What's the Big Deal? Special Offers at the Parrot Cay

If I had a pet parrot, I would name it Cay. It would awkwardly repeat the poorly delivered Journey songs that I inevitably begin singing when left alone for too long, and my friends would gradually begin to shy away from me, shocked by my love for cliched pop rock. Fortunately, my house is a strictly enforced no-fly zone, so my friendships are safe for now. Which means I'm free to invite a few of the aforementioned brothers and sisters in crime to a summer retreat at the one and only Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos. And since my friends are notorious pinchers of the proverbial penny, I was extra happy to learn that towards the end of the summer, Parrot Cay is offering a 4 nights for 3 deal on all of its room types. For those of us whose math skills have long since fractured under the weight of accumulated sports trivia, that's a 25% discount off the total price of a 4-night stay and is a great way to get an affordable price on one of their spectacular beach villas. Look in any of the summer months for this great deal.

West Bay Club Turks & Caicos Offers Springtime Deals

While the West Bay Club sounds like the name of a clandestine group of freemasons plotting to take over the world, in actuality it's one of the very finest hotels on a set of islands already famous for its world class luxury accommodations.  And now from April 15 until June 2, the West Bay Club is offering 10% off its top-of-the-line rooms and suites.  Not only that, stay for five nights, and every fifth night will be free.  That's another 20% savings and is a deal that's well worth an exclamation point!  

"But why stay at the West Bay Club?" you might be asking.  You always do ask the incisive questions.  Well, it's located at the west end of the most famed beach in the Turks and Caicos, Grace Bay, and if you know Grace Bay, you'll know that the western end is more tranquil than its eastern counterpart.  If you want the tropical serenity of a secluded resort on the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean, the West Bay Club is the place for you.  And that's a hypothetical preference that I think you, as an insightful questioner, probably share.  

And the rooms.  Oh, the rooms.  They've struck me speechless, and now I find myself quite at a loss for words, which is somewhat awkward, since there's another entire paragraph to write.  What's that? I'm still writing, you say? Well, that suggests I possess all the self awareness and quietude of my middle school years. But those suites.  Wow.  Their oceanfront suites feature full kitchens, waterfront balconies, and spacious living areas, and that's not even to mention the larger two and three bedroom suites that are perfect for the whole family or one person with multiple personalities. There's never been a better time to stay at the West Bay Club in Turks & Caicos.

Action Alert: Only a Few Suites Left in the Turks and Caicos Post-Christmas

The Turks and Caicos is one of our most popular destinations for Christmas break, and for good reason.  The sunny beaches and azure waters are the perfect scene for a tropical getaway.  Many of the hotels are sold out already, so I thought it would be a good time to let our loyal customers know that there's still some availability if you're looking for at least a full week stay the week after Christmas.  Both the Regent Grand Turks and Caicos and the Villa Renaissance still have suites available, so snap them up while you still can.
