WHAT TO EXPECT AT BEACHES TURKS & CAICOS

  • The resort is laid out across four villages: Caribbean, French, Italian, and Key West.
  • The Caribbean Village pools are very active with older kids due to the volleyball nets and places to eat all around. Plus, if you have younger kids as well the pool area is located right by the infant daycare.
  • The Italian village is the most popular spot for families. The pool is located at the center of the resort, which houses a big swim up bar and activities, as well as teams of people to come and  play with the older kids and organize activities. They also have a great night life which includes movies by the pool.
  • The Key West Village is located more on the outside of the resort and has a bit of a slower pace.
  • The French Village is also closest to the waterpark and Sesame Street stage. This village may not be beachside like the rest, but since its recent renovations the village houses a large pool.
  • Beaches is expensive and if you are looking to save some money on your booking, you should definitely sign up for their emails because every few months the prices will dip down; for instance booking your trip on Black Friday!
  • Unlike other resorts, there is no tipping allowed on the property! This is a strictly enforced policy of the resort. The only place this is allowed in at the spa.
  • They are very accommodating when it comes to food allergies. They will go out of there way to make sure your child’s allergies do not get overlooked!
  • Keep in mind that there have been some issues recently with cab pricing and safety in some locations. The resort is makes sure there are employees there to greet you when you get through customs and take care of your travel to the resort.
