Osprey Beach Hotel

Strengths: Location, location, location! The beach and sunset views cannot be beat. Dive boats (or snorkeling) pick up at the hotel, you can also snorkel from the beach - the further out you can go, the better reef conditions get, and the wall is within reach as well for stronger swimmers. The Duke Street neighborhood offered access to several bars and restaurants, and walking distance to a bank (bring more cash!), grocery store, and pharmacy. The staff are all friendly and helpful. We didn’t need to activate our phones for international plans because the office helped us call taxis as needed, and get a golf cart rental for 1 day to explore the island. We liked our ground floor beach front room for the ease of access to walk in/out directly to the beach. If you prefer the view to access, ask for a room on the upper floor. Note: The 5-star rating for the hotel does not imply that it is a luxury hotel - but you get solid value for the price of the room. Some of the downsides: the beds squeaked a bit, there were biting bugs, and some local (friendly) dogs that roamed the area and would occasionally bark (day and night). But keep in mind that all of these downsides are just minor irritations for us compared to the strengths listed above.

Just returned from my first visit to Grand Turk Island and I slipped up on the perfect place to stay after a VRBO disaster. Lucky for us it had the perfect location for us divers directly across the street from the island's best dive operation, Blue Water Divers. Nicely appointed all beachfront rooms and a great Bar/Restaurant. The Owner Jenny, and her excellent staff were all very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

Everyone is so helpful and friendly - and the beach is beautiful. We really enjoyed our Stay.

Best place to stay on Grand Turk. Office staff was friendly and allowed for our early check in. Restaurant provided wonderful service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bar staff did a great job with drinks and made us feel at home. Also, easy to get a cab when needed.

Great stay at the Osprey. Our room was on the south end of the hotel, next to the office. It was very comfortable, with large bed, mini fridge and a patio over looking a gorgeous calm beach. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Only compliant really was that the ceiling fan squeaked which became quite annoying at night. So we rigged a solution, balancing items tied to the chain to weigh it down just enough to stop the squeak. Comical but it worked. We had a great time and would stay here again. Trip highlights: the small plane you must take to get to Grand Turk, gorgeous beaches, lovely Islanders, friendly donkeys that roam the island, cracked conch, rum punch.

Absolutely love the Osprey! It's our favorite place to stay anytime we visit Grand Turk. The staff are so helpful and nice and the rooms overlook the beach. You can't beat having th sounds of waves lull you to sleep at night.

Staff was very friendly. Wanda at the bar was especially nice and friendly. Owner Jenny was very happy to help with any special need.

Great on site restaurant Enjoyed shrimp Alfredo for dinner and pancakes for breakfast. nice ocean views Room on second floor was very nice, glad not to have to worry about stray dogs on patio. Bar closed at ten so the noise level went down. Snorkeling off the beach was marginal. Not much to see. Very little shade. Beach chairs provided but no beach umbrellas. Great little hotel. We were only there for one night, awaiting a whale trip that got cancelled. I would return.

Location is right on the beach. All rooms have patios/balconies with beach view just a few steps away.
