Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa

Four 1/2 stars. I had a really nice mommy daughter trip (ages 8 and 10). Stayed in a concierge King room in Key West. Room was very dated and very tight and I would not recommend you try to fit 3 - the pullout was a joke. That said we spent no time in the room. All inclusive, regardless of how nice it’s supposed to be, will have significant drawbacks. Restaurants are really, really slow. Even waits to sit down for the buffet, so plan ahead. Food was passable, with our best meal probably at Sky for breakfast, Mario’s for breakfast buffet, and the sushi place for dinner. Girls tried out the kids club and they liked it for short periods. Beach and grounds are absolutely gorgeous and well-maintained. Waterpark was really fun and we spent a few hours there each day. Even though it was a crowded holiday week the waits for the slides weren’t too bad. The biggest issue we had was finding towels. People holding chairs is a problem at lots of resorts, but the lack of towels was absolutely baffling to me. I would have to walk around to the different villages on the hunt for towels. Given the size of this resort, it was a great inconvenience. Overall it’s a really fun place that has something for everyone. I’d recommend for groups of families or a family reunion type of event.

The most beautiful family accommodating resort we have ever been to. The food was great, staff was always happy and smiling, and it seemed like there was always something to do. We did the snorkel tour and iguana island which was ok but didn’t realize there was a good place to snorkel if you walked down the beach a little ways. The beds did seem a little small and not the most comfortable in the French village that we stayed in but that would be my only negative throughout the whole trip. Hope to come back again!!

Location Turks & Caicos is obviously a beautiful island. The water and beaches are incredible. Beaches resort is about 20 minutes away from the airport, set on one of these beautiful beaches. Atmosphere The resort is quite large. It takes a good 10-15 minutes to walk it from end-to-end. Since it's a family resort, expect lots of kids but due to the sheer size you never feel crowded. Rooms We did a split stay due to room availability. Our first half were in the new Treasure Beach section. This section is gorgeous. Rooms are designed and built for modern travelers. Plenty of charging ports, sleek glass showers, toilets is a separate stalls, double sinks, etc... The Treasure Beach section is also currently the most popular attracting many guests from other areas to spend the day which crowds this section more than others. The second half of our stay was in a Caribbean Village Honeymoon Deluxe room. This is by far the worst way to describe this room. Nothing was Deluxe, nor honeymoon-ish. It was simply awful. I've stayed in Comfort Inn's nicer than this. The entire room is tiled with large grout lines. All of the grout way stained in a rainbow of colors. The bottom third of the bathroom door was swollen with moisture/mold. The shower curtain rod was in such bad shape (pulled out) that you couldn't keep the water in the tub while showering. Mold everywhere in the bathroom. Corners, tub, walls, shower curtain. The obviously made the whole room smell. The AC unit had an extremely loud fan that didn't really cool, so it ran (like a jet engine) 24/7. The pillows were older than I am. It was sold on their website as having beer/wine in the fridge, none of which were there. Just plain bad. I requested a room change/upgrade (willing to pay more) but was consistently shut down by their Director of Customer Service due to a sold-out resort with no availability. This room was so bad, we cut our stay short and left the property to go stay somewhere else. Upon leaving (taxi waiting), the manager offers a new room to get us to stay. This after being told there was no availability 5 times by their Director. We still left. Food For an all-inclusive the food is adequate. Since most restaurants are sit-down, a-la-carte, it gives it a nice atmosphere but the food is just a step above buffet food. The food service staff are mostly mediocre. They don't want to be there and it shows. Ask for a table at a nearly empty restaurant (20-30 empty tables), and they will make you wait a minimum of 10 minutes while they look for a table. Happened three times. And it has to be noted the Guissepe's in the French Village is quite possible the worst food imaginable. It's supposed to be an Italian buffet. There's a total of five dishes, one of which is curried goat for some reason. The pizza at this location is of the frozen soggy variety, even though other restaurants on site offer decent pizza. Entertainment Travelling with two teenagers, Beaches offers decent entertainment. The nights typically had something that kept us busy for a couple hours.

Beautiful water and sand best place to vacay with family and friends! Visited many restaurants on Grace Bay! If you’re lucky to find Lindsay and Ali cooking on the beach great food and drinks!

Easy 4 hour flight from the Midwest and most speak English and are friendly. Felt very safe and rarely saw any police vehicles. Highly recommend renting a car for there is no public transportation or Uber/Lift service and taxis are unreliable and expensive. Expect to pay 2-3X for groceries and dining out. Beaches on the east side (Grace Bay) are wide, long and beautiful with most tours leaving from there. The west side beaches are also beautiful!
