Peace, privacy and comfort in a beautiful unspoilt setting, that's the Meridian Club on Pine Cay TCI. No cars, or TV, just wonderful beaches, a massive room on the beach, lying in bed at night listening the sea, amazing staff and food so good it pleased a difficult and demanding gourmet husband. If you want the Caribbean as it used to be then this is the place for you. |

“absurdly gorgeous beach”
Posted on Tripadvisor by MadlyHB, San Diego, CA.

I've always dreamed of a tropical paradise where I could walk for hours on a perfect beach and never be afraid. A woman alone can walk for two full miles and not a see a living soul - this is simply the most astonishing gift I have ever experienced. The water is warm and clear - gorgeous……. your own deserted island with full service - this is the spot. I hope to be going back every year until I am too decrepit to get on a plane. When life gets too hectic sometimes i look up at my pictures of that absurdly gorgeous beach and take a deep breath so happy I know it is there.

“We are experienced travelers who have seen a lot of nice resorts and beaches but after 1 week at the Meridian Club this May I have to say it is amongst the nicest places I have ever seen. It's not just the perfect beach but the whole resort concept and its people that make it exceptional in a lot of ways……”

| “naturally beautiful, simple and unspoiled” Posted on Tripadvisor by sffamily52, San Francisco
June 3, 2009, |
“Pine Cay was everything we had hoped it would be. The beach and the water are lovely beyond words…..The rooms are large and comfortable and open right onto the sand, just a stone’s throw from the water…..I cannot say enough good things about the Meridian Club or its beautiful island, wonderful staff, friendly guests and members and …its food. (Make sure you bring your hollow leg, because the food is so delicious and the desserts are truly irresistible.) It is hard to find a place nowadays that has remained as naturally beautiful, simple and unspoiled as this island…..” |

| “perfect blend of simplicity and millions of details" Posted on Tripadvisor by triwlLA, Los Angeles
May 29, 2009 |
“Our honeymoon at The Meridian Club was a perfect blend of simplicity and millions of details…..The rooms are airy, fresh and roomy with a bathroom, dressing room, bedroom, small sitting area, screened-in porch, outside porch, outside shower, and private tiki on the beach. The pictures do not do the rooms and this resort justice. I was a little concerned that this would be "rustic" for a honeymoon.... I was totally wrong. We were greeted with fresh flowers, crisp white towels, and immaculate service every day when we left for breakfast, and again at night, when we returned from dinner to find our bed neatly turned down…..The staff and general feeling of this place somehow manage to make one feel as if you are family, while at the same time, being treated like royalty……If you are self-directed travelers, you have met your Mecca. There are activities abounding, yet you are left to your own devices to decide what and when…..I cannot say enough good things about the Meridian Club. If you are looking for TRULY getting away, this is the place for you.” |

| “ better than ever”
Andrew Harper Member
Jan. 2009 |
"We returned (Jan, 2009) recently from our eighth stay in the last 14 years, after a three-year interval. The Meridian Club is better than ever. . . Returned managers Bev and Wally Plachta really know how to run a quiet, luxury resort. The rooms have been renovated/freshened very nicely, and the bedding raised to premium levels. The executive chef and the pastry chef (both from Vermont) are brilliant, with an eye on health as well. (Well, the unbelievably attractive desserts may be hazardous to your health.) The food quality has risen from "excellent" to "first-rate". The enclosed Internet room is a good compromise between isolation and peace, with a respectable connection speed. Cell phone use in public is still blessedly prohibited . . . ”

“Unbelievable meals included in the price”

“Just returned from a great Caribbean vacation at The Meridian Club on Pine Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Great tiny resort with 13 beachfront 'cottages' on a 2mi gorgeous glistening white beach with incredibly blue water….. Fabulous service. Unbelievable meals included in the rate. Breakfast and lunch are always eaten at tables under thatch umbrellas on the patio…..Went snorkeling every day on their specially designed snorkel boat. Nothing to do in the evenings after dinner except stroll down the 2mi beach under the moon & stars. Bicycles, kayaks, hobie cats, great fishing, hiking, and tennis. Thatch umbrellas and lounge chairs on the beach for every cottage. Boats & guides for bone and sport fishing. Boat trips to deserted beaches and iguana nature preserve on close by private cays.,,,, 20min boat ride and a world away from the hustle and bustle of Grace Bay Beach at Providenciales..,,”

