Beaches Resorts
Every resort, ranked
Beaches is what you get when the Sandals machine is pointed at families: the same genuinely-included formula (unlimited dining, premium drinks, water sports, transfers, tips) with waterparks, supervised kids' camps, teen hangouts, and Sesame Street character programming layered on top. The childcare is the quiet differentiator: staff are trained and certified for autism and special-needs care, which very few resort chains take as seriously.

The portfolio is small (Negril and Ocho Rios in Jamaica, plus the flagship in Turks & Caicos), so choosing is less about which resort and more about which trip: Turks & Caicos brings the postcard beach and the biggest footprint at the biggest price; Jamaica brings shorter flights for the U.S. East Coast and gentler rates.

Book Beaches if

- Families who want the not-nickel-and-dimed version of all-inclusive
Know before you book
- Peak school-holiday weeks are lively and full; book early and don't expect quiet pools
- Only three resorts, so availability (and pricing) can be tight in high season
Island Insiders Club (formerly Sandals Select Rewards)
Beaches shares one loyalty program with its adults-only sibling Sandals: free to join, points per dollar, tier levels driven by cumulative nights across both brands. A family Beaches week and an anniversary Sandals week feed the same account.
- Member rates and periodic point-multiplier booking windows
- Tier perks (priority check-in, late check-out, member events) as nights accumulate
- 70 paid nights earns a free 7-night stay, reachable faster for families who travel yearly

Frequently asked questions
Is Beaches the same company as Sandals?
Yes. Beaches is Sandals Resorts' family brand. The all-inclusive plan is essentially the same Luxury Included formula, with kids' clubs, waterparks, and family suites in place of the couples-only setup.
Which Beaches resort is best for young kids?
All three are built for them, but they differ: Turks & Caicos has the biggest waterpark and kids' villages, while Negril is smaller and calmer with a legendary swimmable beach. Compare their family scores in the ranking above.
