PROVO PARADISE CONDOSUITES

Favorite Local Bar

To say that these places are just Local Bars ...... well, that won't do them justice at all. There are excellent meals and appetizers available at these restaurants, in addition to those listed in Food Scene. I suppose the Local Bars may be just a little louder inside (or outside, being as inside is outside). And yes, you can wear shorts and flipflops to a bar, perhaps not so much to a five star place.....
When you arrive at your Condo at La Vista Azul you are going to do one of two things. Sure, you may very well peel off your limp, smelly airplane-travel clothing, throw on a bathing suit and jump in the pool....or; You might wheel your luggage into the Condo, have a bathroom break, say 'see ya later' (don't forget the kids), shut the front door and walk over to Sharkbite! Your beer awaits!! Everything else before this point is immaterial. At Sharkbite you can rest assured that you will be noticed by Keith, Chief Bartender, bottle-washer, food purchaser, tv repairman, staff leader ...... you get the picture! You'll be greeted by a friendly smile or a 'hey' as you walk to a table outdoors on the deck. Sure they have pub food, but, they also have mighty fine fresh cuisine, created using fresh, local marine catch and select market vegetables, pasta, rice, or more vegetables! Sharkbite also has live music every other Friday, and special events that are posted inside. T-shirts and other merch are also available inside the restaurant.

Danny Buoy's is favourite local Irish-style bar with beers on tap, as well as the fantastic local Turks Head variety. Danny Buoy's has a great variety to their food menu, from salads to very good pizzas, and all the favoured pub foods in between. Karaoke night on Thursdays is an outstanding time. Don't be afraid to get up there and belt out your fave song. Some can sing..... some CANNOT, but that's okay, because those of us who cannot sing are actually singing praises to YOU for having the bravery to do it !!

I looooove this restaurant, although again I've classified it as a Local Bar. Somewhere has excellent Mexi-ribbean (new word) food, plays live music a few days per week, and at the very least will have music playing in the background. Somewhere is situated on the beach at Coral Gardens Resort, a two minute drive from La Vista Azul. Parking is available anywhere in the roundabout outside their main entrance, and from there you just walk to the restaurant. The bar has an incredible selection of spirits and liquors, and the bartenders are incredibly friendly, outgoing and are always trying to impress. The lighting is subdued, but sufficient, with torches situated around the perimeter as well. If seating is available, you will love the Upper Deck (18+). You will be afforded beautiful views during the day, and some of the best sunset photos off to your left in the west. Upstairs is a little quieter (a little), and could be great for a romantic dinner!

If you love Jamaican cuisine, and your significant other prefers authentic Chinese cuisine, then you have come to the right place! I called it a Bar, because it has a bar, but you can dine here too! PLUS, Chinson's does a crazy amount of take-out as well, so don't hesitate to come pick up some food to take to your condo. This is a great restaurant, with a huge central bar and middle of the road prices. Several times, I have had excellent Jerk chicken and fried plantain with peas 'n' rice and cornbread! They also sell regular and specialty fresh baked bread daily which is a huge plus for carb lovers!

Castaways opened in 2022 across from Regent Village shops, and has done really well! The food quality is fantastic, they have a large vegetarian and vegan section, something for every palate and a large drink menu. Their outdoor entertainment is also excellent, and very crowd interactive Great for families with kids, large groups, or couples. Highly recommended!!

Food scene

Dining on Provo is a fantastic experience. As a casual vacationer, you can experience respectably-priced restaurants and local fare across the island. Upscale, 4 and 5-star dining is an excellent choice for a quiet, well-attended meal, for those special moments, or just because. The choice is yours from over 150 restaurants on Providenciales. You should not have any concerns for the food safety of your family when eating out on Provo. Most restaurants, in my 14 years on the island (lunch diners included), are excellent when catering to specific food needs for you and your loved ones.
Mango has a menu that has the ability to cater to every single whim and fancy. When lobster is in season, rest assured that there are several dishes prepared with either grilled or cracked lobster as well as prepared pasta dishes with lobster. The atmosphere is amazing, and the restaurant is HUGE! You are sitting outdoors on the marina waterfront, with just a boardwalk separating you from the water. If the weather is tempting a rainfall, then it is first come first serve to grab an empty table under the massive canopies that protect you from the elements. Pricing varies on the menu, depending on what you order. The more expensive meats are usually $40+, but you can get very good meals with local fish for $30+, or items with chicken or vegetarian for $20+. I actually love their vegetarian curry!! Appetizers are $10+. In high season, grab a reservation for as many nights as you want to go, otherwise, you are usually okay to show up unannounced. You may not get the table you want, but they will not turn you away!

Fine Italian food, wine, and atmosphere. Not to mention, you are in Provo overlooking the canal and marina! Great for takeout pizza! * As of December 2022, I noticed that the pizza does not have the same airy hand-tossed crust that it has had for years. I will not be able to ask Baci's owner about it until after my return to Provo in May of 2023.

