Why We Like It

The Grand Turk Inn Bed & Breakfast is full of history, yet refurbished to include some creature comforts that are not present in many of the other historic properties. Centrally located, this property lets its guests immerse themselves in the local community, whisking themselves back over a 150 years ago.

Fodor's Expert Review

Staying at the Grand Turk Inn Bed & Breakfast gives you a feel for the way these islands used to be, with its stately British West Indies architecture. Built 150 years ago as a Methodist manse, the inn was lovingly converted in 2005. Sleepy, quiet, and charming, the inn quickly feels like home, as you will certainly meet and mingle with the locals while staying here. Its refurbishment included adding all the modern conveniences, as well as the addition of a huge sundeck on the rooftop facing the ocean and historic waterfront. Incredible views up and down the west shoreline have colorful buildings from yesteryear as a picturesque backdrop against the myriad of blues and greens. Guests may easily stroll the length of the waterfront to enjoy a number of restaurants and watering holes, along with the local musicians that play along the main strip.

Room

The five spacious air-conditioned suites all feature full kitchens, cable TV with DVDs, wireless computer access, personal in-room safes, ceiling fans, and daily housekeeping. Each room's decor is unique; while bamboo creates a tropical feel, antiques remind guests of times past. Each room's location within the inn also offers something special, whether it be direct access to the rooftop deck, out onto the covered front porch, or overlooking the beach and ocean beyond.
