Beautiful island but all depends on which resort you stay at.

Little to no kosher food. Bring along....

What's your flight story to the Turks and Caicos? Been thinking about that or St. Martin but ended up booking St. Martin.

Been there twice and loved it. Stayed at the gansevoort (a little too trendy for us) and the veranda (which was AMAZiNG, but recently closed). We went both times in mid-November and had great weather. In terms of food, we brought meals from pomegranate for lunch/dinner and otherwise got food from the local supermarket for breakfast/snacks. My understanding is that a lot of the food is brought in from the states so there were plenty of options with recognizable hechsherim (IIRC, the supermarket prices were in line with the prices you see in Hawaii). In terms of activities, we mainly took it easy, although we did go on a snorkling trip that was a lot of fun. People that we were with went to the casino that's on the island, but it sounded pretty shady. Overall, it's the ideal place to go if you're looking to just relax and get out of the cold. Enjoy!

When we went there weren't any national chains. I've heard rumors of Marriott buying a lot there, but there was local opposition to it, and I certainly don't think it's anywhere near finished yet, if it's even being built at all.
