Beach House Turks and Caicos

Just got back from a quick 3 night stay at beaches. Took my 15 year old daughter. Resort was very nice. It is a very large resort but since it is segmented into different themes it is not overwhelming. All of the villages are kind of self contained with pools, bars and restaurants you can walk to all. We stayed in the Italian village in a family suit. It was overlooking the ocean so the view was very good. In the suit, there is a small room with bunk beds and a pullout. Also has a sink. Perfect for kids. Master has a large king size bed and pullout sofa. Refrige was stocked with juice, soda, water, beer, wine, and champagne. Refilled every day. The staff was helpful and pleasant. Ate at Schooners, Soy, and the Barefoot restaurant. All were good. We ate breakfast at Mario's--buffet was very good. Beach was very nice. Water is beautiful. Snorkeling right out front is not great because there is no coral. You will see some fish but walk down the beach to the coral gardens . It is about 1 kilometer down the beach to the left (if you are facing the water). There is a circular coral area that you can snorkel around the outside of. This is definitely worth the walk. Lots of fish and coral. Went windsurfing, paddle boarding, sailed hobie's. Only extra (not included) activity we did was the Kitty Katt tour. It was fun but you only get about 20 minutes to snorkel--the snorkeling is really good. They also drop you off at a beach where there is a bone fish flat and lots of iguanas on the beach. Depending on what you are looking for, Beaches resort is very nice. A romantic, intimate getaway for 2? Not what i would pick. Family and friends getaway? Yes. It is a party atmosphere with a certain level of sophistication. Had no problems with: Finding chairs on the beach. Never a problem. I did not have to get up at 5:30 am and run down a put a towel on the chair. People 'reserved them' in the early morning then never came or came late in the afternoon. What's up with that? Waiting fo...

My husband and I visited Beaches Turks and Caicos for 8 days/ 7 nights which served as our wedding and honeymoon. I have to say this was the BEST trip we have ever taken. They made what could have been a very stressful time (with the wedding and all) a very relaxing and spectacular experience. We stayed in the Caribbean Village in the Premium Honeymoon suite, anyone can book these rooms. Everything was perfect, great staff, great food/ drinks, great activities.. everything! This is the ultimate vacation and totally worth it. We will be going back on a yearly basis.

This island is absolutely beautiful. This ultra all inclusive resort is exceptionally clean, the weather was perfect, there are 12 restaurants to choose from, all water sports are included (even scuba diving), and the counselors in the kids’ camp were great! The airport is less than 15 minutes from the hotel and the flight on Jet Blue from NY is less than 3.5 hours. I highly recommend this resort and in fact have rebooked for next spring. The only thing I disliked was the additional charge for interent access which is somewhat unreliable.

This was our first family vacation in an all inclusive resort and we loved it. There were some activities that were part of the resort we didn't utilize until the end of our stay and wished we had figured it out sooner. For example, the kayak's and water bikes. If we did it all over again I would have pushed my children to attend the kids events sooner because they ended up really enjoying themselves and meeting kids from all over the country and from canada. The food was good but we did miss out on some of our first choice restaurants because the wait was to long. No worries though because there were plenty more to choose from. My husband was concerned we wouldn't make it to the airport for our flight home because it was a holiday week and very crowded. However the staff had the transportation worked out perfectly and everyone arrived on time and got through the baggage check.

Our first room, in the Caribbean Village, was comfortable, clean and spacious, but we moved mid-week to the Italian Village into the loveliest hotel room I've ever seen. The grounds are extremely well-kept, and the Grace Bay beach is beautiful. I highly recommend the butler service, which smoothed over every concern and anticipated every need--most helpful when you're traveling with young children.

My husband and three children (ages 15, 13 and 10) just got back from Beaches, Turks & Caicos. We all had an absolutely fantastic time. We've been other places (Aruba, Bahamas, Dominican, Mexico) but this was the best of all. Everyone who worked at the resort was friendly and wanted to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It was very relaxing and fun. I highly recommend this resort.
