Near the Cayman Islands, Haiti, the Bahamas and Puerto Rico is the small nation of Turks and Caicos. This country consists of a series of small and larger islands. Some thrive with wildlife but not people. On Little Water Cay, you will find only iguanas. On Pine Cay, there are only Cuban Pines. On Grand Turk, however, you will find ample evidence of life. Yet, hotels in Turks and Caicos provide life at a slower pace than many of the other Caribbean Islands. The island group is definitely not a party zone. You book a hotel in Turks and Caicos to escape the crowds, to relax, and to take part in the country’s offers of eco-tourism.
There are 33 areas set aside for protected status in the Turks and Caicos. These include Conch Bar Caves National Park on Middle Caicos. Here, underground caves feature long tunnels, pools of water and bats. At Flamingo Pond in North Caicos, you can see the ruins of Wades Green Plantation. If you visit Provenciales Island, you must go to Chalk Sound National Park and dip in the waters of Grace Bay Beach. Salt Cay Island is tiny but possesses a dazzling reef wall. While you are there, visit Balfour Town with old Fort Pleasant. With so many different islands and cays from which to choose, plan to stay more than overnight in a Turks and Caicos hotel. EasyToBook.com helps you arrange that longer stay.
