We went here in the summer of 2013 over 4th of July weekend. Nothing compares to the beach here. Warm temperature, clear crystal blue water, no waves. We would just put our lounge chairs on the shore and relax. We stayed at the Westin which isn't a luxury hotel! You have to make sure you get a pool side room, preferably a room on the first floor that opens up to the pool (makes life much easier). Otherwise, you will get stuck with a view of the parking lot! Best part of this hotel was that the pool area was literally steps away from the beach line. It took a total of two minutes to walk from my hotel room onto the beach! The sunsets here were to die for, and the happy hour was cute. Very relaxing vacation to take with young children and friends. This is a British island so we were able to see fireworks from the shore line...but it wasn't for 4th of July. It was for some British holiday I believe. My memory is foggy here.
There is not much else to do on this island. There was a Ritz hotel/Condo a couple blocks away. We walked to that property and that was that. Not many hotels on the strip. And the island is still relatively expensive. If you are torn between Turks and Cayman, and they are comparable prices, one billion percent go to Turks! No contest.
