Good to Know
Amanyara
- The resort faces a protected marine reserve, not Grace Bay — it's quieter and more remote than most Providenciales hotels, which is either the appeal or the drawback depending on what you want.
- About 20 minutes from Providenciales International Airport.
- Snorkelling directly off the property's reef is genuinely good, not just a marketing claim — the reserve status protects it.
Riggs Washington DC
- Setting: the restored former Riggs National Bank at Ninth and F Streets in Penn Quarter.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- Seasonal openings, restaurant schedules and spa access should be confirmed for the intended dates.
