Hemingway Would Go
When it comes to the drink, few historical figures are as legendary as Ernest Hemingway – a name whose very mention brings to mind a life as steeped in adventure as alcohol. “To drink is nothing,” proclaimed the man who once shot himself in both legs while drunkenly trying to kill a shark. “It is to be drunk that is important.” And while we don’t recommend getting as epically blitzed as he did, your stay at The Sands at Grace Bay should include a stop to the beachfront bar & restaurant baring the ever-inebriated author’s namesake.
The legendary and award-winning Hemingway's Beachfront Restaurant is well known for its food, service and ambience; but the famous Rum Punch is nearly a reason in itself to visit. The Sands at Grace Bay serve their trademark cocktail to guests at resort check-in, during their Tuesday Manager's Cocktail party; and of course, it is available for your drinking pleasure any time of day or night - around the pool or relaxing in the shade on the white sand beach. The Rum Punch is always a crowd pleaser at parties and an excellent way to quench your thirst after a day of invigorating activities in tropical Turks & Caicos.
