I've trying to decide between Turks, Bermuda, Bahamas, or Aruba for September.

Any recommendations?

No points hotel, but there are good places at 140-160 a night

There is a transient Shliach Rabbi Blooming but isnt there all the time.

There seems to be a lot to do, you can rent a bike or car etc or boats.. I have yet to decide on activity's short of biking the island, beach and snorkel

I have actually been to 3 out of those 4 places, not Aruba.
If you are looking for a place with amazing resorts with tons of activities to do, choose Bahamas.  If you are looking for a quick getaway but not interested in fancy resorts, then choose Bermuda.  If you are looking for a place with the most unbelievable beaches and picturesque views (chalk sound) then choose Turks and Caicos.
All three destinations were very relaxing.

I would recommend renting a car and going to Taylor Bay (greatest beach in the world and very private) and checking out chalk sound, breath taking views.

Maybe you got a good time, but a lot of people on TA are saying it's crowded.

I think it is crowded by grace bay, I didn't stay there, but the Island is far from crowded.
Have you ever been to Cancun?  That place is crowded, t&c is nothing like that.

Yeah, but if you read the link, their NYC-PLS flight is on Saturday - doesn't help much!

Can anyone recommend a specific hotel? I'd like a reasonably priced hotel that has access to great beaches.

Thanks.  Be sure to rent a car at least for a day and get to see chalk sound and taylor bay; you have never experienced jaw dropping views until you get to these places

Did you go off the grounds to find beaches or was the property itself nice as well?

Property is right on the beach (there is no room access) smack in middle of grace bay. (I found an excellent rate actually thru trip advisor which sent me thru Expedia.   was about $50 less per night then with Expedia directly). Make sure to book up a room that has nice beach views.

Is there anything to do as far as shabbos in Turks and Caicos? What about kosher food? Any leads would be much appreciated.

Bring. There is practically no kosher food there other then super high priced items you would find in a reg supermarket.
As far as I know there is no Chabad or any frum Yidden or anything (I was there 1.5 yrs ago) other then tourist that may show up
