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 Sukhothai Shanghai
- Setting: the Jing'an district beside HKRI Taikoo Hui, within walking distance of West Nanjing Road.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- The hotel is part of a large mixed-use complex, but its courts and subdued interiors create meaningful separation from the retail surroundings.
