Beaches Resorts sets the standard that all other all-inclusive resorts try to live up to, while Beaches Turks and Caicos takes it up a notch. Sandals Resorts has long been established as the stand out for adult’s only all-inclusive vacations, but what about an all-inclusive the whole family will enjoy?
With two resorts in Jamaica and one in Turks and Caicos, a Beaches resort does not disappoint. The Italian Village at the Turks and Caicos location is clearly the standout. The Family Suites that make up the Italian Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos are not only pure luxury, but also a dream come true for families. Picture your family spending a week in a suite with plenty of room for everyone and even the services of a concierge or with the top-tier suites, your own private butler! There is a separate kid’s bedroom, complete with a mahogany bunk bed and trundle, 27” flat screen TV, Xbox 360© and game table.
Before you get to the bedroom you will pass a huge marble bathroom that not only has a walk in shower, but also a double sink and whirlpool tub, across from a bank of closets, microwave and the stocked refrigerator.
Finally you arrive in your sanctuary for the week, greeted by the four poster mahogany bed, 42” flat screen TV and sliding glass doors that open onto the patio. Just a few steps further and you are walking into the inviting zero entry pool.
The Italian Village pool is located between the breathtaking powder soft beach and the Pirates Island Waterpark. You could spend all day indulging in the wide variety of water sports, from Stand Up Paddleboarding to surf simulators, and even complimentary Scuba diving, for PADI certified divers. The possibilities are endless.
After a day chocked full of water sports you will certainly work up an appetite. Luckily, with 16 restaurants and 12 bars to choose from you will not go hungry. Remember, all of this is INCLUDED! These aren’t your typical all-inclusive feeding lines, these are top notch restaurants. You can begin your day with a cappuccino or espresso and mouthwatering pastries that will have you reminiscing of a café in Paris. Grab a fabulous seafood lunch just steps from the ocean, with your feet in the sand, at Barefoot by the Sea. Then why not indulge in an Adult’s only dinner at Sapodilla’s while the kid’s enjoy activities custom designed for their age group.
Speaking of kid’s clubs, from tots to tweens to teens, there is something to keep everyone smiling from the hours of 9am to 9pm, or later. The little ones will love spending time in the company of Elmo, Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street gang. There are activities such as baking cookies with Cookie Monster, live shows and parades in the evening featuring the characters, treasure hunts and more. Pre-teens will have days filled with activities such as sailing, snorkeling, beach volleyball, pizza making and reggae sessions. Not to be left out, the teens even have their own disco and the Scratch DJ Academy!
As you can see, there is truly something for everyone at this resort. It is really a fabulous place to reconnect with your teenagers, or introduce your toddlers to the tradition of a family vacation. Looking for the best time of year to go? I love visiting in the fall, before the rush of the Holiday season and after things have settled down from the summer rush.
