The Somerset at Grace Bay is our favorite at T&C. Not cheap but beautiful, smaller place so when you are on the beach you are not surrounded by a hundred people. Very well appointed rooms and overall great atmosphere. We aren’t much for crowded all-inclusive spots and this is the antithesis. I’d compare it to The Reefs in Bermuda.

7 stars although a while back now. Salt water pools and was very relaxing in general.
I am sorry , didn’t understand your post. Which place is the one that “everything a vacation should be “? Club med ?
All-inclusives are for lazy people. Islands normally have better options for food and nightlife (unless you are on a super private island like Peter Island or Little Cayman).
Damn lazy people on vacation! They should be workin‘ their asses off on vacation!
Get out of the resort and enjoy the culture and local establishments. A little work makes the vacation even better!
Cruises blow even worse. We are regular visitors to several islands and the local food is outstanding. Each restaurant seems to have a unique vibe and story to tell. Don't miss out with those lame cookie-cutter inclusive resorts.
I went to Turks and Caicos Club Med several times in 80s and early 90s.
Thanks for recommendation. Are there good restaurants there and other things to do? Enjoy relaxing on beach but also would like to dive/snorkel and maybe play a round of golf with the wife.The Somerset at Grace Bay is our favorite at T&C.

Is there a certain area to stay if you want great restaurants/ some night life?
I know what you mean. I was there around 7 times in the 80's.
At the Somerset you can do as much or little as you’d like. We’ve been there several times and done the following: took a hotel sailboat out, snorkeled off the beach, went on a snorkeling excursion on a boat, hired a boat and captain to give us a day long private cruise with snorkeling on cookout on a deserted small island, hung by the beach and pool. There are a couple restaurants onsite that are good re are other resort restaurants in walking distance. I’d say the nightlife is more at neighboring resorts/clubs in walking distance or short cab if you prefer. Along with the Reefs in Bermuda, this is one of our top picks. Not cheap but I’m not looking for bargains on vacations.
seven stars is great

It’s been 30 years since I went to a Club Med. Are They still primarily singles oriented or has that philosophy changed over the years?You can’t go wrong if you just choose a resort on Grace Bay.
The nightlife is in the resort itself. You pay one fee and you eat all you can, drink all you can, and party all you can. The island is only 17 miles long, so it isn’t like there are a Lot of
Restaurants and nightclubs to go to. So It makes sense to do all inclusive in Turks and Caicos and stay at the resort, and not go anywhere else. Being at the resort is like being on drugs without actually doing them. You don’t want to leave, because it’s so much fun and time flies.
I would recommend choosing either Beaches, 7 Stars Resort, or Club Med.
Here are the links.

I always choose Club Med because I love the vibe of the place and they’re the cheapest.
Typical day is:
7 AM - Wake-up and goto buffet and eat an egg white omelet
8 AM - 12PM - Scuba Diving (xtra $$$)
1-2pm lunch
2-3 swim
3-4 nap
4-5pm Massage (xtra $$$)
5:30 - 6Pm shower
7pm - 8pm Buffet Dinner
9pm - 10 pm Resort show
10pm - 1AM Dancing etc
1AM onwards - Sharkeys Bar and Grill onsite
Obviously you don’t have to do scuba diving and they have so many different activities to choose from. This is just to give you an idea.
