Here, my full review of The Strand on Turks and Caicos.
The unique thing about our resort is that all the rooms are ocean front.

Second floor suites feature ocean-front balconies, and some include rooftop terraces complete with outdoor kitchens.
Ground-floor bedrooms have sliding doors onto each suites outdoor terrace.
I also toured the Strands five-bedroom residences, which are private homes available for travelers to rent.

All of the hotels light-colored finishes and shade-providing wooden pergolas act together to keep things cool.
The property is working in partnership with Colorado-basedButterfly Pavillionto protect the habitat for pollinators.
But the shopping and dining opportunities of the Grace Bay strip are a 15-minute drive from the resort.

That said, renting a car was easy on Providenciales.
