This Beaches Turks and Caicos review was updated on April 12, 2021.
Thanks to Social Media on the Sand — a social media conference that takes place at the beautiful Beaches Turks & Caicos property, literally on the sand — we’ve stayed at Beaches Turks & Caicos a couple of times.
Full disclosure before we dive into this review: we were hosted at a discounted rate for a few nights. Then, at our personal expense, we extended our stays both times so we could really sink our teeth into Providenciales and experience everything Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa had to offer.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: top tips
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE AT THE TURKS AND CAICOS BEACHES RESORT:
- Book your free family photo session with SnapShots: http://www.beaches.com/extras/
- Or if you’re looking for an elevated photo shoot, the EPIX Studio at Beaches is incredible
- Check out the Beaches Turks & Caicos restaurants and do some planning (since some are adult only, some are open only for dinner, etc.)
- Cribs and high chairs are available! Let your reservationist know to ensure they’re waiting in your room when you arrive
- Pack for a Purpose
AFTER YOU CHECK-IN AT BEACHES TURKS AND CAICOS:
- Make a reservation at Kimono’s the day you arrive. Like, before you even go to your room!
- Grab a copy of the restaurant schedule when you check in, which shows the restaurants that are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day that week
- Take plain white T-shirts for the family tie-dye activity (we bought ours at Michael’s for about $4)
- Every Sunday night there’s a “White Party,” so bring your best beach-worthy duds in white if you want to join in the fun
- Pick up daily schedules at your village’s lobby desk after breakfast (think exercise schedules, kids’ club activities and resort-wide theme parties and shows)
- You can buy ANYTHING you need (from sunglasses, rashguards and SPF to notepads to evening wear) onsite at Beaches, so if you forget anything or prefer to buy sunscreen when you land so you don’t have to check your luggage, it’ll be there! (Just note that it doesn’t come cheap)
- See the culinary concierge to let him know that a member of your party has dietary needs (gluten-, nut-, dairy- or egg-free, etc.)
And with that? Let’s do this.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: the villages
There are four distinct villages at Beaches Turks and Caicos, and you’ll want to know a bit about each of them before you book your luxury vacation. Each has its own unique vibe, its own restaurants and pools and some are more upscale than others.
- Italian Village — We didn’t stay here, but we spent a LOT of time in this village. It felt like you’d been whisked away to Capri and happened upon the best private party. Every day. The pool was always hopping with music and activities, busy with people of all ages, and housed the most efficient swim-up bar in the resort. The accommodations, at least from the outside, looked ultra-luxe and the entire area just felt like a step up. It offers the most central access to the whole resort, with Pirate Island nestled between it and the French Village
- Key West Village — It’s sooooo Key West. So chill, so subtly ritzy. Although it’s just feet from the Italian Village, it feels a thousand miles away. The booming energy from the Italian drops the minute you enter the Key West Village and is instantly replaced with harmonious tranquility. This used to be an entirely separate resort until Beaches purchased it and gave it a facelift. Many of the accommodations are two-floor butler suites, and several have their own dip-pools in the front yards (um, yeah: they have actual YARDS over here!). It’s peaceful and feels the most high-end overall
- Caribbean Village — We stayed in the Salt Cay Villages in this section of the resort, which is at the opposite end from Key West and offers low-rise hotel-style accommodations as well as these adorable bungalows on the grassy areas in the middle of the village. It was the first set of accommodations the Beaches ever had, from what I understand, and they were updated last year. It’s a nice village even if it doesn’t feel particularly luxurious, and it does have a definite Caribbean flair. There’s a LOT going on in this village, with several restaurants, easy beach access and the closest proximity to the evening beach party zone
- French Village — I swear it feels like you’ve stepped into a little pocket of France when you make your way to this area of the resort. There are little wrought-iron tables for outdoor dining, a café that has that whole Parisian patisserie thing going on and a French restaurant that’s wall-to-wall bistro-kitsch. The tile maps throughout the village lend to its overall je ne c’est quoi. We spent a lot of time here because the pool was really quiet and we could let our kids comfortably play in the water at more than an arm’s-reach distance, and we frequented Café de Paris at least once a day. All of the rooms were mid-renovation during our stay, which then re-opened in 2016. The one downside is that it’s the farthest walk to the beach — but we’re only talking five minutes or so
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: accommodations
Our room was at the concierge level (cost-wise, it sits between “deluxe” and “butler”), and it worked really well for our needs thanks to the separate bedroom. Although I’d prefer that the kids have their own bathroom to use so they don’t need to wander into our room at 6:20 a.m. when their little bodies can no longer wait another minute to pee, I’ll take a separate bedroom any day of the week.
Being able to stay up and read, watch TV or scroll Facebook using the resort’s free WiFi is only possible this way (well, unless you sit outside on your balcony should you be sharing a room…but I’d rather lie in bed, thanks — especially if you want some “special” mommy and daddy time).
Your room category determines the extra levels of service available: concierge and butler. If you don’t need anything fancy and you’re OK with a basic room, then the deluxe option will work just fine for you. However, if you like a more personal (or private) check-in, then the upper two categories will suit you better.
The butler suites come with an actual human butler that attends to your needs throughout your stay, and it also guarantees you one of the beautiful, shaded cabanas surrounding the four main pools. If I ever win the lottery, I’ll be booking a butler suite. You can count on it.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: food & beverages
With 21 restaurants throughout the resort, if you can’t find something you like to eat, then my guess is that you never do anywhere. You should really look inwards for the problem.
As I mentioned in another post about the best dishes at Beaches Turks & Caicos, the food was very good. Certainly in the top five for any resort we’ve ever visited (with Grand Velas, The Grand at Moon Palace and Club Med Punta Cana taking top spots, with Sandals Ochi up there too); this is really impressive considering the sheer number of guests they’re serving every day. It’s a mix of buffet and a la carte, with the a la cartes winning in terms of food quality and variety.
Although I’m not a picky eater by any stretch, I do suffer from food snobbery and if I can find 19 meals about which were worth writing an entirely separate post, you can trust that the food is great. And unlike most resorts where the food cycle is very clearly a seven-night-long rotation, because there are so many options here, you could stay longer and not feel any repetition. It’s important to mention, too, that we saw many couples sans kids at Beaches. Really! And with two adult-only restaurants (Le Petit Chateau and Sapodillas), as well as an adult-only pool, it wouldn’t be too hard to stay away from noisy families like mine.

