Has anyone been to a Beaches resort?

We have it was fantastic and not necessarily as pricey as you might think when you take into account what it includes.

The food is fantastic with an excellent choice of a la carte restaurants or buffet, the Italian where we stayed (Boscobel) was better than some of the restaurants I've been to here.

Childcare was brilliant from 10 am to 10pm and the staff were great with the kids so they just dropped in and out as they wanted really, they even take the kids to tea so you can have an adult meal if you wish.

Entertainment excellent, watersports fabulous, Diving is included in the price if you are qualified, if not its a nominal fee for insurance and you can dive every day after instuction.

We would love to go back and will at some point finances allowing! Boscobel and sandy bay (BeachesInn) are always the best priced, Sandy Bay is smaller but you can use the facs of Beaches Negril next door which is fabulous.

Me! Sorry I am one, but I always shop around the tour operators as prices vary a lot!!!! We booked it through Virgin hols not direct though as we got free kids, just paid the airfare. Beaches have various offers which they dole out to different tour ops at different times. Best time to go to carib is Nov-April weather wise but Easter can be pricey. December is cheapest but a pain if you can't take kids out of school. Get an agent that will shop around for you, an independent. Prices for us varied by 5k!!!!!

We went to Boscobel in june and had a nightmare there , we found the service terrible the staff were very friendly and great with the children but you had to queue at the bars because there was about 2 staff on , no where to sit properly to watch the night entertainment you had to sit on the sun loungers.
The food was fantastic and the actual resort was out of this world, but for the money we paid the service was very poor not what we expected at all and to top it off the floor was that dangerous around the pool with slippery tiles my daughter slipped and cut her chin open and had to have it glued together.
