The Palms, Turks and Caicos

I am not sure where to start! The Palms is a beautiful, well maintained property. Green canopy with such beautiful landscaping and flowers. We stayed in lower lever ocean front 1 bedroom. I was pleasantly surprised at the size, quality and beauty of our unit. Could see the ocean, probably a better view from 2nd floor, but the trade off was we could walk into our unit from the beach patio door, which made it convenient and a good trade off in my opinion. The staff was beyond amazing to us. Remy, Clive, "Oats", Arlene and Daisai (not sure of spelling) were all so kind and went above and beyond for us. We ate at both restaurants for our entire stay and never had a bad meal. Servers were all very attentive. We felt very safe, property had security that was present. Beach is well maintained, and well staffed. Went on a 1/2 day private boat excursion to snorkel, Pine Key sand bar and Iguana island. It was worth every penny! Highly recommend this property if you're looking to relax on the pristine blue waters of Turks and Caicos and have your every need taken care of. We hopefully will return again soon:)

Friendly and attentive staff both at the front desk and at breakfast! Emilienne and Arlean took great care of us every morning! The Spa was great, though pricey and the pool area was spacious and beautiful. Also enjoyed eating at Parallel 23. Highly recommend this hotel.

The Palms at Turks and Caicos is amazing! Jane at SiSi was an amazing hostess and waitress! The meal and view were awesome. We had an amazing dinner ocean front with great drinks and wine too! Thanks for everything Jane! The atmosphere and bar are fun too!

This is an amazing location and offers a far better resort experience than can be had at larger resorts or other islands (I'm pointing at you, Aruba). A short shared taxi ride from PLS (US $15 p/p + tip) drops you at the elegant, marble-floored entry to the resort, where you'll be served a delicious cucumber-melon cooler and be handed cool towels while you're being checked in. You're then given a tour of the property and shown to your room. Major amenities are plentiful beach space with loungers and umbrellas, and a sprawling, heated pool with hot tub and swim-up bar. Nearby is the Palms' spa (fitness center is free; other service are at an extra charge) The rooms - pretty much no matter which you end up with - are beautiful, spacious, with one of the most comfortable beds I've had the pleasure of sleeping in. There is a set of 5-story buildings, most split in half with a small elevator and 5-7 rooms per floor. Starting your day, a breakfast buffet is served daily from 7:30 - 10:30 daily, and it's delicious - with a variety of hot and continental breakfast served in the outdoor Garden restaurant. You'll pay a small tip here to the server. Come with your sunscreen already applied and in your swimsuit and you can head directly to the pool or beach afterwards. Unlike other resorts, there's plenty of space at both. Not once do you feel like getting a spot at the beach is like getting Taylor Swift tickets ("sorry, all gone for the day"!) The usual services are provided at both the pool and beach: you can order drinks or food brought to you, and attendants will set you up with chairs, towels, and umbrellas as needed. The water is what Turks is known for: turqoise, comfortable swim temperature year-round. The pool is similar and features the swim-up Plunge bar (with nice little secluded seating and tables nearby!) plus a hot tub. The SiSi Bar offers typical resort drinks and a food menu all afternoon (until about 5); buffet lunches ($35 p/p) on some days. After it closes, it reopens at 6 as SiSi, a mexican "flavored" outdoor restaurant nestled between the pool and the beach. The other restaurant is Parallels, which sits between the front garden area and the Garden restaurant; it has its own bar ("Latitude") that gets a fair amount of use. This is a place where you feel like you'll be taken care of with the same standards as you arrived, and indeed, that's the case. The concierge can arrange reservations and transportation and give advice on local things to do, but this is a place where you can pick out a comfortable spot and just crash until you feel like a swim or something to eat or drink. And while the place itself is of course pricey, you never feel nickeled-and-dimed: bottled water and towels are freely available at no charge. After dinner, relax poolside by the fire pit for a bit and enjoy the night sky and scenery and then return to your room to discover the glory that is the Palms' turndown service. Your room will be reset - fresh towels, your covers turned down, slippers and a mat at your bedside, the world's fluffiest, cleanest robes, a chocolate and fresh water bottle at your beside and a charming little card each night with a story about the island to wish you pleasant dreams. We'll be back, for sure.

First trip to Turks and it was amazing! The resort is beautiful and well kept. It gives you a homey feeling because of the landscape and also the very friendly and welcoming nature of the entire staff. A special thank you to Jane, who always greeted us with a smile and an infectious laugh. Wish I could name everyone but I have a bad memory but thank you Sherrie, Paula, Merle and every single staff member that made our trip unforgettable.
