Alexandra Resort – All-Inclusive

Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos

4.1(899 reviews)

Family

Alexandra Resort sits on 600 feet of Grace Bay Beach, and staying directly on that sand is the resort's defining advantage. It is an all-suites property of 90 studios and suites ranging from garden-view studios to a four-bedroom oceanfront penthouse, and the newly renovated Deluxe Studios and Deluxe Suites have brought much of it into a genuinely modern space. The staff culture is what keeps guests coming back: the team is small enough to know who you are, attentive enough to make you feel it, and experienced enough that service rarely slips.

Traveler Insights

Pros

+600 feet of frontage directly on Grace Bay Beach, one of the most celebrated beaches in the world, with calm, clear, warm water and included lounge chairs and umbrellas
+Recently renovated Deluxe Studios and Deluxe Suites with modern furnishings, and some renovated units add an in-suite washer and dryer that families on long stays love
+Suites have full kitchens and studios have kitchenettes, plus large decks or terraces, so this works far better than a standard hotel room for families and groups
+Staff greet guests by name within a day and are rarely rushed, and recent guests keep singling out people who went above and beyond
+Unlimited domestic and premium drinks plus an in-room fridge stocked with water, soft drinks and beer, and all taxes and service charges are built into the rate
+Stay at one, play at two: a complimentary shuttle runs to sister resort Blue Haven in Leeward, where your all-inclusive covers its restaurants, its infinity pool with swim-up bar and its private beach
+Kids 12 and under stay, eat and play free, and the Fun Pals program runs age-appropriate activities from tots to teens at both resorts
+A lot is included on the water and on land: Hobie Cat sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, a water trampoline, one tennis court, two pickleball courts, a 24-hour gym and free bikes

Cons

−One of the pricier all-inclusives in the Caribbean, and some guests feel the dining range does not fully match what they paid
−Dinner is the weak meal: recent guests praise breakfast and lunch, but dinner can swing from excellent to forgettable on different nights
−The on-site restaurant lineup is modest, so on a week-long stay the Blue Haven shuttle becomes part of the dining plan rather than a bonus
−Plenty is excluded from the all-inclusive: room service, spa treatments, motorized water sports, diving, airport transfers and tours all cost extra
−Elevate Spa has just two treatment rooms, so book massages early and do not expect a full spa complex
−Older reviews flag thin walls between adjoining suites, and the resort still distinguishes renovated from unrenovated rooms, so confirm which you are getting

Life orbits a large lagoon-style pool with a swim-up bar, pool volleyball and Coconut Bar nearby, and organized activities and theme nights fill most evenings. Asu is the main restaurant, with a buffet format alongside the beachfront Fish Deck, The Truck Stop for tacos and Pizzaluka for slices by the sand. Recent guests rate breakfast and lunch highly and are more mixed on dinner, which is where the free shuttle to Blue Haven earns its keep, since your all-inclusive covers its restaurants, pools and beach too. Drinks are a genuine highlight, with premium spirits included rather than well liquor only, and suites with full kitchens give families room to spread out.

Alexandra is the right pick for couples, families and groups who want to plant a flag on one of the best beaches in the world without worrying about logistics. Families get a real kids program and free stays for under-13s, but there are no water slides or water park, so kids who need those will be happier at Beaches Turks & Caicos, which is far larger with more restaurants and a busier atmosphere. Compared with Beaches, Alexandra is smaller, calmer and more personal per guest, at a price that sits firmly in the islands' top tier. Regent Village and Salt Mills Plaza are a 20-minute walk or a short ride on the free bikes, the Thursday Fish Fry at Bight Park is close by, and Provo Golf Club is a 10-minute drive.

Common Questions

Is Grace Bay Beach really as good as people say?

Yes, and guests rarely feel let down after the hype. The water is shallow, flat, warm and a shade of blue that looks unreal in person, with no real surf, which makes it ideal for swimmers of any ability. Guests also report little trouble finding beach chairs even in busy holiday weeks.

Is Alexandra Resort good for families?

Yes. The resort markets itself to couples, families and groups, kids 12 and under stay, eat and play free, and the Fun Pals program runs activities for ages from tots to teens at both Alexandra and Blue Haven. Suites with full kitchens and multiple bedrooms help a lot. What it does not have is water slides or a water park, so families who want those should look at Beaches Turks & Caicos.

How does the food hold up at this price?

It is the most debated part of the stay. Recent guests describe breakfast and lunch as excellent and enjoy the theme nights, while dinner gets the most mixed reviews. Rotating between Asu, Fish Deck, The Truck Stop and the Blue Haven restaurants via the free shuttle is the best way to keep a longer stay interesting.

What is not included in the all-inclusive rate?

Per the resort, the all-inclusive excludes room service, retail purchases, spa treatments and massages, motorized water sports, diving, airport transfers and tours. Taxes and service charges, all meals, premium drinks, non-motorized water sports and the Blue Haven shuttle are included. Alcohol is not served to guests 17 and under.

Are the renovated rooms worth requesting?

Yes. The resort has recently unveiled renovated Deluxe Studios and Deluxe Suites, and guests in renovated units are noticeably happier, with some units adding an in-suite washer and dryer. It is worth confirming the room category and renovation status with the resort before you travel if a modern room matters to you.

How does Alexandra compare to Beaches Turks & Caicos?

Both welcome families, but they are built differently. Beaches is much larger, with water parks, many more restaurants and a more animated atmosphere. Alexandra is smaller and quieter, with more personal service, a kids program without the water-park infrastructure and a second resort to play at through Blue Haven. Couples and families who value calm and the beach tend to prefer Alexandra; kids who live for slides will prefer Beaches.
