Erebus Inn. Built in the early 1960s, before the tourist boom began, this is Provo s veteran inn. It looks down on Turtle Cove from its location on the cliffs. It only has 25 guest rooms, all of which have been renovated several times in an effort to stay up with the big boys on Grace Bay. The air-conditioned guest rooms are decorated in pastel colors, the furnishings are comfortable. Some of the units are small cottages apart from the main building. There are two pools, a restaurant, bar, two tennis courts, a dive shop, and a health club. It s a cozy little inn and, if you can live with the lack of glitz and newness found in most other hotels on the bay, I think you ll find it a pleasant experience; it s cheap, too. PO Box 238, Turtle Cove, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, BWI, 649-946-4240, www.miramarresort.tc. EP from $100.
The islands have vast expanses of calm, clear open water, safe bays and inlets, and numerous convenient anchorages and marinas that offer everything from a quick lunch and a glass of cold beer to chilled champagne and a gourmet lobster dinner. All sizes of sailboats are available, with or without crew.
If it s real adventure that you re looking for, consider a sea kayaking expedition in the Exumas. You can look forward camping recipes to long hot days paddling the open waters between the islands of the chain, balmy nights under canvas, good food,
