From the hammock swaying on the porch to the complimentary continental Breakfast served each morning to your private suite - the Grand Turk Inn welcomes you to relax.
Originally built 150 years ago as the Methodist Manse this spacious, historic, oceanfront home, on Front Street, typifies the character of the stately British West Indies architectural style.
Converted in 2005 to the Grand Turk Inn, the five large, elegant, sunfilled suites all overlook the turquoise ocean waters of the Columbus Landfall National Park/Atlantic Ocean and a pristine white sandy beach.
The Turks and Caicos Government Tourist Bureau has issued their Accommodation Ratings for 2006. The Grand Turk Inn was awarded 4 Stars and also the distinction of being the Best Guesthouse in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Frommer's 2007 Turks and Caicos Guide -
Under the heading of "Frommer's Favorite Luxury Resorts" the Grand Turk Inn is listed -
"The big, comfortable suites are laid-back luxury personified. The Innkeepers, sisters who've lived all over the world, are hospitality pros, and their loving restoration of the 150 year-old Methodist Manse has created Grand Turk's best accommodation".
The five air conditioned suites are designed for your comfort and relaxation. All feature full kitchens, Cable TV/DVD's, wireless computer access, personal in-room safes, hairdryers, bathrobes, designer linens, ceiling fans and daily housekeeping.
A wrought iron staircase leads up to the large sundeck with expansive ocean-coastline views. January through March the sundeck offers the perfect spot to Whale watch. Had enough sun? Retreat downstairs to the shady outdoor "Breezeway" and listen to the sound of the water cascading down the five foot fountain while relaxing in the cushioned rattan seating, or gently rock in the huge carved antique Indian swing and watch the sunset (and perhaps the elusive "green flash").
Additional amenities include free bicycles.
