- Amanyara Resorts (Northwest Point) Phone: 649-941-8133
- Concierge.com Recommendation: "With its open, distinctly Asian, architectural style, and half of its staff Filipino, you could easily forget this resort was in the Caribbean."

- The Regent Palms (Providenciales) Phone: 649-946-8666

- Fodor's Choice: '"The charm of this resort, which was built in the 1970s, is that it never changes, and unlike Parrot Cay, it prides itself on simplicity rather than celebrity."
- TripAdvisor 4.5 Rating (Note: Community rating; may change)
- The Somerset (Providenciales) Phone: 649-946-5900
- Fodor's Choice: "What sets The Somerset apart is that it is also a comfortable place to stay that is more focused on your comfort and enjoyment than in attracting a celebrity clientele."
