Experience Turks and Caicos congratulates the Turks and Caicos Islands properties that are among the winners in the 2025 Forbes Star Awards.
Amanyara, Wymara Resort and Villas, and Seven Stars Resort were awarded Four-Star status, given to exceptional properties offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match. Como Parrot Cay, Grace Bay Club, and Somerset on Grace Bay were given a Recommended rating, which awards them for being excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.
The Forbes Star Awards is the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruise ships. The awards are determined following visits by incognito inspectors who pose as everyday guests. They test hundreds of exacting standards that emphasise exceptional service, which accounts for 70 percent of a property’s rating. The quality and condition of the facilities account for the remaining 30 percent. The inspectors also assess the intangibles that help guests to have an unforgettable experience.
Minister of Tourism, Hon. Zhavargo Jolly, congratulated the six properties, stating: “Turks and Caicos continues to set the bar for luxury travel, and these awards reaffirm our place among the best in the world. Congratulations to our winning properties and to the dedicated teams that made these achievements possible. Their commitment to excellence ensures that Turks and Caicos remains the premier destination for discerning travellers. With several new luxury resorts on the horizon, we are poised for even greater success, creating more opportunities for our people, enhancing visitor experiences, and strengthening our reputation as a leader in high-end hospitality.”
Mrs. Stacy Cox, CEO of the Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association (TCHTA) said: “The TCHTA is very proud of our properties and the consistently high standards they continue to uphold to make the Turks and Caicos a sought-after destination. Every year, our own Star Awards are dedicated to showcasing the excellence across the hospitality sector from the exceptional cuisine to the amazing service that puts us among the best in the world. Congratulations to the six properties and I look forward to seeing even more on that list in the future.”
In 2025, Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended awards honoured more than 2,000 properties in 85 countries.
