Point Grace Resort and Spa, an SLH Hotel

The Best Turks and Caicos Resorts

"A boutique, repeat World’s Best Awards honoree (mentioned in 2021–2023) with under 35 rooms that fosters an intimate, neighborly feel; breakfast is included in the nightly rate. The property’s small scale encourages repeat encounters at the fitness center, beach, or Grace’s Cottage restaurant, and guests frequently use complimentary kayaks, Hobie Cats, and stand-up paddleboards. ADA-compliant common spaces and rooms are available; rates start from $548 per night." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"Its location on a relatively undeveloped stretch of Grace Bay Beach, and an atmosphere so subdued that guests sometimes feel they ought to be tiptoeing, make Point Grace a haven for people who want no sounds but the lapping of waves, and, occasionally, a recommendation from a waiter. The 28-room resort has a modernized British Colonial style; the roomy suites feature a full kitchen and washer/dryer; there’s an excellent, if small, spa; and the restaurant is romantic enough to encourage marriage proposals, or reinforce that they were the right thing to do. But guests looking for a party atmosphere, or whose pleasure is to see their kids happily splashing in the pool, might want to look elsewhere."

Point Grace – Hotel Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe? This is Turks and Caicos at its best: white sand beaches, electric turquoise waters, and sunshine pretty much every day of the year. The moment you step onto this exceedingly quiet, 33-key, all-suite property, you can feel your tension just melt away. What's the backstory? Point Grace is the boutique offering from Grace Bay Resorts, know for the posh Grace Bay Club and the more family-oriented West Bay Club . Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? The style here is very much inspired by British colonial architecture, with lots of dark mahogany woods, marble floors, four-poster beds, and shuttered windows. Each room here is furnished with antique accent pieces—those looking for sleek mixology bars and infinity pools won't find that here. But don't be fooled by the old-school decor, these rooms are outfitted with all the contemporary comforts of home: washers and dryers, full kitchens, and spacious living rooms to unwind after hitting the beach all day. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? No charge for Wi-Fi, but much like the architecture here, it appears to be from the last century. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? Breakfast is included in your rate. The colorful cushions and al fresco spaces at Hutchings Restaurant make it a relaxed and enjoyable place to have lunch (try the conch chowder and the reef fish tacos). Come evening, make a reservation at Grace's Cottage, a quintessential Caribbean fine dining restaurant where you can order from an extensive wine list and enjoy a locally inflected Caicos Bouillabaisse as palm trees flap in the wind. Thanks to its plum location on Grace Bay, Point Grace is also close to a number of other resorts and restaurants if you want to call a taxi and get off-property for a night. And the service? Since there are only 28 suites on this property, it feels like every staff member has the freedom to learn your name, memorize your drink order, and anticipate your every move. Special shoutout goes to the warm and welcoming drivers who bring you to and from the airport (transfers are included in your rate). What type of travelers will you find here? Because of the array of multi-bedroom suites, you will find multigenerational groups, but families with young children might be better off at one of Providenciales' larger resorts. There are signs around the property and especially by the pool encouraging quiet, so it might be unsuitable for rambunctious youngsters. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene? Grace Bay is a pretty developed part of Providenciales in terms of proximity to other resorts. That being said, it's entirely possible to spend the duration of your stay on property here and never feel like you have to leave. Those in search of connecting with local culture and exploring new neighborhoods might find more adventure at some other Caribbean islands. Here, it's all about unwinding at the beach. Is there anything you'd change? How much longer are we going to glorify colonial architecture? Any other hotel features worth noting? The spa is pretty divine, and includes a European-style thalassotherapy spa. The treatment rooms also come with French doors, which can be opened during your service, so you can enjoy a fresh sea breeze during your massage. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? It's a less pricy option as far as Grace Bay resorts go, and it feels stuck in a very singular point in time. But that being said, if you're just looking for the essential comforts of home and a good lounge chair by the beach, this is a good option that eschews the bells and whistles of a larger resort." - Todd Plummer
