Coral Gardens on Grace Bay

This really was a nice resort, very clean. Friendly staff. I would suggest better sheets as they were rough. And better wifi as I could not do my work there.

What an amazing gem this complex is. We stayed in the one-bedroom unit 4303, and it was perfect. The unit was clean, had a great view, and was so close to the beach and snorkeling. We went on one excursion and they picked us up and dropped us off right in front of the complex. The complex staff was exceptional, helping with anything we needed. The chairs are always available and are free. There was also free laundry. We will be back again!! One drawback was the construction right next door at the Andaz. It seems like it will be done soon, but it was LOUD and constant the week we were there. We will definitely go back again, but after the Andaz is complete!! Coral Gardens is a hidden gem!!

Upon our arrival to the Coral Gardens office we were greeted by Vern and Tyler with their smiling faces and sense of humor. We were shown to our rooms and upon entering were amazed by how pretty it was and the beautiful view of the clear turquoise ocean. The place was spotless from the floor to the appliances. The next morning we went out to the balcony to admire the view and also do some warm-ups for a day of snorkeling. The reason we chose Coral Gardens was because of the coral reef right outside. The snorkeling didn't disappoint. I was blown away by all the beautiful tropical fish that live on the reef. My favorite was the Queen Angel fish, so colorful as if hand-painted. I love that Coral Gardens is making an effort to keep that important reef safe and protected. Thanks also to Jerome and Moses for keeping the Beach area and white sand looking great. We did not rent a car and did not feel the need to. We ate most of our meals at Somewhere Cafe and also at a couple other restaurants which you could walk to from the beach. We found the food at Somewhere to be delicious and fresh tasting. The Staff at Somewhere were helpful, kind and upbeat including the bartenders both downstairs and upstairs. We're not always good at remembering names but Cappy and also the beautiful lady with the purple eyeliner (she'll know who she is) were very sociable and kind. The staff seemed to be a close knit "family" who had an appreciation of being so close to the beautiful Turks and Caicos water. We also enjoyed the live music in the evening. Want to give a shout out to Leanne who assisted us in setting up our visit and for giving some good tips. As far as the nearby construction we did not hear any noise throughout our trip. Although we had a short stay it will always be a memorable experience and hope to return again.
