La Casa Que Canta - Another Visit to Paradise




Superb design, dramatic architecture, spectacular views, romantic pool areas, fine food and imaginative accommodations define the character of this breathtaking cliff-dweller.  


Flowing in three levels down a hillside, with each window framing the glorious bay below. Once through the carved wooden door you step into a tiered open-air palapa lounge full of Mexican handicrafts, from comfortable rattan and leather seating to exquisitely primitive stools, tables and rare Mexican objets d'art. A bevy of woven baskets hang from the palm-thatched roof, and straw bristles from authentic adobe walls. 



The very large and cool tiled rooms show lots of handcrafted furniture, folk art and pottery, with endless bird, monkey and mermaid motifs. Minibars are stocked with complimentary drinks, and at turndown, housekeepers lay flower petals in artistic patterns on the spreads. 


A sundeck with a small freshwater pool lies near the bar. The larger pool has an infinity edge perched at the rim of a cliff, spilling water over it. A narrow spiral stairway passes a small observation point above the crashing surf and continues almost to the water, where a saltwater pool, whirlpool and tiered sundeck await those in search of even more privacy.

Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort & Spa,the most comprehensive family vacation ever!!!


Luxury meets adventure at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa, located in exotic Grace Bay in Providenciales in the enchanting Turks & Caicos Islands. The 615-room resort is a paradise for families with three villages: the Caribbean, French and the new Italian Village, each designed to reflect the style of its regions.



Beaches Turks and Caicos really does have something for everyone. For children they have so many activities to do. From waterslides to Dj scratching lessons and arcade everything is extremely supervised by an amazing staff. Parents or couples can enjoy going to the beautiful spa or enjoy a romantic lunch or dinner or float around the lazy river. Tons of dinning options.



Beaches claim to fame is its association with Sesame Street. All the favorite characters from Big Bird to Elmo to Cookie Monster make appearances daily and adventure programs with the characters, as well as parades, nightly tuck ins, breakfasts and photo ops are available for kids to enjoy.


Caribbean Village: Further back from the beach and farther from where most of the activities are held. You can definitely tell that this village is for the traveler on a budget; however the scenery is still beautiful and surrounded by lush plant life.  


French Village: Extremely quiet and set farther back into the property. Clients staying in this village have their own check in. There are very few children around this part of the property. There is a very large pool that is extremely quiet and relaxing. The rooms are a step up from the Caribbean Village; however there are no balconies in any room category.  



Italian village: AMAZING! I absolutely love this village for everyone. Location, location, location. This village is closest to the beach and to all the activities on the property. This village has by far the best room accommodations.  Seaside Suites: Accommodations are very similar to Caribbean Village however the location is better. It is closest to the ocean and can accommodate a large party.

So if you are looking for the rare and exotic will find this destination the crystal clear choice. The waters are the most transparent you'll ever see and aglow with more shades of turquoise than you could ever count. People are outnumbered by the infinite variety of tropical fish. And there are moments you'd swear that time stands still. Beaches Turks & Caicos... a getaway for those who prefer to separate themselves from the crowd.
