The property is well designed with all the amenities you could ask for, on a beautiful beach, the pool and hot tub felt great as well. We would stay here again for sure!

Love the fact that they give you free snorkeling gear and are generous with the towels. Location walking distance to numerous restaurants. I highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Hotels.com reviewer Scott said: We were welcomed with open arms and rum punch. It was our 25th anniversary and the staff left a bottle of champagne and a little beat for the occasion. Everyone was so nice and accommodating, from the Hemingway’s crew, to the cleaning service, to the beach staff. They really made us feel at home. We will definitely be staying again in the future.

Also, on the beautiful beach they have paddle boards, kayaks, and small sail boats to use that are also included. This is one of the best beaches in the world, it is truly great. there is plenty of room around multiple pools and the property is very well maintained.

The Sands at Grace Bay poolExpedia.com reviewer Richard said: We had the best time and would for sure come back to the Sands. The staff was wonderful, the grounds are well kept, our room was clean and had everything we needed! Hemingway’s is an awesome addition. We will be back!

Expedia.com reviewer Isabel D. said: I loved the size of the place. It is not a huge resort and the staff and services are superior! Washer/dryer in room which was great and a beautiful screen porch balcony that you could sit out on in the evenings and not get attacked by insects. Only place on Grace Bay that I saw that had screened porch balconies. There is no other place I would choose to stay at when visiting Turks and Caicos! The place exceeded my expectations and allowed me to have a wonderful time with my daughter. I hope to return soon.

Expedia.com reviewer Nicole said: This property is amazing. The rooms were clean and spacious. Washer and dryer in unit was incredibly convenient. The restaurant on site was excellent. This location is walking distance to many shops and restaurants.

The Sands Honored in 2018 Booking.com Guest Review Awards

The Sands at Grace Bay has just received the news that we have once again been honored in the acclaimed “Guest Review Awards” presented by Booking.com — and this year our score is even higher!

Every year, Booking.com celebrates properties with an average score of 8.0 and above for properties who have ten or more reviews online.

Booking.com says, “We know these properties have offered great guest experiences, and our Guest Review Awards are a great way to showcase this achievement.”

The score is based on all reviews that were published on the website during the 24 months preceding.

This is how Booking.com calculates average scores: Guests can evaluate six separate categories with four smiley or sad faces, each face counting for a score of 2.5. When calculating scores, Booking.com adds up the scores for Cleanliness, Comfort, Location, Facilities, Staff, and Value, and divides by 6 – the number of individual categories. Reviews automatically expire after 24 months.

Thank you to all our guests for the superb reviews and to our entire team here at The Sands for continuing to make guest stays into award-winning experiences!
