Turks and Caicos is the perfect destination to unwind and relax. It is a gorgeous island surrounded by palm trees with clear blue waters and white sand beaches. Carl and I went there for our mini-moon after our wedding and we had an amazing time! To celebrate, we wanted to find a beautiful Turks and Caicos luxury resort and we found that at Grace Bay Club! Grace Bay Club is an outstanding four and a half pearl property located on the pristine Grace Bay beach. It is known for its beachfront location, luxurious accommodations, gourmet dining options, and exceptional service from their attentive staff. It was actually the first luxury all suite resort in Turks and Caicos. It is such a perfect honeymoon destination, great for a family vacation spot, and a fun friends’ or couples’ getaway. In this post, I will be sharing my Grace Bay Club Resort Review and all the details of our trip!
Best Time to Visit Turks and Caicos
The best time to visit Turks and Caicos is from late November to mid April. The weather is warm with temperatures ranging from the 70s to 80s and there is a low chance of rain. This is the peak tourist season so keep in mind that accommodations and activities may be more expensive.
The shoulder season is from late April to early June and September to early November. During this time, there may be more budge friendly options, but there is a higher chance of rainfall.
Carl and I went at the beginning of November. Our trip was a mix of rainy and sunny days.
