Ocean Club Resorts: background
Ocean Club Resorts are two all-suite properties-- Ocean Club and Ocean Club West-- on Grace Bay Beach, one mile apart, on the island of Providenciales. Stay at one resort, play at both; a complimentary shuttle runs ever half hour; or simply stroll along the beach. Accommodations in low-rise buildings range from studios to 3-bedroom apartments.
The Turks and Caicos island chain is a former British colony, halfway between Florida and Puerto Rico. Non-stop flights are available from major gateways; flying time from Miami is 80 minutes. The island is known for beautiful stretches of white sand beach by crystalline sea: Grace Bay has 12 miles of powdery white sand.
