Grand Turk & Caicos

In February 2006 the Carnival Cruise Centre opened its doors in Grand Turk. This village type setting has now been completed to include the new Margarita-ville. The concept reflected by Margarita-ville Grand Turk is indicative of the kind of lyrics that Jimmy Buffett sings about. The island itself, Grand Turk, is the capitol of the Turks and Caicos Islands, which is significantly derived from historical connections with Bermuda.  The newest addition to the Jimmy Buffett family, and the first Caribbean project outside Jamaica has been built in Grand Turk. Just minutes from the port in Grand Turk you come upon the newly built village. The colorful centre offers direct beach access, boasting crystal clear blue waters and mini spa services, with duty free shopping. Take in the beautiful view of the magnificent swimming pools and ocean. But there's still a place for those who want to slow the pace of life.  Come see for yourself. We know your experience on this beautiful island will be nothing short of grand.