The only real complaint I can make about the food at Beaches Turks & Caicos boils down to buffet selections; they don’t really vary from one restaurant to the next during breakfast so if you don’t want to eat oatmeal or eggs and bacon every morning, I suggest you figure out when the a la cartes are open for breakfast and be sure to put those on your agenda for the day. I would have happily avoided all of the breakfast buffets.
As it goes with all-inclusives, there’s no reason to carry around a wallet just because you need to whet your whistle. Whether you want a Heineken or a Hummingbird — or a custom blender drink for the kids — there’s a bar at every turn and in just about every pool. Brands are top-shelf and not watered down. The servers pour responsibly but aren’t averse to a double shot if you ask.
In addition to being a food snob, I’m also something of a wine snob and I have a pretty big crush on California reds, so it was nice to have the option of a Robert Mondavi cab with dinner — a rare sighting at an all-inclusive. My darling husband wanted to woo me one night and procured a bottle of bubbly, just by asking.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: pools
There are big pools, small pools, family-friendly pools, adult-only pools, loud pools, fun pools, quiet pools. There are a lot of pools and they all have their own personalities. Many of them also have poolside service, so you can refill your cocktail without ever needing to move.
Find the one you like best and stake a claim on some loungers (using towels) that will be shady by the time afternoon hits. Then feel free to wander around to any of the other pools or spend hours at Pirate Island before returning. We toggled between the French and Italian pools primarily because they were polar opposites and situated perfectly on either side of Pirate Island where my kids wanted to spend the bulk of their time. More on that in a moment.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: activities
Much like restaurants, if you can’t find sometime to occupy your time at Beaches Turks & Caicos then you might want to do some introspection. There are ENDLESS activities here! These are just a few of things you can do (for free, sometimes requiring sign-up in advance):
- Snorkelling
- SCUBA diving (certified divers can do a two-tank dive per day, while non-divers can take a resort certification and go out once a day)
- Glass-bottom boat trip
- Sailing (hobie cats and lasers)
- Stand-up paddleboarding
- Windsurfing
- Aqua-trikes
- Croquet
- Basketball
- Fitness classes like Zumba and yoga
- XBOX Play Lounge
- Club Liquid for tweens and teens
- Special kids’ club activities
PIRATE ISLAND
If you’ve ever been to a big waterpark, picture that, improve upon it and place it in the middle of one of the most beautiful resorts in the Caribbean. OK, got that? That’s Pirate Island.
Waterslides of all sizes, a lazy river, geyser play areas and a pirate ship with nooks, crannies and sprinklers. Oh, and only the coolest wave simulator where you and your kids can boogie board. The only thing missing is a wave pool. All you need to know is that Pirate Island is awesome and if your kids are anything like mine, you’ll spend 60 per cent or more of your vacation here. And with a kids’ swim-up bar and Bobby D’s restaurant serving up pizza, burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets and fries from 11 a.m. until 6 a.m. — yes, you read correctly — there may be no reason to ever leave.
THE BEACH AND OCEAN

