Bring the Crew to Beaches Resorts

Reap all the benefits of award-winning Caribbean resorts, now with the whole family!

We often hail Sandals Resorts as an ideal, adults-only getaway to escape the everyday. Between the white sand, sparkling cocktails and crystal-clear water, it’s a serene tropical vacation fit for a postcard.

While we stand by the accolades we give to Sandals, we think getting on island time shouldn’t be a luxury reserved just for adults.

Enter, Beaches Resorts.

Brought to you by the creators of Sandals, Beaches Resorts are family-friendly Caribbean destinations across Jamaica and Turks & Caicos. The company expanded its offerings to guests of all ages in 1997, and already has plans to open more Caribbean islands in coming years.

These resorts have many of the same amenities and offerings as Sandals, with an amplified menu of kid-friendly activities and services that parents will be grateful for from arrival to departure.

Adults and children are quick to flock to the pools, waterslides, and the included land and water sports. Depending on your destination, you’ll be able to choose from water activities like windsurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, waterskiing, hydrobikes and more.

If you’re looking to stay on dry land, take your pick from a variety of court and table sports like soccer, lawn chess, tennis, shuffleboard, basketball, beach volleyball and croquet, etc.

At Beaches, water slides aren’t reserved for the big kids. Toddlers and small children can play in their own haven of splash zones and slides that are “just their size.”

One of the most popular onsite perks for families is the Pirates Island Waterpark, available at all three destinations. Pirates Island boasts a menu of pools, hot tubs, waterslides and splash decks to cater to guests of all ages. Even the littlest of tykes are welcome on toddler-friendly waterslides with shallower pools for safe play.

When the family needs a break from the sun and sand, Beaches is at-the-ready with kids clubs to suit all age ranges”

• Kids Camp – Staffed by certified supervisors and nannies to entertain and care for children from infancy to adolescence.
• Club Liquid – Lounge designed to give tweens and teens the independence they want, with the safety and supervision they need.
• Sesame Street – Activities and performances featuring fan-favorite characters from Sesame Street.

One of our top takeaways from Beaches Resorts are not only the amenities included for younger guests, but also the services and special attention to different needs.

These resorts are accredited by IBCCES as an Advanced Certified Autism Center. Specially-trained staff cater to the sensory, behavioral and communication needs of their guests.

Not to be forgotten, Beaches has plenty for adults when they decide it’s time for some down time of their own.

Clear your mind with fitness classes and spa services*, golfing or boutique shopping. You can even return to romance with private candlelight dinners for you and your significant other.
*Spa treatments available for additional cost.

Just like their sister properties, Beaches Resorts are full of top-notch dining options to please even the pickiest of palates. Choose from various eateries included in your resort package, inspired by cuisines around the world, such as Italian, Indian, Asian, American Southwest, Caribbean, French, etc. All of these dining options – including premium liquors – are included in your resort package.

Plus, you don’t have to shy away if you, or someone in your party has a food allergy or other dietary restrictions. Be sure to let your agent know when booking if you’re concerned about food options. In many cases, you’ll be able to sort out alternatives, meal plan, or flag the kitchens of any special needs.

For those of us with rather picky eaters, we recommend checking out menus ahead of time, or as soon as you get to property so you are at ease knowing there’s something to fill everyone’s belly come mealtimes.
If you’re concerned about your options, do not hesitate to reach out to your agent or the resort for reassurances and information about dietary needs.

Those traveling with toddlers and infants can leave extra stress and bulk at home, thanks to onsite amenities like crib, stroller and car seat rentals, as well as access to washers and dryers. When available, adjoining rooms can also be requested to give you all some extra room without sacrificing peace of mind.
You don’t even have to worry about transportation to your resort, with the complimentary airport transfer service to get you from one place to the next.

While most everything you’d need is included in your package, it’s important to know that you have access to other services, like medical assistance, tours, spa treatments, scuba certification and more for an additional fee. These onsite perks are ready if and when you need them, but not mandatory and not associated with your package cost.
