The Beaches Experience

An All-Inclusive Designed for Families—Without the Stress

Beaches Resorts was created for families who want to travel together without managing every detail along the way.


This is not a basic family resort model. Beaches combines expansive inclusions, structured kids and teen programming, and thoughtfully designed resort layouts—so families, couples, and multigenerational groups can enjoy time together and space apart.


The result is a vacation that feels active, balanced, and surprisingly easy to manage.

Start Planning

Built for Families—Not Just Accommodating Them

Beaches resorts are intentionally designed for families of all sizes and ages. Rather than adding children’s amenities as an afterthought, Beaches builds the entire experience around shared time, age-appropriate activities, and flexibility.


Each resort offers:

  • Multiple dining venues and casual options 
  • Broad daily activity schedules 
  • Entertainment for all ages 
  • Spaces designed for families, teens, and adults
     

This structure allows families to enjoy time together without everyone needing to follow the same schedule.

Dining at Beaches

Dining Designed for Families - Without Compromise

Dining at Beaches Resorts is intentionally designed to serve families and groups without feeling limited or repetitive. Each resort offers a wide variety of restaurants—often up to 20 dining options depending on the property—allowing guests to enjoy everything from casual family meals to more refined dining experiences throughout their stay.

Menus span multiple cuisines and dining styles, with options that work just as well for young children as they do for teens, parents, and grandparents. This range allows families to dine together easily while still offering flexibility for different tastes and schedules.


Thoughtful Options for Every Age and Preferences

Beaches places a strong emphasis on accommodating dietary needs and preferences. Many restaurants offer kid-friendly menus, while others focus on global flavors and elevated cuisine. Vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-conscious options are widely available, making it easier for families with varying needs to dine confidently.

Because dining is included, families don’t need to plan reservations around budgets or decide whether a meal is “worth it.” The experience is designed to feel relaxed and accessible—whether that’s a quick lunch between activities or a longer evening meal together.


Casual, Flexible, and Easy

One of the advantages of Beaches dining is flexibility. With a mix of casual eateries, buffet-style options, and sit-down restaurants, families can choose what works best in the moment—without formal planning or pressure to commit to a single dining style.

This flexibility is especially valuable for families traveling with younger children or larger groups, where schedules naturally vary throughout the day.


Our Role in Dining Planning

While dining is included, how you experience it can still vary by resort. We help guide resort selection with dining preferences in mind—whether that means a wider variety of casual options, specific cuisines, or layouts that make dining easier with children.

Our goal is to ensure dining feels like part of the enjoyment, not another detail to manage.

Planning a Family or Group Trip?

If you’re exploring Beaches for a family vacation, celebration, or group getaway, we’ll help guide the process and manage the details from the start. 

Start Planning

Room & Service Levels at Beaches

At Beaches Resorts, accommodations are designed with families and groups in mind—offering space, flexibility, and service levels that support different travel styles without overcomplicating the experience.

Understanding these categories helps ensure the room enhances your stay rather than simply increasing cost.

Butler Elite Suites

Butler Elite Suites

Butler Elite Suites

Butler Elite represents the highest level of accommodation and service at Beaches, designed for families and groups who want a more personalized, fully supported experience.


These suites often offer expanded living space, multiple bedrooms, and premium locations—making them especially well-suited for larger families, multigenerational trips, or milestone celebrations. Butler service adds a hands-on layer of coordination, helping manage daily details, special requests, and on-resort planning so the experience feels seamless.


For families who value privacy, space, and a more curated stay, Butler Elite allows everyone to enjoy the resort without needing to coordinate logistics themselves.

Concierge Rooms

Concierge rooms add an extra layer of support and convenience, making them a popular choice for families who appreciate assistance with on-resort planning.


With Concierge-level accommodations, guests benefit from added planning support for dining, activities, and daily logistics, along with preferred room locations within the resort. This category works especially well for families traveling with younger children, first-time visitors to Beaches, or those who want help coordinating a full schedule without managing details themselves.


Concierge rooms strike a balance between independence and guidance—offering support where it matters most while still allowing families to move at their own pace.