I can’t possibly write about Turks & Caicos without mentioning the most spectacular beach upon which I’ve ever set foot. And I’ve seen some pretty spectacular beaches between the Caribbean and South East Asia. Think white sands of Aruba but cool to the touch mixed with the calm waters of Ocho Rios — a turquoise colour the likes of which is unmatched. (Side note: I actually had to use Instagram filters as I was posting to properly match the colour of the water.)
The visibility for diving and snorkelling is excellent, and there’s actually pretty great snorkelling right off the shore if you’re too nervous to jump into open water! The water temperature sat around 84 degrees, and I dove down to 80 feet in only a rashguard and bikini bottoms and never once got a chill. If you can afford a trip to Turks and Caicos, this beach and this ocean are definitely worth experiencing.
SESAME STREET
Here’s the deal: my kids haven’t grown up watching Sesame Street (sacrilege, I know; I was a HUGE Sesame Street fan growing up — now there’s just too much choice on TV). But anticipating that we would be at Beaches surrounded by all these characters, I started putting the show on Netflix a good month before we arrived. I wanted them to at least know the character’s names. And what do you know? They loved it.
My next concern was that I’d gotten them all pumped up and perhaps they’d only get a glimpse of the characters once or twice the week we were there. What actually happened? I was blown away. The characters were everywhere, every day. They were in shows, they came by the pools for impromptu dance parties, they wandered through the villages and made appearances at the watersports area.
Seriously — we saw them every single day and they were incredible with every child. (Even the Stage 5 Clingers.) Big B was even invited up on stage (in front of the entire resort!) during the Beach Party. My kids got more hugs than I could count from every character. If your kid is a die-hard Sesame Street fanatic, they’re going to lose their marbles at Beaches Resorts.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: gratuities
While most all-inclusives tell you in the brochure that tipping is included, at Beaches Resorts, they really mean it. In fact, you’ll make staffers feel awkward if you try to leave a tip. I love this because it means you can truly check your wallet into the safe when you arrive and not touch it until you leave. And it also means that everyone, every single guest, gets the same treatment at bars and restaurants; there’s no inching up the queue because you’ve produced a crisp $5 bill for the bartender-on-duty.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: kids’ club
Let me preface this by saying that, during both of our stays at Beaches Turks, we heard one account after another about how much the other kids we travelled with LOVED the kids’ club. My kids are generally hesitant to go into someone’s care they’ve never met, but are known to warm up quickly and settle in. But it wasn’t in the cards, it seems, at Beaches.
One morning, we sent them off to the kids’ club (together — because thankfully they’re in the same age group) for a couple of hours while I was in a conference session and Big B went snorkelling. When I saw them later that day, they didn’t sound too excited to talk about their experience. One night we wanted to try one of the adult-only restaurants and convinced them to have dinner with the kids’ club because they take the kids to Mario’s and that was one of Miss Q and The K Man’s favourite restaurants. This didn’t go over as planned either and neither of them wanted to return to the kids’ club during the rest of our stay, which was fine with us since we were there to have a family vacation anyway.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: excursions
We went on the Kitty Kat catamaran tour through Island Routes, which took us snorkelling near the barrier reef (the third-largest in the world), over to Iguana Island and then we anchored about 200 feet away from the Beaches dock and guests could jump off the side of the catamaran into the ocean.
Overall, it was a good trip — but is it worth US$360 for a family of four? No. The snorkelling was just OK (there was more to see right off the beach) and we only spotted about four iguanas on Iguana Island — don’t get me wrong, they were BIG and it was pretty cool to see them in their natural habitat, but I was expecting to see iguanas everywhere!
By far the most amazing part of the tour was when we could jump into open water, and both of my kids opted to give it a try. No lifejackets — pretty impressive for 4.5 and 7 year olds! Especially considering the drop was a good 10 or 12 feet from boat to water. Seeing them each overcome their fears in a single boat ride (they were both too scared to get out and snorkel) was a magical moment for me and I’m glad we bit the bullet and paid for this excursion just for this sliver of the tour.
Beaches Turks and Caicos review: price
It would be unfair of me to wrap up this post without talking pricing.
Before we arrived in Provo, I was really curious if the approximate US$1,000 per night cost to stay at Beaches (at least in the Turks & Caicos location) would be good value. I mean, that’s a lot of dough. This is one of those vacations that many families would have to save for at least a year or two to afford. So to help paint a picture of why it’s so expensive, let me tell you what it’s like to stay at a regular hotel and pay for your meals, snacks, drinks and activities in Providenciales — because we’ve done that, too:
- Hotels/non-all-inclusive resorts: you’re not going to find a Motel 6 on this island. Even the two-star hotels will run you a good US$250 per night. If you want a four-star, you’re looking at more in the US$450-600+ per night range
- Food: because everything has to be imported, food is insanely expensive. Take, for example, the trip we made to the local IGA one day to grab two 6-packs of beer, one bottle of red wine, one bag of potato chips and one box of granola bars. The bill was US$97! REALLY. We also drove out into the middle of nowheresville to have lunch on the beach one day before we arrived at Beaches, and lunch (LUNCH!) for four of us was US$150. Now multiply this for breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks for children who have hollow legs and you’re talking hundreds a day just to eat
- Activities: if you SCUBA dive, it’s about US$150 for a two-tank dive; if you want to go paddleboarding, you have to rent a paddleboard at your hotel for US$40 per stay. Yoga is another US$25 a pop
This is the tip of the iceberg. Cabs are also astonishingly pricey, and you have to get yourself at least to and from the airport and then around town if you don’t want to eat only at your hotel restaurant.
All this to say that once we arrived at Beaches Turks and Caicos and we could give our wallets a break, I understood why this particular property is the most expensive of the three. Once I did the math, $1,000 a night made a whole lot more sense. And, at the end of the day, Grace Bay is one of the most spectacular beaches in the world — and experiences like that don’t normally come with a discount.

