8Mbps highspeed internet only at The West Bay Club resort
In suite internet and complimentary wireless are common amenities that most modern resorts offer. However the download speed separates the modern from the ultra modern.
The West Bay Club recently upgraded to 8Mbps broadband and it became the only resort in Turks and Caicos to benefit of such fast service. 8Mbps Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) connections offer the user a faster, more reliable broadband connection. Using new technology, the service will automatically provide an incredible 160 times faster than a standard dial-up connection and up to 4x faster than 2Mb most common on the island!
The main benefit of a faster broadband is the ability of the connection to maintain greater quality and reliability when running multiple tasks simultaneously such as music and video-streaming, large file download, video-conferencing or sending large email attachments.
‘Thanks to our friends at Lime, the Caribbean’s largest telecommunications company, The West Bay Club is able to offer this superior service to our guests that expect high speed communication and fast download time’ said Dane Underwood managing Director of The West Bay Club.

On Friday the wedding guests enjoyed a fishing trip with Captain Shawn from Silver Deep and in the evening, the bride and groom hosted the rehearsal dinner beach luau. On the menu; traditional roasted pig, fish, plenty drinks, music and a bone fire to light the night away.

Christina’s bridal party included her younger sister and the groom’s two daughters. The bride’s father walked her down the sandy aisle on a love song preselected by the bride and the groom. The beach ceremony was very romantic and followed by champagne toast and appetizers served on The West Bay Club lawn.

It’s time to go fly a kite!!!
We all know its spring here in TCI when the annual kite contest comes around. April 25th is the big day and The West Bay Club will be ready to compete. Our own James “Billy” Been ( WBC Engineering Manager) has handcrafted a special “H” version kite from all local materials and assembled by hand. Billy is a local native of beautiful Salt Cay where he has mastered the art of kite building taught by generations of islanders. Billy has been building alphabet kites for nearly 40 years and our entry to the kite competition will surely be competitive. We will let you know how we faired in the completion shortly.

My husband I stayed at your absolutely amazing hotel for our honeymoon in October. It\’s almost impossible to put into words how absolutely beautiful everything was. The room was immaculate with modern amenities, the staff was so accomodating and friendly and the pool and grounds were breathtaking. We were so sad when our week came to an end. We hope to return very soon!! Thanks for making our honeymoon so very special!
~Nicole~
We were so pleasantly surprised by the luxurious accomodations that we said we\’d be happy to hang out in the condominium even if it rained everyday. Everything about the stay was exceptional and we recommended it to relatives who visited shortly after we did and they had the very same experience. Easy to get to and sand that feels like powder.
~Ahndrew~
We absolutely loved our stay at your resort! The 2 bedroom luxury condo was so perfect for our family. All the amenities are fabulous. We will definitely be returning and are telling our friends, one group which may book book for April after our rave reviews to them. The staff were so friendly and accomodating and the rooms immaculate.
~Ellen~
THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED MY FIRST VISIT IN JANUARY, AND HAVE ALREADY BOOKED FOR NEXT JANUARY. THE UNIT WAS TERRIFIC AND THE STAFF WAS GREAT. YOU HAVE A GREAT RESORT. I WILL RECOMMEND THAT MY FRIENDS COME.
~Neal~
The West Bay Club was perfect for our family. We have 4 young children and felt so welcomed by all your staff. You set us up with fabulous babysitters, the breakfasts were lovely and the beach was incredible. The rooms are just as beautiful in person.Compared to other resorts we visited on the island, The West Bay Club was very laid back and not at all pretentious. We can\’t wait to return!
~Gabriella~
We had a wonderful time on our recent vicit to West Bay Club. This was our 6th visit and we plan to return many times. Dane and Roxanna are the perfect hosts and they and the whole staff go out of their way to meet every request and assure you have a great vacation. the units are beautiful with full kitchens, comfortable furniture and a large ocean front deck. The gym and spa on site are convenient. the beach is the best and it\’s nice to be on this side of the island. The beaches are wider, the snorkelling is a five minute walk either way on the beach and the grocery store is close. We have been vacationing on Providenciales for 15 years and West Bay Club is the best new property there by far.
