JUST CHECKED OUT: COMO PARROT CAY

February 21, 2021

COMO PARROT CAY is an award-winning Turks and Caicos luxury resort set on its own private island. With 1,000 unspoiled acres and over four miles of beach, they deliver true foot-in-the-sand luxury.

ROOMS: The enclosed development is comprised of 3, 4,5 and 6 bedroom private residences, 1 and 2 bedroom beachfront villas and 46 rooms/suites. We personally love the 1 bedroom Como suites and beachfront villas. For an epic celebration, renting Keith Richard’s private home Rocky Point is a must!

GETTING HERE: After arriving at Providenciales International Airport (PLS), guests are driven 10 minutes to Leeward Marina where they depart on a 25 minute boat ride to the private island of Parrot Cay.

ACTIVITIES: Guests can enjoy a wide variety of non-motorized and motorized water sports including fishing excursions. There are bicycles / golf carts to roam the property paths, one family pool and one adult only pool, fitness center, spa, tennis courts and a kids club.

DINING: There are two restaurants, Terrace which specializes in modern Italian fare and Lotus which focuses on light Caribbean-inflected lunchtime fare and contemporary Asian dishes at night. The resort also hosts various pop up dining experiences several times a month.

BEST TIME TO VISIT: November to August as hurricane season runs from early September to end of October.

MAPPS X COMO PARROT CAY: Special nightly rates, complimentary daily breakfast and food and beverage credits.

ENTRY AND DEPARTURE REQUIREMENTS: A negative COVID-19 PCR test result from an accredited laboratory is mandatory (antigen and antibody tests will not be accepted) to enter the island. The test must have been taken no more than 5 days prior to travel to the Turks and Caicos Islands. 48 hours prior to departure, Como will provide guests with complimentary antigen tests to return to the United States.

MAPPS TIP: Do not miss treating yourself to one of their signature spa treatments and pop up beach bbq dinners.

WHERE MAPPS CLIENTS ARE FLYING OFF TO RING IN 2021

November 22, 2020

We think we speak for everyone when we say we cannot wait to say goodbye to 2020 and hello to 2021. Over the past few months we have been working behind the scenes, setting up travel for client’s who feel comfortable flying for the holiday season. This year definitely presented some curveballs but we love a good challenge. We booked flights on carriers who have mask mandates, spaced out seating and HEPA filtration systems ( hello Delta, JetBlue and United Airlines ) as well as private planes and set up VIP fast track to avoid immigration lines. We chose preferred partner hotels, villas, private chefs, activity suppliers and restaurants who adhere to a strict Covid-19 guideline policy which includes mandatory testing and mask mandates for their employees as well as socially distanced tables and chairs. We also have set up any necessary Covid-19 testing requirements in advance and organized at home appointment testing for those who prefer a private Doctor rather then a center. Below, we share a sneak peek into some of their trips as well as their safety policies. Let’s face it, those who start the new year with a tan just always look better.
