Grand Turk - General Information

From Turks and Caicos




The Turks and Caicos Islands are a British Overseas Territory comprising a small archipelago of eight major islands and numerous uninhabited keys 600 miles southeast of Miami. Most tourist facilities are located on Providenciales ("Provo") Island. The U.S. dollar is the unit of currency and the larger hotels and shops accept credit cards. The U.S. Embassy in Nassau, Bahamas has jurisdiction for consular matters in the Turks and Caicos.

Hi, do you have any idea how & how much to rent a cabana or a covered beach chair at the Grand Turk cruise center? It sounds like a perfect thing to do after my island bus tour.

Here is some information about the cabanas there that another CLF member, djgifford, posted on another thread. Unfortunately, it doesn't include the price. I'll see if I can fing that nexr.
I got some information from Carnival's site....

Relax in the shade and comfort of your own private poolside cabana at Grand Turk’s Cruise Center.

On this excursion you will:
  • Stroll a short distance from your ship to Grand Turk’s Cruise Center (adjacent to Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Restaurant and Bar).
  • Take in the beautiful view of the magnificent swimming pool and ocean, as you relax in comfort in your cabana, complete with an outdoor shower and private waiter service.
Note: The cabana can accommodate up to four guests. The cabana rental rate is per cabana. Only one guest need purchase the reservation for the group (maximum 4 guests). Cabanas are not air conditioned, but have ceiling fans and a window that can be opened to let in the breeze. Guests must be able to climb three steps to access cabanas.

Re: Grand Turk - looking for excursion

We just got back from Grand Turk about a month ago. We rented a cabana. It was located at the pool at the port. The beach was in close proximity. We had our own cabana boy who delivered us food and drink (at our cost). Margaritaville was right there, and the mango margaritas were excellent. The cabana had 2 lie down chairs on the porch in the shade, which you could move if you wanted to sunbathe. Inside, it had a table for four, places to hang your towells, ect. It was very beautifully decorated inside. It was nice to have the ocean and a chlorine pool just steps away. It also had a fresh water shower to rinse off in, just outside your porch. The people who had not rented a cabana were very jealous and wanted to know how to get one. You probably need to book early. There are only 8 cabanas for rent. The price was $100 for 4 people for the entire day. Well worth it!

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
