Sailrock Resort, South Caicos

We stayed in one of the beach villas for 4 nights and it was an incredible experience. Considering that it was more of the offseason, there were only 10 rooms occupied, which created the experience of having a private resort. The accommodations were top notch and so comfortable, modern and it was great to have a house on the beach. The Great House was well appointed and our food at both the restaurant there and at the Cove was amazing. Staff was awesome, friendly and very helpful. We had a great experience with the tour from Mr. Francis (he is a South Caicos native), the ATV tour with Ben, the Mixology lesson from Agus, and all of the help in getting things set up from Putra. Duane, our private chef was amazing and made our final dinner special, by making food based on our preferences and teaching us some tips and tricks along the way. We send a personal thanks to all!||The servers and beach staff was great, super chill and definitely most interested in making sure you are relaxing and having a good time. Everyone works on knowing you and the conversations are genuine with both staff and the other guests. ||It is the place to go if you want to relax in luxury. They have beach access at both the Atlantic and the Caicos bank (which is knee deep for miles). The pictures can't do the beauty and peace justice. If you are on the fence, go, experience it. We had to take 4 planes home due to where we live and I would have no hesitation in going back (even with all those connections).

Had an enjoyable stay at sailrock|The staff are generally excellent, especially the guys at the beach/ the cove beach bar/restaurant where nothing is too much trouble||We came from UK and only saw one other lots of brits, most guests are from the US which is obviously a much shorter hop, whereas for the same flight time brits could go to maldives, thailand etc||There is nowhere else to eat or drink locally, you need a taxi to go into town and they make that very very expensive, considering the distance. The bikes are not in great shape, so i wouldn't risk the 45 minute cycle into town. The resort is very expensive with the current exchange rate for brits, the menu price advertised then has 3 taxes/fees on top (so plus 10%, 12% & 9.25%) and then gratuity on top of that. It was a good way of cutting down our alcohol intake ||The Caicos bank side of resort (the cove) |has lovely fine sandy beach and turquoise water and is super shallow, however it also has small jelly fish sitting on the bottom as you walk in and a few people got a light sting (nothing bad), the bigger issue for me is the bottom is full of mud and the occasional big rock to stub your toe on. I wore sea shoes quite often to avoid this. Its also very shallow, so to get your shoulders under you need to sit down. Its not great for snorkelling as no reef. The hobbie cat was great fun, albeit they only had one sail, so only one hobbie was working. I didn't wear a life jacket because water appeared to be 3 foot deep max. They also have kayaks and SUP, but beware of the offshore wind- it makes it a lot harder coming back, but you could always jump off 500 feet out and walk back- its that shallow||The Atlantic side beach|Hardly anyone goes this side, but we enjoyed long walks up the 2 miles beach every day. When we arrived other guests warned us about the rubbish, but it was was worse than we could have imagined, it washes up every day from the Atlantic. Being someone who cant sit still i decided to clean the beach myself (all 2 miles of it) and put it into big piles for the staff to collect, after quite a lot of prompting and reminding they finally did collect it all on my last day. Its not their rubbish it washes in from the sea, most appeared to be off fishing boats and mainly plastic, but i still felt as the only resort on that beach they should at least regularly clean the rubbish, they clean the seaweed daily so why not the rubbish||I hope everyone appreciates a few useful tips above and i hope you too enjoy your stay at sailrock like we did||In conclusion for us 10 days was too much in one place (maybe that's just us) there are only so many items on the menu, the do make some changes to dinner menu but not breakfast and lunch

My husband and I have gone to TCI many times and finally decided to try South Caicos. I wish we had gone sooner. The room was immaculate, well-maintained and squeaky clean. The staff was attentive from pre-arrival through departure. The beaches and facilities are wonderful. The variety of having access to the Atlantic and the Caicos Bank side was truly special. The food was varied, high quality, and well-priced. The spa services were wonderful. This was a very relaxing and memorable trip. We will certainly return.

Well stayed at sail rock here’s what u need to no. Out private jet to get there we actually hired one for our family was 2 hours late. Food -no food. Food in town if u call it that was terrible 😞 and way over priced as the hotel was and not good. Breakfast only good meal.Not a place for kids as not sure what they would eat. Nothing to do there we did ATV ‘S which Benjamin was amazing we had allot of fun with him. Staff pretty good front desk women not friendly at all one of them always miserable looking never says hello. Rooms house wasn’t bad mold all Around pools shower not powerful at all and cleaning ladies barley clean we always had to ask them to re clean and then still terrible did only what u could see and never had pool Towels. I would not spend the money again Maldives better or actually anywhere else for this price I travel 3/4 times a year seen the world and was most disappointed for this trip. Yes it’s relaxing but bikes to ride are old and flat tires they put no effort into updating stuff at all so definitely don’t recommend it will not be back. Service on beach well none we had to complain and then finally got some. Stay home 🏠 save your money very disappointed was there 7 days actually lost weight what does that tell you.

This place was incredible. We stayed at one of the villas and it was absolutely gorgeous. The customer service was fantastic (Especially Ben and Putra). Everyone was friendly and genuine. The beach was mellow and not ever crowded. There were always chairs and umbrellas available. Even the rest of the people that stayed there were great. (Also the most well behaved children, which was a treat.) My only critique was that the food was a bit mediocre. For the amount of money it cost to stay here, I kind of expected better. However we did venture to town to the one and only "restaurant" on the island (and by restaurant, I mean backyard bbq), Triple J's and had some of the best jerk chicken I have ever had. (And I don't even like jerk chicken. So go, trust me, you will not be disappointed.) However one of the gentleman driving us home had clearly been drinking (not Big Daddy), so that was a little disconcerting. Other than that, I would 100% go back. It was amazing.|And the pillows! SO COMFY.

