[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Not OP but Beaches is a zoo.  I have no idea why people LOVE that place.  I understand you can do a lot of stuff cause it's huge and they have everything but I can't relax where there's a zillion people there.  Esp as Turks offers one of the most beautiful beaches - not sure why you'd be all over the pools and even on the beach - it just is crazy.  [/b]It depends on what you like - lots of people love Disney World so if you don't mind crowds, you might enjoy it.   There's other places in Turks that are family oriented resorts, Beaches specifically caters to families however.  But for the same price you could go to Grace Bay Club or Seven Stars too - on a better beach location as well. [/quote]

[b]Have you ever been there? Because it doesn't sound like it. We were just there a few months ago - stayed over Thanksgiving, the resort was fully booked (we tried to upgrade and found this out), and every day we sat on a stretch of beautiful, deserted beach. Tons of empty chairs all around us (we chose the beach that stretches to the left of Caribbean Village if you're facing the ocean). Drinks service was very prompt and the beaches were clean. The pools were more crowded in the morning but not by the time we usually swung by around at 3:30-4 before dinner. Never had to save chairs or wait in any lines, etc.[/b]

Now I will concede that the food isn't that great. It's decent. Not bad but not great. We liked it though because our kids genuinely enjoyed the kids' club, wanted to go, and left us to eat in peace. You can actually get great meals at Disney World depending on where you go.[/quote]

This was our experience as well. I don't know what the PP's are talking about with it being overly crowded. It's a very spread out resort. I never felt that it was crowded at all, like Disney World for example. Even if lounging by the pool is your thing (which, why fly all that way and miss the beautiful ocean? There have a bunch of different, large pools).

AIs are good for when you have really young kids (like 8 and under) but after they aged out of kids' clubs we preferred to do our own thing and find restaurants via Yelp, etc.[/quote]
