Not only this, but Grace Bay and the Turks and Caicos are still the best 'undiscovered destination' in the Caribbean. As soon as you step onto your balcony, dine in our oceanfront restaurant, walk onto the powdery-white sand, or swim in the amazingly clear turquoise water of Grace Bay Beach - you'll understand why Sibonné Beach Hotel is the best choice for your Caribbean vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Sibonné was the first hotel built on Grace Bay Beach - so it enjoys the best position on the most famous beach in the Caribbean. Many of our guests have returned time and again since the hotel was built as 'Le Deck' - and our hotel was the only resort on all of Grace Bay Beach. Renovated and renamed Sibonné Beach Hotel - we are the most intimate hotel on Grace Bay Beach. With only 29 rooms, our guests enjoy the distinction of being closer to the beach than anyone staying at the more recent large-scale resort developments such as Point Grace, The Sands, The Alexandra, Somerset or The Palms - which are just a short walk down the beach in either direction. Add to this - the glorious view from our restaurant - The Grace Bay Bistro - where you will enjoy your breakfast each morning as you look out onto the beach and the aqua-blue waters of Grace Bay. The Grace Bay Bistro is one of the few restaurants on Grace Bay that offers fine dining with a beach front location and full ocean view from our dining room. With all of the room amenities of a modern resort - cable TV, mini-fridge, hair dryer, in-room safe, air conditioning, ceiling fan, direct-dial telephones with data-port, coffee maker, clock - we offer comfortable accommodations, the best location on Grace Bay Beach and everyday value rates that make Sibonné Beach Hotel your best choice in the Turks and Caicos Islands - for your perfect Caribbean vacation! We don't have a spa, shops, casino, or nightlife - but there are several options just a short walk down the beach in either direction at some of our larger neighbor resorts. We don't have a concierge, room service or a tour desk - but we do have some of the friendliest staff in the Caribbean that will gladly help you make any arrangements to enjoy your vacation in the sun - just stop by the office and talk to Patsy or Sandra at the front desk.

Golf, Tennis and Outdoor Sports in Providenciales Sibonné Beach Hotel has easy access to lots of sporting opportunities for visitors who want to combine 'beach time' with more intensive activities such as golf, tennis and horseback riding. Golf: The Provo Golf and Country Club has an 18-hole, par 72 golf course designed by Karl Litten. Although this is a private club, visitors may use the facilities with prior arrangements. See their website at www.provogolfclub.com for details and fees. The Golf Club is about a 10 minute drive from Sibonné. Tennis: The Provo Golf and Country Club also has two tennis courts. Jogging: There are few places better for a morning or evening jog than Grace Bay Beach - which is just steps from your room at Sibonné. Stop by the bar for a bottle of water before you go - or there are plenty of places to stop for a drink up and down the beach in either direction. Horseback Riding: Every evening you'll notice the horseback riders taking their sunset ride along Grace Bay Beach. If you want to join in - you'll have to make arrangements in advance. Even though you may see a horse on the beach outside the hotel - this belongs to one of our regular restaurant customers who rides along the beach to reach our Grace Bay Bistro. If you want to ride, you'll have to go to the stables which are a short drive from Sibonné. Cycling: Although the easy terrain of the island may seem perfect for bicycles - bear in mind that the sun can be very hot (and dehydrating) during mid-day; roads are full of potholes and sand; driving on the left may be confusing to some and traffic can be very busy on main roads. In other words - cycling on Provo is not for the occasional bicycler - but can be a great way to explore the island for more experienced cyclists. Football: Here in Provo, football means Soccer - not the American-style contact sport. The Turks and Caicos Football Association has a website at www.football.tc with all the details and schedules. Games are held at the stadium behind the IGA supermarket - about a 10-minute drive from Sibonné. Grace Bay Bistro at Sibonné Beach Hotel Casual elegance at reasonable prices - right on Grace Bay Beach Even before you see the menu - you'll be amazed by the view from our restaurant at Sibonné Beach Hotel. Like the hotel itself, the Grace Bay Bistro is closer to the beach than any other restaurant on Grace Bay. Even at the very expensive resorts, you won't find a better view to enhance your dining experience. But the view is just a preview of the fine dining to follow! Ask anyone who's been to Provo and we're sure that they will agree - our food is some of the best on the island. Grace Bay Bistro is always recommended. Our chef's commitment to using the very best ingredients possible, a creative menu that combines fresh Caicos seafood with International favorites prepared with a Caribbean flare, plus an extensive wine list - are sure to please. Add the friendly service from our staff and we're sure you'll love the results! See the sample Lunch Menu and Dinner Menu below to get an idea of what awaits. If you're staying at Sibonné Beach Hotel - we request that you make dinner reservations before 10am - since Grace Bay Bistro is very popular with guests staying at our neighbor resorts. If you're staying at one of our neighboring resorts - just stop by the restaurant during one of your walks along the beach, or give us a call to make reservation. If you just want something light - its very popular to order soup, salad or appetizers in Junior's Bar - for those nights you may not want a full dinner. Continental breakfast is included in all of our room rates at Sibonné - but we also have a Full Breakfast Menu available every day. Our Weekend Brunch is an island favorite and a fantastic bargain at just $12. This is especially true on our island where food tends to be rather expensive when you compare prices to those back home at your local supermarket or fine dining restaurant.
