Back to School: The Cue to Plan Your Caribbean Vacation

Soon the lazy days of summer will be behind us. A distant memory of sunny days, picnics at the park, camping by the lake and the memorable sounds of the local ice cream truck circling the neighbourhood.

For those of us living in colder climates prone to brisk, wintery conditions, the end of summer is a cue to plan our next winter escape. The office water cooler chat will soon no longer revolve around past summer activities, rather everyone will be buzzing about their next vacation destination.

Do you want to make your coworkers jealous of your upcoming vacation plans? Of course, you do! Book a trip to the Caribbean! Five-star amenities, endless culinary choices and gorgeous tropical settings are just a few of the reasons for why the Caribbean is a top vacation choice for North Americans and Europeans.

If you want the best of the best, the islands of Turks and Caicos are renowned as one of the top Caribbean vacation destinations. Imagine walking on ivory white, powder-soft sand and swimming in crystal clear turquoise waters.

And the food? You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced Turks and Caicos – world renowned for its culinary variety. One of the favourite restaurants among locals and tourists is Hemingway’s, the beachfront eatery located at the Sands at Grace Bay. The restaurant overlooks the beautiful Grace Bay Beach and is a gorgeous setting to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You will be encouraged to try the “catch of the day,” flavoured with local Caribbean spices. Go for it because you won’t be disappointed. Or try a dinner favorite; fresh grouper, lightly spiced and pan seared, served with a tequila sauce and veggie salsa. Craving pasta instead? The penne with lightly sautéed shrimp and delicious garlic cream sauce will satisfy your hunger. If you have a gourmet palate, Hemingway’s recommends the filet mignon seared with red wine and mushrooms.

The Sands at Grace Bay is a delightful place to stay during your vacation. Situated on one of the best beaches in world, a lush, tropical setting surrounds it. The resort consists of 114 beautifully appointed and spacious suites.

As a guest of Sands at Grace Bay, you can spend your time along the gorgeous beach or enjoy swimming in one of their many swimming pools. If you desire more adventure the hotel concierge will arrange water sports, diving, golfing, or day cruises to the surrounding islands. Or go exploring the neighbourhood. There are plenty of restaurants, boutiques, and historical attractions close by.
