Beach Villa Paprika Guest Book

Shandon

We just wanted to write you and say thank you for helping us plan such an amazing vacation in Turks & Caicos. We felt like royalty in Villa Paprika and we will certainly be back to TC for our next family vacation. The home, island, weather, restaurants and beaches were all just incredible.

Thanks again

Dear Henry

I have to apologize for taking so long to write this thank you note. Tim, the kids and I were blown away by your Paprika Villa. Being our 4th consecutive visit to Provo, we thought we'd found paradise before... but Paprika raised the bar!!! The view from the balconies were breathtaking and we spent a lot of time just taking in the scenery from them. Your management staff was wonderful, as usual, and the entire trip was beyond imagination.

While Sandstone will forever hold a sentimental place in our hearts, Paprika is the only place for us on Provo!!

Thank you for an outstanding vacation... we hope to return next year!!

Sincerely,

N. T. MacC. and the kids

Hello Henry and Shandon.

This is a very much overdue message of gratitude and delight with our Paprika vacation this past January - 2006. We had such a wonderful time we wanted to make sure our comments were heartfelt and thus we've been slow to write. Plus, we want to come back, so we best leave no doubt as to just how much we enjoyed that visit.

We had beautiful beach walks, sometimes for a mile before meeting others, but also amongst the happy faces at Grace Bay. We loved those turquoise waters and swam and snorkeled frequently. Our accommodations were exquisitely comfortable and so peaceful. We enjoyed lounge time in or around the pool and drifting off to the sounds of the surf.

And for evening meals we really got to love our short hikes to the varied local restaurants. All the food was delicious and whether we were sitting down for 40 minutes or 2 and half hours everyone was accommodating.

Our best vacation. We will get back. Sincerely,

Hello Shandon.

I wanted to tell you how nice Villa Paprika is (but of course you know that!) and thank you for directing us toward it. Paprika was a winner! My house guests, the (famous name omitted to maintain privacy), really enjoyed the house. The hoped-for complete anonymity on Provo wasn't quite as expected. There were some fellow countrymen at Magnolia's who were flabbergasted to see the royal family walk in, and they started taking photos and getting autographs. A Canadian couple were very excited at the IGA and asked for autographs, and even some fellow countrymen at the Ocean Club did the stop-and-point routine. But mostly, my friends were able to move about unimpeded and they really appreciated it.

What a wonderful vacation by the ocean in a beautiful villa with its tasteful decor! The weather was perfect with ocean breezes, sunshine every day, smooth sandy beaches, and charming plants and flowers. We enjoyed scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, with good fun had by all especially around the pool. Turtle Cove is very convenient for good food, shopping, and entertainment. We came for relaxation, and this was the place to find it. Everyone was sad to leave and we hope to come back soon.

The C. & J. families from Toronto came for a wonderful week of sun and fun. The villa worked out beautifully for all seven kids. The dads got in five full days of golf and the kids saw every fish imaginable at "our" reef. All the restaurants within walking distance were fantastic, exactly what everyone needed at the end of the day.

The K. and H. family had an unbelievable vacation here on Provo. We had beautiful weather all week. We had great experiences at Grace Bay Beach parasailing and riding the waves on the banana boat. Lunch at Hemingways was always a highlight - must try the fish tacos! Other restaurants that were wonderful were Aqua and Baci just around the corner. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Oh yeah, we had a visitor each day that we nicknamed Grace. She is a pretty silver and black striped cat and is extremely friendly. She enjoyed sliced turkey breast and a cup of milk each day by the pool terrace. If you see her, please be kind and offer her a treat. Have a great time!!

My family and my fiance's family came to the island for our wedding - absolutely unforgettable! While we were here we snorkeled right outside on Smith's Reef. You do not need to pay to go snorkeling, everything is right here! We also took a boat ride to "our own private island" for the day - highly recommended. BBQ'd at poolside most nights and enjoyed this wonderful vacation. Everyone enjoy your stay at Villa Paprika -- a beautiful house!

Henry and Shandon,

I can't believe that it has taken me til today to get back to you about our visit. I keep talking about Paprika and Providenciales, so you would think that I would remember to email you. We had a fabulous time last week. The Paprika is a great house. Beautiful bedrooms, gorgeous pool, wonderful views and a great outside. The weather was even perfect, we were truly spoiled. We took my parents and aunt and uncle and they haven't stopped thanking us yet. Just a perfect trip and Rick and I thank you for your generosity. I really believe we have found our vacation destination in Providenciales.

I don't know if Rick talked to you, but we did visit Gumbo one day. We really loved the location; so close to the beach. Everything about it was terrific, however we think we would want four bedrooms instead of three (got any of those?). We traveled around the island this time and even got down to see the Ocean Point villas. We saw the Leeward area last year and this year, and Turtle Cove is truly my favorite area. Anyway, we will be in touch. And thanks so much for a truly perfect week.

Wonderful house with a great view. Snorkeling rates a one of the best in our years of visiting islands.

Paprika is just wonderful! It has everything for a relaxing stray. The water is beautiful and a joy to see everyday. What wonderful breezes we have had everyday. Da Conch Shack had a not-to-be-missed island flavor. CoCo Bistro was our favorite. All around the nearby marina are good places to eat. The beautiful rainbow our last evening topped off a great week with good friends.

Hi Henry & Dinah:

Paprika has been a delight! The villa, pool, beach location and amenities give this property the best possible accolades!! We thoroughly enjoyed Provo inevery respect -- can't believe all the changes since 2001, but all for the better.

There were numerous highlights, but perhaps the most memorable was the fresh conch on the beach across from Three Queens Restaurant -- that was quite something! Seeing Bugaloo crack it open and prepare it was something not to be missed. Thank Thomas for finding this for us.

We had the most amazing electrical storm two nights ago and I have never witnessed such an awesome display of nature - again, what a treat!

Everything about TCI and Provo was excellent. Can't wait to visit again – Thanks

Mr. Moog,

We had a wonderful time in our recent stay at Villa Paprika. Thank you so much for the great experience. Your villa is absolutely wonderful. It is like a home away from home. The house was beautiful! Excellent taste in décor, not a space wasted or forgotten. We fell in love with the house. It has everything we could possibly need, we congratulate YOU! A very clean and well appointed house. We loved our time there, and the location could not be beat. Thanks for being so accommodating.

Greetings Shandon,

On a personal note I want to thank you for the best week my wife and I have ever spent together. Your vision and execution of an Island home made every day special. Knowing your eye for detail I am sure you positioned Paprika just to catch the prevailing trade wind perfectly. It appears that Paprika is a variation of a plan you used elsewhere but clearly you have perfected your craft as you built. We are already making plans for our company meeting and a family trip in 08. Your web site, as good as it is, does not do justice to what you have created. Contrary to appearances I am not given to flattery (ask my wife) but I just don’t have words to describe our time in your home. In 25 years together that is the best week we have ever enjoyed together.
