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.
The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park
- Ask specifically for a Central Park King or higher when booking — not all "park view" categories face the park directly.
- The hotel keeps a bank of loaner Burberry trench coats and cashmere throws for guests headed into the park in bad weather.
- Steps from Columbus Circle and the southwest corner of Central Park; the subway hub there covers most of Manhattan directly.