I have had the ubiquitous Jamaican Patty before - countless times in many places. When I found this little restaurant / take-out, and tried their patty's and coco bread, I could not believe my luck!! What a gem! If you want a quick lunch, and you are okay with just protein & carbs, LOL, then this is the place for you. The Coco bread is soft, silky and just melts in your mouth (like sweet Wonder bread)!! Have your patty the proper way, cocooned inside your coco bread, and eat it like a hot dog!

Magnolia has one of the best sunset views of the entire island! Their restaurant deck is west-facing, located at the top of the hillside, just down Sunburst Drive from La Vista Azul. You will have passed it on the way to the resort if you came in the back entrance. Magnolia serves French cuisine with a Provo flair, artfully presented and exquisitely prepared. Not really a good place for young children as it is a smaller, quiet venue. Ideal for a romantic meal, dinner with close friends, or simply a quiet dinner where the staff will fully acknowledge your needs. Average entrees would be $30 to $50.

RESERVATIONS ONLY. Unfortunately, you will likely be turned away if you just show up to Coco Bistro. It is an amazing restaurant, with excellent food in an outdoor dining area set with a plethora of Palms, twinkling lights, attentive service and an excellent reputation. If you are looking to dine at Coco Bistro, reserve your table up to three months in advance. I am not saying you won't get in if you are two or three weeks ahead, but I have been told on the phone with their Maitre'D that they book FOUR months out. Coco Bistro is $$$ to $$$$. I have not eaten at Cocovan, but my understanding is that this is a takeaway 'lunch' place, that serves their food out of an AirStream caravan (kind of like a food truck, but Cocovan would not serve out of a truck). I would assume that the food is as good as its' parent restaurant.

The local fish served at Mr. Grouper is outstanding, and we have dined here many times. They also have a semi-circular bar where local and tourist alike can spend a couple of hours gossiping and partaking of special beverages! As with most seated dining restaurants, prices are typically around US$50 per person for a meal and appetizer. Drinks are on top of that.

Hey, if it's you want, you go wrong with PIZZA PIZZA. Pick up from their Leeward Highway location on the way to Graceway grocery, or dine in at the Regent Village Pizza Pizza restaurant in Regent Village. Sit on the upper deck and enjoy a beer or glass of wine, while you wait for a Caesar Salad and a fresh, hot pizza pie!

Hmmmmmm...... why is this categorized under Food Scene!? Well, they have a hot and cold deli and a salad bar for take-out! GG is great to buy lunch from while you are at the beach on Grace Bay. Head over there, make a salad for each person, and take it back to the beach. You're probably going out for dinner anyway ...... right?

Indigo (formerly Stelle) has superb ambience, outstanding service, and a wide array of tasty menu options, including vegan. Expect to pay at least U$75 per person which would include a glass of wine, appetizer and entree. Prices go up from there, depending on what you order! It is a beautiful spot, with a choice of indoor or outdoor dining in the palms, and is only a 3 or 4 minute drive from your Condo.

A huge selection of classic Indian dishes, as well as many that are specific to different geographic areas of India. Your taste buds will love you for this! They will take orders via text, and orders are usually ready within half hour for take-out. Very convenient, and well worth the visit! They are located about 3 minutes away by car to the west of your Condo, just off of Leeward Highway.

If you love Thai food, you must visit Kin Khao! They are located in a very unassuming building off Leeward Highway near the Beaches roundabout. It is very casual, with some authentic ambience, however, the food is superb! The last time I was there in Nov '23 I had a Green chicken curry, Sticky Rice and Tamarind Shrimp with two beers for U$55. It was incredibly good, and I will be back again and again. The dine-in service is hit or miss, but your food is served quickly, hot and full of flavor!

Wonderfully prepared meals, no nonsense, professional service, exquisite surroundings and ambience. A couple of nights a week there is live entertainment, so be sure to book reservations. Be prepared to spend $100 to $150 each with a couple of alcoholic drinks each.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is great across the island in so many areas that you really cannot go wrong! Smiths Reef is one part of the many beautiful coral reefs throughout the Caribbean. In addition to snorkeling from the beach, and swimming out just 20 or 30 feet, you can also snorkel off of a boat, should you decide to book a half or full-day snorkel tour. Below I have listed the most popular island locations, but by no means the only locations.

If you are up for it, kiteboarding is an amazing thing. Think back to your kite that you had as a young child, then imagine yourself on the water with a much larger version of that same kite propelling you down the beach! The next problem is getting back to whence you started...... I love watching the kiteboarders jumping around (and watching the instructors teach their new students) at Long Bay Beach. Lots of cross-winds make Long Bay a premium location for kiteboarders on Provo.

Beaches

There are many beaches on the island of Providenciales. So many, that you could spend your entire holiday going to a different beach every day and still not see them all! All beaches on Provo are public, and are all part of the Princess Alexandra National Park. Although beach furniture and beach-side services are always specific to the hotel or resort, and not for public use, the beach area in front of these resorts is absolutely for public use! If you want to go to the beach at Seven Stars Resort, as an example, just park your car at the Princess Alexandra parking area just beside the resort, and there you will find the walkway leading you to the beach. Many, many resorts have public walking paths leading to the beach from the road, and almost as many have a public parking area.

