Northwest Point Resort
“Very Peaceful”
Boston, MA
Jan 2, 2008
4/5 found this review helpful
My wife and I stayed at the Northwest Point resort over Christmas, and we both agreed that it was our best Caribbean vacation to date. We’ve traveled a lot and typically stay in the best hotels so have fairly high standards. We were there during busiest time of the year and even at full capacity we felt like we had the pool and beach to ourselves. This was definitely not the case when we explored other resorts on the island. It should be mentioned that most resorts on the islands offer condos with kitchens, so the resorts typically only have one restaurant, if that. The Northwest Point doesn’t have a high-end restaurant (they have a poolside restaurant that serves lunch and drinks), as some of the resorts do, but you will want to try the local spots anyway. The views from our room were unbelievable and the sound of the ocean and wind at night (the Northwest side of the island is windier) were perfect. We recommend that you rent a car and that way you can get the best of both worlds - you get the exclusion of the Northwest Point but can explore the bars, restaurants and other resorts and beaches if you like.
The current property managers took over recently and did a better job booking our activities than a hotel concierge service. We were hesitant to have them book reservations for us before we arrived, but you really are better off just trusting their judgment and planning in advance before things book up. They know everyone on the island and have worked on the island in the food and beverage industry for years. When you mention they sent you, you’ll get VIP service.
If you are looking to get away from things and for some peace and quiet, this is the perfect place.

This was one of our most relaxing vacations. We were looking for a quiet, peaceful, secluded resort with no crowds and no construction and we found it.
Northwest Point Resort is the only resort on a long beach; you can walk for miles without seeing anyone. We were so glad to be far away from all the construction on Grace Bay. We slept with open windows and all we could hear all night was the breaking of the waves, it was great and I miss it already. The 1-bedroom condo we stayed at, was very comfortable, cozy, quiet, clean and roomy with a wonderful view of the sea and it was so nice and relaxing having breakfast on our balcony and just listening to the waves. Mike is one of the nicest managers we have ever met, he reserved exactly the kind of room I was asking for in our e-mail conversation and when we arrived he was so friendly and helpful, showed us our room and gave us lots of suggestions where to go for dinner and which places we should see on the island etc. I can really recommend this beautiful resort to everybody, who is looking for a quiet, peaceful, secluded place with no crowds.

We had a pre Thanksgiving get away with our friends and stayed in a 2-bedroom ocean front unit. (B1-207) The view was spectacular! Went snorkeling about 100 yards down the beach and saw nurse sharks, sea turtles, stingrays and lots of fish. The pool and beach were very clean and NO CROWDS! Went walking on the beach for about 3 miles and never saw another soul. Our footprints were the only ones in the sand. The food on island is very good. Ate at Palms (pricey), Paradise Sailing, Hemmingway’s, Baci Smokies and Sharkbite. The condo had a very well equipped kitchen. We went to the IGA for groceries and the selection was very good. Had breakfast on the condo balcony and lunch on the beach everyday. If you want a relaxing vacation Northwest Point Resort is the place to go

Northwest Point Resort, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
Quiet and Beautiful
From Ben & Linda Nikolic from Chicago Illinois
My wife and I just wanted to get away from the world for a week. Boy, did we find a place for that. Providenciales is not that big of an Island but has a lot of places to stay. We were looking for a quiet place just to kick back and relax, Northwest Point was just that place. You can walk the beach for miles and not see another person. We stayed in a one bedroom Condo and it was very clean and roomy it had everything we needed. We were on the second floor and had a great view of the Ocean and the large pool. Great Resort but enough of that.
The food is excellent on the Island. We went to Magnolia's for a great dinner at sunset, it's a little pricey but well worth it (Great wine List) For casual food the Tiki Hut and Sharkbite are good and reasonably priced.
If you like water sports Diving, snorkeling etc you make your plans right at Northwest Point even rent a car there (You will need one to get around) I can't say enough about Cindy and Mike they made our stay so special we can't wait to go back. We made a reservation for May.

