parrot cay babymoon

18 November 2013

every time we want to go off island for a quick get away, our favorite options are either miami for some shopping, or parrot cay for some rest and relax. a couple of months ago my friends and i went on a baby moon get away to parrot cay.

myseastory-2013-11-17-11 not only we are always excited to go there, but they had just won number one on the world’s top 100 hotels by conde nast traveler – how amazing is that! the relaxed ambiance, the amazing setting, the delicious food and the always friendly staff make our experience unforgettable every-single-time. we are so lucky to have parrot cay as our next door island for weekend escapes.

we went to the spa several times, and i had the best pre-natal treatment ever, i couldn’t recommend it enough, it was pure heaven. plus, i love their products with eucalyptus aroma, and always bring home their shower gel to take me back to their relaxing spa when i’m home. myseastory-2013-11-17-1

thank you, parrot cay, for yet another amazing and unforgettable weekend with the best friends!

parrot cay is definitely my favorite hotel in turks and caicos, but if you are staying somewhere else, and it’s not busy seasons, i recommend getting a day pass and at least spending the day on island – contact them through their website parrot cay by como.

my sweet, sweet friend Luz (Luz means light in english, doesn’t she have the coolest name?) came to visit last month, and i couldn’t be happier to have her around for a whole week, to share my life in provo with her and have than enough time to catch up! we took her out to our favourite beaches and restaurants, and asked her to share her opinion on provo.

what do you think makes turks and caicos (providenciales) so special –

The nice temperature, day and night
The beautiful wild beaches and conch
The silence that I so much wished for
Everybody saying “Hi” everywhere, every time
A sand on the beach that doesn’t burn our feet
The gorgeous bougainvillea everywhere

what were your favourite things to do whilst on island –

Watching the most amazing sunsets
The Lemon 2 Go Coffee, it’s the coolest coffee shop I know
The great meals at the restaurants all around the island; Le Bouchon, The Vix, Caicos Cafe and Somewhere.

would you recommend to a friend – Certainly!

thank you, Light, for guest posting on myseastory!

I am starting to really enjoy taking pics with my new wide and macro lens along with the new compact INON flash. I am still playing with the set ups as there are so many variations!

This past sunday, we went to Northwest point where I love to dive as the walls there by Amanyara Resort are just incredibly amazing to look at.

Our first dive was at the Amphitheater and we took the right wall. I went down deep and turned on the HD video to show you the beautiful landscape.

Then there are the sea life including a very cool star fish stuck on a blueish/violet fan. Well, enjoy.

2013-04-21-turks-and-caicos-7 yesterday james was eager to take a few pictures with his new dome lens (it allows taking pictures with the lens half under water and over water) so we made a quick stop at the bight.

when we got there the beach was beautiful, with the sailing boats on the background.

2013-04-21-turks-and-caicos-6 the sun was really hot, and bright, reflecting on the white sand, i could almost not see the screen on the my camera!

we were talking about how lucky we are in turks and caicos, that we get 1 spare hour and we can actually make a pit stop at the beach, go for a quick dive and relax for a while in between plans.

2013-04-21-turks-and-caicos-4 although we have warm weather all year round, we actually start feeling more summery – definitely hotter, the sea water is warmer and some say more humid too.
