Hear this: new hotel amenity
The Tuscany on Grace Bay, a luxury condo hotel in the Turks & Caicos, is providing owners and guests with an unusual treat: cell phones.
“This new service is an innovative approach to communication which will avoid exorbitant land line charges, while allowing guests the convenience of making calls home or to the office from anywhere on the island,” according to the resort.
In addition to their room key, guests and owners checking in at The Tuscany will receive a complimentary Sony Ericsson cell phone including $20 worth of free minutes. Subsequent minutes can be purchased through the concierge at an additional charge.
The cell phones come with chargers and are pre-programmed with numbers for key contacts on the island including the hotel front desk, taxi drivers and emergency services.
If the phone is inadvertently left in a restaurant or store, The Tuscany’s logo appears on each phone, thus identifying it as the Tuscany’s property and enabling an easier return to the resort.
In addition, all the phones are on a closed user group which allows calls to other rooms or anywhere on the resort for free.
Guests and owners at The Tuscany on Grace Bay can use their cell phones as if they were their own.
Room rates are $975 a night.