Luxury Rooms

Butler Elite Suites

Luxury Rooms

Luxury rooms at Beaches provide comfortable, family-friendly accommodations with full access to all resort amenities and inclusions. These rooms work well for families who plan to spend most of their time enjoying the resort’s activities, dining, and shared spaces.


They are a strong fit for travelers who want a well-appointed home base without added service layers, and for families who prefer flexibility and independence throughout their stay. Despite being the entry-level category, these rooms still offer access to everything that makes Beaches distinctive—from waterparks and kids programs to dining and entertainment.

Family-Friendly & Specialty Accommodations

Select Beaches resorts feature specialty room categories designed specifically for families, including multi-bedroom suites and accommodations that allow everyone to stay together comfortably.


These options are limited and often in high demand, particularly during school breaks and peak travel periods. When applicable, we’ll guide availability, timing, and whether these room types meaningfully enhance your experience based on how your family plans to travel.

Our Guidance on Room Selection

Choosing the right room at Beaches is less about selecting the highest category and more about choosing the option that supports your family’s rhythm, space needs, and level of desired assistance.


We consider factors such as group size, ages of children, length of stay, and daily activity preferences before recommending a room and service level. Our goal is to ensure your accommodations feel supportive and comfortable—so the resort works for your family, not the other way around.

Designed for Shared Milestones

Beaches works especially well for:

  • Multigenerational family trips 
  • Family reunions 
  • Birthday celebrations 
  • Group travel 
  • Milestone vacations
     

With a wide range of room categories, dining options, and activities, Beaches allows families to travel together without forcing everyone into the same experience.


We help ensure room selection, resort choice, and timing align with the group’s needs—so the trip feels organized rather than overwhelming.

Included Experiences

Resort-Scale Fun, Included

Beaches is known for its on-resort waterparks, which are included as part of the all-inclusive experience. These waterparks feature:

  • Waterslides 
  • Splash zones 
  • Lazy rivers 
  • Interactive water play areas
     

Beyond the waterparks, Beaches offers a wide range of activities designed to keep days full without leaving the resort—making it easy for families to stay engaged without additional planning.

Thoughtfully Designed Programs for Every Age

Beaches offers supervised kids and teen programs for ages 0 through 17, allowing parents to enjoy downtime while children are engaged in age-appropriate activities.


Programs are tailored by age group and may include:

  • Arts and crafts 
  • Games and sports 
  • Themed activities 
  • Teen-only spaces and social events
     

For families traveling with younger children, private childcare services are also available through Beaches-trained nannies and childcare specialists, offering added flexibility during the stay.

Familiar Faces and Teen-Focused Spaces

Select Beaches resorts feature partnerships and spaces designed to enhance the family experience:

  • Sesame Street® programming, offering character interactions and themed activities for younger children 
  • Club Liquid, a dedicated teen-only hangout space with music, games, and social programming
     

These features help ensure each age group has experiences designed specifically for them—rather than sharing generic resort activities.

Activities for All Generations

Like Sandals, Beaches has expanded its pickleball offerings across multiple resorts, making it easy for parents, teens, and grandparents to enjoy active time together.


Pickleball play is included, with access to:

  • Daily open play 
  • Lighted courts for evening games 
  • Equipment provided on property
     

This is one of many activities that supports multigenerational travel without requiring everyone to participate in the same way.

Scuba Diving at Beaches

Beaches also offers scuba diving at select resorts, making it a strong option for families with certified divers or parents who want to take advantage of included water activities.


Scuba options include:

  • Diving opportunities for certified divers 
  • On-resort dive teams and equipment 
  • Instructional options for those interested in learning
     

This allows families to enjoy active adventures without coordinating off-resort excursions independently.

Who Beaches Is Best For

Beaches is an excellent fit for families and groups who want a vacation where:

  • Activities are readily available for all ages 
  • Kids and teens have structured, supervised options 
  • Parents can enjoy downtime without logistics 
  • Everyone can travel together while still having space
     

It may not be the best fit for travelers seeking adults-only environments or ultra-quiet, boutique resorts.


We help confirm fit before booking so expectations are aligned and the experience works for everyone traveling.

Family Travel—Thoughtfully Managed

If Beaches feels like the right fit for your family, celebration, or group getaway, we’ll guide the process and handle the details.
