Beaches Turks & Caicos — Amanda Perna | Designer | Author

To say we LOVE beaches Turks & Caicos is a huge understatement! From the second that you fly over the beautiful blue water as you approach the beautiful island, you are hooked! I have to admit, I was never the type of person who liked all inclusive resorts- until we stayed here!! We have been three times, and we really can not get enough!

There is food options for every kind of palate, and the staff works very hard to make sure that you are happy and comfortable even if you have dietary restrictions.

When you enter the resort, you are given a delicious welcome drink and there are toys for the little guests as you check in! The resort is broken down into different villages. We have stayed at both The Key West Village and the Italian Village.

The Italian Village is my absolute favorite because it is central to all the other villages, has direct beach access, a beautiful pool that has evening.

The last time we stayed our room was on the first floor, which I HIGHLY recommend. We could walk right in and out of our room to the pool.

I live in a beautiful beach town (Delray Beach to be exact) in South Florida, and have spent my whole life at the beach. But I have to say, the beaches here are unlike no other. The powder sand, crystal clear water really do help you escape from reality.

Our favorite restaurant is Neptunes- they have delicious, healthy options. It is right on the beach, and we just cant get enough.

Our other favorites are: Le Petit Chateau- This is for children over 12 and up so if you have little ones like we do, we usually order it to go and sit on the balcony of our room or on one of the benches and eat.

Kimonos is always a fun family option! It is a hibachi restaurant, and their food is delicious, and the chefs are spectacular.

There are two pizza places on resort, we love to go to Dinos for their sandwiches and take it on the beach with us. The Panino al Prosciutto which has fig spread and brie is so good that I think about it in between trips. Heres an insider tip- the airport has limited food options, so we always take sandwiches with us to go when we are leaving the resort.

For breakfast the buffet at Bayside is so wonderful, we love to sit and watch the ocean while we eat and relax.

We also love the breakfast at Schooners, the smoothie bowl is light and delicious, but if you would like something more decadent, the french toast is divine.

Now that your mouth is watering, we have to talk about one of the best parts of beaches, all of the events and programming for kids! There is the kids camp if you want to have some adult time alone, or they just want to go have fun and make new friends!

One of my daughter’s favorite things is getting to bake cookies with Cookie Monster, go to Elmo’s Birthday Party, but her ultimate favorite is the parade!! She loves getting to see all of her favorite characters, incredible dancers, and all of the spectacular costumes!
