Beaches...family vacation

Hi, everyone:

Have any of you gone to a Beaches resort with the kids for a vacation? We are thinking about doing a quick get-a-way to the Caribbean with our DS. It's an all-inclusive, family-friendly resort and I wanted to know if anyone has or know of anyone who stayed at a Beaches resort. The advertisements look nice, but you never know....

TIA, Elyssa

I haven't been to a Beaches, but I've been to a Sandals, which is the same company. The Sandals resorts run from ultra-luxurious to nice. So even the lower end of the spectrum is just fine, kwim? We considered a Beaches for this summer's vacation and chose not to go that route simply because they all seem to be in Jamaica. I've been there twice and had a perfectly lovely experience, but I didn't want to take my toddler there because I didn't want to be dependent on their health care system in the event of an emergency. Bahamas, Virgin Islands, maybe. But Jamaica made me nervous. Maybe somebody else will have other information for you, but those were my feelings.
