Overall, it was a great trip! My only complaint was that the room was not ready until at least an hour after check in time. ... It was hot and we wanted to hit the beach/pool ASAP. They were nice about it, but I wish they has told us there was a restroom at the pool we could use to change. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't a big deal.

Grounds were impecibly maintained and the grounds keeper, pool and beach attendants were eager to greet you.... lots of "good ... mornings and are you enjoying yourself?" Room was well appointed and cleaned promptly. We would go for a short bike ride and return to a sparkiling clean room as if by magic. Bikes were availible for the short ride to towne center, this was a huge plus. Limited sundries at the front desk and the front desk staff was not pleasant. We didn't fell very "welcomed" when being received. The "excursions" lady was very knowledgable and greated us pleasantly. She directed us to several great activities. Food was great at the restauran, just $$$. But, on TCI EVERYTHING is very expensive. There is an IGA down the street, still crazy expensive.

Our goal was to get away and forget about the stress of our daily lives. We did just that! The hotel was beautiful, super ... clean and so relaxing. 3 minutes from my bed to the beach! Okay, if I have to say anything negative, it's that they need to invest in a few more bicycles. However, not having access to a bike every time I went out made me walk and gave me a different view of things. This is one of the best vacations I've ever had! I would highly recommend the Royal West Indies!

There's really not much to do in August in Turks and Caicos so a great place to just relax is the Royal West Indies ... Resort(RWIR). We went out to eat quite a bit and found the best meal to be at the Mango Reef which is at the RWIR. Clean pools and quiet location. Great snorkeling just up the beach, and right next to Club Med so water sports was readily available. Also RWIR doesn't have a spa, fitness center, or conference room so they don't charge you for one. Great price.

A case of water from the grocery store will run you about $12, but anywhere else it's $2-$3 a bottle. Also some snacks will save you the 10% island meals tax.

teacher Jul 24, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Our stay at the Royal West Indies was wonderful!! The location is amazing. We walked and rented a moped for the day and saw ... different resorts and their locations and loved ours the best. The hotel has snorkeling available, hobie boats, and bikes to take to the little store down the street (prices are very high on the island so be prepared- you kind of decide you don't need that stuff on vacation :)) The bikes are great for getting around since the little shopping area is about a 15 minute walk. We ate at the Mango Reef for dinner and lunch and the food is phenomenal. We also ate at Anacaona, Grill Rouge, Hemingways, Bay Bistro, Calico Jacks, Big Bamboo, Nikki Beach and Jim's Dive Bar. We got an ocean view room and stayed in residence 4 on the third floor, great view and you could see the Mango Reef below. We got a studio which had a kitchenette that included most everything except for a stove. Prices are high like i said, so using that for breakfast/lunch helps out a lot. Staff is amazing at the resort, very quick to help, and they are amazing every where else. You feel very welcome. A couple outdoor activities were the half day boat tour where you go to iguana island, snorkle three reefs and dive for conch and sand dollars. We also went horseback riding and were able to take the horses in the ocean. We went up to "The Hole" with the moped one day. Great little piece of "wow" in the middle of nowhere. Don't expect the signs on the roads ... we saw about two. But that adds to the whole experience. It was wonderful, if you want a relaxing low key vacation where you lay around on the beach and go to the pool and do that all day this is the place for you.

Some disappointment

Stacy in Atlanta Jul 23, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The grounds and pool area were beautiful. The resort looked clean and the staff were friendly for the most part. I was upset ... about the lack of hot showers. I spoke in person to someone at the front desk who assured me it would be taken care of. No one came. Nothing was done. My girlfriend and I took cool showers the whole time we were there. That is unacceptable for a resort that is several hundred dollars a night.

sabrina Jul 2, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

I really liked the resort. The staff was very friendly and everything was very clean - room, pool area, & beach. We got a 2 ... bedroom for our stay with a view overlooking the pool and it was great. The botanical garden was very pretty and well kept. It was very quiet and relaxing. It was great that we could take the hotel bicycles to get around. It worked out especially well that we could bike down to the grocery store and pick up food that was pretty inexpensive. The section of the beach was absolutely lovely...as all of Grace Bay Beach is. It was great when the pool & beach staff - took us out on the hobie catamaran and we got to snorkel over some reefs. The hotel was great & Mango Reef was very nice. The mango mojito was delicious. In general, I think dining on the island is very expensive. Be prepared to pay $15 PER A PERSON to get to the hotel if you take a taxi. Also, be prepared if you fly american airlines in. I guess it is very common for them to lose checked luggage...

