When we talk about family vacations, Beaches Resorts are the Grand Daddy of all inclusive family resorts. Back in the day, Sandals resorts were all-inclusive resorts that catered to romance and honeymooners. Well, romance and honeymoons often lead to families and children. Couples who had honeymooned at Sandals resorts dreamed of returning with their kids in tow. Voila! Beaches resorts were born, offering the same luxury hotel offerings to families with kids.

Today there are four Beaches Resorts. All consider themselves to be Ultra all-inclusive family resorts. They include the typical features found at most all inclusive family resorts like meals, snacks, drinks, hotel activities, tips and kids clubs but Beaches Resorts kicks it up a notch. Ultra luxury features which can include free greens fees, butler service, scuba diving, gourmet food, premium liquors and many other indulgences that parents will appreciate. Kids are also treated like VIPs with Ultra Nannies and Seasame Street characters for the youngest guests right on up to waterparks and free X-box video arcades for teens.

In total there are four Beaches Resorts. With these four resorts, they offer two levels of service. There are their Classic Collection hotels which offer their trademark service and ammenties along with their Signature Collection Hotels with upgraded features that, as they say, improve upon perfection.
