Romance on the family plan - Turks & Caicos

Once you start having children, you begin to feel you will never have that alone-time for romance again. But there is a win-win solution for parents who don't want to abandon their kids but also want some romantic couple time, Beaches Resorts.

At any Beaches Resort in the Caribbean, the dual theme is fun for the kids and family, and romance and pampering for Mom and Dad.

Being totally all-inclusive, not only can you truly leave your cash and credit cards at home, but you can leave all the planning, scheduling, and worrying as well, because Beaches "has you covered."

Not only are all the accommodations, food, drinks, and recreation covered, but also the air (if you like), transportation, tipping, and even the kid's childcare services. But it isn't like traditional childcare, it is fun, lots and lots of fun. Fun organized by nannies and counselors, and in the security of their own on-site recreation area. They play, create, nap, and even eat with Sesame Street characters, and by certified childcare workers where our kid's health and happiness is their only concern. There is no limit, it is up to you and the kids how often and for how long the kids can stay (most hate to leave).

When we go to a Beaches Resort, my family knows they can leave all their worries and cares behind and just plan on having fun.

At Turks and Caicos, the beach is long and white, and the ocean crystal clear and blue. Along the beach you will find every possible watercraft or sport available - all for your use. My favorite is the glass bottom boat; even scuba diving is included.

There are 10 restaurants at the resorts, from the most casual to a couple more toward dressing for dinner (none are too formal). Food is available somewhere at the resort at all times, again at no charge. Pools, beverages, and adult drinking bars are strategically placed everywhere a guest might be.

My kids love the arts & crafts facility, my son loves the game room that compares with any arcade, and it too is at no cost with no limits of use.

The spa is the place parents can go to be pampered, and you can even have a massage right there on the beach.

You can exchange vows, or have a moonlight dinner on the beach, just ask. They literally will do everything in their power to meet your every desire.
