“After
an 11 hour flight on the service to Providenciales, I
was pleased that the transfer to Grace Bay was only 10
minutes. Peaceful and tranquil sum up my first
impressions. After checking into my large garden
room I headed for the al fresco restaurant which offered
an excellent choice of seafood and includes the speciality
dish of the island "Conch".
The following afternoon it was just a short boat
transfer to Parrot Cay where I was immediately whisked
off to my room by a golf cart! Although my room was
classed as standard, it was anything but. It was spacious
with a large 4 poster bed and a wonderful terrace
overlooking the garden.
The beach at Parrot Cay was absolutely fantastic.
I knew before I travelled to that Turks and Caicos that
they were famous for their beached but they really were
better than I expected.
Next stop was the Bahamas and the Pink Sands luxury
resort. This fabulous hotel can be reached by a 25
minute flight from Nassau than a water taxi to Harbour
Island, not really a big a hassle as it sounds!
Total calm and relaxation were again dominant
impressions, plus of course the pink hues of the
building and the stepping stones which lead to the
spacious bar, offering a nice atmosphere and refined
comfort with its large sofas. The stepping stones
were more of a challenge on the way out after a couple
of rum punches.
I should add that I though the food was fantastic with
a great menu selection.
If a week or so of relaxing indulgence in stunning
surroundings on some of the best beaches on the planet
appeal to you then I strongly recommend this relatively
undiscovered corner of the world. But hurry! it
may not remain a secret for long!