May 6, 2006: "We definitely will return."
Rating: We just left the Northwest Point Resort on Provo.
The week we spent was fabulous. The resort is located at the end of the road and this is a good thing. There are very few people at the pool and beach. Never more then six in either place. The pool area and grounds are very attractive and well landscaped. There is a small restaurant so you can get a drink.
The walk to the beach from the room takes less than one minute. Down the stairs, across the pool and a few feet on the boardwalk and you are on a beautiful beach. You can walk long distances in either direction. The sand is white and soft. Umbrellas and chairs are provided. Heaven.
The room was great. Clean, modern, well maintained. We had satellite TV. There is also a VCR/DVD player. Everything was provided including detergent to wash the dirty clothes. We were very comfortable.
Provo is a great place to visit. There was an excellent restaurant to visit every
night. Great food and very romantic.
The water is beautiful. A half day sailing trip with Sail Provo was terrific.
Driving on the left hand side of the road was easy. The first few minutes is a
little confusing, but after that you will have no problem.
Rory and Jill were great hosts at Northwest Point Resort.
We definitely will return.

May 20, 2006: "Northwest Point Resort"
Rating:
My girlfriend and I arrived at the Northwest Point Resort on 4/29/06 for vacation and left on 5/6/06. In that time there wasn't a drop of rain in the day or night and the temperature during the day was 83-94 degrees F and at night it dropped to around 70 degrees F. The condo we stayed in was clean and very nice. It was complete with everything you needed for a great vacation. The resort was very quiet and we saw very few people the week we stayed. The beaches on Provo are absolutely beautiful with not a soul to be seen on some of them. We were very fortunate that our condo came with a car (4x4) so we got to explore a lot of the Island and beaches. If you are interested in getting away for some privacy , rest and relaxation then I would highly suggest the Northwest Point Resort. The taxi service is expensive on the island so I would suggest renting a vehicle (4x4). The roads aren't the greatest. The resort had fins to snorkel with, which we did everyday. The reviews I read before we went said that the snorkeling and diving was awesome. They weren't kidding. The island is surrounded by reefs so the underwater wildlife is spectacular. On the last day of our vacation 40-50 yards off of the Northwest Point Resort beach we ran into a 4 1/2 - 5 foot barracuda which came within inches to us just to check us out ( Thank God ). Walking past the sparkling pool of the resort and down to the resorts beach we took a left and walked to the end of the point and saw an Osprey's nest with 2 Osprey's. We also ran into some very friendly locals in that area fishing and they were more than happy to show us their catch. "Yellow tail snapper " I think they said. Malcolm beach a 5- 10 minute ride from the resort was a beautiful beach also. We snorkeled there twice. Among the rocks on Malcolm beach( to the right when you get there) there was a little coved area with sand that we hung out in and snorkeled from there. There were reefs 20-30 yards off shore from there. To the left was a very beautiful resort called Arman Yara. We had lunch there one day and the waves on their beach were crashing so hard that when you were body surfing the waves would actually toss and turn you under water and the next thing you know your tumbling on your back on the sand on the beach. You get up and do it again and again and again until you've had enough because your exhausted from the ocean beating you up ever so gently. Long bay beach.... Another breathe taking view. The day we were there it was roughly 90 degrees F. and we looked up and down the beach for miles and saw no one. There were live conch at the waters edge. The water was about 80 degrees. What else could we ask for. I could go on and on. We will be back.
Thank you Joe H. from Quincy Ma. and Rory M. from Northwest Point. for a great vacation.

May 10, 2006: "Rest, Relax and Rejuvenate"
Rating: If you are looking for the ultimate in rest and relaxation--the Northwest Point Resort is the place for you!!
My husband and I spent 9 days at the Northwest Point Resort (April 19-28, 2006) and couldn't have picked a more wonderful spot!! It was exactly the kind of vacation we were looking for--a Caribbean island without the crowds. There were many days that we had the entire beach and/or the pool to ourselves. The grounds at the Resort are just gorgeous and the entire place is immaculate. Rory and Jill, who manage the resort, are wonderful and extremely helpful.
We rented a one bedroom condo that had everything we needed. Even the laundry detergent is provided. So between one trip to the grocery store and the Sunset Grill we were set. Pollyann and Cassie, who run the grill are awesome! And Cassie can cook! The food and the drinks were excellent.
We did go to Provo for a half day of shopping which was plenty. There are not a lot of shops there, which didn't matter to us because we don't travel to shop. We had breakfast at the Saltmills Cafe, which was excellent. Please say hello to Alina for us if you go there! We walked the beach at Grace Bay and while it's a gorgeous place, it is just hotel after hotel there and not what we were looking for.
Two nights we went to eat at the Tiki Hut at the marina in Turtle Cove. Try the conch pizza--it's excellent. We also stopped at a few of the local places on the road to the resort. There is one place in particular that has great deck over the ocean. It's a great place to relax and have a Turks Head beer.
We absolutely loved our time at the Northwest Point Resort and we would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a beautiful spot to unwind, relax and soak up the sun!!
