BEACHES TURKS & CAICOS RESORT VILLAGES & SPA’S NEW ITALIAN VILLAGE OPENS TO RAVE REVIEWS
~$125 Million Resort Expansion Welcomed First Guests Last Week~
The Domanski Family of New Jersey were among the first guests to experience the new Italian Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa.
The new, all-suite Italian Village at Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa opened its doors last week, welcoming guests for the very first time to the sprawling 162-family suite resort expansion, featuring five gourmet restaurants (for a resort total of 16), an upscale retail area, the island’s largest freshwater pool and Caribbean’s largest whirlpool, and an entirely new lineup of teen- and tween-inspired programming. Fresh off the heels of their family vacation at Beaches Turks & Caicos, the Domanski family of New Jersey was excited to share their experience at the new Italian Village.
Gerald and Donna Domanski and their children Kaila, age 7, Skylar, 5 and Sienna, 21 months, checked into their Riviera Water’s Edge Walkout Two-Bedroom Family Suite with adjoining Imperial Suite on January 20, 2009.
“We had never stayed at an all-inclusive resort before, but we were looking for something that could cater to the whole family,” said Gerald Domanski. Beaches Turks & Caicos came very highly recommended by good friends, and after hearing about the new Italian Village, it certainly became our first choice!”
Donna Domanski added, “The new suites were so amazing for our family. There is absolutely nothing we would change about them – it really felt like a home away from home! I loved the way we could walk out of our patio doors right onto the beautiful white sand beach. The kids loved the bunk beds and XBOX 360®, while my husband and I also enjoyed our own luxurious retreat.”
In March 2009, guests can look forward to even more excitement as Beaches Turks & Caicos debuts the Pirate’s Island Waterpark – one of the largest waterparks in the region featuring seven new slides, a lazy river and the Caribbean’s only surf simulator, plus an all-new aqua-themed teen nightclub, Liquid.
In celebration of the grand opening, guests who book a minimum three-night stay at Beaches Turks & Caicos’ new Italian Village by February 13, 2009 can save up to 60 percent off regular rack rates for travel between September 1 and December 19, 2009. Guests who book a minimum seven-night stay by January 30, 2009 can additionally enjoy up to two nights free for travel from April 20 through June 5, 2009 or September 1 to October 31, 2009.
