Cockburn Harbour Hotels from S$312

"Overall excellent but expensive. This resort has newly refurbished buildings and otherwise all new grounds and pools redone/built about one year ago. The rooms are very nice and everything is new at the resort. It is in a remote location, understated, and expensive. The mostly American guests seem like country club set affluent and understated. It is nice to be on South Caicos which away from the crowds and feels like old school Turks before it got built up. The turtles still feed near the beach and the diving has eagle rays that you won't see near Providenciales. The snorkling at Admiral Cockburn park in the aquarium is really top quality snorkling. Whales can be seen and there are whale watching trips. We took a small connecting flight from Providenciales and there was a lot of time waiting between flights but others said they took a two hour boat and it was nice so not sure what is best for getting there. The resort food and restaurant operations were great. They could use a US country club type general manager to be the face of the resort and to direct the non restaurant staff. They could also use a landscaper from Vero Beach Florida to fill the grounds with flowers. The landscaping was more desert like. I would go here if you want peace and a high class and subdued crowd and families. This isn't a late night party place or a place for people on a budget because a $1000 dinner is easy to do at Brine for example. "

"Nice beach and staff "
