Grand Turk condo/ hotel rooms?

[oceancat]

Hi. I know Grand Turk was greatly affected by a hurricane last year, so I am wondering what condos (need a 2 bedroom) are still standing and renting (if any). We aren't wedded to a condo, but do need 2 bedrooms or at least a separate master bedroom (kid can sleep on a pullout sofa). Since Grand Turk is small, how far out should I book the rooms? Just got back from a vacation in Mexico with not nearly enough diving and need to start planning the next one . What dive operators are recommended?
Thanks!

There are three on the island. All have good reps. I used Oasis and was very happy. We booked a two bedroom condo with Aqua House and were VERY pleased. Excellent accommodations and walking distance to all you need. Check it out at: Aquahouse Beachfront Condominiums, Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands

Oceancat: I too am looking for a condo on Grand Turk. I spoke with Dana at Aquahouse and he advised-

Hi Ted,

Please forgive me for this extremely late reply. I have just returned from Grand Turk where there is still no reliable Internet service since last September's hurricane. Hurricane Ike destroyed or severely damaged nearly every building on the island, and Aqua House was no exception. We have just begun to rebuild, and I don't expect to have Aqua House ready for occupation until July at the earliest. It will be even better than before, and I will be updating my web site accordingly. Meanwhile, you might be interested in Crabtree Apartments which are just down the beach from me or Island House which is not on the beach but has a pool and provides vehicles for their guests. I will add you to my list of inquirers and notify you when Aqua House is once again open to guests. By the way, by some miracle, our beautiful reef was not damaged at all by the hurricane. I suggest you e-mail Oasis Divers (oasisdiv@tciway.tc) for further information. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. We aren' t thinking of going until winter 2010, so hopefully more lodging will be repaired by then and the people of Grand Turk are spared another devastating hurricane this upcoming season.
