This post is in partnership with CheapCaribbean.com as I was a judge for their 2019 Noble Beach Prize. As always, all opinions are my own. Thank you for your continued support for Life in Wanderlust! I was all too thrilled to partner on this project and explore one of the many beautiful Turks & Caicos resorts.
Turks & Caicos was on my top 3 bucket list locations and honestly, I didn’t think I would make it there for a while – it was kind of a dream if you will. So when the opportunity came along thanks to CheapCaribbean, I quite literally jumped with joy (and maybe squealed a bit, too.)
I was invited as a guest to the Seven Stars Resort in Turks & Caicos. This property was the winner for the “Golden Pineapple” of the CheapCaribbean’s 2019 Noble Beach Prize! You can check out the winners for the 2019 Noble Beach Prize here and more beach-tastic posts on their blog here. I was fortunate to be selected as one of the judges for this contest for the 2nd year in a row! Last year, I visited the Zoetry Paraiso de la Riviera Maya in Mexico.
Rooms
We had the pleasure of staying in the Ocean Front Junior Suite which in one word, was absolutely stunning (ok, so that’s two words.) The suite was so spacious at 700 sq ft with 1 king bed, a kitchenette, a terrace, plenty of closet space, and a large bathroom area consisting of a double-sink, a luxurious tub, and a separate shower. For someone that’s constantly on my phone and/or laptop, the complimentary wi-fi in the room was strong, which is crucial for me.
If that isn’t enough for you, our suite was facing the ocean so we spent a lot of our time sitting on the terrace overlooking the shimmering, turquoise waters. Ahhh, take me back.
Dining
The dining options at Seven Stars are simple and I loved that. There’s a breakfast restaurant, an upscale restaurant for dinner and a more casual restaurant right on the beach. A couple things all three restaurants have in common? Stellar customer service and delightful cuisine.
Breakfast Buffet (located inside Seven) – The breakfast buffet is included in the room rate, which is wonderful! The breakfast buffet is located in Seven, which transforms into a beautiful breakfast buffet in the morning for guests. It’s not your typical continental buffet breakfast, oh no, it’s a huge selection of fresh fruits, hot dishes, charcuterie, baked items, and an omelet station to boot. I was so pleased the first morning, it was one of my highlights every day during our stay!
The Deck – The Deck is a casual, open-air dining space with a stunning view of Grace Bay. They’re open for both lunch and dinner, serving delicious ceviche and other local island-inspired fare.
Seven – Seven is an upscale, award-winning gourmet restaurant that serves dinner. Enjoy an exceptional culinary experience blending island spices, fresh local seafood, and an array of international flavors.
Private Dining – Looking for something exceptional? Opt for a private dining experience where you can choose to dine on the beach, by the beach, or in the privacy of your room.
Grounds
Beach – While the dining options and accommodations are impressive, the star of the show truly goes to the beach the resort is on: Grace Bay Beach. Grace Bay in Turks & Caicos has been voted ‘most beautiful beach in the world‘ countless times by endless publications of travel literature. At first, I was skeptical because I’m a beach lover and have traveled all over the world, experiencing beautiful beaches. But what do you know? Grace Bay Beach truly was the most beautiful beach I have ever been to. The sand was insanely fine and soft, the water was still, and the definition of ‘crystal clear.’ The picture in your mind of what you imagine when you think of the experience of Turks & Caicos resorts? That’s Grace Bay.
Seven Stars Resort does a wonderful job with the beach experience. The cabanas and sun-loungers are complimentary and the staff will set everything up for you upon arrival. Once the towels are laid, get ready for a day of lounging by the beach! Swim in the beautiful ocean, take a quick nap on your sun-lounger, and get drinks and food delivered to you! Truly the ultimate beach experience.
Pools – If you prefer a day by the pool, Seven Stars Resort has a spacious pool with complimentary loungers and cabanas as well. They even have a separate pool that’s adult-only, which is nice for people like us with no kids who appreciate some quiet.

Overall
A month later, I’m still oooh-ing and ahhh-ing from the photos I took and memories I’ve made at the Seven Stars Resort in Turks & Caicos (if you couldn’t tell from my Instagram feed). I had such a wonderful time and the only regret I have is that I didn’t stay longer. The staff provided us with exceptional service and friendship, the bed was heavenly, the cuisine was top-notch, and the beach helped me relax like no other beach has.
I highly recommend visiting Seven Stars Resort if you’re ever visiting one of the Turks & Caicos resorts. It’s a dreamy, island vacation spot or an ideal honeymoon destination! Make sure you visit CheapCaribbean for reviews, more information, and a secure way to book your stay.
