We got back about a week ago from Provo and I’m just getting around now to writing up my trip report. We stayed at RWI in a 1 bedroom ground floor unit and it was a good experience all around. I highly recommend the property and this particular unit. We spent every morning relaxing on the patio looking at the beautiful gardens and the partial water view. We were in building 2, which was a good location, close to the beach, pools and restaurant. We really liked how the gardens were designed so that pathways did not cut directly in front of your room—this meant we had good privacy even though we were on the ground floor. Renting privately was easy—everything happened as it was supposed to and we really liked how the owners had maintained this particular unit. Among the bonuses were candles, an Ipod dock, coolers to use as well as well as water toys, rafts and a beach blanket. We had maid service once during the week and I actually preferred not having them come every day so we could relax in the morning and not worry when someone would be knocking on the door.

Ann & Fred, the Queen Ann Suite was wonderful! Very warm & inviting, great bed & shower. Beautiful views and we had everything we needed right there. Mango Reef was excellent, loved the escargot and yes Ann the Surf & Turf was our favorite also! This is our 2nd time to T&C, we will return again, it is our favorite! And we will be returning to the Queen Ann Suite. It doesn't get any better than this! The T&C Lovers Scott & Joy Ottum

The Royal West Indies grounds are breath taking. Very well manicured, there was always someone around tending to the plants and friendly, too. The pool was clean and very pretty. The beach was absolutely beautiful. You can not beat Provo, Grace Bay Beach. There were always beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and the staff was ready to lend a hand with a smile. The sail boats were in good condition and there were enough life vests for our family of 4. The Queen Ann Suite was clean, well equipped and stocked with toys for the kids, books, movies, cd music, floats, etc. The maid did a great job and was very friendly. The food was wonderful at the Mango Reef and having it next to the pool was a bonus. One of our favorite restaurants on the island. We hope to come back again, we loved it so much, our children loved it too. A great and blessed family vacation

Hi Ann, Just wanted to express our thanks for a wonderful holiday. We've never experienced a vacation where we felt so at home. I loved having a space for everything, your condo has thoughtful details to ensure that travellers have a touch of home. I don't ever recall having enough hangers, shelves, drawers on any of our prior trips. Your condo at Royal West Indies was lovely, we believe it's situated on the best part of Grace Bay Beach. The water was spectacular - as you well know. We're considering a return trip next spring & hope to request your condo again.

Hi Ann - It WAS a very memorable trip - mostly due to the fine accomodations you provided us. Everything was just PERFECT. The condo is beautiful and in a great spot. I love that you can see the ocean from the patio. The place could not of been cleaner, nicer, or more well furnished. Everything is kept with such great care and we treated everything there as if it were our own home. In fact, we almost did not even need the 'maid' service, but it was still a nice touch to have the clean sheets and any stray sand up off the floor a few times. We did our 4th trip with Capt Bill/Outback for sunset and glow worms -the first time in 7 that we have been on Provo and I finally got to see the glow worms!!! If we are lucky enough....maybe I will contact you again for a rental next year - again, many thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us!!

You guys have a great place...we were extremely impressed with RWI and the grounds are simply outstanding! Of course, the beaches are breathtaking and it was nice to have good food in the Caribbean for a change. Of the places we've been in the Caribbean, Provo has to be near the top of the list. Everything exceeded our expectations! We will certainly be back and I've referred several of our friends to your listing. P.S. I appreciated the float with built-in cup holder.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your condo. From the minute we walked in we knew we were going to have a great two weeks. The place was spotless when we arrived and you really thought of everything…right down to the CD, which we enjoyed listening to during our stay. It has been four years since our last visit to TCI and we really noticed a big difference. Thanks again for making the rental process so easy, and Fred’s call to see if everything was okay during the first week was really thoughtful. We hope that we will be able to rent your condo again!