Corie says
Just came back from our second trip to Beaches Turks and Caicos. The food is AWFUL! Nothing fresh and I couldn’t find a good meal in any restaurant. All of the fish is frozen and the quality is low low low. If you can survive on frozen pizza then it is for you. They have decent alcohol but it is all watered down. The wine is undrinkable. It is very over priced and you have to add $3000 for a butler if you want dinner reservations anywhere in the resort. The scuba diving is good (and included) but you get better service when you are paying for the diving. Go somewhere else! Trust me!!
Mommy Gearest says
So sorry to hear you had such a bad experience – how disappointing when you’ve spent so much money and used vacation days. The above was generally not our experience, but resorts and management change. I agree with the diving; experienced divers will be glad to have diving included but won’t find it as amazing as diving with an external outfit (like Provo Turtle Divers, for example). Which other resorts have you been to that you’ve loved?
KinPhilly says
Wow…been there 5 times and never an experience like that. We’re foodies and enjoy excellent restaurants in Philadelphia. Found almost ever restaurant good to very good and several to be excellent. Neptunes in Keywest served me the most tender, perfectly cooked, 3inch filet mignon I’ve ever had. Seafood at Schooner is excellent, and I’m not sure where you got frozen pizza as they have a couple pizza restaurants with brick ovens and they make the pizza fresh in front of you. None of the alcohol we had was watered down, they even stock your room with full fifths of booze, gratis. And the only restaurant we ever had to make a reservation for in 5 trips is Kimonos because they have specific seating times. I’ll admit the wine could be better, you can upgrade for a fee at some restaurants. But the house is no longer Beringer, they changed a couple years ago to something better. Planning trip number 6.
Mommy Gearest says
I have to agree with you. I am a food snob and found the food anywhere from very good to excellent depending on the restaurant. Drinks were absolutely not watered down and the ONLY reason you would need a dinner reservation is for Kimono’s. I wonder if we are even talking about the same resort?!? I’m going back next month (hopefully — depending on Irma’s destruction) and can’t wait.