Grocery Stores

Everyone needs groceries! Rest assured that when you get to Provo, you will have access to many of the supermarket foods that you are used to buying in North America. Sure, they may come in a different bag or box, and might be a different brand, but potato chips are potato chips, right?! LOL Graceway IGA has their primary store located on Leeward Highway (the main four lane road that you take from the airport to LVA), is about a five minute drive travelling east from La Vista Azul. They have a large fresh produce section, dairy, cereals, baby food, baby supplies, and everything in between. And yes, they sell beer, wine & spirits. They have an incredible selection of everything, chilled and room temperature, to suit your needs. BUT, no alcohol sales on Sundays. No exceptions. Even if you beg, it ain't gonna happen. Oh. Did I say it was a little expensive?! Well, everything has to be brought to Provo from being grown on neighbouring islands, or simply from being imported from other countries around the world. That bag of chips that you are used to paying $2.00 for, will likely be four or five dollars. Once you are here, it is hard to even think about it though. Your mind very quickly adapts to the different price level because of where you are. On a beach, on a tiny tropical island in the middle of the ocean. That five dollar bag of chips is sounding pretty good right about now isn't it?!

This prime location is at just off of the Seven Stars Resort roundabout in Grace Bay. Like the Leeward location, they carry most grocery items, however this store is larger in size, smaller in grocery selection, BUT it is almost right on the beach! They do have a much larger beer, wine & liquor selection, plus, if you would like a fresh salad or deli selection to eat on the beach, walk thru their 'On the Go' section and make yourself a healthy lunch. They pack it into a compostable container, and away you go!

This is yet another Graceway supermarket, and this one is located downtown Provo. You would have seen it at the Town Centre Mall on your way from the airport to La Vista Azul on your right hand side, where traffic is only single lane each direction. You are welcome to use this supermarket also, and prices are the same across the island at all Graceway stores. This is the largest of the Graceway stores, and will have more selection across departments. They also have a hot and cold deli!

Sightseeing

Whether it's boat tours you are after, sportfishing, parasailing, water sports, or just visiting the picture-perfect Cays (little islands) of the Turks and Caicos, then check out these places.
My Time Tours, as per the brochure, does tours at various locations in Provo. There are many tour companies, but these guys have been at it a long time. Every first time visitor has to go to Iguana Island (aka Little Water Cay). There is nothing like walking thru the trees and scrub, and seeing little mini Dinosaurs (actually Iguanas) running around (actually sunbathing mostly). This is a short excursion, but is well worth the visit. The beaches at Little Water Cay are nothing short of spectacular, and will give you those picture-perfect, blue water, blue sky, white sand shots that you see in the ads!

No trip to Provo is complete without going to Potcake Place, in Salt Mills Plaza. There is nothing like holding a 7 or 8 week old puppy in your arms, while learning about the Potcake Place facility, and the good that they do for Provo. Potcake Place adopt off-island about 500 dogs per year! That's 500 less dogs on the island EVERY YEAR! If you want to borrow/walk a puppy for a couple of hours, make sure you get there about 45 minutes before the 10am store OPEN. Wear sunscreen, as it is hot in the line-up/queue. The line-up will have about 20 people in it by 10am. They also have a free spay-neuter clinic where they they perform these procedures over a specific period every year, all in an effort to reduce and keep the canine population down to acceptable levels. DONATIONS of time or money are always gratefully accepted.

I put this resort in the Sightseeing category, because you can purchase Day Passes, and take part in their activities, enjoy the open-bar and international buffet, go to the Disco, and watch their shows, all as part of their All-Inclusive adult experience.

You can purchase a day pass to play and dine almost anywhere on the Beaches resort. Water slides, amazing pools and swim up bars are yours. In 2019, a day pass was US$75 pp. I have not looked into current pricing.

No trip to Provo is complete without a visit to Turks Head Brewery to have a quick look at how their beer is made, along with some scheduled time at the hospitality bar! Occasionally, the bar will have beers on tap that are not available for sale in stores, so for a beer foodie, this place is the best! Pick up a Turks Head t-shirt, or other stuff to memorialize your visit. The brewery is located off of South Dock Road (one of the roundabouts off of Leeward Hwy in between the Airport and your condo). Google has directions!!

Scooter Bob's moved in the summer of 2020. They are now located just north of Suzy Turn roundabout, behind the Fortis TCI hydro building, about a 5 minute walk from the rear entrance La Vista. Bob's family has always provided great service for us at very reasonable prices - arguably the best prices on Provo! They must have a hundred cars on the lot, plus Scooters, eBikes, Bicycles and more!

At La Vista's parking lot, I always see a lot of Scotts Cars being rented by Guests. We have not personally used them, but with the number of vehicles I always see, that has to stand for something!
