Recreation
Both hotels face Grace Bay Beach, part of a seven-mile stretch of powdery white sand along the Atlantic. A water-sports center at each hotel rents snorkeling gear, kayaks, Hobie Cat sailboats, boogie boards, and motor boats. The centers also arrange banana-boating and parasailing off the beach and Jet Skiing (with shuttle service) off another beach. A dive shop at the Ocean Club offers instruction, and snorkeling and scuba-diving trips to reefs and wrecks. The Ocean Club features two pools, one a 110-foot freeform layout surrounded by gardens and the other a 37-foot irregularly shaped pool near the beach. Ocean Club West has a lagoon-style pool—a channel running 300 feet around a garden island. Gas grills adjoin all three pools. Use of three lighted tennis courts (one at Ocean Club, two at Ocean Club West) is complimentary. Ocean Club is across the street from the 18-hole Provo Golf Club. Complimentary shuttles transport Ocean Club West guests to the golf club. An 18-hole miniature-golf course is adjacent to the golf club. The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the resort; fees may apply.

The Ocean Club is also home to the resort's fine-dining dinner restaurant, convenience store, and art gallery. Opened in 2001, Ocean Club West is adjacent to a small shopping center containing a specialty-food and takeout store, and provides complimentary shuttle service to the golf course.
Amenity highlights: Facing an unbroken seven-mile beach, the two hotels (1 mile apart) supply beach umbrellas and lounge chairs. Hammocks are set amid beach grass.

| This was our 2nd trip to Providenciales and 2nd stay at Ocean Club. While the property and island in general had lost some it's "wow!", the beach is still phenominal and the Ocean Club resort provides excellent facilities and a friendly staff. If you plan to spend any time in your room, I would not recommend one of the Studio suites. While it does have a full kitchen, the room seemed cramped and only had a tiny balcony that faced the parking lot. The other rooms are more expensive, but well worth it. The Ocean Club staff was very accomodating in allowing us to upgrade to a Jr. Suite. Also note that there is construction next door (as well as throughout the island). The workers start promptly at 7:00am. If this is a concern, you should consider Ocean Club West.

| Definately a beautiful beach and they always had out enough chairs and towels. The food is not great and is rather expensive. Rooms were basic but had most of what you need. The beds were a bit on the hard side.

| nice room with terrace even though most of them don't have sea view. Nice beach at your door step, nice swimming pool (but no kids swimming pool). It is really appropriate for quiet family holidays. Felt disappointed overall with choice of food (restaurants on site are kind of pricey and food is not that nice to say the least)But this comment is valid throughout the island. We were not disturbed by the noise of contructions mentioned in other reviews, maybe because they are going through the finishings of the condo next to Ocean Club resort
