“An idyllic stay on North Caicos - we will return!”
If you’re after a quiet beachfront getaway, this is one of the best! The rooms are just steps from a beautiful, mile‑long beach, and there are plenty of chairs, loungers, hammocks, etc. to settle into for a good read, a nap, or just to watch the ocean or stars. Alveda, the property manager, is very helpful and cooked us a lovely dinner our first night, and then was always immediately available via WhatsApp to answer questions, arrange taxis, make dinner recommendations, etc. The room was very spacious with a decent‑sized king bedroom, a living area with a small kitchen, sofa, and dining table, and best of all, a huge screened‑in porch with Adirondack chairs, a table and chairs, bikes for exploring, and wonderful breezes through the screens. The wind blew pretty strong most days of our trip, so we didn’t swim too much, but we did get into the water a couple of days and it is very sandy and shallow enough to enjoy even if you’re not a confident swimmer. North Caicos island is very quiet, with very little tourist infrastructure, but there was a nice beach bar, the Barracuda, just 200 yards down the beach with excellent cocktails and good food, and a small grocery store with the basics a short walk away. We rented a car for 1 day and went to Middle Caicos Island to see Mudjin Beach (spectacular), and we would probably rent a car for our entire stay next time so we can get to restaurants and grocery stores more easily. We walked 25 minutes over to a newer restaurant Cilantro’s, and had two absolutely fabulous meals—Chef Trap is definitely trying to provide a wider variety of dishes than the standard fare (conch, grouper, chicken, etc.) found everywhere else. We went the first week of January, and had the whole place to ourselves 5 out of 6 nights, and saw maybe 10 people per day walking by on the beach, so if privacy and quiet is what you desire, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! If the place was full, a bit more privacy between the screened‑in porches would be nice. Other than that the place, while a bit rustic, is absolutely wonderful.
