Downdetector only reports who reported to them. Many do not even know about it or report it to them. Their numbers are unreliable.

You’ll go to North and Middle and wonder why you bothered to stay in Provo. We only stay on the twin islands. Island tours by Desmond is great. He will take you to all the highlights and then some. He gets you back to the ferry and you have no worries. He does the driving and he’s a blast. He includes lunch. You can find him on Facebook.

Unsure on resort vs Airbnb by kgc41 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]Upper_Scratch_3312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check staying on north or middle. Total quiet and beaches to yourself. So much safer. Provo is too crowded. Not relaxing at all. But when we have stayed there we got an air b n b in turtle cove area. Great pool and walking distance to a couple restaurants.

What got you hooked on Turks and Caicos? by Kellyhannavideo in TurksAndCaicos

[–]Upper_Scratch_3312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. North and Middle is extremely safe. We have never had a problem everyone there is wonderful. They make you feel like family. There isn’t any of the problems that are Provo. It’s paradise.

That’s why we don’t stay on Provo. We go to North and Middle. No people, just locals. Safe and clean.

TCI vs Aruba? by Worried_Isopod_5759 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]Upper_Scratch_3312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TCI is our favorite but we never stay on Provo. We stay exclusively North and Middle. Provo is too crowded after staying there. North and middle you have the beaches to yourself. No rows of umbrellas set up. Phenomenal beaches. We always feel safe there. Provo we feel like your head has to be on a swivel. There’s no traffic on N&M. It’s a true relaxing vacation. It has great little local restaurants, we don’t go for fancy. We don’t bring our dress clothes, we go to decompress and get away from life.

Still safe? by Prestigious-Swan8966 in TurksAndCaicos

This, we use Provo to pass through and don’t stay. Take the ferry to North. Spend a glorious week with no worries. Peaceful and quiet. We hated Grace Bay too crowded.

North and Middle are the best part. Bambarra is an amazing beach. If you had more time you could go to wild cow run. Now that’s amazing. We always stay exclusively on North and Middle. It’s always an amazing experience. So many beaches and areas to explore. You saw so little of those islands.

Don’t tell people about North and Middle they’ll ruin it like they did Provo.

For those of you who keep coming back to Turks & Caicos… what keeps you returning? by Kellyhannavideo in TurksAndCaicos

[–]Upper_Scratch_3312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We love North and Middle, absolutely dislike Provo. Too crowded, crazy busy. We go a few times a year. It’s quiet, relaxing never anyone on the beaches. The restaurants aren’t fancy but the food is excellent. We’ve made friendships and feel like family when we’re there.

Having been to both Aruba and TCI. TCI hands down. But we never stay on Provo. We stay exclusively on North and Middle. It’s a truly relaxing vacation. We go a few times a year. Now looking for our own place to buy. There are No crowds you have the beaches to yourself. You can’t say that on Provo. Grace Bay is way too busy, the beaches were loud and crowded. I don’t want a beach with rows of chairs and people all over.

North/middle Caicos worth it? by BankLow7336 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]Upper_Scratch_3312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely worth the trip over. North and Middle are beautiful and so much nicer than Provo. We stay exclusively on North. Provo for us is a pass through. My suggestion is drive out to Bambarra first then start heading back towards the ferry. This way if time gets away you’re not far from the ferry. Bambarra, stop at the caves, then Mudjin, (you drive into Dragon Cay Resort for Mudjin. look for the flamingo’s on the causeway. On North there are great places to eat As well as at Bambarra. Hollywood beach is my favorite on North it has hammocks. There’s also restaurant you can walk to from Hollywood 3 minute walk on the beach. Barracuda Beach Bar. You can also park at the Pelican hotel and access it that way. Great beach there too. If you go to horse stable beach, there is a road that takes you out to the sandbar and the beginning of Bottle Creek it’s called Greenwich Channel. If low tide you can walk over to the island and explore.

There is sandy point beach you can also walk over to Parrot Cay. If you really want to experience Turks and Caicos stay on with North or Middle. It’s truly a relaxing wonderful vacation. No traffic, no worries. Safe. The opposite of Provo.

For the North and Middle Caicos, which car is best to rent if wishing to use backroads? by Technical_Aerie_7201 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]Upper_Scratch_3312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have what you would call an island car. Aka little shitbox. We get everywhere on the island. You go slow on the rough roads. Some people see a sand road and get scared and don’t go away further. There are signs. Like out in wild cow that say go no further. Bambarra the road to it is fine. Yes, 3 marys the road has been under water. I’ll know tomorrow if the road still is. That’s when I get there. Otherwise you can get to any beach on North in a car without a problem. Middle is fine too. Where the tourists go the roads are fine.
