We’re back. Thanks to Jonathan, Sweepstakes Ninja and Woman’s Day my wife and I went to Turks and Caicos (first time for us) staying at Ocean Club Resorts. Our 9AM flight from Harrisburg, PA was canceled at 10:30PM the previous night. We were able to book an earlier (7AM) flight. We just had a 3 hour layover in Charlotte, NC before our connecting flight. Not too bad. The accommodations were great. The resort had a “sister” resort less than a mile down the beach. We had direct access to 3 restaurants and 3 swimming pools. The meal certificates we received really paid off since food was kind of expensive on the island. One night I ordered an 8 oz. steak and it was listed as $43 on the menu. The certificate also included an adult beverage. Our bill for that one meal was over $100 and all was covered by this great sweeps win. Breakfasts and Lunches were very, very good. They also gave us 6 extra drink certificates in addition to the included drink with dinner. Oh, we also got invited to a complimentary Rum Punch Party at the Ocean front bar which included free Rum Punch and salsa and chips. The entire staff in addition to our room was great. A junior garden suite included full kitchen, washer/dryer and 2 double sliding glass doors leading to a large screened-in balcony on the 2nd floor. The resort was only 40% occupied which made it seem very quiet and private. The beach and ocean were 2nd to none. It was breathtakingly beautiful. The sunsets and sunrises were phenomenal. Now we’re home and fully relaxed and motivated to enter many more sweepstakes.
