No matter where you head for a family fun vacation, the hotel or resort in which you stay can make or break the prospect of a relaxing trip. Among your many exciting travel options, Beaches Turks and Caicos should be one of your considerations.
Beaches Turks and Caicos underwent a $100 million renovation project about 5 years ago and the resort has since gone from the unknown to a major family-friendly destination.
To find out more about the resort, who it’s targeted toward and how it measures up, read on for a broad overview.
Targeted Clientele
As a Beaches resort, Beaches Turks and Caicos is all about appealing to families. Their villas in the French village are their most popular family option, allowing parents and children to share a space with multiple bedrooms.
If you’re planning to visit this resort as a couple, you may want to think again as the majority of guests are families and the activities tend to be targeted toward kids and family-friendly activities.
The Rooms
The French Village features 166 deluxe rooms which are divided among several buildings that encircle the large courtyard.
They’re decorated in old French style and all the rooms come with their own patio or balcony. Unfortunately, the deluxe rooms are still rather small, especially if you’re sharing with the kids.
Resort Areas
A porte cochere welcomes guests to the reception area, which is decorated in the same style as the guest rooms. The large courtyard serves as the primary public area for this part of the property. It features a 4,000-square-foot swimming pool with a swim-up bar, bandstand, three new restaurants and a French-themed bar.
Guests also have access to all the amenities offered by the main property, including a 900-square-foot European spa and salon, a fitness center that features top-of-the-line cardiovascular equipment and free weights, and two large meeting rooms seating up to 200 people theater-style, 150 classroom-style and 120 banquet-style.
The Food
Thanks to its new French theme, there are now three French a la carte restaurants here. The first is Cafe de Paris, which just serves pastries, light treats and coffee. The second is Le Petit Chateau which is an upscale French dining facility with a dress code. The last is Guiseppe’s which offers Italian and French fusion food.
Guests also have the option of dining in any one of the six restaurants located at the main property. Choices range from Teppanyaki-style Japanese cuisine at Kimonos to elegantly served Caribbean delights at Sapodilla’s to pizza and fries for the kids at Bobby D’s.
Drawbacks
There was no resort information (descriptions and locations of restaurants, facility hours, etc.) in the guest rooms at Beaches Turks and Caicos resort. Some guests have also experienced minor plumbing problems like low water pressure in showers. In addition, this is definitely a family resort and shouldn’t be considered for a romantic getaway.
