Turks and Caicos

Patrick and I just returned from a site inspection trip to the Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos. What a BEAUTIFUL island! It's located just below the Bahamas - just north of the Dominican Republic. This would be a GREAT resort to take a multi-generational family because it has something for EVERYONE...... 16 specialty restaurants with everything from Caribbean to Japanese, Italian to French, Seafood to Sushi!  13 bars, a water park with a lazy river and surf simulator, Sesame Street characters for the kids, nightly entertainment.....and - of course - the GORGEOUS Caribbean Sea!!

What a view!!

The Caribbean Sea is the most beautiful turquoise color you've
ever seen!

A CHOCOLATE BUFFET!   Four long tables with chocolate in
every imaginable way there is! 
This MUST be what heaven looks like!
OF COURSE I indulged! 

Giuseppe's - and Italian restaurant. mmmmmm-good!

Barefoot By The Sea - elegant dining right on the beach -
except you get to take your shoes off and rub
your feet in the sand.

Surf simulator at the water park.
Surf boards in the morning - boogie boards in the afternoon.

That ME with Big Bird!
They will even arrange for a Sesame Street character
to come to your room, read a bedtime story to your kids,
and then tuck them in.  I think I'd pick Elmo --
Big Bird might be a little scary. Ha ha.

Really cool for teenagers.....This building is filled with
plasma screens and the latest video games on the market.

Teenagers at play at the X-Box 360 Games Garage. 
There's probably 50 of these screens and games in this room!

One of the many pools.

The main pool.   By the way....has a swim up bar too!

Pool right on the beach.

Adult only Jacuzzi - right on the beach.

Part of a family suite....This is the kids' room -
can sleep 3 kids here.

Other wall in kids' room.  Has it's own X-Box
Video gaming system.

Other half of family suite.   King bed for mom
and dad and that big chair in the corner folds
 out into a twin bed.
