Caribbean Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos (and the Seaside Village)

Trying to understand the Caribbean Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos — and how the Seaside Village on the resort map fits in? The Caribbean Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos is the original section of the resort. The Seaside Village is a cluster of villa-style buildings that beaches.com markets together with Caribbean as a single grouped village. Here’s what’s inside each, and how we help clients pick between them.

What the Caribbean Village at Beaches Turks and Caicos actually is

The Caribbean Village is the original part of the resort. All of its room categories are standard rooms rather than villas, and they live in the resort’s Main Building, which has an East Wing and a West Wing.

A few practical things about this village that matter on arrival:

• The resort’s main ATM is located in the Caribbean Village Lobby. The US dollar is legal tender in Turks & Caicos, so this is where you’ll grab cash if you need any.
• Daily orientation is held at 9:00 a.m. from the Caribbean Village Lobby (a second orientation runs at 4:00 p.m. from the Key West Library).
• Turtles Bar is in the Caribbean Village, open 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m..
• One of the two Camp Sesame nursery locations (ages 0–11 months, 12–24 months, and 3–4 years) is in the Caribbean Village.

In our experience helping families book Beaches Turks & Caicos, Caribbean Village rooms are the option clients ask about when they want the classic resort room (balcony or patio, standard footprint) rather than a multi-bedroom villa. For the wider context, see our overview of all five villages at Beaches Turks and Caicos.

Caribbean Village rooms: what’s in the Main Building

The Caribbean Village room categories are all located in the Main Building, spread across the East and West Wings. Here’s what the fact sheet lists:

• Caribbean Deluxe Room — Main Building, 2nd floor, East and West Wings. Sleeps 4. Balconies.
• Caribbean Premium Walkout Room — Main Building, 1st floor, East and West Wings. Sleeps 4. Patios. An accessible version is also available on the 1st floor with a handheld rain showerhead and lowered vanity.
• Caribbean Honeymoon Grand Luxe Room — Main Building, 3rd floor, East and West Wings. Sleeps 4. King bed or two double beds.
• Caribbean Honeymoon Luxury Concierge Suite — Main Building, 1st–3rd floors, East and West Wings. Sleeps 5.
• Caribbean Penthouse One Bedroom Butler Suite — a single unit on the 3rd floor of the East Wing. Sleeps 5. Full kitchen, formal dining, king bed, two queen sofa beds.

Seaside Village: the villa-style buildings grouped with Caribbean

Seaside Village is listed separately in the resort’s official room list but is physically grouped with the Caribbean Village, and beaches.com markets the resort as five villages by grouping Caribbean and Seaside together. The Seaside Village is organized into four villa buildings: Pine Cay Villas, French Cay Villas, Salt Cay Villas, and Parrot Cay Villas.

Seaside room categories from the fact sheet:

• Seaside Two Bedroom Luxury Butler Villa Suite — Pine Cay & French Cay Villas, 1st floor. Sleeps 8. The PDF describes this category as “centrally located, close to beach, Iguana’s pool and many of the resort’s restaurants”.
• Seaside Honeymoon One Bedroom Concierge Villa Suite — Parrot Cay Villas, 1st and 2nd floors. Sleeps 5. The PDF description places this category “in the Caribbean village, on the first and second floors of the Parrot Cay Villas, just steps from the beach”.
• Seaside One Bedroom Concierge Suite — Salt Cay Villas, 1st–3rd floors. Sleeps 5.
• Seaside One Bedroom Concierge Villa Suite — Salt Cay Villas, 1st and 2nd floors. Sleeps 5.

That Parrot Cay line is worth noting: the category name says “Seaside,” but the PDF itself describes it as being “in the Caribbean village”. That’s how tightly connected these two villages are on the ground.

Dining and bars inside the Caribbean and Seaside Villages

Most of the sit-down dining tied to these two villages sits in the Seaside Village side of the grouping. Here’s what the fact sheet lists:

Venue	Type	Hours	Location
Arizona’s Restaurant	Southwestern	Lunch 12:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.; Dinner 6:00 p.m.–9:30 p.m.	Seaside Village
Schooners	Bahamian / Turks seafood	Breakfast 7:30–11:00 a.m.; Dinner 5:30–9:30 p.m.	Seaside Village
Turtles Bar	Bar	10:00 a.m.–1:00 a.m.	Caribbean Village
Iguana’s Bar	Swim-up & stand-up bar	10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.	Seaside Village
Arizona’s Bar	Bar	10:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m.	Arizona’s Restaurant, Seaside Village
Cascades Pool Bar	Swim-up bar	10:00 a.m.–11:00 p.m.	Arizona Cascades Pool, Seaside Village
Schooners Bar	Bar	5:30–11:00 p.m.	Schooners Restaurant, Seaside Village

A few dress-code and booking notes clients ask about: Schooners is resort evening attire for dinner, and resort evening attire explicitly excludes shorts, t-shirts, sleeveless shirts, sneakers, flip-flops, slippers, hats, and caps at participating restaurants.

Of course, staying in the Caribbean or Seaside Village doesn’t limit you to these venues — all 23 restaurants and the three food trucks are open to every guest across the resort. These are simply the ones that live inside these two villages.

Who we book into the Caribbean or Seaside Village

The right fit between the two depends on what a family wants the room itself to be:

• Caribbean Village works well for guests who want a classic resort room in the original, central part of the resort — balcony or walkout patio, standard footprint, and easy access to the Caribbean Village Lobby (ATM, daily orientation, Turtles Bar).
• Seaside Village works well for families who want a villa-style suite (one- or two-bedroom) with Iguana’s swim-up pool bar and Arizona’s and Schooners nearby. The two-bedroom Luxury Butler Villa Suite here is the category the PDF specifically calls out as “centrally located, close to beach, Iguana’s pool and many of the resort’s restaurants”.
• Honeymooners and couples have options in both: the Caribbean Honeymoon Grand Luxe Room and Caribbean Honeymoon Luxury Concierge Suite in the Main Building, or the Seaside Honeymoon One Bedroom Concierge Villa Suite in the Parrot Cay Villas, which the PDF describes as “just steps from the beach”.

One thing we’ll flag for anyone comparing villages: the other three sections of the resort are the Italian Village, the French Village, and the Key West Village, plus the newest addition, Treasure Beach Village, which is now open. Those posts walk through what’s in each if you’re weighing the full slate.
