Alexandra Resort
32 Princess Drive, Grace Bay, Providenciales
Alexandra Resort is an all-inclusive resort centrally located on Grace Bay Beach. The 146-room hotel is part of the Turks and Caicos Collection group of hotels and is the sister property of Blue Haven Resort. As part of the property's "Stay at 1, Play at 2" offering, guests staying at Alexandra have all-inclusive access to the amenities, activities, and dining of both properties.
Alexandra is one of only three all-inclusive resorts on Grace Bay Beach, and is the closest to the central Grace Bay area. It offers a more peaceful stay than the vast Beaches Turks and Caicos and party-centric Club Med Turkoise all-inclusives, whether you're traveling with friends, as a couple, or with family. A perk for families with young children is that kids 12 and under stay and eat for free.
There are many onsite amenities to keep the entire family entertained, such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, Hobie Cat sailing, beach volleyball, ping pong, a large free-form swimming pool, bicycles to explore the island, a 24-hour fitness center, a kids club, and the Elevate Spa. A tennis court and two dedicated pickleball courts are located onsite.
There's nightlife to explore here too, from steel drum shows to live DJs and an in-house entertainment team.
What's Included
All-inclusive stays at Alexandra Resort include all meals at any of the property's dining options, unlimited drinks and snacks, and the use of bicycles, kayaks, paddleboards, sailboats, snorkeling gear, and other non-motorized water sports equipment (like their offshore water trampoline). Taxes, fees, and gratuities are also typically included in your package.
Transportation between Alexandra and its sister property, Blue Haven, is included and runs on a frequent schedule (typically every half hour). Once you're at Blue Haven, you have all-inclusive access to this boutique Leeward property's amenities, such as its restaurants, activities, and private beach.
Not included in stays are spa treatments, transportation from the Providenciales International Airport (PLS), and offsite tours.
While there's plenty to do at the resort, don't be afraid to get out and explore—Alexandra's concierge can book a large range of activities for you and your group to try while you're visiting the islands, such as sunset cruises, sailing charters, kiteboarding lessons, paddling tours in the country's lush mangrove channels, and even a round of golf at the award-winning Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club.
Restaurants and Dining
Alexandra Resort has six dining options, as well as three bars and a specialty smoothie bar.
Asú and Fish Deck are the primary sit-down dining options. Asú is a poolside restaurant that serves buffet Italian, Mediterranean, and Caribbean cuisine. Fish Deck has a seafood-heavy menu with fresh sushi rolls, poke bowls, and island-style stir-fries. It's a great place to try several of the popular local fish and marine delicacies, including snapper, grouper, and conch.
Laid-back dining options include the beachfront Turquoise Grill and Black Rock Grill, The Truck Stop food truck, and Irie Bites, which is on the beach and offers jerk and Caribbean dishes.
The bars at Alexandra include the Rumba Beach Bar on the beach, the Oasis Pool Bar (the pool's swim-up bar), and Coconut Bar. These bars serve both domestic and premium spirits and beverages. Smoothies serves non-alcoholic smoothies and juices as well as açai bowls, specialty coffees, and milkshakes and ice cream.
You can make the most of Grace Bay Beach's incredible sunsets by booking a private beach dinner for two or for the family. These can be arranged by the property's concierge.
Accommodations at Alexandra Resort
The spacious accommodations include oceanfront and gardenview studios as well as one-, two-, and four-bedroom suites. The suites boast stunning ocean views and are great for watching Grace Bay's famous sunsets.
All rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, an in-room safe, and a balcony or terrace overlooking the ocean or the property's lush landscaping. Studios and one-bedroom suites have kitchenettes with a microwave and fridge, while many of the larger accommodations have full kitchens.
Several of the suites and studios were recently renovated, including the four-bedroom oceanfront penthouse suites, and feature modern and comfortable furnishings.
Grace Bay Beach Location
Alexandra Resort is located west of Forbes Point (the slightly defined peninsula where Point Grace stands), so the water here is more sheltered from the typical east-southeast trade winds, and consequently tends to be calmer than at other locations on Grace Bay.
The all-inclusive is flanked by Beaches Turks and Caicos to the west and The Palms to the east.
The ocean here features a clean and sandy bottom. The closest snorkeling reef is approximately 0.8 miles (1.36 km) west down the beach at The Bight Reef (Coral Gardens). This reef is a great shore snorkeling site for beginners or for young children, as it's fairly shallow and starts right off the beach.
Getting to Alexandra Resort
There is no shuttle between Alexandra Resort and the Providenciales International Airport (PLS), and airport transfers aren't included in your stay. It's typically easy to find a shared taxi van waiting at the airport upon arrival. For a more comfortable and quicker ride, you can book a private car service.
It's about a 15-minute drive from the airport to the resort.
The Turks and Caicos Collection
The Turks and Caicos Collection is a resort group that manages several Turks and Caicos all-inclusives. This includes Alexandra Resort and Blue Haven on Providenciales and the luxury Ambergris Cay Resort on the private island of Ambergris Cay.
Blue Haven
Blue Haven is located on Leeward Channel in the upscale Leeward community, and within easy access of the exquisite wetlands of the Princess Alexandra Nature Reserve, which includes Mangrove Cay and Donna Cay.
For guests visiting from Alexandra Resort, a great activity is to use Blue Haven’s kayaks or paddleboards to tour Mangrove Cay, where it’s possible to see lush mangrove estuaries, turtles, stingrays, baby sharks, conch, starfish, birdlife, and Turks and Caicos Islands rock iguanas. Proficient paddlers may also be able to visit Half Moon Bay, which is one of the most beautiful coastal areas in the islands.
