Earth Times: Earth Times

Point Grace, an all-suite luxury resort on the hideaway island of Providenciales within the Turks and Caicos archipelago, celebrates its fifth consecutive Caribbean’s Leading Boutique Hotel designation from the esteemed World Travel Awards by setting its unrivaled hospitality standards even higher, starting this winter with the complimentary PG Care Package.

“We are once again honored and proud to accept this prestigious award and will continue to improve our service and standards,” said Valerie Hudson, managing director of Point Grace. The PG Care Package makes good on this promise by providing guests staying a minimum of five nights at Point Grace, now through January 31, 2010, with a complimentary bottle of champagne to uncork upon arrival, one three-course dinner-for-two at the critically-acclaimed Grace’s Cottage fine-dining gastronomic restaurant (beverages not included), and two 30-minute massages at the full-service Thalasso Spa.

The exclusive PG Care Package is combinable with any of Point Grace’s current special offers, such as the “Pay 5 Get 7.” Discounted by nearly 30%, this can’t-miss deal adds two free nights to a five-night stay in an aesthetically pleasing, ocean-view Beachfront Suite or Penthouse, or a romantic poolside or garden-view Cottage Suite. All British colonial-inspired accommodations are expansive and rich in amenities. “Pay 5 Get 7” pricing varies, and blackout dates from December 18, 2009 to January 5, 2010 apply. Additional resort amenities include:

* Ideal proximity to 12-mile long Grace Bay Beach.
* Access to concierge-planned activities from boat charters to site-seeing tours.
* An oceanfront, European-style spa with a comprehensive treatment menu.
* Grace Cottage, one of the island’s best fine dining restaurants.
* A storybook backdrop that combines indigenous Caribbean enchantments with modern luxuries for wedding and special events.

Lush gardens, shaded palms, shimmering Caribbean waters and lulling ocean waves further complement elegant Point Grace, which sits on the pristine shores of Grace Bay Beach on the island of Providenciales—a community of 25,000 friendly locals and internationals located halfway between Florida and Puerto Rico that is accessible by a 90-minute non-stop flight from Miami. Direct flights are also available from New York City; Charlotte, NC; Atlanta,; Toronto; Ottawa and other international cities.
