Hotel review: COMO Parrot Cay (Turks & Caicos)

Wednesday newsletters always feature a luxury hotel and/or flight review.

Today (May 7, 2014): Review of COMO Parrot Cay (Turks & Caicos). 

COMO Parrot Cay is an award-winning luxury resort located on its own private island of 1,000 unspoilt acres with a mile-long powdery soft beach in Turks & Caicos, an island nation which harbors some of the world’s best beaches. This exclusive island hideaway delivers foot-in-the-sand luxury with COMO’s service ethic, holistic therapies, yoga, diving and world-class cuisine. A favourite among celebrities are the private villas, with their own pools, direct beach access as well as the 24-hour service of COMO’s acclaimed butlers.

COMO Parrot Cay features in my top 10 lists of the most luxurious resorts in the Caribbean, the world’s most exclusive private island resorts, and luxury hotels loved by celebrities.

PROS & THINGS I LIKE

CONS & THINGS TO KNOW

COMO Parrot Cay is a brilliant, high-end resort, located on a gorgeous beach. I highly recommended it, but IMHO there is still room for some improvement:


MY VERDICT

TIPS FOR FUTURE GUESTS & SAVE MONEY

COMPARISON WITH OTHER TURKS & CAICOS LUXURY HOTELS

Amanyara (read my review here) and COMO Parrot Cay are hands down the best hotels in Turks & Caicos. They are operated by two of the most luxurious hotel brands in the world.

If you want to combine them both, as I did, stay at COMO Parrot Cay first, so that you keep the “best for last”.


BEST TIME TO VISIT

Like other islands in the Caribbean, Turks & Caicos’ dry seasons and peak travel period lasts from December to March.  However, the best time to visit Turks & Caicos is April and May, a sweet spot featuring lower prices and fewer crowds. The weather is pleasant year-round with average highs that hover in the 80s, but these islands do experience a rainy season, and the threat of hurricanes lingers from June to November.

The resort is located a 20 minute van drive + 40 minute boat trip from Providenciales International Airport, which is served by the following airlines (click here for a direct link to their websites):
