Our visit to Grand Turk, especially our stay at Love Villas, very much exceeded our expectations. Prior to our trip, Richard connected us with local businesses & we were able to book some excursions. Richard & Yohamna were great right from the start as they provided r/t airport transportation. Before arriving at our villa, Richard gave us a complete tour of the island. He was very inviting, hospitable and more than willing to share his in-depth knowledge of the island & its people. He even drove us to 3 different liquor stores so we could find our favorite beer! Once at the villa, he spent time explaining everything we needed to know for our stay. Waiting for us were a fresh loaf of bread from a local café, wine, local beers, milk, eggs, fruit and Love Villas branded koozies - all complimentary! We stayed on the first floor, Turtle Villa. We would be remiss if we didn’t note that all 3 floors were occupied during our stay, but the excellent sound proofing of the building allowed us to not notice! During our stay, Richard provided quick responses to all our needs/requests. While roaming the island, friendly locals greeted us everywhere we went (restaurant owner Barbie, postal worker Idalia, and fisherman Kaki). We loved being able to walk to the local fish market just as Kaki was pulling up with his fresh catch & buy what we wanted (LOBSTER) to cook for dinner while looking at the mesmerizing ocean! And oh, the beaches & water! White sand beaches with unbelievably clear water in vibrant blues & greens! As for the villa itself, we cannot pay enough compliments to Richard & Yohamna for their superb job! Love Villas is jam packed with amenities & has all the conveniences of home. From the moment we stepped inside, we felt at home. The villa was immaculately clean with a relaxing vibe. Also, no need to pack anything but clothes & sunscreen as they’ve got you covered right down to snorkeling gear! Besides all these details, the best parts were: 1-We really were just nine steps from the beach & not much farther to the water which had excellent snorkeling. Plenty of colorful fish to see! 2-Where else can you go where a car is provided?! Only Love Villas on Grand Turk! (By the way, Richard’s best tip: STAY LEFT!) This truly felt like an all-inclusive resort, but better because of the privacy. We had the beaches to ourselves - our own private paradise! Our group continues to rave about Grand Turk and Love Villas & we can't wait to return!
