More To Know About Beaches:
Every Beaches Resort has a distinct personality. No two are the same. Some are big and lively and an excellent choice for those who love activities and keeping everyone busy. Some are smaller and more intimate and a better fit for those who want more of a boutique style experience. There are options for beach lovers, pool lovers and those who want it all.
All Beaches Resorts include round-trip transfers from the airport to the resort but you have the option to upgrade to private, non stop transfers but that additional cost is not a requirement as transfers are one of the many “extras” that Beaches includes with your package.
All Club Level & Butler Rooms come with Preferred Check-in and a fully stocked in-room bar. Your room will have a refrigerator with sodas and juices, beer and wine for your enjoyment during your stay. The concierge department is also available to make dining reservations and to stock your room with full liquor bottles at your request, so no matter which spirits you prefer, they should be able to accommodate*. (*Note: Islands of the Caribbean do have to import all items so certain labels may or may not be available at any given time depending when you visit)
Beaches Resorts include scuba diving & golf* as well as many other non-motorized water sports! Not many all inclusive resorts can say that but it is just another example of the luxury inclusions that you receive when staying at a Beaches Resort. (*Golf currently only available in Ocho Rios, Jamaica)
