Now that the summer season is heating up, the beach feels within our grasp -- even with this weekend's dreary weather. But since the Northeast isn't cutting it, we figured we'd flock to one of our favorite destinations of all-time: Turks & Caicos. And the Sands at Grace Bay is a top value pick: With a central location, the 114-room hotel offers solid, if not spectacular, amenities -- a fitness center, a nice restaurant, two pools, and a long stretch of oceanfront -- all at attractive rates. Factor in the generous guestroom size and furnished balconies and you've got yourself a sweet Monday Morning deal. So as we say every week, sit back, relax, and soak in the goodness that is the Sands at Grace Bay.
