Sitting in our offices in the beautiful New Jersey horse country in early January, my mind does occasionally wander to the soft white sands of Turks & Caicos. I think of our good friend Val grilling lobsters, playing his steel drums and enjoying the warm breezes on Grace Bay. I hope to soon be headed to Turks & Caicos and in the meantime am pleased to connect you with “The Man” himself. Val is a man of many talents and while I'm sure he plays a mean steel drum, his true talents lie in planning trips to the Turks & Caicos. Together with his wife Susan, Val owns and manages Luxury Experiences Turks & Caicos, a DMC that exclusively focuses on travel professionals.

5 Reasons You Need to be Working with this Turks & Caicos DMC
Meet Val and Susan, the husband and wife team behind Luxury Experiences Turks & Caicos. Besides being truly wonderful people, there are many reasons you should be working with Val and Susan when booking Turks & Caicos. Here are a few:
#1. LET&C works exclusively with travel advisors, meaning their one & only focus is collaborating with you to engineer a customized and meticulously planned itinerary for your clients.
#2. The team is on the ground in Turks & Caicos, so they are in-the-know on all the local happenings and best experiences. They also have personal relationships with the right people, which comes in handy when your clients ask for a reservation at an otherwise sold out restaurant.
#3. They take care of the entire itinerary from soup to nuts. Resort & villa bookings, VIP expedited airport service, transfers, tours, leisure activities, puppy visits, restaurant reservations - you name it, they're on it. As they like to say, "we know the best, we book the best".
#4. Advisors receive 15% commission on all accommodation plus commission on select services booked in advance or by clients 'on-island'. After booking, advisors are also marked as an ‘Agency of Record’ on any future client inquiries.
#5. Their customer service is second to none. For example, when an advisor is unsure about a villa, Val has been known to go to the property and video chat with the advisor to give them a virtual tour and a better sense of what their clients would be experiencing.

Surrounded by 1,000 unspoiled acres of wetlands, the resort provides a truly secluded atmosphere that makes relaxation inevitable - even when accompanied by kids. Families are top of mind at COMO Parrot Cay, made evident by their varied selection of different sized rooms, suites and beach villas. The garden view and ocean facing rooms, for example, can fit families of 3, while the COMO suites fit families of 4; certain villas and estates include up to 5 bedrooms. Should parents want a day at the spa or a romantic dinner alone, there are plenty of ways to keep kids entertained. A great place to meet and bond with the many other children at the resort is the kid-friendly library that boasts board games, video games, books, pool tables, and a large screen TV which shows nightly movies. Of course there are also kid-friendly water activities, excursions and staff-led programs that children can participate in daily. The dining at COMO Parrot Cay focuses on health and nutrition with juices, smoothies and kid-friendly treats. There are children’s menus available throughout the day as well."
