| With kids thx! |
| We just had a great week at Beaches in December. If you go, stay at the Italian Village. Definitely the nicest part of the resort, and all the rooms are family suites with a separate bedroom for the kids. |
|
Ocean Club and Ocean Club West are family friendly and nice - and more reasonable than a lot of the places there.
We'd love to go to Beaches at some point but it's always been prohibitively expensive whenever I've looked. |
| Not OP but going to Beaches in 2 weeks. Anything you wish you had known, like to pack or not pack, or whatever? We have a 3.5 YO and 17MO. |
| Seven stars. Do not subject yourself to Beaches |
| If you want to save money, the Comfort Inn there is actually nice and we're kind of used to staying in super nice hotels for work. |
Want a nanny to come along and help with your kids? I want to go!
|
| Bohio Resort in Grand Turk is having a sale right now, it's a dive resort and they can arrange a babysitter. |
|
Regent palms or Grace Bay Club -high end
royal west indies resort - more budget friendly but still nice |
Double and triple love the ocean clubs. Low key, family friendly, reasonably priced. And you get your own apartment so you aren't forced to eat at a middling restaurant for breakfast. |
Where/how do you buy groceries? |
| If I remember correctly there is one decent grocery store on the island. Maybe a couple other small markets. We rented a car for a couple days, got some groceries and explored the island, then returned the car and spent the rest of the trip just hanging out on the beach. |
what's the problem with beaches? |
| If you walk the beach at Grace Bay, Beaches appears to be hell on earth compared to the rest of it. Crowded and full of "amateur" vacationers. There is no need to do an All Inclusive on Provo. It is safe, most accomodations have kitchens and Beaches is ridiculosuly expensive when you compare it to the other resorts on the island. You are paying high dollar for a Holiday Inn room. I understand that it is child centered, but there are many child friendly places on the island, they just dont subject adult guests to Elmo and the gang. |
There's a store on the island and you can take a cab there and back. It's expensive (island prices) relatively but so worth it. Also the ocean clubs all have communal grills outside so you can grill anything you want with ease. |