I can’t even explain how incredible and special this resort is. From the start with our contact with Jade and Putra… they catered to everything we could have wanted. One has to take a small jet or boat to South Caicos. We came in late due to plane delays in Atlanta, but the staff was there to welcome us like we were celebrities. Their warmth and love was evident from the start. Putra welcomed us with blue ocean specialty drinks on arrival to the resort. We got checked in and got upgraded to a beautiful two bedroom villa on the ocean. Great way to celebrate our 29th anniversary! So incredibly private. It seemed we had the whole beach to ourselves, Except for the wild donkeys which we loved to see. We stayed for 4 nights. The couples massage on the ridge overlooking the island was fantastic. Earlier we caught fish and found conch with David and Leo. The resort offers a private chef dinner which we did and it was amazing! Chef Prasad from Bhutan, cooked our Conch multiple ways, cooked our fish grilled and fried |Whole and beef tenderloin. He was fantastic! We even had him cook us some authentic Indian curry the next night.. So so good! Paul from Saint Lucia was great on helping us with meals and the wine list. They have alternating dinners on the beach with a bonfire or at he main house on the ridge. Ben from south Caicos told us about some incredible exercise activities. We hiked through the island, biked To Jerry camp, kayaked with nurse sharks and rays. We even found conch on our own there. We let those go free. No one can understand unless you have been on your own without humans in the wild. There was no one where we were on the island.|Andre the general manger was so courteous. Everyone and everything was perfect. I can’t say enough about this property and people, except we are likely to renew our vows there in a year here.

Stunning! Staff were so efficient, kind and could not do enough for us. Accommodations were beautiful. Food excellent. I recommend this to anyone who needs to relax, get away from it all and enjoy incredible scenery. Brilliant, I would definitely go back. So sad to leave.

We stayed for six days and five nights to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. It came highly recommended from our travel agent and we hadn’t traveled since 2015. The resort is located on South Caicos so an additional flight from the main island of Provo is necessary, But on arrival you are treated like personal guests with a fresh rum drink, and a short tour of the facility. There are two main types of rooms. We opted to go all out and stayed at one of the villas along the Atlantic coast. It’s a beautiful large dwelling with a magnificent view of the Atlantic ocean and a private pool, as well as separate bedroom, living room, and kitchen facilities, washer, and dryer and a small sitting garden. The beach here, however, is not meant for sunbathing. The water is rough and the beach is a little hard to enter, although the views are stunning. Most of the activity centers around what is called the GreatHouse, or the center house which serves as check-in as well as the main dining room. Breakfast and dinner are served here and I felt the food was very good, if not a little expensive, which is to be expected. There was a pool at the greatHouse but we did not see anyone use it for our entire stay. Most likely because most guests are either on excursions or walk or are driven down to the Cove. This is the heart of Sailrock and is a beautiful beach with Crystal clear Caribbean waters. Comfortable lounge chairs are already set up all with individual umbrellas and it is always easy to find a convenient set of chairs. The bartenders from the cove will bring drinks down to your chairs, and you can also walk back up and have lunch at the restaurant there if should you choose. Non-motorized water sports. Kayaking, and snorkeling are offered for free and there are always bicycles available at the greatHouse for bicycle excursions. Other activities, such as couples massages, and and a three hour boating excursion are extra and can be arranged ahead of time in the website of the resort. Every Saturday and Tuesday nights there are bonfires on the beach and dinner is served at the bar restaurant down at the Cove. It provides beautiful picture opportunities. Room service can always be ordered from the dinner menu or the menu at the Cove restaurant . Since the villas are not next to the great house or the Cove, jeeps always available from the staff to bring you to any location. They use the WhatsApp app. All you do is text and they appear. Departure was made easy by the resort staff who gave you all the information you need to know in order to have your luggage picked up and be transported to the small south Caicos airport where you receive your boarding passes for Caribbean Airlines.||There were a few negatives. Our air conditioning unit leaked in the living room on the first day, but was able to be fixed. The air conditioner in our bedroom leaked on our last day and was unable to be fixed. We were offered a move to another villa, but since it was our last day, we stayed at our own place. The manager did tell me that the resort has been open since approximately 2018 but Covid put them behind their plans and you get the feeling that the resort is just starting to be built up to where they want it to be. In addition, our previous travel to the Caribbean have been largely to the southern Caribbean. Places like Aruba Grenada, Antigua and Cancun. One difference that travelers should understand is that the water, while Crystal clear, is often colder in islands of the northern Caribbean Turks and the Bahamas, even at this time of year, then in the more equatorial areas. I found it difficult to swim in the ocean for a long period of time due to the temperature of the water and the somewhat stiff winds. The winds are mixed blessing. They do cool you off from the hotter sun and eliminate insects, but are constantly present as you emerge from the water. |I had somewhat expected the bathwater type temperatures that I had experienced previously in those other islands, and the water temperatures were surprisingly cool. Also, if you are afraid of flying or claustrophobic, the shuttlecraft from Provo to South Caicos could pose a problem. Security is also very tight. Our carry-on bags were manually searched at the small airport on South Caicos at departure, in addition to going through security again at the main airport on Provo. If you’re used to TSA pre-check in the states, it is vastly different at least in Turks and Caicos.|In summary, it’s a beautiful resort for a special excursion. If I return to the Caribbean, it probably would be to a more southern island largely because of the water temperatures and the additional travel required to get to Sailrock. I would never not recommend this resort, however.
