Dining in Turks and Caicos

[liamsaunt]

My husband and I decided to check out Turks and Caicos. We rented a house for a week starting today, but ended up flying in a day early because of a storm building up right in the flight path. We scrambled, switched our flight, and used points to book a night at the Ritz Carlton on Grace Bay for last night.

 

 

The view from our room 

 

 

The beach itself reminds me a little bit of Miami. There  are a lot of resorts right on the beach. 
 

 

It’s not really my scene, but we are staying in a house in a quieter area for the rest of the trip.  Here are a couple of view from the beach

 

 

 

We were really tired on arrival, so just went to the sushi restaurant at the resort for dinner. Menu

 

 

 

I had a mocktail made with earl grey tea and pineapple, and my husband had a spicy pineapple margarita

 

 

We shared an order of potstickers

 

 

The hamachi turadito and the gunkan. The hamachi was good but the lobster one was kind of bland. 
 

 

Then we shared the spicy tuna roll and the South Caicos conch roll. Conch fritters on sushi was a new one hahaha, but we had to try it. I think I would have preferred just getting some conch fritters. 

 

 

We are checking out of here in a bit, going grocery shopping and then heading to the house.  I  think I saw the road to the area where we are staying from the plane, and it basically looks like a sand path. Should be interesting! I am glad we rented a Jeep.

Enjoy!  I look forward to seeing your adventure here.  How is the weather there this time of year?  When I was a kid, my parents would take us during Presidents' Week to Miami (to visit the grandmothers) and then to an island in the Caribbean (to make up for Miami which was commonly 60 degrees and rainy until the day we left and then it was beautiful).  We usually tried to visit the more southerly islands (like Guadeloupe and South) since it was practically guaranteed nice weather, as opposed to the windward ones which could be as dicey as Miami.

 

Have a conch fritter for me!
