I’m a champagne experience with beer pricing kind of traveler. I like affordable luxury. West Bay club hit the mark for my husband and I for a long 4 night weekend in early Sept. it was our first time traveling to Turks and Caicos’s. It’s off-season which we did not realize so a lot of the restaurants that are talked about on TA that I read prior to staying here are closed this time of year. Didn’t really matter to us. Upon arriving at this small boutique luxury property, we were kindly greeted with a delicious rum punch and given cute aluminum water bottles with caps that we can fill up at water stations throughout the property. Our efficiency king suite priced at about $300 a night was quite lovely with two small partial ocean and partial pool balcony views that was surprising because I expected no view with booking the lowest room rate. Suite was quite large with small Efficiency kitchen with fridge , toaster, coffee maker and microwave and include free teabags , coffee and canned water s. We chose to rent a small car for $250. A little tricky driving on the left side, but we went slow. Grocery store very closeby and we bought a few snacks, sodas,wine and vodka to avoid paying the $20 priced pool drinks. The pool area with fountain was peaceful, relaxing, and uncrowded with comfortable towel covered wood chaise longer under umbrellas and a couple of foam pool loungers that you could float on. The white soft sand beach and turquoise blue ocean water on Grace Bay was easily accessible with same nice pool chase loungers and an attendant easily available to help set you up all for free of charge but tipping appreciated. It was quite hot this time of year. A snorkeling trail is about a 10 minute walk to the right and snorkeling equipment for free can be obtained from the beach attendant. We are divers and thought the snorkeling was nice. Lots of pretty fish. My husband saw a small turtle. I’ve been on dives that are about as good. Nothing huge in terms of snorkeling but I’ve heard people see they saw stingrays and nurse sharks. We drove around the island a little bit and visited the remote Taylor Beach one afternoon. Didn’t stay very long, but it was pretty to see the beach and drive around the island. Very similar to other Caribbean islands in that regards. ||Other than a couple restaurants close by and the grocery store, a car is really needed. The downtown area is too far away, but really there was not much going on downtown this time of year and many things were closed. |A good plentiful breakfast was available every morning, including made to order omelettes, breakfast meats, bread, fresh, orange juice, and coffee pretty |On-site restaurant available. Had the Margherita pizza for $20 one night and it was quite good. Went to the fish fry one evening on Thursday. As others have said, maybe something to see once. Food was average but pricey. Honestly, we were having trouble finding an easy cheaper place to eat our first day and many things were closed due to off-season We have not yet had a really nice meal out yet but we are going to the Marine room tonight. We splurged on an in room mobile massage. 60 minutes for $100. We didn’t use the hotels recommendation we just googled and booked online. It was lovely |I would come back again for a long, relaxing weekend if the price was right like I got this time.
