« on: August 10, 2016, 03:20:12 PM »

My wife and I plan on going to Turks and Caicos i a few weeks, and i have a few question for those that have been there:

1) Which Hotel do you recommend i stay at? preferably a quieter or isolated one, and within a reasonable price range. (If there is a hotel that can booked with points, please let me know as i haven't found any.)
2)Is there Walmart or a similar store that sell basic kosher foods on the island? and Do the hotels warm up kosher food for free?
3) What's the best way to get around?
4) Which activities do you recommend for my wife and I (She's expecting).

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
TIA!

Has anyone stayed recently at the Sheraton vistana villages? I got an offer in the mail: 4 nights 5 days for $269. It comes with either $100 at the restaurant on site or 5000 star points. Also they made it clear to me on the phone that house cleaning is officially not included ($40 a day) which I found very interesting.
They give me the option to book the rate and leave it open for 12 months.
Anyone have any input on it?

A week after checking out of the Westin Lagunamar I got an email offering me a 4 night stay plus a $75 resort credit (or 5000 SPG points) for $319 all-in. It's for a Queen studio and I couldn't convince them to give me a one bedroom.

Nevertheless, it seems like I'd be a fool to pass it up, we loved it there and there's still so much we didn't do in Cancun...

Did you get it randomly, or you signed up for something? Because I just stayed there and I didn't get any offer.
Also was it you that I met when you were checking out of the Westin? It was a one night stay for you....

I'm glad I was of help.
Did you find out from chabad of CUN if maya is ok? Or you just ate there anyway.

Fair enough.

For sure, but it's worth making sure that whoever is running these restaurants know what they're doing. Maybe check with Chabad of CUN?

I think it has the same credibility as the other off shoot chabad houses around the CUN in area.
Does chabad of CUN approve of the other unofficial chabad of CUN/playa hechsher?

You're referring to maya cafe? No it was not part of the chabad house.

Nice TR, please post some pics.

Why did you reserve a manual car when for a couple bucks more you could have reserved an automatic?

Thanks
It was just a silly mistake. i wasn't paying attention when i reserved.

Quote from: lunatic on July 06, 2015, 11:05:09 AM

Was it on a second floor? Wondering if that is the one I saw, (see my TR above) or if there is another hidden one

Its not in the chabad house, because its not owned by chabad.

Its a minute walk away from chabad.
Heres how you get to the cafe: When you get off the ferry, cross the road, walk 3 blocks down, make a left, and the Cafe is on the left hand side, a half of block in.
