Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa

We stayed at Beaches Turks & Caicos with the family and had a great time. The grounds were clean, the resort had plenty to do with the kids, and there was always something going on to keep everyone entertained. We stayed in the Italian Village, which was a great spot for our family. One of the highlights was getting out on the water. We took a boat ride over to Iguana Island and also got to see the shipwreck and jump off it, which was absolutely worth the ride. That ended up being one of those fun memory-making experiences the whole family will talk about. Overall, it was a fun family trip with a good mix of relaxation, adventure, and activities for the kids.

Our family spent a week at Beaches and overall had a great time. This was our second time at TCI—the first being at the neighboring Alexandra resort, which we also enjoyed. At Beaches, we stayed in the Key West Village which is on the quieter part of the island, and stayed in two separate butler villas: a three bedroom villa (3VO) and a four bedroom villa with private pool (4VP). Both were very clean and lovely places to stay. The property grounds were beautiful and largely well kept—the gardeners were friendly and worked hard to ensure the property was impeccable. However, there were times when we saw empty beer cans and other trash in the flower beds near our pool and beach cabanas. These areas are where guests spend most of the day and should've been better maintained, but it didn't bother us much. As for the food, we felt it was largely hit or miss. The restaurants we enjoyed most included Sopadillas, Barefoot, Butch’s, Mario’s, Kimono’s, and Sky for breakfast. You mostly can’t go wrong with steak and seafood here, and the jerk chicken truck was always a lunch favorite. But overall the food here was a bit less enjoyable compared to other Sandals resorts we’ve been to. The food at Pinta was most disappointing—very bland, especially the fried plantains and spring rolls (that had nothing inside of them?), and the multi-kitchen ordering procedure was very odd. The food at Schooner’s was okay but took forever to come out (over an hour), and wasn’t hot when it arrived. The lunch buffet at Bayside was terrible—hard pass. For a family resort, the food choices for toddlers were very limited. We would’ve been much happier if toddler-friendly staples like PB&Js, grilled cheese sandwiches, meatballs, chicken nuggets, fish sticks, quesadillas, etc more widely available across the property. We also didn’t inquire with our butler about it, so maybe that’s on us, but there just didn’t seem to be many menu items for toddlers. There is no shortage of snacks the butlers bring for you, but they’re mostly filler (crackers, cheese, desserts, bowls of popcorn… mostly things you don’t want to eat every day), so it largely went to waste. Next time we’ll be more upfront about what they shouldn’t bother bringing to us (though fresh fruit was always nice to have). The Alexandra resort next door has a smoothie truck which we stopped at every day when we stayed there, and I don’t think Beaches offers something similar to that, and they probably should. We split our time between the beach and pool areas. The Key West pools and beach were very quiet, so if you want quiet time, those are the places to be. The Italian Village pool seemed to be the main party pool. The pool at the new Treasure Beach section was also very nice and fun, and the pool layout was unique. We had a good time at both. One thing I noticed here is that there is very little beach and pool drink service. Our entire week I think we only saw one person come around to serve drinks. If you think you’ll get a ton of service at your chair, you’ll be disappointed (though to be fair, there’s usually a bar nearby). The people working at this resort were excellent. Our butlers Jean and Romario were absolutely wonderful and attentive to our family’s needs, and our 2yo daughter was excited to see them every day (there was no shortage of special treats for her when our butlers came around). We even ran into an old butler friend Makare from South Coast—it was great to see him, and he even spent some time helping us while we were lost wandering the property one night. The entertainment crew does a wonderful job, and there’s no shortage of things for kids to do. We especially enjoyed the Sesame Street events, such as the dance show, parade, cookie baking with the Cookie Monster, and the character breakfast—our daughter had a blast dancing with everyone, and they all took their time to give her attention and take pictures. We didn’t try the kids camp daycare stuff, but wouldn’t hesitate to do so next time—the kids seemed like they were having fun and were well taken care of. The silent disco is always a blast--we do it at every resort. Huge shoutouts to Pauline (from Pinta), Roodine (our photographer), Cece (dive master), Andre (Mario’s), Nicholas and David (from Sopadillas), and Narissa and KerryAnne (Key West spa)—all of them contributed to make our trip wonderful. We’ll see them all again!

Just came back from an incredible 6 night vacation at this stunning and special resort. The grounds were gorgeous and well maintained with so many things to do! We loved the food at the Pinta, but didn’t have a bad meal anywhere. A special shoutout to the entertainment team who brought the talent and energy and made the trip even more memorable!

Just returned from another amazing family vacation at Beaches Turks & Caicos. We have been going here since 2009 and its the great hospitality we receive and knowing our family is safe on property that keeps us returning. The resort caters to people of all ages. Entertainment was awesome. Food was amazing and the new Butch's Resaturant was absolutely delicious and a great addition to Beaches. We are already counting down the days for our next return.

This was our first all-inclusive experience and I have to say that we were impressed. We stayed in the French Village and while it is one of the older villages, we loved the pool and easy access to the water park. Our kids, 12 yo and 9 yo, had a blast at the water park each day going down the slides or lazy river. The food was fine, but I do wish there were more salad options and kid friendly options at some of the restaurants. Our favorite dinner spot was Barefoot by the Sea. The staff were great and did not rush us out. The snapper and shrimp were awesome and you literally sit with your feet in the sand. Lunch options are minimal unless you go to a sit down restaurant. The bartenders at the swim up bar in the French Village were the BEST- they were friendly, attentive and funny. The nightly entertainment was a highlight of our trip. The Open Air Theater is right in the French Village so it was great to go after dinner and see the shows. Although, it can get very loud if you're staying in that area so bring a sound machine. Our favorite night activities were Family Game Show, the Talent Show, the Fire and Aerial show and the Silent Headphone party. The staff made everything so much fun and it was so special for our family to experience together. We will definitely be back!
