and just floating on a raft. So peaceful and relaxing! We later became certified divers with the certification process taking place right at the resort. Diving in TCI is awesome! Wall diving there is some in the best in the world.
Guests at Coral Gardens are there but one day before they feel like they are a member of the family. The resort is small so everyone knows your name and will take great care of you. We can honestly say in 11 years we have never had a bad meal on Provo. The restaurants are great from Coco Bistro, the Magnolia, Tiki Hut, Da Conch Shack or Shark Bites just to name a few. You could stay for a month and not eat in the same place twice! Of course our own Somewhere Cafe on the property is not to be missed. After 11 years we just feel no where else in the Carribean compares to here. Our condo is so roomy and wide and home-like we always hate to leave and start counting the days till we are back. We have walked the beaches for many years and our condo building is literally the closest to the beach in all of Grace Bay. We feel it is our little corner of paradise - hope you will too!
