air-conditioned, with a small bathroom, ceiling fan, bed, and a few more pieces of furniture. Not a luxury retreat, but it s clean and fairly comfortable. There are also a couple of villas, each with four guest units; none of these is air-conditioned. Bicycles are available, along with sea kayaks and snorkeling gear. The resort is also the island s dive operator. West St., Cockburn Harbour, South Caicos, Turks and Caicos, BWI, 649-946-3444. Meals-included, from $100.
Maybe you ll meet the taxi driver whose small, three-bedroom home shelters not only him and his wife, but five grown-up children and six of his grandchildren as well. Far from being harassed by the situation, he ll tell you how happy he is that they are all around for him to enjoy.
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. 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 Cove Marina, Suzie Turn Rd., Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, BWI, 800-887-0477; north shore campground www.provo.net/turtlecoveinn. EP $142.
