Beaches ~ Turks & Caicos Roll Call!

[wendy5512]

I am glad everyone weathered the storm down in T&C!

 

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the Beaches "Island Party" BBQ dinner is still on Friday evenings, and whether this is a good alternative to a welcome dinner for about 20 - 25 folks in a restaurant.  I think we are going to be a room short for the extra perks, such as the "free" welcome dinner the night before the ceremony...

Hi Wendy!

 

My husband and I got married in May this year, and they did have the Beach BBQ party on the friday.  It was our last night there and we used that instead of a welcome/farewell dinner at a restaurant.  We had our photographer take some pictures on the beach (the sun is so beautiful at that time of day!) and everyone could easily mix and mingle.  They started it off with a Sesame Street show, had a fire dancer, dancing contests where the crowd could get involved, ice sculptures, a tiki bar and TONS of food.  It was lots of fun!  

 

Hope that helps

Krista

I have the June sales kit but not the foral upgrade.  I would appreciate it if you could send that to me.

Thank  you

Thanks KristaKates!  It sounds like it was a blast, and perfect for a welcome/ farewell dinner!

I saw on Facebook the Beaches will not be open for Sept They will start recieving guests again on Oct. 6.....So sorry for any of you getting married there during this time...I live at the Jersey Shore and we had two weddings for last weekend and both were cancelled due to evacuation orders, we had thousands of dollars worth of flowers just sitting in our fridge, which we eventually donated to the hospitals yesterday.

yep, I'm waiting to hear back from my Travel Agent to see what we can do.

Oh no!  I am so sorry that this is happening on your date.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that another hurricane won't roll in.  We leave on Oct 18th.

Re:                   Hurricane Irene Statement

Date:               August 29, 2011

Following the passage of Hurricane Irene through the Caribbean we are delighted to report that Sandals Grande Emerald Bay came out unscathed and is open and accepting guests.

 

Sandals Royal Bahamian and Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa remain closed as we clear landscaping debris and prepare to welcome back guests. Sandals Royal Bahamian will accept guest arrivals beginning on Wednesday, September 28 and Beaches Turks & Caicos will accept guest arrivals beginning on Thursday, October 6. Prior to these dates, guests traveling to Sandals Royal Bahamian and Beaches Turks & Caicos from now until the resorts re-opening date will be relocated to another Sandals Resorts or Beaches Resorts location, pending availability.

Alternately, guests scheduled to travel to Sandals Royal Bahamian and Beaches Turks & Caicos may revise their bookings without penalty and will have their current rate honored for altered reservations for up to one year after their original travel dates (excluding black-out dates).   If guests cannot immediately re-schedule their travel, they will have the cost of their original stay credited toward a future booking to be used within one year of original travel dates (excluding black-out dates).

We encourage all guests to work with the airlines directly to take advantage of policies that may waive change fees for those who wish to keep the same trip dates and travel to another destination.  For relocated guests that would like to rebook other available resorts in Antigua, Jamaica, Bahamas or Saint Lucia, they may do so and we will absorb the air relocation fee up to $150.00 per ticket.  The safety and security of our guests remains the top priority and we look forward to welcoming guests back to the Bahamas and Turks & Caicos.
