Our stay at Ocean Club West Resort, in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos (also known as TCI) was a dream.
It was the perfect destination for a winter escape from New York City!
Ocean Club West, a part of Ocean Club Resorts, and Ocean Club Turks and Caicos, is a beachfront resort right on Grace Bay Beach.
I’m so excited to be sharing my Ocean Club West Turks and Caicos review with you all.
Where to Stay in Turks and Caicos
Grace Bay Beach has been crowned best beach in the world for numerous years, so I knew we had to stay here.
And I have no regrets – if you’re planning a vacation to Turks & Caicos, you MUST stay on Grace Bay Beach.
It is the quintessential blue water Caribbean beach.
I chose Ocean Club West because it is beachfront on the best beach. I wanted to spoil myself!
Ocean Club West Amenities
Ocean Club West has the perfect location on the stretch of white sand, and incredible amenities.
Upon checking in, we were greeted by the warmest reception and were driven to our room with a full kitchen, A/C, closets stocked with water activity equipment, and a giant balcony overlooking the clear blue water.
I loved the interior decor as it was warm, inviting, and perfect for the beachfront.
Amenities include a full fitness center, tennis courts, golf club, a beautiful pool, and numerous restaurants.
Stand-up paddle boarding, kayaks, and bikes are also available free of charge to all hotel guests.
Ocean Club West has an amazing pool right by the beach with umbrellas, chairs, fountains, swings, and hammocks.
Our stay could not have been more comfortable with the amenities provided by Ocean Club West.
Ocean Club Resorts Restaurants
There are also three restaurants run by Ocean Club Resorts Turks and Caicos: Solana Restaurant (right next to the pool at Ocean Club West), Cabana Bar & Grill, and their fine dining establishment Opus.
The food at all three restaurants were amazing, with a wide range of dishes that catered to any taste from sushi to island delicacies like jerk chicken. The staff were beyond friendly.
Turks and Caicos Islands
There are so many activities and sights to see on Turks & Caicos islands.
Horseback Riding
The highlight of my trip was horseback riding with Provo Ponies in the Caribbean. I highly recommend them on your trip to TCI!
I had no prior riding experience they teach you how to control your pony, and guide you to the beach.
Snorkeling Tour
We also went on a snorkel tour with Big Blue Collective where we swam with hundreds of fish at two snorkel spots.
We stopped at a beautiful island with all white sand and shallow Caribbean blue water with no people in sight.
Turkberry
Turkberry is a short bike ride away and they have the BEST frozen yogurt and the cutest decor.
Tips for Turks and Caicos
1. On Thursdays, the country’s tourism board hosts a Fish Fry, where food and craft vendors bring together delicious food, live music, and local crafts. Worth a visit, and only a short cab ride away from Ocean Club West.
2. USD is accepted everywhere, and most places accepted credit cards.
3. Tipping is customary, bring cash to tip!
4. Local delicacies are jerk chicken (TCI’s own spice rub), fried fish, and conch. You cannot go wrong with the seafood here!
I cannot wait for our next Turks & Caicos trip. There is so much more to see on the island and I don’t think I can ever get enough of the white sand and clear blue water. I will definitely be back!
Please do not hesitate to DM me on Instagram with any questions about Turks and Caicos. I hope you have the best trip!
