PROVIDENCIALES, TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS: (April 24th 2009): Provo Golf and Country Club, the only golf course in the Turks and Caicos Islands, is delighted to announce that it has partnered with its’ sister hotels the Regent Grand Resort and Spa and the Villa Renaissance to offer FREE GOLF to guests staying in those resorts.

“The fact that we can offer this ‘added value’ to our guests is an enormous bonus”, commented Development Manager for HAB Paul Slattery, “our main objective is to ensure that we can continue to keep our properties flourishing during these difficult economic times”.

A round of 18 holes at Provo Golf Club currently runs at $160. In real terms a guest staying at either The Regent Grand Resort or Villa Renaissance and playing golf for 5 days, see a reduction in their vacation expenses of $800! This Free Golf deal is also combinable with all other offers that the resorts are currently offering, including the free nights, airport transfers and continental breakfast.

HAB Group, the parent company of the golf course and resorts, sees this as an amazing opportunity to promote their properties as ONE. The luxury travel market of the TCI is a very competitive one, and HAB Group has made this decisive and bold move to make sure that they retain their sector of the market, which in turn will enable their hotels to continue to offer the personalized services that they strive so hard to do so.

This decision comes after a very successful first year of operation for the Regent Grand Resort, and following the presentation for the second year in succession of the TripAdvisor® Travelers' Choice® Award for the Villa Renaissance.

The Regent Grand Resort and Spa and Villa Renaissance are represented in the United States by Grace’s Distinctive Properties from New York.

HAB GROUP
HAB is the leading Developer in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Founded in 1983, the company soon recognized the development potential of the Turks and Caicos Islands and acquired 770 acres of prime real estate. In 1989 the company purchased the Turks & Caicos Water Company, which in turn allowed them to embark upon their first development, Provo Golf and Country Club, completed in 1992. Further land purchases were also undertaken, including land on North Caicos and elsewhere on Providenciales: a smart move given the ensuing period of significant land value appreciation in the TCI.

As a result, HAB Group have been at the forefront of the recent Providenciales property development boom and now have a growing reputation in Turks and Caicos Islands as outstanding developers of luxury beachfront condominiums. In addition to The Villa Renaissance this includes The Regent Grand and the Regent Village, which is fast being recognized as the premier commercial development in Grace Bay. HAB are in the process of developing their most prestigious development to date, The Vellagio.
