The Regent Grand Turks & Caicos


Where do I stay when visiting Turks and Caicos?    At the Regent Grand Resort.  Where I am pampered whilst relaxing on the pristine beach stretching across 300 feet of glorious Grace Bay beach front.  The Regent Grand takes you into a world of elegant privacy, where the timeless grace of Italian design is infused with the natural beauty of Caribbean living.  Romanesque columns lead to the dramatic central atrium containing the infinity edged and glass mosaic tiled pool, fountains, heated Jacuzzis and immersion into total luxury. All units have terraces with magnificent ocean views over Grace Bay Beach and the always-turquoise ocean. The largest Infinity pool in Providenciales, air-conditioned suites with ceiling fans, direct dial telephones, LCD HD TVs with 90+ cable channels, DVD players and safes and fully fitted kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.

The Regent Grand provides the discerning traveler with the chance to experience “life as it should be” from their large private terraces overlooking the Princess Alexander Park and the some of the calmest crystal clear waters in the world.


This resort is owned by the Parent company of Provo Golf Club, and as such they are able to offer the best rates of golf on the island.  Designed by Karl Litten, this now mature course is consistently rated as one of the top 10 courses in the Caribbean and is now proud to be hosting the 53rd Caribbean Amateur Golf Championship in August 2009.  Substantial investment has recently gone into making exciting and impressive course improvements; together with a refurbished warm-up range and practice chipping and putting areas, Provo Golf Club proves pleasurable and challenging to all who play.

Relaxation of Tahiti & Her Islands.

ome Enjoy the Beauty and Relaxation of Tahiti & Her Islands.
5 Night Vacation Packages from $379


     The Islands of Tahiti are what you've always imagined the South Seas to be – an idyllic getaway from the stresses of the modern world. Here, around these isles, the sea sends giant curls of turquoise breaking onto the colorful reefs that protect tranquil lagoons of warm, bright–emerald waters and white coral–sand beaches. Celebrate a new romance or a special anniversary in one of the most romantic spots on earth. No matter which island you visit, you'll find the same untouched environment that inspired the paintings of Gauguin and countless others.
     Experience the Air Tahiti Nui difference with three classes of service to choose from, comfortable seating, individual LCD viewing monitors in every class and in flight service that will leave you feeling pampered and refreshed, ready for the adventures ahead.
Tahiti | Starting at $379 The beautiful island of Tahiti, encircled by black sand beaches and a crown of steep majestic peaks, is the largest and most diverse of the Polynesian islands. Your options in Tahiti are as broad as your imagination, whether it is natural, nautical or cultural.
Bora Bora & Taha'a | Starting at $549 Bora Bora is situated under the watchful eyes of Mt. Pahia and Mt. Otemanu – two green peaks that rise like exotic island gods, just waiting to be hiked and explored. The Taha'a lagoon is a giant natural aquarium of colorful fish and enchanting coral gardens where you can feed rays and swim with dolphins, or perhaps cruise in a canoe or catamaran.
Rangiroa | Starting at $865 All together, Rangiroa consists of about 250 islands, islets and sandbars – each as unique as its visitors that seek a vacation from the everyday. And with about 100 narrow passages called hoa that divide this atoll, there's practically no spot that's beyond exploration.
Huahine | Starting at $1,009 While Huahine has all of the natural beauty of the other islands, this one is more remote and may be the best ambassador of Tahitian culture, archaeology and mystery. A small, scenic road runs throughout Huahine, giving you a glimpse of beautiful vistas and quaint villages where local arts and crafts are displayed and sold.
Package Prices are Per–Person and Include: • Roundtrip airport/ferry pier/hotel transfers
• Hotel accommodations
• Hotel tax
Moorea | Starting at $675 A wide, shallow lagoon surrounds the mountains where threads of waterfalls tumble down fern–softened cliffs. Moorea is circled with simple pastel–painted villages, surrounded by hibiscus gardens and exotic birds

Hawaii's ONLY All Inclusive Kona Village Resort

DREAMS OF PARADISE COME TRUE IN THATCHED-ROOF OCEANFRONT BUNGALOWS AT KONA VILLAGE RESORT

No telephones, radios, or televisions disturb the serenity nor disrupt the sense of place. Kona Village is the whispery promise of brilliant sunsets, the jubilation of love, the intangible spirit of Aloha, the essence of adventure and discovery, it is charming and enchanting....


