First and foremost, the owners of this property Richard and Yohamna are absolutely LOVELY and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was seamless and top notch. Where do I begin....
Richard was there waiting for us at the airport! No need to rent a vehicle or airport shuttle to get to the Villas, he is there to drive you there! On the way to the Villas, a tour of the island is in store. You can get familiar with the local restaurants, grocery stores and island secrets. Once you get to the Villa, your e-car is waiting for you! So they have taken care of all aspects of transportation for you! TOP NOTCH!
I would just like to include a section about the Local Hospital, as we all need to have a peace of mind when travelling, that the surrounding facilities are safe and clean in case we need them. My son had an emergency visit to the Grand Turk Hospital, the first day we were there. We had a great experience there. The staff was incredibly nice from registration to the nurses, Doctors and Diagnostic Imaging staff we saw. They were incredibly thorough and CLEAN. The cleaning staff was on top of everything. During our stay the Doctor we saw was very attentive to our son, and in fact knew Yohamna well, as she also is a Physician there, and reassured me if there were any ongoing issues, to please text him (where does this happen but the beautiful Island of Grand Turk!) and we would have him seen again. As a healthcare worker, I felt at ease with all of this, and would definitely think this facility is clean and the care was great! Thank you to the staff that took care of my little guy and to Yohamna for coming to check in at the hospital while we were there:)
The VIILA: WOW this place is pure luxury. I would rate this above a 5 star!
The Villa is amazing. This particular Villa is on the second floor, with a PERFECT view. Enjoying our coffee every morning from this balcony was like a dream. In fact we saw humpback whales from a distance (and a nice view with the binoculars that the owners provided in each villa).
The Villa has every amenity you could think of...
There are 2 master suites, with huge bathrooms.These bathrooms come with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and endless comfy towels! Not to mention the complimentary makeup wipes, and the makeup mirror to use. The linens are sooo comfortable, and the beds are huge! There are laundry baskets, a steamer, delicate racks and a large TV in each room. Each room has it's own temperature control as well. Everything you could want in a bedroom is there!
The Kitchen is fully equipped. It comes with a Ninja blender, coffee maker, utensils, plates, Tupperware, water filtration system, the list goes on and on! I don't think there was anything that wasn't there!
The Villa has a washer and dryer, and they provide the detergent and softener. They will take care of washing your towels outside of your villa, so all that you have to wash is your belongings. This was an AMAZING feature! This cut down on what we had to pack. And we only came with carry ons:) Brilliant!
There was WIFI in the Villa and a land line with calls to US and Canada. This was a great feature when we needed to call home or call locally.
These Villas also come with everything you need outside and beachfront. Im sure I am going to miss some things but here are a few...
Endless water shoes for the ocean in every size
A BBQ Grill and table to enjoy your meals outdoors
Umbrellas for the beach
Tommy Bahama Beach chairs and loungers
Snorkel equipment
Paddle boards
And the E-Car has a little locked basket in case you want to venture out on the Island (which we used a lot to pack our stuff in).
Grocery bags for the store
Ice packs and beach bags for your adventures
4 Yeti style cups for our travels and our beverages:)
HONESTLY they have thought of it all!!!!
The BEACH...oh the BEACH.....
This was like no other. The clarity, the beauty of it. They definitely have a gem. We felt like it was our beach. There were not a lot of people in sight to be honest. Pretty SECLUDED. We would walk down the beach and find live conch shells in the water. My kids LOVED this. Im hoping that I can upload photos in this post;) We also went to Governors Beach... WOW. That was also stunning and a MUST. We were all in awe of it all. There are sweet Donkeys on the island. They are everywhere! And such a neat experience for our kids to see. We had a real sweet interaction with one. The whole beach/ island atmosphere was so calm, welcoming, safe and exactly what we were looking for .
RESTUARANTS
Richard was key in this process. He has a book in the kitchen with all listings of all amenities on the island, with hours and locations, including restaurants . The food was wonderful when we ate out, it was nice to get a taste of the Island. Richard also made reservations for us. Everyone on the Island knew him and he was very respected. So, when we arrived to a restaurant or anywhere he had helped us with, they knew we were guests of Love Villas, which was very nice.
We did go down the road and rented some inflatables for the kids to play on. This is a usual stop for some of the Cruise Ships for an excursion, but due to the Corona Virus preliminary closures, there were not any cruise ships allowed in port. So, Dale, the owner was super accommodating, and kind. She had staff come out and hook up the inflatables, a lifeguard, and the kids had hours of fun on them. She then arranged our trip to Gibbs Key to visit the sting rays. WOW...if you ever have a chance to do this, this is a MUST. We will never experience anything quite like that again, I'm sure. We were in the water with these beautiful tame creatures, and they didn't disappoint. A big shout out to Justin with Oasis Diving for the amazing trip to Gibbs Key. He was incredible. On our way back our gang got to jump off the boat for a bit of snorkelling which was amazing, and we were greeted by 6 beautiful dolphins! EVERYONE was in awe!!! Justin had his camera and did complimentary shots of everyone on the island and the snorkel. This adventure is a MUST! Thank you Dale and Justin!
Richard was ALWAYS attentive and there for anything we needed. He often helped us with reservations at restaurants, going above and beyond getting drink mixers for us, you name it he was always happy to help. The E-Car is also an incredible touch. We were all over the island having a blast. And we wouldn't have been able to do this without those cars. Richard and Yohamna have thought of EVERYTHING to make your vacation a luxury and so you don't even have to lift a hand or think about anything but enjoying your family and and relaxing.
All in all, this place was like a dream. It was honestly like an all-inclusive resort minus the food and drinks. And it was very easy and accessible to the stores and restaurants. Im not sure we will go anywhere else but here again.
Thank you Richard and Yohamna for welcoming us to your Villa and allowing us to make great memories with family and friends. We will forever be thankful!!!!!
WELL DONE (and we can't wait to book our next stay)!!!!
