Review T+L’S time for Turks and Cikos

During the winter season on the eastern coast, there is no better feeling of relief than that comes with a trip from JFK in New York to Turks and Cikos. Last winter, inspired by Travel + entertainmentThe best places to goThe name TURKS and Caicos are a destination that must be visited for 2025, my husband, and his nine -month -old son, and fled to the islands. We stayed in RopeA new resort with independent beach homes, hidden on Cooper Kak Bay on the southern coast of Providenciales. The resort is located on the virgin white sand, which is a corner sand ram of clean lines, coral surfaces, and sparkling private bathrooms that reflect the blue ocean of the island.

The walls and floors of the sun wash to the sun, which were opened in late 2024 and will be completely complete by 2027, made it very easy to switch gears from ice shoes to sunglasses. Modern Sandcastle was nominated in color, starting from the vibrant lobby plate (above) by the local artist Bradley Theodore, and the rainbow of bright stones and jewelry in the resort store. Caleidoscope followed us from color to restaurant, where there was a Scotch hood above Margareta and green Tobico On top of a heated locust.

Our days in The Strand were just as much as they were spent on the surface of the private pool or below on the hotel’s private beach. There will be no other hotel shared by this ribbon of sand with The Strand, which distinguishes this resort from most of the others on the island – in which the advanced Grace Bay shares. The meals at Delmar Restaurant at the site were polished and unofficial, and any meal was delivered to our elegant room with the same extent; The pavilion kitchens are fully equipped with everything from table tools to wine refrigerators. We have not even requested a bed line or diapers of the full size that was already waiting in our room-indicating our attention to the details that we have noticed throughout our stay.

Here, my full assessment of ropes on Turks and cakes.

Rooms

The accommodation in The Strand ranges from one bedroom wings with balconies to six -bedroom housing with direct access to the private beach. In all options, one standard feature is: Each room in The Strand features a sea view as its axis. “The unique thing in our resort is that all rooms are the ocean interface. We don’t see a partial view of the oceans. You just … there,” Jenny Haninberg, the hospitality manager in Strand, told me when I toured the resort.

The wings are every part of the largest attached “villas” – the villa can be divided into multiple wings for families (or separate ends) as needed. Each suite on the ground floor is characterized by a swimmer with its own knocks with a covered balcony-some with food tables, while others with ponds and TVs. We stayed on the ground floor wing, and we were happy with the presence of a dining table and a seating area on our balcony; Although it was beautiful, the bathtub was less useful for our family. The second floor wings are characterized by prejudices of the oceans, some of which include balconies on the whole surface with outdoor kitchens.

Our suite had a full kitchen, including a wine refrigerator, ice machine and Nespresso coffee, and cabinets filled with everything from the chopped tools to champagne psalms, which we all used. We liked to open the sliding doors to our sitting area to create an internal living room outside the Power, especially in the evening after dinner when live music from the bar below allowed to feel that I was out of the night, even when we had to be at home to put our child in bed.

The bedrooms are spacious (we had large enough to accommodate a full -sized baby bed without discouraging our movement) with a King’s size bed made of Freit linen, large cabinets, internal bathrooms with double ponds and rain dirt. The bedrooms on the ground floor have slid doors on the balcony of each outdoor wing.

I also toured the five -bedroom Strand housing, which are private homes available for travelers for rental. Each contains a group of “Casita” guest wings such as outdoor bathing, countless bathrooms, swimming pools, offices, children’s rooms, and outdoor kitchens.

Food and drink

Breakfast, lunch and dinner at Delmar Restaurant is served in Strand, which is the social center of the resort. On most of our residence nights, the restaurant was busy with hotel guests and external visitors, coming from all over the island to check the newcomer to the scene of the Providenciales Restaurant. We sat for leisurely meals in Delmar, sometimes on the front tables on the beach under the sky of the night, and we loved tuna and fragile covered with microcredit. We went out at the resort in Boston Wheeler one day and reached watching it while the captain was transported in the resort’s fishing (the red ravage of most of our stay). There was live music in the restaurant during several nights of our stay; Guests were regularly giving their tables to dance under the stars.

We ate breakfast in both Delmar, in our room, lunch meals from taco sandwiches, salads and club sandwiches every day under our umbrella in the swimming pool.

Activities and experiences

Strand offers a full list of activities and experiences that can be booked using a tablet without even leaving your room. Most activities are carried out with a third-party trips organizers, hunting, diving, diving, and more can be arranged as daily trips. Tennis and pickle ball are complete and open to play in the resort, and the rowing panels and boats are available for use on the beach. Spa and children’s club is still under construction, as in a large marina provides boat reptiles from all over the area the opportunity to have lunch and dinner in Delmar – Strand will be the first hotel to offer this possibility on Providenciales.

Access and sustainability

Seventy percent of the energy of a strand comes from solar energy, which is unfortunately uncommon for the Turks and cakes. All light finishes of light color and a wooden pergola paid together to keep things cold. The property works in partnership with Colorado -based Colorado Butterfly Favlion To protect habitats for pollinations. The land to the west and the north of the resort is part of a dedicated natural reserve that will not be developed. During my stay, I did not notice many accessories; The restaurant and the swimming pool are located at the bottom of several trips of the stairs.

location

The southern coast site in Strand is either a selling point or a defect, depending on the type of leave it plans. The resort will never share its own beach with another hotel, making it perfect for those looking for privacy on their vacation. But the chances of shopping and dining in Grace Bay Strip are 15 minutes drive from the resort. This means that guests are less likely to leave for coffee or quick lunch – any trip to the city will be less spontaneous than some resorts close to Grace Bay Road. However, renting a car was easy on Providenciales. We rented a jeep for one day during our trip, which was dropped and picked up in the resort. The island is not large, the resort is almost in the center of its southern coast, and we were easily able to explore the entire Providenciales Island from east to west in one day.
