Superb Ambiance and Great Happy Hour We visited in the summer of 2012 and was impressed enough to return in 2015. Grill 66 & Bar overlooks the Intercostal, bridge and marina. The ambiance is impeccable. We enjoy the Happy Hour from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. There is a separate menu and reduced drink prices on selected drinks. Happy Hour…
A Few Tips about this Hotel We booked here in the summer of 2012 and were able to snag a tower view of the ocean and the Port of Everglades. There is no question the view was incredible. This year we came during the heart of tourist season and were able to get one of the last rooms along…
Maybe the Best Mall in the Southeast Located about a mile east of I-95 PGA exit, The Gardens Mall is a two story complex with over one hundred stores in the upper echelon of pricy items. Nordstrom’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, Sears and Bloomingdale’s are main-stay stores. We like walking this mall. There are approximately 1800 Fit-Bit steps to…
The Soups were Good Located in the Embassy Suites near the Miami airport, it is a passing alternative to an area lacking any restaurants. A fast flowing waterfall is nearby and there are several tables close to that attraction. There is plenty of room inside and inviting bar area too. My wife liked her Black Bean soup. I enjoyed…
Advantages and some Negatives As we live over a hundred miles from Miami and having to take an early flight out, we decided to book this hotel. The decision was due for the extended car parking offered by this Embassy. A shuttle will take you to the airport or even the port of Miami. We had Seri lead us to…
A Few Tips on Visiting the Only Conch Farm in the World Located on the southern end of Leeward Highway, the only Conch Farm in the world is easy to find. You will eventually hit a dirt road for a short while, but don’t let this discourage you from visiting. This was our second visit, first being in 2007. Unfortunately,…
A Great Salad Bar There appears to be two main grocery stores on the island, one being the IGA on Leeward Highway, and the other close to Salt Mills known as Graceway Gourmet. We did find cheaper “ice cream” products at IGA as well as a few other products. Going to any one of these grocery stores is a…
Great View, Ambiance and Food Located along the beach at Sibonne Beach Boutique Hotel, is the long established Bay Bistro. We were here in 2007 and enjoyed this place very much. Our 2015 culinary experience was as good. The ambiance is exceptional along the patio. There is plenty of seating to view Grace Bay. The service was good and friendly.…
A Few Tips about Smith’s Reef Unlike Coral Gardens Reef, not many snorkelers visit here. Located off of Bridge Road by Turtle Cove, Smith Reef is actually easy to get to. At low tide, you can actually see the reef system, which is part of the Princess Alexandra National Reserve. Bridge Road quickly turns to Coconut Road and I like…
Great view, Good Food and Friendly Service Located at the Coral Gardens Resort, this is an easy place to find as you walk through the complex to reach the restaurant. You can park outside the complex, one of the few negatives about this place. With many of the Restaurants on Turks and Caicos being “higher end” establishments, it was…
