The Somerset on Grace Bay

This was our second trip to the Somerset in 10 months, and this time we brought our son, who loved it as much as we did. We absolutely love the resort, as well as the island. The resort is beautiful, and Grace Bay is possibly the nicest beach we've ever seen. The water was crystal clear, warm but not too warm, and the sand is white, soft, and not hot. The resort is very comfortable, and the staff treats you like family. We went parasailing, scuba diving, and ate at great restaurants. Somerset has become our home away from home, and we can't wait to go back!

We had an amazing stay with 2 other couples at the Somerset in December! The resort is gorgeous, right on Grace Bay with a large beach & 2 beautiful pools. The boutique size is perfect, not too big or crowded but has great resort amenities. We loved our beautifully decorated and appointed townhome. It was spacious & private, just perfect for 3 couples and would be great for families too. The staff was warm & attentive, catering to all our needs. The resort is conveniently located close to many great restaurants and an easy taxi drive from the airport. We loved our stay at the Somerset and will definitely be back!

The Somerset is truly paradise. From the beautiful accommodations (we stayed in Residence 5), to the lovely grounds, pools, beach, sailing and other amenities, The Somerset continues to exceed expectations. It's the perfect place to rest, relax and have some fun.

We booked a 2-bedroom Ocean room and were shocked and utterly disappointed to see our room. It was completely outdated and stains on furniture, old yucky blinds. The pull out couch mattress was horrible, too! A fridge in the second room was left open by maintenance and reeked of dirty socks and old wet laundry. We traveled as a family of 4 (2 kids 2 adults) plus brought our nanny. We traveled during peak spring break so of course no other rooms were available. We spent $13k for just the room, and, despite T&C being a pricey island in itself, I feel like anything would have been better than this place! The staff were so rude. No one cared to help or get to know you/your family. I felt I needed to apologize any time I had to ask the beach/pool employees a question because I felt like a burden interrupting their chats. They seem to cater to what must be timeshare or condo owners on property who are repeat guests. One positive was housekeeping staff - they were kind and did a good job. The pool restaurant/ food on property was a joke too. The breakfast items that were actually good all cost extra which we happily paid for. Tea was always cold too. The small pool was cold but at least we weren’t expecting a big pool from the pics. I give it two stars simply because of the beach. It was the dreamiest, clean beach with a lot of privacy and a lot of space to play. You never fight for lounge chairs because this hotel is so small. I have traveled the world staying at 5-star properties in many countries and have never felt so duped before. I was literally embarrassed for having booked this place. We made our reservation a short 2-months prior to our visit, so the island was already very booked up. I would have preferred the next door property for sure - we ate and shopped there multiple times and were blown away by its sophistication. I haven’t written a TripAdvisor review since 2016 just because life happened (married, kids, work, etc) but we travel a few times a year and I felt compelled to share our experience to hopefully save another busy working mama from the disaster of booking this place. Please DM me anytime for specific questions I can help with. Unrelated - the airport is also a hot mess!! We paid express for the express option which was $1k for our group and had we not it would have been way worse with no AC and a baby!

Stayed in a 3 bedroom villa. Steps from the pool. Super short walk to beach. Villa was gorgeous. Housekeeping every day. Staff was super friendly. Only two places to eat at the resort but both had great food. Plenty of places to walk to. Have never seen water like Turks! Make sure to do a boat tour and see Iguana Island!

We stayed at the Somerset for 4 nights in May with our 16 year old and 19 year old. My husband and I had been there before back in 2010 so it had been awhile. It was a fantastic trip and the people at the Somerset really make it special. We arrived to a rainy afternoon but made the best of it. The next morning we noticed the air conditioner was not working which was not good. It was pouring down rain so when maintenance came, he said he wouldn’t be able to fix it. He was super nice. They moved us into the sterling house on the first floor with pool view and a little ocean. This is the room category I would choose if I go back. The garden views rooms are fine but it’s not that much more money to get a room in sterling house and totally worth it. I think a lot of the rooms in the garden view have a lot of steps and I prefer a one level. After the rains ended and we got settled into our new room, all was perfect. You really can’t beat this resort. We looked at ritz Carlton and Beaches and those are so nice but expensive and busy!!! The Somerset never felt super packed and busy which is what we were looking for. Lots of growth happening on Providenciales. So much change since 2010. I sure hope it doesn’t lose that small island feel. Highly recommend the Somerset!
