Luxury meets family adventure at Beaches Turks & Caicos, located in the Caribbean’s stunning Grace Bay (voted #1 World’s Best Beach by TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards). The 758-room resort is a destination in itself, with five well-appointed villages—Caribbean, Seaside, French, Key West and Italian—each designed to reflect the style of its region.

The expansive resort is truly a wonderland, featuring kids’ camps and childcare for all ages, multiple pools throughout the resort, and the enhanced Pirate’s Island Waterpark, the largest aqua playground in the Caribbean. The water park features eight slides, a Body Glove Waves surf simulator, a 650-foot lazy river and much more. Parents, you’ve been warned; your kids may not leave the pool your entire vacation.

Families revel in the resort’s 21 onsite restaurants with an array of international cuisine styles. And Beaches’ claim to fame (one of them, anyway) is its association with Sesame Street. Favorite characters, including Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch, make appearances daily. Adventure programs with characters, as well as parades, nightly tuck-in times, breakfasts and photo opportunities are available for kids to enjoy throughout the week.

Note: While it was previously announced that Beaches Turks & Caicos would close indefinitely in 2021, the resort will remain open.

In total, there are 758 rooms in 44 configurations, spread across the Caribbean, Seaside, French, Key West and Italian Villages. All rooms include air conditioning, king or double beds, satellite TV, refrigerators, clock radios, and private baths and showers with tiled floors.

Beaches Turks & Caicos - Caribbean and Seaside Villages 
The Caribbean Village is the oldest at the resort, originally built as a collection of rooms at another resort, later purchased and renovated by Beaches, which also added an addition. Here, most of the rooms are among the smallest offered on the resort, and do not feature ocean views. Located beside the beach, the Caribbean Village is surrounded by tropical gardens and palm trees.

Children are divided into groups: ages 0 to 11 months, 12 to 24 months, and 3 to 4 years.

All About the Extras

• Babysitting
  Besides its baby and kids' centers included during the day, private daytime care is available at $20 per hour until 11 p.m. The price goes up to $25 per hour from 11pm to 8pm. If you plan to stay out past 11 p.m., there's an extra $20 charge to cover the babysitter's transportation home.
• Departure Lounge
  If you want to use the resort's facilities after you check out, the Departure Lounge will store luggage, and also provides a place to shower and dress following water activities. This is conveniently located where the airport shuttle departs, too.
• Dietary Needs
  For anyone requiring a special diet while staying at Beaches, a desk in the Caribbean Village Lobby operates from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. to take requests. The staff will ensure at least one dish at every restaurant, at any given time, will meet dietary constraints. Note that if you have any dietary restrictions, including kosher meals, that the resort doesn't regularly carry, you'll need to give the resort a one-month notice prior to arrival. When in doubt, call or email the resort ahead of time.
• Exercise Center
  Start your day with an invigorating workout at the resort's 900-square-foot fitness center, located in the French Village. You can also exercise in a fitness facility at the Key West Village. Changing facilities are available.
• Internet
  Wi-Fi is free in rooms and all common areas. The connection isn’t always the best, so don’t get frustrated if you can’t connect in your room. Simply walk over to the check-in desk to ask for the best hotspot closest to your room.
• Orientation
  Welcome orientations are held daily at 9 a.m. in the Main Lobby of the Caribbean Village and 4 p.m. in the Key West Village Library. With the resort's expansive size, we highly recommend someone from your family attend to learn about all the programs, restaurants and special events taking place during your stay.
• Nurse's Station
  A resort of this size needs to be ready for emergencies, so a trained nurse is available daily in the Caribbean Village from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. A doctor is on call 24/7 if an emergency should arise.
• Red Lane Spa
  Step into the tranquil haven of these spas—one in the French Village and the other in the Key West Village—to experience a sanctuary for mind, body and soul that blends classic spa offerings with a Caribbean flair. Body treatments, massages, facials, pedicures and manicures are wonderful. There's also a couple's massage that can be a great treat while the kids are kept busy with their own fun.
• Tipping
  As an all-inclusive resort, Beaches has a "no-tipping" policy. Tips for housekeeping, servers, bartenders, childcare staff and pool/beach attendants are all included in rates. This doesn't mean staff won't accept additional tips, though, or provide a little extra attention to your family if you choose to tip.

The Best Time to Visit Beaches Turks & Caicos
All facilities are open year-round. Similar to other Caribbean destinations, the fall is often considered a shoulder season, while winter is a popular due to the cold temperatures in the Northern U.S. During the summer, many great deals are available. Average air temperature is 82 degrees Fahrenheit/28 degrees Celsius during the day and 72/22 at night. This property receives abundant sunshine and enjoys warm temperatures year-round, so anytime is a great time to visit.

Getting There
Airport transfers are included in a stay at Beaches Turks & Caicos. Simply check in at the booth just after you exit the airport past immigration. The airport (Providenciales) is about a 15-minute drive to the resort.

Direct flights to Turks and Caicos are offered from New York, Miami, Chicago, Atlanta,  Charlotte, Toronto and Montreal airports. United, American Airlines, Delta and Jet Blue all offer nonstop flights. Other U.S. hubs usually offer connecting flights through Florida and Puerto Rico.

Upon departure, guests will need to pay a $20 fee, per adult, at the airport.

• Passports
  Passports are needed for all visitors arriving in Turks and Caicos. Depending on your country of origin, you may need further visas or documentation. Make sure you check before your arrival. U.S. and Canadian guests only need a passport, though.

For Parents
Parents can rest easy knowing their children are taken care of with Beaches' Certified Nannies, so there's plenty of time to check out several activities on property that will reignite the romance. Couples can dive hand in hand during a scuba session, lay in a hammock on the beach sipping endless top-shelf cocktails, indulge in a romantic candlelit dinner on the sand, or experience the Red Lane Spa's Night Blooming Jasmine massage, designed to enhance the connection between you and your partner.
