The Turks and Caicos may not be the most famous of the Caribbean islands, but they certainly know how to treat their visitors. The two all-inclusive resorts available on this island are popular with travelers looking to get away from it all and have a great time doing it.
All-inclusive resorts don't come with a small price tag, but travelers can still end up saving a bit on their vacation budget. These resorts include meals and often activities, thus eliminating the need to spend money on these items elsewhere. In other words, you pay one price for lodging, food, drinks, and activities.
Keep in mind that each resort is different. Just because a resort says that it is all-inclusive doesn't mean that all of the activities are free. Make sure you find out what is included with your room rate to avoid disappointments and save on unwelcome additions to your final bill.
One of the reasons that all-inclusive resorts have remained so popular is that they make it so easy to relax and leave your wallet in your room. Many resorts even offer nightlife activities. Because of the all-inclusive nature of these resorts, many travelers never feel the need to leave the premises.
On the other hand, some people feel that all-inclusive resorts aren't so special. In fact, those who oppose the all-inclusive concept cite the same feature that others love: convenience. Some people think that all-inclusives are too convenient and do not encourage travelers to go out and truly experience the island culture. In fact, in can take extra effort on the traveler's part to explore beyond the resort's walls.
The Resorts
Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages and Spa
Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort Villages and Spa claims to be like four vacations in one. The resort offers a 45 thousand square foot water park, and three villages on property that make guests feel as though they are visiting Italy, France, and the Caribbean. With over 400 rooms, 16 restaurants, 12 bars, six pools, a night club, game room, kids camp, spa, and more, there is endless amounts of fun to be had. Rates range from $1000 to $3000 (USD).
Club Med Turkoise
Club Med Turkoise is an adults-only all-inclusive resort situated along the Caribbean Sea. Packages here include accommodations, sports and activities, leisure activities, all meals and most beverages, and round-trip air fare. Extras such as tours of the island, scuba diving, and spa treatments are available at an additional fee.
If your goal is to spend time lounging in the tropics, then an all-inclusive could be an excellent choice. However, if you're looking for a truly cultural experience, then an all-inclusive resort might not be your best choice in Turks and Caicos.
