    At Beaches Turks and Caicos, how many full or halfbathrooms does the Michaelangelo Family Suite in the Italian Village have?
    the Imperial Family Suites have 2 full bathrooms. the Concierge level rooms in the Italian Village have 1 large bathroom.
    Hi, I am looking into visiting Jamaica. What are the main differences between Riu Negril and Riu Palace Tropical?
    Riu Palace Tropical Bay is more upscale than Riu Negril. It has larger, more recently upgraded rooms, slightly more upscale food, and a nicer lobby. Guests staying at Riu Palace Tropical Bay can use the facilities at Riu Negril, but not vice-versa. We'll be glad to assist you in getting rates for both properties (and others we like in Negril).
    what is an average tip for the butler for a week at Beaches Turkes and Caicos?
    Tips can generally be from $10-$100/day depending on how much/little you use the butler and how valuable you find their service. We generally hear people paying $25-$50/day on average.
