  This forum has been a great help with our upcoming first trip in May.  I will pack some food items in a suitcase; go to the IGA for supplies; and try some local restaurants.
  We will be staying on Grace Bay at Coral Gardens.  Can anyone tell me what the weather is like in May?  And any problematic insects?  Like mosquitoes that time of year? 
  Any other tips for newbies would be appreciated!  Thank you!

Hi, shopgal. Seems like we met on another Turks and Caicos forum? :-)

We've visited twice during May, both at the beginning of the month, and at the end. Had great weather both times, but of course, no one can predict the weather.

Mosquitos are only an issue when there have been recent heavy rains. We alway pack a bottle or two of OFF, just in case there out. If they're out, you'll want to spray yourselves head to toe -- a little squirt here there doesn't do it. With thirteen visits, during different times of year, we've had to spray ourselves during maybe three or four vacations, but only at dusk.

Here's a link to weather averages, as that's really all you can go by:

IMO, the best first-time visitor tip is not to let the drive in from the airport discourage you. The island itself is not very attractive, but once you arrive at Coral Gardens, you'll understand what it's all about.

Enjoy. :-)
