Where to Stay

Essential Tips for Dining at Coco Bistro Turks and Caicos

• Make a reservation! We could make a reservation three days in advance during our visit in August. During the busy season, you must make a reservation 2-3 weeks advance. December is already half-booked.
• It’s a 15-minute walk from the town of Grace Bay. Take bikes if possible.
• Give yourselves plenty of time to eat. We spent 1.5-2 hours during our meal.
• Wear layers. Most seating is outdoors, so it could be warm or more fabulous with a light breeze, depending on the weather.
• Dress code: It’s an island, so we saw a wide range. Generally, I would say you want to be business casual, but there were also some folks in t-shirts and some in full suits and gowns.
• It’s a tropical island, so sometimes it rains for a few minutes throughout the day. They gave us the option to move inside or use umbrellas. They also had stands for the umbrellas, so you don’t have to hold them up while you eat, but we thought this was more fun! The coconut palms also shielded us from a lot of the rain.
