The hype
Guests are obsessed with the pool and the beach location, often calling it the most relaxing spot on Provo.
The Palms Turks And Caicos
$750-1400/ nuit
Réservez si You want the Grace Bay beach perfection of a mega-resort but crave the quiet, manicured privacy of a European estate.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The serpentine infinity pool is arguably the best on the island—heated, uncrowded, and lined with cushioned sun pods
- Located on the widest, most pristine stretch of Grace Bay Beach (no rocky patches)
- The spa is a destination in itself, with its own water features and standalone treatment cottages
En bref : It's 'faded Caribbean chic'—luxurious and grand, but don't expect the hyper-modern snap of a brand-new W or Ritz.
Évalué par @AlainaCash7375511: I felt like I walked into a movie set the moment I arrived. The Palms has this incredible old-world elegance, but the real magic is how close you are to that stunning turquoise water. It’s quiet, romantic, and the service was flawless. My new favorite spot in TCI.

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir

- Non-motorized water sports (hobie cats, paddleboards) are free and right on the beach.
Quoi emporter
- Insulated tumbler—ice melts instantly in the Provo sun
- Reef-safe sunscreen—Provo is strict about protecting the coral
- Bug spray—mosquitoes can be vicious at dusk, especially near the gardens

“I am booking a stay and kindly request a unit on an upper floor to ensure privacy from foot traffic. Crucially, if possible, please assign a dedicated suite rather than a lock-off unit to minimize noise transfer from connecting rooms.”
FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is there a resort fee?
No explicit 'resort fee', but you will pay a mandatory 10% service charge and 12% government tax on top of the room rate.
Is the beach crowded?
Rarely. The Palms sits on a wide stretch of Grace Bay, so loungers are spaced far apart and you never have to fight for a spot.
Is it adults-only?
No, but it feels like it. There is a kids' club ('Conch Kritters'), but the vibe is overwhelmingly quiet and adult-centric.
How is the wifi?
Solid. fast enough for Zoom calls from the balcony, though it can get spotty on the far edges of the beach.
Do I need a car?
Not strictly. You can walk/bike to shops and take taxis to dinner, but a car is recommended if you want to explore Chalk Sound or distant beaches.
Can I bring my dog?
No. The Palms has a strict no-pet policy.