?ui=2&view=att&th=1235c163e088da23&attid=0.1&disp=attd&realattid=ii_1235c163e088da23&zw

Serene lagoons surrounded by lush tropical landscaping. Dramatic, surreal, black lava cliffs where ocean meets land. Soft, sandy beaches and a protected bay teeming with fish in brilliant colors. In this place once bustling as a Hawaiian fishing village visitors sense the spirit of the land, the healing power of the sun, ocean and all that is in between. Where is this paradise? It is Kona Village on the island of Hawai‘i.

In a thatched-roof hale (ha-lay, bungalows) on 82 oceanfront acres, guests experience barefoot luxury in an environment that still speaks to its past and showcases “Hawai‘i, as it was meant to be.” No televisions, radios or telephones distract the keen sense of place. Coconuts supplant traditional “do not disturb” signs. Petroglyphs (carvings in stone) hint of ancient times. Turtles laze on the beach, warming in the sun. Included in every stay are meals inspired by this island home, an award-winning ‘aha‘aina (lu‘au), activities such as snorkeling, fitness facility and tennis, to lei-making, stargazing, fishing the traditional way with bamboo pole and more. Every visitor has the opportunity to choose how much - or how little - to do to each day. This is Kona Village where Hawai‘i still exists; unplugged, unpretentious, unmatched.

Most oceanfront hale have private lanai (deck) with Jacuzzi. May and September, reserved for couples only, are particularly romantic times.

An understated Hawaiian village retreat; no glitter, no concrete - just the elements of Hawaiian nature with:
  • Meals INCLUDED - breakfast, lunch and dinner
  • Most activities and adventures INCLUDED
  • All-day children's activities INCLUDED
  • Private polynesian thatched-roof bungalows
  • Winding natural pathways that lead our guests back to their own bungalow

resort.jpg

With good reason, Kona Village Resort is considered Hawai‘i’s most romantic oceanfront resort. Whether along the shore of Kahuwai Bay or amidst ancient Hawaiian ponds you’ll find the perfect place to exchange vows and then linger long after for the honeymoon of dreams in this tropical island Paradise.

Nestled along 82 acres of lush lagoons, sandy beaches and lava landscapes are 125 individual thatched roof hale (bungalows) with spacious floor plans and thoughtful furnishings and amenities. Most oceanfront hale have private lanai (deck) with Jacuzzi. May and September, reserved for couples only, are particularly romantic times
Kona Village Resort, once an ancient fishing village.

Each day is unique at Kona Village Resort. The highlight of your Hawaiian village experience is the award-winning Aha’aina, or luau banquet, an authentic legendary luau at Hale Ho’okipa celebrated on Wednesday and Friday nights. Complete with a Polynesian show, it boasts to be one of the very best in the islands. Timeless traditions can also be found on Tuesday Paniolo Night, which includes food, music, and songs, by Big Island’s Hawaiian cowboys.

family.jpg

Ohana, or family, is the essence of the Hawaiian culture, and keiki, or children, are shaped from their heritage. Youthful hearts are full of wonder and our complimentary children’s program is offered daily except May and September for ages 5-12. Na Keiki in Paradise promotes the Hawaiian culture through locally flavored activities. Keikis have an opportunity to live in the shadows of those memories through fishing contests, coconut painting, net throwing, and Hawaiian crafts, mixed with pool visits and ball games. Teens may seek more adventurous options, such as kayaking, snorkeling tours, sunfish sailing lessons, volleyball, and more.

celebration.jpg

For wedding ceremonies here at Kona Village Resort, we offer many exceptional locations, such as:

The Island site located in our lagoon which features two small islands nestled within a lush, tropical garden setting. Spanned by gracefully arching foot bridges and shaded by a canopy of palms, this area is an idyllic spot to affirm your love.

The South Point Tiki site, situated at the southern end of Kahuwai Bay, is a picturesque spot with unobstructed views of the ocean and amazing Kona sunsets. This beach setting will allow you to sink your toes in the sand as you exchange your wedding vows.