Mommy Gearest says
Thank you so much…I love hearing that. I think it’s important to discuss the positives and negatives – because my negatives may not be yours, but also because nothing is perfect. Though Beaches comes darn close.

So helpful to have such a detailed review! Wil def consider for a family-friendly vacation!
stevegriswold says
Beaches Turks and Caicos was amazing! Being able to just order and drink what I wanted without getting some massive bill at the end of my vacation was ideal! Turks was an amazing island and doing Beaches resort worked out well for us and our two girls. They want to go back already. I found the Mouse Chatters review of Beaches resort very helpful and we are so happy we went all inclusive on this vacation.

He sure is! We missed him but apparently he’s about 40 years old now and still hangs out around Club Med!!

Now *that* is a review! If I ever had any doubts about Sandals being on my travel Bucket List, I don’t now! It sounds (and looks) idyllic. Great pics, and I really appreciate the level of detail in your review… telling me what I need to do the first day I arrive, etc. I hope I get to go one day!
Mommy Gearest says
I hope you get to go too! Everyone should experience a Beaches or Sandals at least once.
Lisa says
It’s definitely on my bucket list, Mama!! 🙂

Great review. Just return myself from Beaches T&C with husband, 4 year old and another family. My child interestingly has the SAME reaction to the Kids Camp. She went 4 mornings but didn’t love it and was not thrilled. Strange. We managed to avoid a wicked virus going around the hotel. Not the fault of the hotel. Some kid was hacking and sneezing over mine at the camp–can’t be helped in that environment.
Best resort I have been to for families, best beach. GREAT review and THANK YOU so much for the costing at the end of blog. Helps make sense of the high costs. Dang that USD-CAD conversion.

I suppose the kids are like us — not everything suits us. And when it comes to viruses, with that many people coming in and out of a resort on a daily basis, I suspect it’s hard to know the root cause or prevent germs from being passed around. I’m sure they do everything they possibly can! I think the costing section was a much for a hotel like this…just to show that it’s the location and not just the property that contributes. 🙂

What a fabulous and thorough post. I’ve never been to such a resort so this sounds amazing. I want to be on that beach! Wasn’t Canada going to buy Turks and Caico’s? Why did it fall through, lol?

Alright sign me up for that Butler suite as well! Great review and I’m glad to hear the food and activities were plenty to keep most happy – that’s always a concern of mine! Totally see why Beaches ranks pretty high on most lists!

Wow! What a dreamy vacation location for a family trip. I’ve been to Turks and Caicos but only via cruise ship – this looks like another reason to go back. Thank you for the detailed post I really feel like I understand the ins and outs of the resort.
