Beaches Resorts: Family All-Inclusive Vacations, Planned Free
Picture the whole family on a powder-soft beach: little ones meeting Sesame Street friends, big kids tearing down waterslides, teens with a scene of their own, and grown-ups with a drink in hand and absolutely nothing to organize. That's the promise of Beaches Resorts, the family-focused all-inclusive brand from the Sandals family, with resorts in Turks & Caicos and Jamaica. The question is which resort, which room and how to make the logistics easy for everyone from toddlers to grandparents. That's our job. Our advisors compare the resorts, match you to the right suite for your group, and help with transfers and travel details. And planning with us is free. Beaches and other travel suppliers pay us, so you pay the same price you'd pay booking direct, and you get a real person on your side from the first question until you're home again.
Beaches Turks & Caicos
Beaches Turks & Caicos sits on Grace Bay in Providenciales, along a 12-mile stretch of beach. The resort is built as a collection of villages themed after Italy, France, the Caribbean and Key West, and a newer Treasure Beach Village is now open on the property. Highlights include the 45,000-square-foot Pirates Island Waterpark, 10 pools, Sesame Street characters, a teen disco and a wide range of restaurants. With more pools and restaurants than Negril, it's a strong pick for big families, multigenerational groups and anyone who wants a lot to do without leaving the property.
Beaches Negril
Beaches Negril is on the widest stretch of Seven Mile Beach in Negril, Jamaica, with pools, restaurants and bars right at the water's edge. Beaches describes it as laid-back luxury, with all-new rooms and suites, its own Pirates Island Waterpark, 13 restaurants, a swim-up bar and Sesame Street activities for younger guests. The pace is relaxed and the setting is right on the beach. It's a good fit for families who want a full all-inclusive resort with a more low-key, beachfront feel. We can help you compare it with Turks & Caicos based on your group.
Kids' Camps, Waterparks & Activities
Both resorts have a Pirates Island Waterpark, with slides, a lazy river and kid-friendly pools, plus Kids Camp programs for ages from tots to teens, run by certified nannies and Kids Camp staffers. Little ones can join Sesame Street shows and parades, and teens get their own spaces and activities, such as a teen disco at Turks & Caicos. Beaches also notes that its resorts have the Caribbean's first certified Autism Centers. Land and water sports, snorkeling and live entertainment are part of the stay. We'll help you plan which activities fit your kids' ages and interests.
Best Rooms for Families
Beaches offers a range of accommodations designed for families, from rooms to family suites with one, two or three bedrooms, plus beachfront and seaside villas and penthouse suites. The top suite levels include butler or concierge service, and every room includes a stocked in-room bar. Which suite types are offered, and where, differs between Turks & Caicos and Negril. The best choice depends on your group size, your children's ages and how much space you want. Tell us who's traveling and we'll recommend room categories that give everyone room to breathe.
