In addition to our pristine Grace Bay Beach location coupled with the great value and high levels of service and care that we provide travelers in Turks & Caicos, we are constantly finding new ways to make our guest experiences even more enjoyable and memorable. We take pride in the high number of repeat guests that our hotel welcomes year after year, as well as the growing number of new guests who are choosing to stay at our hotel based on positive traveler reviews.”

The Sands at Grace Bay resort continues to receive recognition for its dedicated employees and impeccable service, popular restaurant and outstanding guest reviews. In just the past few years, The Turks & Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association awarded two employees of The Sands at Grace Bay the, “Employee of the Year” and the “Heart of Hospitality” during the 2011 Star Awards. Additionally, the resort’s Hemingway’s Restaurant was named “Restaurant of the Year” at the 8th Annual Turks & Caicos Conch Festival held in 2011. More recently, both The Sands at Grace Bay and Hemingway’s Restaurant received the TripAdvisor 2012 “Certificate of Excellence” award for consistently achieving outstanding guest reviews on TripAdvisor.

In an effort to continuously improve upon the hotel’s luxurious resort accommodations and maximize guest experiences in 2013, The Sands at Grace Bay has made several property-wide enhancements that will be completed by December 2012.

A newly installed heater in the resort’s main swimming pool will keep guests comfortably warm during the cooler months. Additionally, all 114 luxurious studio and suite accommodations are receiving the following bathroom enhancements: Travertine stone shower, bathtub, flooring and baseboards; Kohler fixtures; curved shower curtain rods; cast iron slip resistant bathtubs; and a fresh coat of paint.
