Scenes from the resort
Which village to pick
Italian Village
Heart of the action
Main family pool · Closest to Kids Camp · Mario's · Bella Napoli · Cricketers · Best for first-timers
Our default pick for first-time families. You're right next to the main pool, the heaviest concentration of restaurants, and the entrance to Kids Camp. It's the liveliest part of the resort, expect pool activities and music during the day, quieter by 10pm.
Caribbean & Seaside
Original Beaches, quieter beachfront
Directly on Grace Bay · Quietest pool · Schooners · Arizona's · Best for couples & older kids
The original village at the resort and still our personal favourite for couples or families with older kids. Directly on Grace Bay, with the quietest pool on property and the closest restaurants to the beach.
French Village
Calm courtyard, walkout rooms
Ground-floor walkouts · Quiet courtyard pool · Le Petit Château · Café de Paris · Best for toddlers
Ground-floor walkout rooms that open directly onto a pool deck or garden path. Quieter feel than the Italian Village, and practical if you're travelling with a toddler who won't tolerate balconies or lifts.
Key West
Luxury villas, butler service
Three- & four-bedroom villas · Full butler service · Private plunge pools · Best for multi-gen / two-family
Three- and four-bedroom villas with full butler service, plunge pools, and a private courtyard entrance. The category to pick for multi-generational trips or two-family groups who want to be under one roof.
Treasure Beach
The all-new village
Newest rooms on property · Infinity-edge pool · Pinta · Butch's · Brü · Best for design-led travellers
The newest addition to the resort. Infinity-edge pool, a brand-new restaurant inventory, and rooms styled in a calmer contemporary-Caribbean palette. If you want the most modern accommodation on property, ask specifically for Treasure Beach.
All-inclusive dining for the whole family
Mario's
Italian
The proper Italian restaurant in the Italian Village, and the one we default to for a slightly dressier night. Breakfast and dinner service, the kids' pasta here is genuinely solid, not an afterthought.
Reflections
International buffet
The main international buffet. You will end up here for breakfast more often than you planned because it is the fastest way to feed four kids before the waterpark opens at 10.
Kimonos
Japanese teppanyaki
Teppanyaki chef performs at your table, cooks the meal in front of you, flips shrimp into pockets, the whole thing. Our kids rated this #1. Reserve on your first afternoon, not your third.
Arizona's
Southwestern
Southwestern-themed spot with a decent lunch buffet and an à la carte dinner. A good neutral pick on nights when nobody in your group can agree.
Schooners
Seafood
Beachfront seafood shack just off the Caribbean Village pool. Casual, loud in a good way, and the only restaurant on property where we would skip the reservation and just walk in at an off hour.
Sapodilla's
Caribbean (ages 12+)
An adults-and-older-kids spot (12+) for a quieter Caribbean dinner. Ask for an outdoor table. We send the younger kids to Kids Camp Dine With Me and eat here.
Giuseppe's
Italian buffet
Indoor/outdoor Italian-leaning buffet across all three meals. Not the place for a special dinner, but extremely useful on days you are in-and-out between pool sessions.
Bobby Dee's
American diner
A pirate-ship-themed diner pushing burgers, nuggets, mac and cheese, and milkshakes. If you have under-10s, they will want to eat every meal here. Resist, but the one dinner you give in to is worth it.
Le Petit Chateau
Classic French (12+)
The dress-up dinner of the week. Classic French prix-fixe format, 12-plus, slightly more formal than anywhere else on property. Book it for your "one nice night".
Café de Paris
French patisserie
Crêpes, espresso, and a surprisingly good pastry case. Our first stop of the morning, and a useful 4pm snack rescue when the kids hit a wall.
Bella Napoli Pizzeria
Neapolitan pizza
Hand-tossed wood-fired pizza by the pool. The 4-year-old's first-choice dinner roughly five nights in a row.
Barefoot by the Sea
Seafood
Exactly what it sounds like, seafood, sea views, feet in the sand. Low-key and romantic enough that you notice. Open across all three meals.
Cricketer's Pub
British pub
Proper English pub, fish and chips, a pint of Guinness, Premier League on the screens. A weirdly useful late-night option and one of the only places open past 10pm.
Dino's Pizzeria
Neapolitan pizza
A second pizza spot, this one closer to the beach. Lunch and early dinner only. Counter-service, no reservation needed, great for a quick bite between waterpark laps.
Soy Sushi Bar
Sushi
Sushi, sashimi, and a small Japanese appetizer menu. Good for a slightly quieter dinner. No reservation needed, just turn up around 6pm.
