About Ann & Fred Babucke

Fred and I had so much in common, like the love of travel. Our first trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands we fell in love with the white powdered beaches, turquoise water and friendly people. What an incredible island! We scheduled an appointment with a realtor and after one day of viewing properties, we wanted to make an offer on a one bedroom condo at The Royal West Indies Resort. The resort was only 3 years old and absolutely gorgeous. The architecture, grounds, beach and of course the condo, WOW! Our low key agent said there was no rush but I (Ann) being a realtor wanted to sign immediately. The next day at the pool, we started the process of purchasing the vacation home of our dreams. Three and a half years later (7/7/07) with over 90 guests attending, we were married on the beach in front of the Royal West Indies Resort. We open our doors to you so you may experience the Turks & Caicos Islands we fell in love with!

Ann & Fred Babucke purchased this condo in 2003

Great stay and excellent value!

Submitted: May 13, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This is the third time we stayed at Royal West Indies, but first time renting directly through an owner and not the resort. While all the 1 BR suites are the same in their layout, a few things separate this unit from the others. It was the little "extras" that the unit provides that were not in the others we have had, which made all the difference in the world!

Here's what we really appreciated having that we did not find in the other units we had booked from the resort in the past:
- Cell phone for local calls already loaded with $10 of calls
- Nicer and more comfortable patio furniture - with citronella candles!
- Dishware available that is suitable for eating/drinking outside (plastic!). Especially good with small children! Other units had only the breakable dishes/glasses. Sounds silly, but makes a difference!
- The beach toys provided - our kids were thrilled, and so were we since we didn't have to either pack them in our luggage or buy them in TCI.
- beach umbrella - we used this on Taylor Bay this year and were real happy to have it.
- regular umbrella (we never think to pack this, and it was nice to find one there!)
- Larger assortment of cooking tools, bowls, etc. than in other suites.
- brita water filter also a nice touch in the fridge.

We love Royal West Indies anyway; the grounds are gorgeous, staff very friendly, pool area is nice, and of course Grace Bay is stunning, and only steps away. We had a wonderful stay in Fred and Ann's condo this year, and I would highly recommend it to others. It's an excellent value, and you will not be disappointed!

This condo is wonderful!
Fred & Ann have equipped this condo to make it feel like home ... I only wish it was home!!!
The bed is SO comfortable - the furnishing & decorations are lovely.
Having a first floor was great, we ate breakfast on the patio each day. The unit is extremely private - we rarely saw people unless they were heading the back way to the beach.
The restaurant and staff on site were TERRIFIC.
The beach in front of the Royal West Indies is what dreams are made of .... it's seriously unreal! The water clarity was amazing. It was so fun to have the water noodles and floaty mat provided by Ann & Fred.
The only problem with this unit was having to leave ... we will return and this would ALWAYS be our first choice.
I have fallen in love with an island and a property ... thank you Ann & Fred.

We just arrived back from a week in paradise! It doesn't help that it's sleeting/snowing here in VA, but at least we have our memories of the sun and sand...

The Queen Ann Suite at RWI is just as the pictures show, if not better. It was very clean when we arrived and the maid came again on Wed. My husband and I both thought the bed was one of the most comfortable we've ever slept on. The location was good, with easy access to the beach and pools. I was worried about a lack of privacy being on the first floor, but we spent most nights sitting on the patio and it was never a problem. Very few people walked by unless they were in the condo directly in front of ours. The grounds at RWI are gorgeous and very well maintained and the staff at the front desk and beach were friendly and helpful. The owners sent us detailed instructions before we left home and included a lot of recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Turks & Caicos is a beautiful island, Fred & Ann couldn't have been easier to work with, and I know you won't ever regret staying in their lovely condo.

Some of our recommendations for restaurants are Coco Bistro (but make reservations before you leave home to ensure a reservation before 9:00 at night), Mango Reef, The Beach House, and Magnolias (get the tuna!) Las Brisas was also good for lunch if you travel to Chalk Sound (which I also highly recommend that you do!) There are a lot of places you can get lunch on the beach at Grace Bay within walking distance to RWI so that made it very convenient.

We took a 1/2 day snorkel excursion with Island Vibes and that was a lot of fun. They picked us up on the beach right in front of RWI. We also used the snorkel equipment provided to go to Coral Gardens. We only rented a car for one day because we walked or took taxis most places, but I'd definitely recommend getting out to see the surrounding areas.

Overall, I'd say this was one of our favorite vacation spots. Ann and Fred, thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place to stay at such a reasonable price! We hope to be back someday!

We had a great stay for our first Christmas away from snow. A superb beach with a sandy bottom. Condo is one of the best sites in the complex. Extremely comfortable with everything you need. Easy walk to town, but a car is fun for exploring. Highly recommend this condo. Very fun and relaxing. The complex was full for the holiday, but it was very quiet. Plenty of sleep.

The Queen Ann Suite is a first class condo! Absolutely everything we needed for our "home away from home." We are not the type to eat out every day, so this was the perfect match for us. Michel greeted us on arrival and showed us everything we needed to know. Housekeeping did a spectacular job on the twice a week cleaning (Wed and Sat) and everyone else at RWI were very pleasant and helpful. The grounds are lush and tropical, so much so you don't realize your at a condo complex. And the Beach! Always a chair and umbrella waiting for you next to the inviting turquoise sea. All this and the best ocean-side prices in Provo make this a deal you can't pass up.
