Turtle Cove Inn. Now we re moving on to the less expensive opportunities. This is a two-story hotel built around a large, freshwater swimming pool. It s rather a simple affair, but clean and inviting. camping texas The rooms are comfortably furnished and provide views over either the pool or the marina, which is just a few yards away. All rooms are air-conditioned, and the bathrooms, though adequate, are a little on the small side. Poolside, you ll find the Tiki Hut Cabana and Grill. The other on-site restaurant is the Terrace, but it s open only for dinner; reservations are recommended. No beach, I m afraid, but a shuttle runs throughout the day between the hotel and the beach. Inexpensive and recommended. Turtle camping texas Cove Marina, Suzie Turn Rd., Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, BWI, 800-887-0477; www.provo.net/turtlecoveinn. EP $142.