Bayside
International buffet
Open-air buffet with arguably the best ocean view of any restaurant on property. Strong breakfast, decent dinner, and the view does most of the work.
Sky
Rooftop Caribbean (12+)
Rooftop restaurant, 12-plus only, for sunset breakfasts and quieter evening dinners. The best sundowner spot on property. Order a drink, watch the sky do its thing.
Neptune's
Mediterranean & seafood
Flame-grilled Mediterranean seafood across all three meals. Evening attire recommended. One of the more reliable dinners if you want something that feels "out" without being fussy.
Jerk Truck
Jamaican (food truck)
Walk-up jerk chicken, festival, and rice and peas from a beachside truck. The most Jamaican thing on property, grab a chilled Red Stripe with it. Ask for easy on the peppa sauce if the kids haven't built up a tolerance.
Jojo Java
Café
A small artisan coffee stop pouring Blue Mountain espresso, iced coffees, and a short pastry list. Open 6am-10pm, which covers both the sunrise run and the post-dinner dessert walk.
Mr. Mac
Mac & cheese (food truck)
A food truck dedicated to mac and cheese. Yes, just mac and cheese. The kids will want a second portion. Our 6-year-old's verdict: "this is the best food in the world." Worth a lap.
The Dive
Beach bar
Fresh juices, frozen drinks, and whatever-you-want from the beach bartenders. Technically it's a bar, but the bar snacks are good enough to count as lunch.
Yoyo's
Frozen yogurt & gelato
Self-serve fro-yo, gelato, and sorbet. Every family finds this within 24 hours of check-in. Open until 10pm.
Pinta Food Hall
Global food hall
The centrepiece of the new Treasure Beach Village, a food hall with Caribbean, Italian, Mexican, and Asian kitchens under one roof. Genuinely the best concept on property for a picky family; everyone orders what they actually want.
Butch's Island Chop House
Steakhouse
A proper steakhouse, dry-aged beef displayed in the dining room, a solid wine list, and (thoughtfully) a full kids' menu. Reservation required, evening attire. This is the new "special dinner of the week".
Brü
Café & craft bar
Morning espresso and pastries; evening cocktails and craft sips. The Treasure Beach answer to Café de Paris, with a more grown-up atmosphere after 5pm.
What you'll do
Scuba diving
Included
Two-tank boat dives leave the marina twice a day and are included for certified divers, gear, boat, divemaster, all in. The PADI certification course is the one big paid extra worth considering if your kids are 10+.
Snorkelling off the beach
Included
Grace Bay is sandy rather than reefy, but there is a surprisingly good patch reef about a 200m swim off the Caribbean Village end. Free kit loan from the water sports hut.
Hobie Cats & paddleboards
Included
Included with any room, no booking needed, just show up at the water sports hut and swap your room card for a board.
Tennis & pickleball
Included
Four courts, racquets and balls provided, floodlit for evening play.
Nightly entertainment & teen disco
Included
A different show every night in the main theatre, plus a dedicated teen disco (Club Liquid) that runs past the kids' bedtime. The teens love this one. It is chaperoned.
Sesame Street character meet-and-greets
Included
Daily character breakfasts and a weekly Sesame Street parade. Works like magic for under-6s.
Add-ons worth considering
Red Lane Spa
Full-service spa in the Italian Village. Massage, facials, hydrotherapy. Book at check-in for the weekly packages, they represent real savings.
PADI scuba certification
Three-day Open Water course for guests 10+. Runs about $600 per person. Worth it if your kids are on the edge of being certifiable.
Candlelit beach dinner
A private two-top setup on the sand with a dedicated server. Popular for anniversaries. Book two days ahead.
Pirates Island Waterpark
The biggest waterpark at any Beaches property. It sits right next to the Italian Village and is included in the rate, no wristbands, no reservations, just walk in. Worth knowing: the main slide tower has height minimums (you need to be above the painted line on the wall), and the surf simulator is the one attraction with a small queue. The lazy river is the real hero for parents, you can legitimately relax on a tube while the older kids circle past you.
Kids Camp with certified nannies
This is the thing that genuinely separates Beaches from a standard family resort. The Kids Camp staff are nursery-trained and certified, and the resort is an IBCCES-certified Autism Center, the first in the Caribbean. Programming is split by age band so a 4-year-old isn't being dragged around with the 11-year-olds. Drop-off hours run roughly 9am-9pm. If you want to book the full-week camp plus the Night Owls service (evening babysitting), do it on your first afternoon, slots fill.
Same price as booking direct.
