Fun, Friends, and Rum at Ocean Club West Resort
Rum. That?s Arjay Vyas? single word answer for the secret to making friends on the Turks and Caicos Island of Providenciales.
Vyas, the Food and Beverage Director at Ocean Club West Resort, was turned on to rum eight years ago when he joined a monthly club that gathered to sample, share, and discuss the legendary spirit.
