I was lucky enough to be invited to Beaches Turks and Caicos, and even though it was only for three days I was determined to see as much of the village as possible.

The flight via Miami was uneventful and arrived late in the evening, there is a direct flight once a week but as I was only going for three days this was not possible.The Beaches’ staff were on hand to get us to the property and checked in as quickly as possible. My room was in the French Village area of the property and of a size that would comfortably cater for a family of four. The room had one King bed , a single sofa bed , and trundle bed that pulled out from beneath the sofa bed. Some of the rooms can accommodate up to 11 people. The French Village is the furthest area from the beach which is not a problem as it is the nearest to the Pirates Island Waterpark. This park covers 45,000 sq ft and is the largest of its kind in the Caribbean.

The Caribbean Village is nearer the beach and again the standard rooms can sleep a family of four and the suites can cater for up to 8 people. Finally the Italian Village is the newest area and is the closest to the beach. The rooms there can cater for families of 4 up to families of 12; ideal for Grandparents, Parents and Grandchildren.

Bobby Dee’s is an 50’s style diner that served Pizza’s, Burgers, Shakes, ice creams and Sodas. The service was quick and the food piping hot and tasty. This diner is aimed at the teenage and child markets as it is near one of the children’s pools. All the food and drink is included in the cost unless otherwise stated.

I did attempt to visit all of the 16 dining locations but only managed 8 of them. My favourite was ‘Kimonos’ a Japanese restaurant that has to be seen to be believed. The chefs prepare and cook the food at your table whilst singing and dancing. You have to make a reservation for Kimonos but it is well worth it. For those with a sweet tooth Cafe De Paris is for you, a French Patisserie with many tasty treats and a variety of coffees.
For the children you have kids clubs for all ages from the fully staffed crèche for 0-11 months to the Xbox lounge for the older children and teenagers, every age is covered.
The Red Lane Spa comes at a supplement but is excellent value for the peace and relaxation of the massage and steam rooms.

For a trip away from the property try the Kitty Katt cruise which leaves the beach and is a party cruise for all the family. Drinks, Music and food are supplied but again this is at an extra cost and not included in the all inclusive option. This cruise takes you out and allows you to snorkel, swim and zip down the waterslide. This was a good day out and again well worth the cost.

Overall I would recommend this property to everyone. There is so much to keep everybody occupied no one will be bored or overlooked.
