<div>I was nervous before we arrived &#8211; it all seemed to good to be true, an intimate small hotel with a gorgeous restaurant, comfortable rooms and directly on a pristine stretch of white sand and blue water, for only $99 a night. When we arrived, my fears were put to rest. The Sibonné is exactly how it looks in pictures (on the website).&#8217;</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">TripAdvisor, Feb 2004</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #808000;">Book early &#8211; you won&#8217;t find better hotel discounts than the Value Rooms at Sibonné!</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #808000;"><br />
</span></strong></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Sibonné Value Rooms &#8211; Hotel Discounts all Year!</strong></div>
<div>If you are the type of traveler who is always looking for the best &#8216;deal&#8217; for your Caribbean vacation and are tired of searching the internet looking for hotel discounts that aren&#8217;t all that special &#8211; look no further!</div>
<div>We have a few rooms that we&#8217;re offering at special discounts to fill some great rooms that usually stay empty!   There are only a two of these rooms in the hotel &#8211; and they are often booked well in advance by returning guests.</div>
<div><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="value-160" src="http://sibonne.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/value-160.jpg" alt="value-160" width="160" height="160" />Like all of our rooms, the value rooms have air conditioning, ceiling fan, cable TV with CNN, CNBC and major networks, mini-fridge, ice bucket, coffee-maker, direct-dial phones with data port, in-room safe, hair dryer and clock.  The big difference with these rooms is that they are entered directly from the courtyard and don&#8217;t have a sitting area just outside the door &#8211; so there is a little less privacy than other courtyard rooms.</div>
<div>Rather than leaving these rooms empty, or only using them when we&#8217;re full &#8211; we&#8217;ve decided to let you enjoy hotel discounts throughout the year.  The rooms have  double/twin beds (without headboards) or one queen-sized bed.  They are adjoining rooms &#8211; so they are great for families that want to take both rooms and use the connecting door between the rooms!</div>
<div>If you enjoy spending your time on the beach and don&#8217;t plan to spend a lot of time in your room, these rooms are the best hotel value in the Turks &amp; Caicos Islands and perhaps all of the Caribbean!</div>
<div>These low rates are not mistakes! Our value rooms are among the best hotel discounts in the Turks &amp; Caicos Islands!  No need to wait for &#8216;last minute&#8217; deals!</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">The perfect Caribbean Wedding at Sibonné Beach on Grace Bay!</h3>
<blockquote><p><em>From Destination Weddings &amp; Honeymoons:</em><br />
Turks and Caicos: Providenciales&#8217; Grace Bay Beach is widely considered one of the Caribbean&#8217;s finest, with 12 miles of powder-soft sand backed by translucent waters. The charming, two-story Sibonne sits right in the center of it, featuring 30 rooms and a separate one-bedroom apartment just 30 steps from the sand. Why can you get so close? The hotel was the first built on the beach, long before the influx of high-end hotels hit the island. Say your vows on the sand, dressed up with a conch-shell-lined aisle and a floral arch. Then move to the wide wooden deck of the ocean-facing Bay Bistro for a feast of grilled lobster, barbecue chicken and smoked conch chowder, the house specialty.</p>

<blockquote><p><em>From Bridal Guide:<br />
</em>Before the Turks and Caicos developed into a luxury beach destination, there was just one tiny, quaint motel on beautiful Grace Bay Beach. It’s still there today, and it’s as cute as ever. A two-story, pale-pink, West-Indies-style property with traditional shuttered windows and fretted balconies, Sibonné doesn’t have a spa or fancy amenities. But it does sit on prime real estate, and has a lovely open-air, beachfront bistro with a white timberwork ceiling, a small pool set in a pretty courtyard, and 28 comfortable rooms.</p>