Hi, Avianne:
Kurt and I sure did love our beautiful escape from reality at Meridian Club earlier this month! We talk about our visit -- and all of you -- more often than you'll ever know. I thought you & Beverly & Wally might enjoy some of the pictures in our online album.

" We appreciated the intrinsic "greenness" of your resort . . ."
Brad and Charlotte
Columbus, Ohio
August 2008 |
I was just thinking of our wonderful time at the Meridian Club a few short months ago. The slower, healing pace, the gentle sea breezes, the pristine white sand beach.........And as vegetarians, we were thrilled with the food - incredible vegetarian fare your amazing kitchen staff went out of their way to prepare for us during our stay. Unbelievable! We also appreciated the intrinsic "greenness" of your resort and the efforts towards development of additional sustainable energy and natural resource practices as well.
Please tell all your wonderful staff thank you for us and we look forward to our return!

"traveling the Caribbean for the past 17 years"
Dean of Vermont
March 2008 |
"My wife Heather and I have been traveling throughout the Caribbean for the past 17 years. Our rule was to not stay at the same resort for back to back to back visits. Let’s just say we are heading back to Pine Cay for the 4th consecutive year."

“The beach continues to be the best in the Caribbean.”
Harold of Sherborn, Mass.
January, 2008
|
"I have been going to The Meridian Club for a bit over twenty years and have basically loved it each time I was there. Three years ago there was a change in the management of the Club and things went down hill quite a bit. It was still better than a lot of places, but not like it had been. I went back in December as I had heard that Bev and Wally had been rehired to manage the property.
That was a very smart move on the Club’s part. They had been there a number of years, left three years ago, and it is wonderful they have returned ……… The food was the best I have ever had there. Bev has had the rooms completely done over and they are very refreshing and sparkling. She has a magic touch and it shows everywhere. The new gift shop in the lobby is wonderful ………
Wesley and the long time staff are still firmly ensconced and they of course remember everyone. The beach continues to be the best in the Caribbean. The Club has five new power boats for the various activities ……......
Bev and Wally have brought new attention to everything and I think the Club has never been better than it is today……"

" That exceptional island"
Honeymoon couple, France
December 2007 |
“Bon jour from Europe!
We enjoyed a lot our treat in paradise and will come back – for sure – to enjoy a new one, maybe with children. All the people we met were exceptional, the MC staff too. Thank you for everything!!! You really succeeded to make us relax; we already miss Pine Cay. It would not be easy to explain our friends and family what we enjoyed!
Take care, enjoy the paradise and please keep safe that exceptional island on Earth.”

"wonderful atmosphere"
From Scott and Diane
December 2007 |
“To return and find so many smiling faces and positive changes was a joy. The money and effort to accomplish those results were obvious. The homeowners, you and the staff are to be commended for returning Pine Cay to preeminence. It was a wonderful atmosphere this November.”

"a truly unique and exceptionally well run operation"
Paul from Illinois
December 2007 |
“As you can tell, Pine Cay and the Club have become very special to Polly and me. It is a truly unique and exceptionally well run operation, faithful to the premise of an island experience unaltered by the heavy footprint of the hospitality industry. As you know, such places are dwindling.”

“practically in tears [to be] leaving”
guests from neighboring island of Providenciales
November 2007 |
“You have a wonderful staff out there …. Everybody just made the whole experience so enjoyable.
I have to tell you that the other people on the boat with us, particularly the honeymoon couple, were practically in tears because they were leaving and spoke very highly of you and your husband – you guys certainly know how to take care of your guests.
Again, thanks so much – the place looks great … all your hard work really paid off.”
