Review by Josh Timons
If you had to choose one spot on earth that naturally boasts the quintessential cyan blue, you’d have to be on the beach at Seven Stars Resort in Turks and Caicos. Never have I seen a more perfect hue of the dynamic, turquoise-colored water kissed by the soft, white sand beaches for miles. It gave me pause to think I had the opportunity to walk this path every day for the next week, the exact recharge I had needed.
Our hotel guide was clever to take us to the beach as the first part of our tour, leaving us with that memory in front of mind. As she took us to the room, we saw the luxurious property from the fifth level, and we were astounded at the perfectly placed deck chairs, various staff tending to guests and quiet hum of festive music playing from the deck bar overlooking the beach. We could not wait to take it all in!
Our room was as luxurious as the rest of the resort: well-appointed; clean; spacious; andmodern. I loved having the kitchen to make my morning coffee in the room, laundry to wash swimsuits each night, and the huge patio to sit out and take calls in the shade in the afternoon while watching the waves roll in and out.
We ate at all the restaurants on-site and had great food throughout. I recommend the Greek salad and curried chicken sandwich poolside, the lobster bisque from The Farm, and the grouper at Seven. Many other great restaurants were within walking distance, and we felt safe doing so. A great grocery store is located just across the street.
We went out on a clear-bottom kayak excursion one morning, and it was magical. Getting so close to the sea turtles to hear them take a breath for air was unmatched. The people of this island are treasures, and Seven Stars has given us the opportunity to be pampered by them and discover this magical paradise while doing so. Thank you!
