This all-inclusive behemoth is a world unto itself, with four distinct 'villages' (the Caribbean, France, Italy and Key West), eight pools, a water park, 15 bars and 21 restaurants. Every conceivable diversion is available – diving, lawn chess, kids camp, even a DJ academy – making it ideal for a self-contained family vacation.
Day passes are available to nonguests who'd like to sample Beaches' myriad luxuries but the high price of US$520/180 adult/child (10am to 6pm) discourages most.
