Getting To Know Providenciales Hotels

By Shawn Hunter


If you have never been to the island nation of Turks and Caicos, then you might really missing out on something special. With pristine beaches and lots of local flair, Providenciales, one of the largest areas on the islands, has tons to offer. If you are looking for a beach locale for your next trip, then consider looking into Providenciales hotels for your next big trip out of town.

First, it is important to know what kinds of properties are actually available. There are very basic hotels for the budget traveler that are not near the beach and have few if any amenities. Then there are luxury hotels on or very near the beach that generally feature shopping, bars, restaurants and other features for additional fees beyond the daily room rate. Then there are resorts, which are usually right on the beach and feature a full range of offerings to keep you entertained or relaxed for your entire trip.

Whether your chosen property is on the beach or not will impact how much you pay and what activities are available to you. If you stay a mile or so away from the waterfront, you can save money, but you also have less to do. Whereas a resort on the water will not only have each beach access, but may offer individual or group activities like snorkeling or surfing, which gives you a lot more options about what to do with your free time.

Whether you want to pay a la carte for your vacation experiences or wish to just get everything included will determine what type of resort you choose. There are resorts where you only pay up front for the room, but extras like restaurant dining or alcoholic beverages incur an extra cost. Then there is the all inclusive packages where everything is paid for in advance for one fee.

Before choosing a place, you must think of all the amenities you want, and find a hotel that includes all of them. For example, you may not care if there is a pool, as long as you have beach access. If you don't drink, then the availability of bars on the beach or a mini bar in your room may not matter.

Beyond the amenities, activities are another thing to take into consideration. If you like to shop, you may want to find a place that has on site shopping, or shuttles into town for local shopping. If you love the water, perhaps a resort with snorkeling or wakeboarding lessons would be your best bet. Look for a place with a wide variety of activities and you'll never be bored.

One final thing to think about before booking is who you are going with and why. If this is your honeymoon, you will want a place that is quiet and secluded for romance. Perhaps you are a business traveler who need high speed Internet access and a conference room for meetings.

And of course, families will want to check for family friendly activities before choosing a final place to book. No matter what your needs are, there is a property in Providenciales that is perfect for you.
