Reviewed Apr 10, 2024via mobile
My husband and I had the most perfect trip to Dragon Cay Resort!! It was worth the time and effort to make the trek out to Middle Caicos. We had lunch at the restaurant most days, and made dinner in Sunrise Cottage each night (with groceries that we ordered in Provo and carried over on the ferry). A car rental is a must.

If you like lots of people, luxurious accommodations, and lots of things to do - this is not the trip for you. If you like hours alone on the most gorgeous beaches, with nights in a (sparkling clean) airy beach cottage β€” this is the trip and this is the place for you!!

We drove to Bambarra Beach early in the mornings to enjoy the solitude on that beach before the first ferry arrived; we toured Conch Bar Caves (quick but worth the time in our opinions), did a quick walk through nearby Indian Cave, drove to North Caicos for lunch and Pumpkin Bluff Beach (off the beaten path, but worth the time).

Dragon Cay Resort was the perfect home base - remote, but not so much that it felt unsafe. The stars at night were beautiful . The staff was very helpful and accommodating - but we didn’t really need anything from them because everything was in order when we arrived! Secret Beach was our favorite. We hope to come back soon before everyone finds out about this place!

It was such a pleasure having you both here with us. Always nice to have guests who appreciate the beauty of our island as much as we do. We look forward to sharing your kind words with the staff and to welcoming you back to visit The Dragon again soon. Let the world know that North and Middle Caicos are worth so much more than a day trip!

Dragon Cay Resort was the perfect place to put your toes in the sand, listen to the waves and enjoy the panormic view of the ocean. We enjoyed the quiet island atmosphere after being surrounded by tourists on Provo. The layout of the studio cottage made it feel big and had everything we needed. The staff went out of their way to accomodate our requests (e.g., early check-in, use of grill). The Mudjin Harbor restaurant was a short walk down the stone pathway and the food was declicious for both lunch and dinner. We were lucky to be there for "Lobsterval" where the griled lobster was actually bigger and better than in Maine. Groceries on the island were limited but there is a good wine/liquor shop in Bottle Creek with reaonsable prices, so no need to buy that on Provo. We recommend buying any meat/veggies on Provo to bring in a cooler on the Ferry. The restaurant was open for lunch every day but was only open for dinner on weekends. The resort's stone pathways lead to look out points and 2 beaches. Cottage came with beach umbrella, chairs and towels. To get to the hidden beach, follow the path down through the cave to find a fabulous beach where there is likely no one on it. It is rare that you can go somewhere for a few nights and leave feeling like you've been there for a week! Middle Caicos is laid back, the people are very friendly. There is nothing to do but relax, so if you want to get away from it all, this is the place do go!

Room tip: Sunrise Cottage has an amazing view! Bring bug spray as they come out at dawn and dusk.

This place was magical and everywhere you looked was just beautiful! The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, both on site and via email or WhatsApp. They arranged our airport transport, helped with the rental car agency, gave recommendations for food/meals, and helped arrange our kayaking excursion with Spot on E Bikes! We stayed in the Sunset cottage, which was perfect for my husband and I, and had the most gorgeous views every evening while planning our evening meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The restaurant was delicious and there was always very friendly staff working there too! We highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a place to get away from it all and to see some of the most gorgeous sights ever! We will be back, thanks so much again for the most wonderful stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Dragon Cay. We stayed in the sunrise cottage and it had gorgeous views. The patio on this one is not screened in but we brought bug spray and stayed off the porch as dusk and dawn when bugs are the worst and had no issues. Everything was as described, beach, cottage, ect. It is not the fanciest of places, but you are made well aware of that when booking. It is truly an unspoiled area and as such you don’t have the same amenities as other areas. We knew this and set expectations as such by bringing most of what we would need (groceries/bug spray/water). We did go to North Caicos to grab a few things one day and they had a decent selection of items if needed.

We liked the onsite restaurant and everyone was welcoming and friendly. Short drive to Bambarra Beach (Must do!) and the secret beach and Mudjin Harbor at the resort are amazing. There are not many people and you may be the only one on the beach at any given time. While we loved our time in Provo this was our favorite part of our trip. 😊

Great villa, great service.
The layout of villa was perfect for our family of 4.
We kited between North and Middle Caicos - the country's best flat spot.
We simply loved our stay. We'll do it again for sure.

Great location with great views and easy walk to Mudjin Harbor, short drive to North Caicos and Bambarra beach in Middle Caicos. The islands as a whole don't have much in supplies and when we went on a Sun afternoon, all grocery stores had already closed down (2:00pm ferry from Provo to North via Caribbean Cruisin) - not much you can do about that other than carry much (but what about perishables....). Nice peaceful and private cottage. We did run into a broken coffee maker (in Provo and here on this vacation!) but was replaced albeit only next day because everyone was gone Sun afternoon. Don't expect a lot of facilities (no in unit laundry or even a laundromat, dry your wet beach clothes on the porch and hope it dries enough!), but otherwise a very good place to stay. Bambarra is the shallowest beach we have ever seen, great for small kids but perhaps not ideal for adults or for snorkeling etc.). Mudjun Harbor reminded me of the Cliffs of Mohr (this is smaller) a little except this has a beach too with easy access.

Room tip: Location is fairly remote, not a lot of facilities or even good grocery stores, so pack "everything". But great location, good cottage
