Turks and Caicos Scuba Diving Holidays

Royal West Indies is my home away from home. Been going back to this resort for 25 years, since it was first built. Beautiful grounds, pools, beachfront. Nice restaurant and bar on site. One of the best prices on Grace Bay, not too big, not too small. Like in the Little Red Riding Hood story, it's just right.

Staff is friendly, resort is safe and clean

We picked the perfect time to come. Spring break is over and the summer season hasn’t started yet. Place was dead! Maybe 10 other couples. Weird that the restaurant/bar doesn’t charge to the room. That prevented us from eating and drinking there. Without keeping a tab open it was a pain so we went elsewhere. Breakfast was good, room provided what it was supposed to. Everything on island is ridiculously priced. So you never feel like you’re getting value. This was the cheapest place we found and it was still way over priced.

The Sands was a fine hotel but they fell short in several areas. Staff was generally unfriendly- specifically restaurant, store and front desk. There was an ant problem outside the room each night and we did find a few ants in our room. Room layout is awesome! Location also helpful. We like a resort feel and felt The Sands did a poor job of making guests feel pampered. Was very difficult to get beach service and when we did it arrived in a paper takeout bag. Also, there are very few game activities for teens.

Very chill and relaxing. Easy access to beach.
