Had an enjoyable stay at sailrock The staff are generally excellent, especially the guys at the beach/ the cove beach bar/restaurant where nothing is too much trouble We came from UK and only saw one other lots of brits, most guests are from the US which is obviously a much shorter hop, whereas for the same flight time brits could go to maldives, thailand etc There is nowhere else to eat or drink locally, you need a taxi to go into town and they make that very very expensive, considering the distance. The bikes are not in great shape, so i wouldn't risk the 45 minute cycle into town. The resort is very expensive with the current exchange rate for brits, the menu price advertised then has 3 taxes/fees on top (so plus 10%, 12% & 9.25%) and then gratuity on top of that. It was a good way of cutting down our alcohol intake The Caicos bank side of resort (the cove) has lovely fine sandy beach and turquoise water and is super shallow, however it also has small jelly fish sitting on the bottom as you walk in and a few people got a light sting (nothing bad), the bigger issue for me is the bottom is full of mud and the occasional big rock to stub your toe on. I wore sea shoes quite often to avoid this. Its also very shallow, so to get your shoulders under you need to sit down. Its not great for snorkelling as no reef. The hobbie cat was great fun, albeit they only had one sail, so only one hobbie was working. I didn't wear a life jacket because water appeared to be 3 foot deep max. They also have kayaks and SUP, but beware of the offshore wind- it makes it a lot harder coming back, but you could always jump off 500 feet out and walk back- its that shallow The Atlantic side beach Hardly anyone goes this side, but we enjoyed long walks up the 2 miles beach every day. When we arrived other guests warned us about the rubbish, but it was was worse than we could have imagined, it washes up every day from the Atlantic. Being someone who cant sit still i decided to clean the beach myself (all 2 miles of it) and put it into big piles for the staff to collect, after quite a lot of prompting and reminding they finally did collect it all on my last day. Its not their rubbish it washes in from the sea, most appeared to be off fishing boats and mainly plastic, but i still felt as the only resort on that beach they should at least regularly clean the rubbish, they clean the seaweed daily so why not the rubbish I hope everyone appreciates a few useful tips above and i hope you too enjoy your stay at sailrock like we did In conclusion for us 10 days was too much in one place (maybe that's just us) there are only so many items on the menu, the do make some changes to dinner menu but not breakfast and lunch
