Pine Cay, Turks and Caicos

We had been looking for a quiet but luxurious place to get away together and we were so happy to find Pine Cay. We loved the peace within the resort and on the island and didn't miss TV or music. The room was beautiful - truly a beach chic vibe. The beach was always in view from the room - even in the bathroom and shower! (and the shower was amazing too). We could just walk out to the beach and never even needed shoes. The beach was quiet and you rarely saw anyone else. We loved our morning walks to the sandbar to hunt for shells and sand dollars. It was so relaxing to just search the ocean for a special shell. The service at the resort was 5 star from every employee we interacted with throughout our stay. Everyone was always so friendly and approachable. The food and drinks were 5 star and as gourmet as we've ever seen at a hotel. By far it was the best 3 meals/daily we've ever had, day after day after day. Pictures just can't show truly how beautiful the island is. Every moment looked like a postcard! We're already dreaming of coming back!

My wife and I tried this exclusive resort for our wedding anniversary, and this was, without a doubt, the best vacation we have ever had in our lives. We loved every minute of our 7 day staff. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed as a VIP. The rooms are perfect with a view of the ocean from your bedroom. The fact that you have your own tiki hut and beach chairs means that there is NO STRESS at all during the vacation. I can honestly say that this place is worth every penny. The snorkling was amazing (I had a chance to see a nurse shark!), the room was perfect, the food is to die for (breakfast, lunch and supper...and great drinks), the attentiveness of the staff is out of this world, and the beach and water are spectacular. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet time, breaking away from loud, party-like resorts, this place is for you. Health and wellness vacation!!!!! We are planning on returning next year, as this place has ruined me for any other holiday, and can't imagine spending my free time anywhere else.

Every moment was perfect, from arrival to departure. It’s immediately easy to escape reality and embrace island life. The staff, amenities, food and drinks are exquisite. Hemant’s skills as a yoga instructor are the best I’ve found at a resort!

What a dream! This was absolutely the best place I have ever stayed in! What a lovely hotel run by lovely people. The location is ideal, so many great activities to do, the food is high quality and excellent! My friends and I loved the staff, they were super friendly and always felt welcoming. I would without a doubt recommend this place and I truly cannot wait to come back. Thank you again to all the staff!

This 13 room hotel is on a beach that is spectacularly beautiful. The turquoise blue water and white sand beach is the picture of perfection. Because the hotel only has 26 guests, maximum (although they are adding 2 more cottages which will be available by the end of the year), you are unlikely to see anyone at all as you take long walks along the 2 mile beach. The Tiki huts scattered along the beach are set back, often behind dunes. The only lounge chairs set up with a direct view of the water are near the beach bar and are in direct sun. The hotel does not provide or allow umbrellas except for the wonderful tiki huts which are permanently positioned a few yards in front of each room. This piece of paradise is not for everyone as it is extremely quiet, and if you do not like reading books on the beach all day, you may be at a loss. There are no floats, paddle boards etc. available to use in the water. However they do have 3 Hobie catamarans that are available. There are kayaks on the other side of the island but you need a golf cart to get there, and we did not find the spot particularly inviting. There is no sightseeing and the rest of the island is rather scruffy and rustic in appearance. The food is good and beautifully presented. Our only complaint is that breakfast service was really slow, taking 10 minutes to get coffee brought to the table and another 15 to 20 minutes to get our order of eggs etc. However, after a few days, we got used to the pacing. The rooms are simple--we stayed in both a cottage and a regular room. The cottage bathroom and screened- in porch are larger than those in the regular rooms but the bedrooms seemed to be the same size in both room types.The room decor is not fancy but fits the beach setting perfectly. Twice a day Housekeeping was wonderful and towels and linens are of the highest quality. The entire staff was gracious and friendly, contributing to the lovely atmosphere and very friendly vibe of this special dot on the map. We look forward to returning!

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Pine Cay, and the experience not only met our high expectations but exceeded them. Everything about the stay was amazing. First, the location is truly paradise and we spent most of the week on the beach and in the water, feeling like we had the entire beach to ourselves. Second, the food put together by Pablo and his team was outstanding in both quality and variety. Lastly we can't say enough about the staff and the incredible service they provided.
