Sailrock South Caicos

My adult daughter and I just spent 5 wonderful nights at Sailrock South Caicos, and we would like to thank the team for an amazing experience. First, some lessons learned. We highly recommend taking the direct flight from Miami to XSC, as the immigration line took all of 10 minutes! You can easily travel with a carryon bag, as you only need swimwear, flip flops/sandals without heels, coverups, and shorts/tops/sundress for all meals and activities. They provide L’Occitane bath products, wash cloths, loofas, dental kits etc. They also provide “Off” in the room for the mosquitos and no-see-ums, and we strongly advise using this if you’ll be out early in the morning or later in the evening. Bring sunscreen and a hat for the beach/pool, as the sun is intense. The television and WiFi worked great - we had an oceanview ridge room and had a balcony that wrapped the entire room. The ocean breeze on the balcony was perfect after a long day at the beach. We also thought that the food and beverages were well done, and appreciated the daily change in the dinner menu. Everything was very fresh and made to order. That said, I could eat the calamari and crunchy chicken wrap with fries for lunch every single day! Best calamari I’ve eaten anywhere. Lobster season started August 1st, and the grilled lobster was outstanding! We did the mixology class with Mario - super fun. He was engaging and entertaining and my daughter enjoyed every drink he made. 1 with the “devil’s fire” was incredibly strong, which ended in a lot of laughs for us and the team! We also did a bonefishing lesson with Mr. G - also super fun and instructive. Saw several sharks, jellyfish (not poisonous or stinging), starfish, mullets, barracudas, turtles. One morning on the ocean side, from our balcony we saw whales breaching. We didn’t visit the beach on the Oceanside, as the sargassum was really bad - nothing they can do about that. The sea side beach is very shallow for what looks like miles out. We paddle boarded and could actually stand up if we wanted. We also had really good spa treatments in open air spa bungalows (expensive, but good services). Now for the team - Mr. Frances who picked us up/dropped us at the South Caicos airport, Mervin Joseph who checked us in and showed us to our room, Katherine at The Cove, Korril, Ruperto, Alden, Kevin, Mario, the others in the restaurant, and the buggy drivers - they all were AMAZING. Kind. Efficient. Paid attention to our preferences. And just flat out friendly. Additionally, General Manager Mr. Andre Boersma greeted every guest at dinner and checked on us several times. He also had chicken masala added to the dinner menu after speaking with my daughter - she said it’s the best she’s ever eaten. The chefs were simply GREAT. We enjoyed everything we ate, and the portion sizes were huge. Oh! And nightly turndown service came with a small box of cookies, brownies, banana bread, etc - sooo good!! This is a place to chill. I mean CHILL. There were some

My wife and I just returned from Sailrock Resort and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We were seeking a quiet upscale getaway for our anniversary and Sailrock delivered. We booked a Ridge-top Ocean View Premier Suite. Summer is low season and we seized on a resort offer that provided a discount on room rates, daily breakfast, $300 resort credit and inter island round trip flights from Provo to South Caicos. My wife and I thought this was a great value. Our suite was spacious, clean and comfortable. The suite west facing provided beautiful sunset views. Each of the suites are housed in two story buildings. These buildings are north and south of the Great House. Some suites are Atlantic facing some Bell Sound facing. There are several private homes with their own pools. These accommodations are facing the Atlantic and are steps away from its shore. Check out the resort’s website for room details. The food was very good. Breakfast was consistently great, lunch and dinner was also very good with the exception of one or two dishes. My wife and I were a little disappointed that additional seafood dishes weren’t available given the location. Overall we were very happy with our meals. Meals alternated daily between the Great House and The Cove. In high season we were told meals are served at both dining areas each day. The Cove is beachside overlooking Bell Sound. It’s very laid back and is open air dining. The Great House dining area sits ridge top and is also west facing. This dining area is open air it overlooks the infinity pool and Bell Sound with nice sunset views. There is a wellness menu, that accompanied the regular menu. A daily special was also available at breakfast and diner. The staff is what truly makes Sailrock a special place. We felt a connection with some of the staff. They truly make every effort to make you comfortable and pampered. A shoutout to Karyle and Gerris who served our breakfast and dinner each day, Kathy at The Cove for lunch service, Angus and Mario who served us cool libations, a special thanks to Jerom who not only took care of us each day at the beach he gave us sailing lessons and served us excellent rum punches and MiTai’s. Paul the food and beverage director and Putra guest experience director always check on us, thank you both! Looking forward to our return! Thank you Sailrock team.

Unhurried. Unspoiled. Unworried. Perfection. Since returning from Sailrock Resort a week ago, I have shared with everyone who has asked us about our trip that it was the best vacation we've ever taken. Because it was just that. A true vacation. Where we didn't worry about a thing. Where we were loved on and cared for by the exceptional staff. Where we truly lost track of time. Do not come to South Caicos or Sailrock if you are looking for action-packed, are looking for a daily itinerary of activities, or thrive on adventure. Do come to Sailrock if you want to experience some of the most spectacular sunsets, silkiest sand, sparkliest turquoise waters and to feel spoiled and seen by the staff. We took the new Miami flight which was easy peasy and spent 8 nights at Sailrock to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. From the moment we stepped off the flight and were greeted by Kiki, we felt our worries melt away and welcomed to the island and to the resort. My bag did not arrive (never made it onto the flight at our destination) and my first call to American to sort it out ended in tears (mine). Ashley on the staff said "do not worry - we've got it from here." My bag was delivered the next day with minimal involvement and was able to purchase some necessities in the small gift shop to manage overnight. We stayed in a spacious and immaculately clean Ridgetop Suite (Suite 9A) that was decorated for our arrival to celebrate our anniversary. We were also welcomed with a blue ocean welcome drink at check-in and a complimentary fruit plate in our room. Andre even threw in an extra full-size blue ocean to help offset the anxiety about not having my bag. The bed was comfortable, the views from the suite were lovely and had plenty of room to stretch out and relax on the patio sofa, in the seating area in the suite or in one of two outdoor soaking tubs (one in our own private courtyard area). The primary way to communicate with the staff was through Whatsapp. We used the app to communicate about the missing bag, to request ice or extra towels to be delivered to the room, to inquire about dinner or to request a buggy to take us to the another part of the property. The property is fairly spread out with the main beach at the Cove (with beach chairs, towel service and umbrellas) and the staff happily transports you from place to place because as they repeatedly reminded us "We're on vacation" and they are there to take care of us. Ricky or Junior greeted us every morning at the beach to set up our chairs and get us settled for the day. They also made sure that the Hobie cat, kayaks and paddleboards were set up and would help you get the watercraft in and out of the water (and show you how to use them) throughout the day. This feels like the right moment in this review to shout out the exceptional staff members. Every. Single. One. of the staff is devoted to providing a relaxed and caring environment for guests. From the moment, we walked in, they kne
