Sailrock South Caicos

My wife and I love beachfront villas with privacy, a heated pool, luxurious accommodations, and great service. We've stayed at top spots like Cheval Blanc in the Maldives, Rosewood in St. Barts, Banyan Tree and Rosewood in Mayakoba, Como Parrot Cay, Ambergris Cay, Jumby Bay in Antigua, and Ritz Reserve in Dorado, Puerto Rico. This time, we decided to try Sailrock in South Caicos. It was a mixed experience—breathtaking beach, complete privacy, and an incredible heated pool, but the accommodations and travel logistics left a lot to be desired. Let’s start with the best part. The view from our villa was unreal—our private pool overlooked the Atlantic, and when the wind was calm, the scenery was stunning. The beach was a dream: two miles of soft sand, crystal-clear water, and absolutely no one else in sight. It felt like our own private island. Now for the negatives: Getting there was a hassle. The resort package includes flights from Providenciales, but the schedules didn’t match our international flights, so we booked a private charter through Sailrock. At $4,500 round trip for an 18-minute flight, I expected a seamless experience. Instead, we waited nearly two hours at a tiny, hot, unairconditioned terminal with no food or drinks. The plane itself was old, tiny, and felt thrown together. On the way back, again, they weren’t flexible with flight times, which was frustrating given the price. While the beach near our villa was stunning and empty, there was no beach service—so we carried our own towels and drinks each day. Worse, the entire beach, while beautiful, was littered with plastic and seaweed that the resort never cleaned up. It was disappointing to see such a gorgeous stretch of sand not properly maintained. The accommodations were the biggest letdown. The villa itself felt more like an old Hilton than a luxury resort. Cheap furniture, dim lighting, a low platform bed, weak water pressure, and a tiny bedroom TV with three remotes we couldn’t figure out. The A/C was a wall-mounted unit—not what you'd expect for the price. No hand shower, no slippers, and flimsy doors. The heated pool and view made up for it, but the rooms need serious upgrades to match the five-star price tag. The resort’s other beach, on the calmer western side, had potential but felt more like a budget resort. Loud reggae music, plastic lounge chairs packed in rows, and attendants who wouldn’t move chairs without management approval. It was the opposite of luxury or relaxation. A few highlights: Kiki, a manager, went out of her way to make us happy, and Chef Randy handled our dietary requests perfectly. As a runner, I was hoping for good outdoor routes, but the area around the resort was all dirt roads with potholes, making running impossible. The small gym was fine, but I missed my outdoor runs. Despite the negatives, we still had an amazing week because of the private beach, the pool, and the stunning setting. Would we go back? Yes, but only for the privacy and

Everything about our trip exceeded our expectations! The Sailrock staff makes sure that everything is taken care of for you from the moment they pick you up from the airport. Putra checked with us every morning at breakfast to see what our plans were, and if he needed to take care of anything for us. Trips to the gift shot were even a delight as we got to chat with Juni! Earl, Mario, Agus, and the rest of the food and beverage team were absolutely incredible… We did not choose this destination for the food, but we absolutely should have! Every single meal is top notch. We were excited every day to see what was on the dinner menu!! They were extremely accommodating with special requests as well! No reservations are ever necessary… You are completely relaxed and can dine whenever you are ready. I could go on and on- but this was a bucket list destination for us, that we now can’t wait to return to!

This was our second visit to this resort. Our accommodations were first rate with all the amenities you would expect. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. They couldn’t do enough for us including supplying a daily baked treat. Bartenders are skilled in making the best drinks. The food is fresh and is varied every day with 2 locations onsite. This is the ultimate in a quiet and relaxing vacation. Secluded with a beautiful beach and stunning views wherever you look. No smokers or loud guests. This is an upscale vacation with those who need quiet away time. Not a family spot.

We just completed our second trip to Sailrock Resort and it was as amazing the second time as the first (2023). The property is incredible all around- views of both the Atlantic and Caribbean can be seen as you step into the Great House upon arrival. We stayed in a Ridgetop Suite with beautiful views of the Atlantic from our well appointed and spacious room. The service is so attentive and accommodating - starting with before we arrived and during every day of our trip! From the waiters, bartenders, front desk personnel, excursion coordinators - everyone is so helpful, friendly (even greeting us by name) and really striving to accommodate our every need or wish. Sailrock has one of the very best beaches we have ever seen - the water on the Caribbean beach side is so blue, clear and calm. This resort offers the most relaxing setting - we cannot wait to return again!

Putra, Kiki, Jerome, Katherine, earl, junior and Ricky. We had an incredible time! Beautiful accommodations wonderful service and five star treatment! Wonderful experience you won’t be family trip and we had the best time- you will not be disappointed- HEAVENLY!

I cannot say enough about our stay at Sailrock. We were so warmly welcomed the moment we arrived at the airport and that continued our entire stay. The staff knew us by name and went above and beyond! Starting with Leny who didn't stop working until we had our luggage (it did not make our connecting flight in Toronto) to Roberto who made sure each dining experience was the best and there were so many others! There were special touches all week that made our stay unforgettable. Make sure you have some banana bread if you can, it's simply the best!
