Salt Raker Inn

Turks & Caicos


Inviting, ramshackle Salt Raker is perfectly positioned on the seafront and is a welcome budget offering in Cockburn Town. The garden rooms at the back are comfortable and clean enough but much better are the ocean-view suites at the front. There's a rustic local restaurant in the rear garden.