Money savers tip

It's more worth while to rent a car than to take a taxi anywhere. Since there was 4 of us, we rented a car on the 2nd to last day and drove around the island and then dropped it off at the airport. We tried to venture out to sapodilla bay and taylor bay, but there wasn't much to see and no signs to point you in the right direction. There's no much else going on the island. If you plan to visit the conch farm; fyi, most of it has been destroyed by the last hurricanes that came through, so not much to exactly see. [...] and [...] are pretty cool though.

Lovely up-scale resort

Meleesue Jun 24, 2009

The Royal West Indies Resort is on a beautiful beach, with snorkeling nearby. In addition, there are multiple beautiful pools ... on site, a pool-side bar, and a really fabulous restaurant, Mango Reef. It's easily accessible from the airport, and casinos, shopping and more watersports are all very close by. The staff is very friendly and professional, and you don't want to miss Mango, the cat! He owns the place and will have you wrapped around his little finger (claw?) in no time.

This hotel is perfect if you are just looking to relax and lay on the beach, by either of the swimming pools, jacuzzi or ... taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon.

Money savers tip, Short Walk

All the rooms come with a kitchenette, the studios do not have a stove. To save money on eating, and because there are only a few restaurants near by, there is an IGA super market near by. You can take bicycles free of charge from the hotel for up to 2 hours. We got breakfast and lunch items for all of the 8 days we were there.

Dining tip, Short Walk

Fresh Bakery was phenomenal for breakfast/lunch and we enjoyed Danny Buoys for dinner.

--Robyn, Boston, MA Nov 24, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Walk

The Spa Sonay, just down the street was amazing. Prices were less than half of prices quoted in guide books and rec0ommended local spas. The massage was amazing and the price was more than reasonable.

--ILM to TCI, Wilmington NC Aug 26, 2009

Dining tip, Short Drive

Highly recommend Hose Eyed Jack's. Good food, excellent dining on the water, and great music.

--Island Hopper, Hays, Kansas Aug 21, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Take advantage of the good food, good drinks and wonderful staff at the Mango Reef Restaurant which is on the hotel property.

--Relaxed and Rejuvinated single mom!, Culver City, CA Aug 17, 2009

Money savers tip

A case of water from the grocery store will run you about $12, but anywhere else it's $2-$3 a bottle. Also some snacks will save you the 10% island meals tax.

--G-man, Littleton, MA Aug 16, 2009

Time savers tip

Rent a car and see the island like a native.

--Stacy in Atlanta, Atlanta metro area Jul 23, 2009

The resort restaurant- Mango Reef- was great!

--NC girl, Raleigh, NC Jul 20, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Monday thu Wednesday they have a special. Appetizer, entree and dessert for $42.00. The food is great. I think it is the one of the best restaurant on the island.

--Wes, Raleigh NC Jul 12, 2009

Money savers tip, Short Walk

Since the Royal West is based on a number of condo units, I would definitely advise going to the nearby supermarket to obtain breakfast and snack foods. Dinner can be pricey if you eat out each night.

--Craig, Northern Virginia Jul 11, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Walk

Ride resort bikes or wlak to nearby IGA when you get there to get snacks and drinks.

--Bettina, Pottstown,Pa Jul 10, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Walk

If you run out of sunscreen/aloe vera or just want another pair of sunglasses or a new swimsuit (basically non food stuffs) you can walk to the Club Med next door which has a pretty good little store with reasonable prices.

--Sarah, Dallas, TX Jul 7, 2009

Shopping tip, Short Walk

The hotel provides bikes that you can use - there is a Gourmet Grocery store nearby that just opened in March 2009 that is excellent.

--Clancy, Brooklyn, NY May 24, 2009

Entertainment tip, Long Walk

Walk down past the Sands ( we stopped and had lunch at Hemingway's on the way back), and just past "Beaches" to an area called Coral Gardens for fabulous snorkelling. We saw starfish, sea turtles, and a stingray, all for free! It took about an hour to walk down the beach, but it was beautiful and definitely worth it!

--Nancy, Somerset, NJ Mar 3, 2009

Dining tip, Short Walk

Venture outside the hotel for more dining options (Sharkbite was excellent!).

--Michelle, Stafford Oct 13, 2008

Recreation/Attractions tip

Must ride bikes to the Leeward part of the island, Definitely rent a car and tour the island on your own.
