When doing research on T&C a few weeks ago I ran across a posting that listed in order most or all of the hotels & condos that front Grace Bay beach. When I tried to do a search for it now, I couldn't find it. Could somebody kindly point me in the right direction for finding it, or relist the order of the hotels with any new additions that have been completed since that old post? Thank you!

It may have been a Howard posting. Why don't you click on his name and see if you can find it. What resort are you trying to determine the location of? I may know the answer.

Thanks--I did do a search under the resident expert's name, but there were so many responses to wade through, especially since the info I was looking for was buried somewhere in the middle of along line of responses. After spending about 45 minutes scanning I still didn't see it, so I gave up...

I'm interested in RWI, OC & OCW, The Sands, and any other place in the same price range. I know that OC is the farthest east along the beach so far, but that the neighboring land has been sold for development. I was wondering where the "louder" places along the beach were in relation to the other hotels and condos. It seems that most, if not all, of the places are near an AI or an otherwise rowdy joint. I'd also be curious to know where the best snorkeling is, aside from Coral Gardens...

From east to west--Ocean Club, Club Med, RWI. Grandview (Private condos), Grace Bay Club (ON going construction) Pinnacle, old Allegro being torn down to build condos, Villa Renaissance, Point Grace, Le Velle, The Sands, Sibonne, Sommerset.(Construction) The Palms, Alexandra resort and Spa.(Construction) Beaches, Coral Gardens, Turks and Caicos club. The land next to Ocean Club has been sold and they are going to build Toscana but don't know when they will start. Think your best bet is The Sands as Ocean Club and RWI are on either side of Club Med and the Grace Bay Club construction is on the OCWest side although may be pretty much done by next spring. No other place where the reef comes into the beach except at Coral Gardens. You can snorkel at Smiths Reef in Turtle Cove but it is a little farther out and water tends to be rougher. Better to take a half day snorkle trip or a day sail and snorkel trip.

One resource I used for an upcoming trip to T&C was the Provo map on caribbean-on-line.com. If you click the green symbol for hotels at the top, you'll get the list that corresponds with the numbers on the map.

But that list is outdated compared to Howard's list.

Thanks, HowardC!
