This resort lies on an unbroken seven-mile beach of sand as fine as sugar and nearly as white. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are arrayed along the resort’s beachfront. A 50-foot J-shaped lap pool and a 35-foot-by-20-foot pool provide freshwater swimming. White House Reef, just off the beach, is one of the island's prime snorkeling/diving sites. The resort provides complimentary snorkeling gear (as well as kayaks). An independent dive shop at the resort rents scuba equipment and offers day and night dives on the reef and at other locations. The dive shop also offers lessons and certification instruction. Kayaking, deep-sea fishing, bone-fishing, and bottom-fishing excursions; parasailing; banana-boating; and windsurfing can also be arranged through the dive shop. Provo Golf Club, an 18-hole championship layout, is 3.5 miles east. An 18-hole miniature-golf course is adjacent to the club. The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the resort; fees may apply.

| We stayed in a one bedroom penthouse room, and it was great. 2,000 square feet, a wrap-around balcony that is three times larger than then most suites at a typical resort. This place is very simple, there are only a handful of employees, and they are very friendly, and always remember your name and needs. The water is crystal clear, with great snorkeling just 20 feet away. The Turks & Caicos is not a party place. Bring a bottle of wine, your significant other and relax in paradise. You won't regret it.

| We stayed in the one bedroom penthouse. It was huge. The view was great. The service at the hotel was good. But I thought how silly of the owner not to invest in a large tv for family room, lamps and hairdryers that work,a ceiling thatdoes notleak! Some painting touch ups, a nicer bed cover. Freshen up the place. For the price, you would expect a little more pizzaz. With that said, it was enjoyable stay. The snorkeling was good, a little crowded because people flow there from other hotels. Breakfast good.

| My wife and I stayed at Coral Gardens 6 days 5 nights for our honeymoon. To say this hotel was amazing is not giving it its due credit. We highly recommend Turks and Caicos if you like to relax and just take it easy on one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Go here...Please....It's worth it.

| Coral Gardens is perfect for a very relaxing getaway. The beach is perfect and the water is crystal clear and warm. Get to this hotel and Turks and Caicos soon before it is overdeveloped with a bunch of highrises. It is just spectacular and low key now.

| Stayed in one of the single rooms. Only negative is that it was pricey for the size. 2 pools and no crowds. Beach restaurant actually had very good food. Entire staff made us feel like old friends. Everyone we met were multiple repeat guests. Great snorkeling in front of hotel. Great beach. Nothing much to do on whole island. Nice - not yet built up. Bring plenty of books to read.
