Hon. Sharlene Cartwright-Robinson Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands The story of Grace Bay Resorts’ growth is most certainly the tale of The Turks & Caicos Islands own coming of age. From the founding of Grace Bay Club 25 years ago, to the blossoming of West Bay Club and the Private Villa Collection in this latest decade Grace Bay Resorts has been a model for community involvement while developing employment opportunities that have helped the Turks & Caicos Islands and our people flourish. Further, by setting an ever-raising standard of luxury at its properties and showcasing the best of our nation’s people, culture and traditions, Grace Bay Resorts has led the way in establishing the Turks & Caicos Islands as the Caribbean’s premier luxury destination.

It’s been said that empathy is the key to the service industry - if this is the case, Grace Bay has managed to refine that key to perfection. The care and attention to detail, expertly demonstrated across all facets of the hotel, by every team member only serves to further prove this. Grace Bay is a true paradise. As I say each time I return from Grace Bay - I cannot wait to return.

Nikheel Advani COO & Principal, Grace Bay Resorts President of TCHTA Ask any guest who has made a trip to a Grace Bay Resorts property over the past 25 years what the most memorable part of their experience was, and about every time you’ll hear a story of our amazing team in action. Turks and Caicos has become world renowned for its brand of warm, genuine Caribbean service, and that spirit of hospitality was truly born from day one at Grace Bay Resorts. Our team sincerely cares about each and every one of our guests, and it shows in the countless amount of positive feedback we are so humbled to receive each day.

Thierry Grandsire EVP of Operations, Grace Bay Resorts | Managing Director, Grace Bay Club If one thing has remained constant at Grace Bay Club, West Bay Club and our Private Villa Collection since the founding of Grace Bay Resorts, it is our dedication to deliver personal care and attention to each guest as we strive to exceed their expectations in every way that we can. This process begins long before guests set foot in Turks & Caicos, with our reservations and pre-arrival teams, who prepare in advance to deliver an excellent stay. Upon arrival, our personal concierges, pool and beach team, servers, housekeepers and more happily fulfil our guests’ every wish, want and whim. We’re also blessed to have an incredible team working behind the scenes—in departments such as human resources, engineering and accounting—who support our front-of-house teams and the Grace Bay Resorts experience by delivering excellence in their respective fields.

Adelphine Pitter General Manager, West Bay Club Establishing in the Turks & Caicos Islands years before our “Beautiful by Nature” islands had been discovered by tourists from around the world, Grace Bay Resorts has been a pillar of the community since day one—not just on the resorts’ home island of Providenciales, but on its sister islands as well. This support shines most in our partnerships with schools throughout the islands, supporting the educational efforts and ambitions of our islands’ youth. Through the triumphs and prosperous years, as well as the rough patches and recent hurricane cleanup, I couldn’t be prouder to represent Grace Bay Resorts in their efforts to support the TCI.
