The Turks and Caicos Weekly News named Robert Hall the ‘Person of the Year’ for 2010 and Beverly Williams, Manager of Point Grace said it was their honour to host Mr. and Mrs. Hall at their Grace Bay located property.
Mr. Hall, who flew in from Grand Turk, compliments of Air Turks and Caicos and Magnetic Media said it was an incredible experience.
“This is a beautiful facility, and I have had a tremendous time here. The management and staff have been just great,” said Hall on the day of his departure.
Point Grace also ensured the couple was able to dine at Grace’s Cottage where Chef Vincent Poieevin and his cooking staff, prepared a meal which was all the rave.
“The food was absolutely fabulous; and it was not only for the food itself, I loved the ambience of the restaurant; it was just romantic.”
Point Grace wanted to treat Mr. Hall, who on Monday February 7, 2011 also broadcast his Expressions talk show live from his suite, to the weekend to demonstrate to residents that Point Grace is not off limits and welcomes residents for dining, spa treatments or resort stays.
Mr. Hall, who once worked at the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board, believes the Turks and Caicos offers a most unique tourism product.
“Although we have a mixed tourism product, Providenciales has been primarily the upper end and that has bode well for The Turks and Caicos.”
As for what he thought of his three bedroom, top floor suite, complete with ocean views from three rooms; Hall said it was breathtaking.
“The rooms, everything is great. I can see why it has been repeatedly been winning several awards. There were so many things which my wife and I have enjoyed. For one thing the hotel could not have been situated on a better stretch of beach, Grace Bay Beach. The ocean view is splendid, day and night. In the mornings looking out, as many of the sports activities and boats get out there, there are people walking or jogging the beach and then in the evening, the lights along the shore – magnificent.”
Robert Hall was also thankful for being considered and named Person of the Year 2010 and had gracious remarks for the Weekly News.
“Gemma Handy wrote a beautiful article, to the point where I had to say, ‘is that Robert Hall she’s writing about?’ she spent some time with me on my show in Grand Turk.”
Mrs. Maria Hall said the weekend was just lovely and explained that she was and is proud of her husband’s accomplishment.
Robert Hall lightheartedly added: “When they broached the subject with me, I was really, really pleasantly surprised because I don’t work for accolades though a good salary would be nice. In fact when I started the programme, I wasn’t even being paid because it is about providing a service to the people at a critical time. More seriously though, it is sure nice to know that members of the public do appreciate the efforts I have been making and so I am indeed thankful to Blythe Duncanson and his readers for their selection of me.”
Point Grace also provided chauffeured service in their classic white, London Cab.
