Avis Out Island Adventure For Families Wanting To Get Away From It All

We had some difficulties due to the absence of a contact person on site but luckily in the end, thanks to the kindness of MIlena, we were able to solve every little problem that arose. The house is immersed in nowhere with the first market or restaurant at 30km. On the other hand, during the day an expanse of white sand was almost only for us while in the evening a sky shining with stars appeared to us. Bambarra is the best beach in Middle Caicos but you have to get there by car as the beach near the house is only useful for taking mouthfuls of iodine.

We stayed for three nights here on our trip in Middle Caicos. Accommodations were nice and house was very well furnished. Wi-Fi was available in the house. The property owner Milena was very quick to respond to any questions we had which was very helpful. There is a beach within 3 minute walk and Bambara beach is a 5minute drive away from the house. There are kayaks and SUPs available in the back yard. When we took these to Bambara we had to shove these in our compact car with the hatch open so a larger car would’ve made it easier. You have to go to North Caicos for groceries and fresh food is limited so be prepared. There is a liquor store in North Caicos also with good selection. Definitely a great house for those wanting to relax in middle Caicos.

very nice property, exactly what we had hoped for....

Bambara Beach is incredible. Mrs Melina and Ernest did everything they could to help w process and getting comfortable. The beach is better than advertised. The quiet is the real thing. Have enough time to do a proper shop. I would advise trying to get to Provo as early in day as possible- customs were real long- had to rush the shop to make last ferry. Bring everything- bc nearest shop is 30-40 min. Bring twice the water you think you need. The home is big, spacious, well equipped. Bugs can be an issue- bring the good stuff- locals use baby oil for the no-See-ums. This place is at the end of the road- a true adventure. I reflect those who had the vision and will to build here. It’s worth the trip.

We had an excellent stay at Royal Hideaway and we'll never forget our time on Middle Caicos. We stayed two weeks and were very comfortable in the townhome. The rooms and furnishings are nice, the bathrooms are great, and the kitchen/bar is pretty fancy. There were some appliance issues, but property manager Junior took care of everything without too much delay. We enjoyed the wifi and the TV with a large DVD library of fun films. The island is beautiful and relatively isolated. In two weeks, I think we explored most of what Middle Caicos has to offer, and a decent portion of North Caicos. Amazing beaches, and the water was amazingly warm. The snorkeling was pretty good - we saw all kinds of fish and a stingray. The fishing was solid - we caught snapper from the shore almost every day, and cooked up some barracuda after a boat trip with Capt D. We stayed busy and active the whole time, whether swimming, hiking, visiting caves, or taking trips out to the grocery stores and restaurants. We'll always remember this trip, and we'll compare all our future vacations to this one.

Royal Hideaway was everything we hoped it would be. The condo was very well equipped, plenty of kitchen gear, comfortable beds and furniture, lots of extra towels, pillows etc., good wifi. The property manager, Mr Forbes, is a lovely man, he is close by to deal with any issues that arise. Communication with Milena prior to our trip was excellent. And what a location! The beach near the condo (ie a 3 min walk) is beautiful and secluded, and there is very little traffic. Royal Hideaway is the best “get away from it all” place we have ever visited. Make sure you have a vehicle, exploring Middle and North Caicos is a must. Don’t be afraid of the unpaved roads, most rental cars will be fine, just take it easy on the rougher spots! Most of your shopping needs can be filled at the small grocery stores in Whitby and Bottle Creek, Whitby is a 30 min drive. Most stores and restaurants accept Visa or MC, but bring some cash as well, no ATMs on Middle or North! Good restaurants : Mudjin Bar and Grill, Miss B’s, My Dee, Silver Palm, and especially go see Howard and Cheryl at the Last Chance! Favourite beach spots : 3 Mary Cay, Mudjin, Bambarra, and the beach at the very southeast tip of Middle at the end of the Wild Cow Run road, I believe it’s called either Cedar Point or Cypress Point. Snorkelling is excellent on the many accessible reefs surrounding Middle and North, and you will have no trouble booking a fishing trip with a local guide, or just go fishing! Deep sea, reef bottom fishing for snapper and grouper, flats fishing for bonefish. All are excellent! Milena and Mr. Forbes, thanks for an amazing visit to a truly beautiful, unspoiled, tropical paradise!

My mom, my daughter and I stayed at the royal hideaway and we loved it! The place was beautifully and comfortably furnished. We do wish we had brought along a few more spices but otherwise it was exactly what we were hoping for. We used the kayaks and paddle board a couple days but the wind made them a little difficult to use. We still had fun! Found some awesome shells, saw a sea turtle and a sting ray swim right by, loved Mudjin Harbor and the dragon cay. Food at the Mudjin Bar and grill was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Middle was so quiet and we felt like we had the island to ourselves. We went back over to Provo on Thursday and went to the fish fry. Also an amazing experience. Can’t wait to come back!

I booked the property with thoughts of a quiet beachfront vacation in mind. The location is quiet, but not beachfront. You must cross a road and walk a bug ambush path to the beach. The townhouse is in need of severe updating and the island is VERY remote, as in we are the only people left on earth remote. The beach is phenomenal, however, with nice snorkeling and is certainly private. There are zero tourist amenities on the island, but the locals are very friendly. We left after 4 nights.

By the beach, well equipped kitchen... Very nice overall.

The place was great for our family of 6. Just a short pathway to get to the most beautiful beach. Had the beach to ourselves 90% of the time. Good snorkelling nearby in clear water was great for kids. Perfect weather with a nice breeze. We were picked up from airport by Mr. Charlie who took us to get groceries before the ferry ride, and then picked up by Mr Forbes to get to the house. Both were very helpful. This is the perfect spot to get away from all the crowds and tourist attractions if you just want to be on a beach relaxing. We would love to come back and would recommend it for anyone who wants rest and relaxation.
