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.
Accommodations
The newest renovations saw the building of the French Village. This unique area is home to over 160 deluxe rooms that surround a French 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
Most of the areas in the resort are now decorated in a French style, from the lobby to the courtyard. Probably the most impressive feature that came out of the renovations is an incredible 4000-square-foot swimming pool with bar and bandstand. Be careful not to lose the kids here because it's massive.
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.
Cons
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.
That being said, if your goal is a fun family vacation and you don't mind a couple of pretty minor inconveniences, this will be an ideal resort for your stay. Your kids will have a great time, and accommodations are pretty special - as well as the area itself.