<div>If you want to enjoy the advantages of a condominium but the intimacy of our small Caribbean hotel &#8211; the &#8216;Beach Apartment&#8217; at Sibonné Beach Hotel may be for you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-113" title="watersports8-391" src="http://sibonne.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/watersports8-391.jpg" alt="watersports8-391" width="391" height="200" />Water sports are often the reason guests come to the Turks &amp; Caicos Islands. World-class scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, windsurfing, para-sailing and more are just minutes away. Boat rentals or charters as well as deep sea fishing, bone fishing or bottom fishing trips can be easily arranged.</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Annual Fools Regatta:</span></strong> Originally held on April Fool&#8217;s day &#8211; this annual event is now held in late June or early July &#8211; on the beach just to the west of Sibonné. With boats representing every island in the Turks &amp; Caicos, the regatta features nine locally built sloops as well as a Hobbie 13 Competition, Home Made Raft Race, Tug of War, Sand Castle Building, local music and food.</div>
<div>Sailing: Whether you want to captain your own boat, join a group excursion or charter a private romantic sailing &#8211; everyone who visits the Turks &amp; Caicos Islands should spend some time exploring by sea.  Visit Little Water Cay, Parrot Cay, North Caicos, Middle Caicos or explore Chalk Sound National Park.</div>
<div><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Kayaking:</strong></span> Sea Kayaks are once of the best ways to explore the mangroves and discover nature at its best!</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">SCUBA Diving:</span></strong> The Turks and Caicos Islands are surrounded by one of the most extensive coral reef systems worldwide (65 miles across and 200 miles long). Excellent visibility (up to 200 feet), pristine reefs, abundant tropical flora and fauna, fish and other marine life make Provo a world-class diving destination.</div>
<div>Diving is concentrated around Grace Bay and the Northwest Point here on Provo plus nearby West Caicos Island &#8211; your dive shop will advise of the best sites depending on time of year, sea conditions and experience levels. You may be lucky &amp; spot JoJo the dolphin who is a wild dolphin that loves to swim with divers just off-shore. The Turks &amp; Caicos dive sites are almost always listed amond the &#8217;10 best&#8217; in the world &#8211; so you&#8217;re sure to see some of the most exciting marine life in the Caribbean.</div>
<div>Sibonné has great accommodations for divers &#8211; no matter which dive shop you choose from the list below.  Provo Turtle Divers and Dive Provo will pick you up and drive you to the dive boat.  When the weather is good &#8211; Ocean Vibes will pick you up right on Grace Bay Beach in front of Sibonné Beach Hotel so you&#8217;re on the dive boat as soon as possible!  All dive shops provide snacks or lunch on board the boat &#8211; check with each dive shop for details!</div>
<div><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Para Sailing: </strong></span>Fly high above Grace Bay Beach.  Climb as high as 500 feet and enjoy the spectacular view while being towed by a powerboat.  For those less adventurous folks who just want to watch &#8211; our Grace Bay Bistro (where this photo was taken) is a great place to sit and watch all the action!</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Snorkeling:</span></strong> One of the best snorkeling areas is to the left of our Sibonné Beach is the area known as &#8216;The Bight&#8217;.  Just past Beaches Resort is The Bight Snorkeling Trail marked by two marker buoys. There are 11 underwater trail signs that describe the coral formations and fish such as yellow-tailed snappers, mojarras and jolthead porgies. Water ranges from one to five meters (3-15 feet). Many of the dive shops and water sports companies also have snorkel trips to Chalk Sound can various Cays around Provo.</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Banana Rides: </span></strong>Jump up on the giant inflated &#8216;banana&#8217; boat and hang on tight as you get the ride of your life as you&#8217;re pulled by a powerboat along Grace Bay.</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Wind Surfing: </span></strong> The clear and tranquil waters of Grace Bay are great if you&#8217;re just learning &#8211; or experienced wind surfers to perfect their techniques. Most of the surfing shops are down the beach near the Ocean Club, but as you can see &#8211; in the photo at left you can easily find yourself back in front of Sibonné Beach Hotel as you windsurf along Grace Bay Beach.</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Swimming:</span></strong> The beach at Sibonné is one of the best beaches for swimming on Grace Bay.  There are lounge chairs and several &#8216;Tiki Huts&#8217; for your enjoyment. Beach towels are available in the office. There are no lifeguards on the beach &#8211; so make sure that any children are carefully supervised. Drinks are available from Junior and the staff in the bar and you can order a picnic lunch or snacks at the Grace Bay Bistro!</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Boating &amp; Sailing:</span></strong> A wide variety of sail and power boats are available for charter with or without a captain. Check the listings for details.</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Fishing: </span></strong>Sport fishing for bone fishing, bottom and deep sea fishing are all popular and Provo is often mentioned as one of the best destinations for fishing in the world! See our separate section on sport fishing charters.</div>
<div><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Water Skiing/Jet Skis/Wave Runners: </span></strong>Available for rental if you want to see Provo from the &#8216;fast lane&#8217;.  These activities are not allowed in many areas such as the Princess Alexandra National Park which includes Grace Bay Beach.</div>

<div style="padding-left: 60px;"><span style="color: #333300;">NOTE: Since dive package rates can vary depending on dates, combination of divers/non-divers and how many dives you plan &#8211; we suggest that you book your room at Sibonné Beach Hotel and then contact Dive Shops directly for the dive portion of the package.  We work with all dive shops on Provo and the dive shop will work with us to adjust your reservation based on the final package if necessary so you don&#8217;t have a double booking.</span></div>
<h3><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-405 alignleft" title="thmpppatch" src="http://sibonne.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/thmpppatch.gif" alt="thmpppatch" width="161" height="122" />Dive Provo:</strong></h3>

Dive Provo customer surveys continually rank our staff as &#8220;Number One&#8221; in reasons why they would return.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 60px;">Dive Provo has the most comprehensive dive schedule on island. We dive 5 areas, with each area having a number of interesting and beautiful sites. Where we dive on any given day is dependant upon where divers have already been and where they want to go. We try to rotate everyone around the various areas as each is unique and beautiful in it&#8217;s own way.</div>

<div>No one has ever requested a refund!</div>
<div>An added benefit at Ocean Vibes is their &#8216;beach pick-up&#8217; service where they will meet you on the beach right on Grace Bay Beach in front of Sibonné Beach Hotel &#8211; rather than driving to the dive boat!</div>

<h3><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Relaxation is our specialty here at Sibonné Beach Hotel.  Since we&#8217;re a small intimate hotel, we don&#8217;t have our own spa here at the hotel.  However, there are spas at all of the large luxury resort hotels on either side of us &#8211; just a short walk down the beach.  There are also major spa facilities, day-spas and beauty salons at other resorts and we can help you make arrangements.</span></h3>
<div>With the great value rates here at Sibonné, you&#8217;ll be able to spend the money you save by pampering yourself at a spa!</div>
<div>But relaxation is more than just papering yourself at a spa.  If you&#8217;d like to enjoy art and handicrafts while on vacation, there are also several art galleries on Provo including a Cultural Center at our sister hotel, Turtle Cove Inn.  Also, make sure you stop and see Marilyn on the beach between Sibonné and The Sands.  She sells a variety of handicrafts and primitive artworks made by her son Elio.</div>
