The Turks and Caicos Islands are a great place to visit because of their beautiful beaches and Caribbean culture.
Many people think that it is too expensive to go to the Caribbean. The opposite can also be true. If you're a penny-pincher and still want to explore Turks and Caicos this year, there are some ways to save money.
VERTISING
Taking a budget airline is the first tip. Frontier Airlines is starting nonstop flights from the Magic City to Providenciales, Turks and Caicos for just $59 one way. Midwesterners will be able to reach Providenciales without having to stop at any of the usual stops if Sun Country Airlines launches a nonstop flight from Minneapolis to the island.
Accommodations are often the main factors in budgeting for travel to the Turks and Caicos. You can find a variety of accommodations, styles and budgets throughout the islands, but a mid-range all-inclusive might be your best bet, since they include both your dining and drinks as well as additional activities, like snorkeling, which can add up if you choose to purchase excursions individually.
Club Med Turkoise has rates starting at $159. One of the region's best diving spots is located at the Grace Bay all-inclusive.
The Pelican Beach Hotel is a family-owned boutique hotel that offers beachfront accommodations, a spa, and the Barracuda Beach Bar, a favorite among locals and travelers. Rooms start at $176 a night.
The Osprey Beach Hotel has rates starting at $200 a night. The historic island of Grand Turk has been awarded for its excellence several times.
The Ports of Call Resort has many of the amenities you would find at a larger and more expensive resort, like free beach umbrellas and chairs. Guests can choose from studio rooms to private villas at a starting rate of $219 a night, which is close to all the attractions in Grace Bay.
A budget-saving tip for the rest of the vacation planning is to research thoroughly. It is important to research and compare multiple excursions, tour operators, resorts, hotels and flights for the best deals, if money is the most important consideration.
Turks and Caicos requires all visitors to be 16 years of age or older to be fully vaccine free. They need to apply for and receive authorization to enter the country through the portal. Travelers must take a test before entering the islands.
