Family and the Caribbean-what a perfect pair! Here are some of the best family resort you can experience.

Beaches Turks & Caicos

What a Fabulous Resorts! I can see myself in the pool. Great place for families to enjoy. For kids, the most exciting aspect of of the resort is its 45,000 sq.ft. Pirates Island water park, complete with 7 water slides, a lazy river and a surfing simulator. Big kids can even kick back and relax like mom and dad at the swim-up soda bar. And little ones can get in on the action, too, with a zero-entry kiddie pool and gentle fountains and other spray features.

Of course, parents too can get in on the action also, they can enjoy marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs-separate from kids room-in Italian Village suites, as well as relaxing treatments at the Red Lane Spa. The end of the day families can come together for dinner at any of Beaches 16 restaurants, ensuring there's a meal for even the picky eaters. Our next top family resort.

The activities at Splash are available for every family member, but when parents need to wine down a little they can head over to the Harmony, an adult-only wing with a serene swimming pool surrounded by canbana beds. Indulge in the Kai Mer Spa, offering a wide range of treatments.
