Hotels in Turks and CaicosThe Alexandra Resort

-The two bedroom deluxe ocean view suite runs at $540 a night, and sleeps 1-4 people, perfect for our family!-The amount of things to do at this resort is endless!

Hotels continued

La Vista Azul Resort-La Vista Azul is a lot more affordable compared to The Alexandra. Because we will be traveling in the off-peak season (04/24/11 - 12/16/11), a one bedroom ocean view suite runs at $275 rather than $325 which is a great deal! -There aren’t many activities offered through the resort like The Alexandra, but not to worry! There is plenty to do in the surrounding town. Fishing, snorkeling, sailing, diving, parasailing, and kayaking can all be found at the marina, for those after something a little less arduous, the choices include shopping, spas, sightseeing, whale watching, fine and casual dining, or perhaps just a gentle stroll along the beach. Tours are also available to special local attractions and historic sites.
