With spring well on the wane, USA Today recently compiled a list of “Beautiful beach hotels in the Caribbean” ideal for a summertime escape at substantial savings over high season rates. Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort & Spa made the list and here is what they reported:

Beaches is known for being a top family-friendly hotel chain, and we think the one in Turks and Caicos is one of its very best. With seven pools, a sprawling water park, a shopping centre, a spa complex and more restaurants than you can shake a breadstick at, the 65-acre Beaches is clearly the Turks and Caicos resort with the most features. An all-inclusive hotel, this property will keep your little ones entertained while you head for a rum punch; there’s a Sesame Street Camp and nightly performances, a Martha Stewart Crafts Studio, an Xbox games garage, and even a DJ academy all on-site.

Beaches, the Turks and Caicos Islands and Gracebay beach have over the years been recipients of numerous prestigious awards from travel industry organizations.
