Sixteen Great Dining Options!
There are sixteen dining options available at Beaches Turks and Caicos all-inclusive family resort. I will do my best to give you a quick break down of all of them, including our favorites. I will say that I enjoyed some of the best food that I have ever experienced at any resort. Beaches Turks and Caicos really do a fantastic job with their food quality.
Arizona’s Restaurant (Southwestern)
This restaurant offers a Tex-Mex a La Carte menu for dinner and a southwestern buffet served for lunch. We ate there a couple times for lunch and once for dinner. We were served fresh Tortilla chips with guacamole and salsa as an appetizer before dinner, but you can also order an appetizer with your dinner too. We all enjoyed our meals very much, and Lou got a steak that he said rivaled going to Outback or Lonestar in the states. He kept begging to go back before we left to have another steak, but there were so many other restaurants we needed to visit.
One really cool thing at Arizona’s was an outdoor grill and smoothie bar that they had during lunch time. They had fajitas, steak, pork, and fresh burgers on the grill, and French fries, onion rings, and chicken nuggets in warmers next to the grill. It was a very tasty spread.
Smoothie Bar:
Attached to the Caribbean Grill, was a smoothie bar. This was a great healthy alternative for drinks, if you wanted a break from the soda and alcoholic drinks, or just in the mood for something a little different. I loved the different types of smoothies that you could order. I think my favorite was a pineapple-strawberry-banana smoothie. Yum!
Barefoot by the Sea (Caribbean Sea Food Cuisine)
Barefoot by the Sea is a really cool restaurant that is built right in the sand with a great view of the ocean. The name of the restaurant is fitting, as you literally can kick your shoes off, and dine there while you squish your toes in the sand. This restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This restaurant doesn’t just serve seafood, it also has some incredible jerk chicken dishes!
Giuseppe’s Restaurant (Italian)
Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant is located in the French Village and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner served buffet style. The food was great at this restaurant. This became our favorite breakfast hangout, and the lunch was fantastic because they had a pasta bar. I loved the pasta bar because you got to choose your own vegetables, and type of Pasta, as well as what kind of sauce you wanted on all of it. I chose the Alfredo sauce, and boy I was not disappointed.
Giuseppe’s was our favorite all around restaurant at the resort.
Café de Paris (Gourmet Coffee and Pastries)
Think Starbucks Coffee shop, when you think of this café. Located next to Giuseppe’s in the French Village, you could get any type of specialty coffee drink there from a late, to a frozen caramel mocha. My older daughters and I are all coffee junkies anyway, so this was our first stop every morning before breakfast. They also had some incredible pastries there, like coconut macaroons, chocolate tarts, warm breakfast sandwiches, and so many other fattening things. We would get our morning gourmet coffee while we waited for our table to be ready at Giuseppe’s for breakfast. Our daughter Josie actually braved Hurricane Irene, and went out in the storm and walked to the café to get a cup of coffee! Later she posted on Face Book that she risked her life for a cup of coffee from the Café.
Le Petit Chateau (French)
This is the main adult only French Restaurant for the whole resort. Located in the French Village, this restaurant has a really unique European style tower entrance to the restaurant. The decor was very romantic and cute. I would say this restaurant was the most romantic restaurant on the resort. The main theme of this restaurant is French cuisine, but the restaurant also serves European dishes as well. The food was delicious here also. We had some incredible French onion soup with a top of melted cheese on top. It was as good as any French onion soup I have ever had. Actually, every course of our meal was fantastic. We only got to eat there once. I would have loved to have eaten there at least one more time.
Schooner’s Restaurant (Seafood)
This restaurant is located on the edge of the Caribbean Village, along the ocean, close to the water sports desk. Barefoot by the Sea was very casual and had casual type sea food entrees. Schooner’s is the main Seafood restaurant on the resort serving incredible sea food entrees.
Secret Crab Legs!
I have an insider’s tip for you when you eat at Schooner’s. Although Crab legs are not on the menu, you can get a plate full of crab legs, as long as you call about a day ahead and order them. I got lucky, because I was there on a night when they were serving them, and they actually had extra, so I was able to get some of those great crab legs even though I had forgotten to order them ahead of time. We all enjoyed our meals at Schooner’s.
Great Breakfast Too!
Schooners also served breakfast every day as well. Lou wasn’t as excited about breakfast at Schooners as I and our daughters were. The breakfast at Schooners was not seafood. It was more of a traditional English breakfast menu.
The Cricketer’s Pub (British)
The Cricketer’s Pub is located in the Italian Village, and was actually designed to mimic an actual English Pub that Mr. Stewart, (Sandals’ Founder) visited and fell in love with. Sandals and Beaches all-inclusive resorts do get a lot of guests from the UK, and this is a very popular spot for some great authentic English Pub food with a sports bar type of feel. We actually ate there twice. Again, we all had a great meal there. Lou and the kids really enjoyed the hamburger sandwich that was served there. The hamburger was a thick, handmade patty, seasoned with salt and pepper, then blackened. If you like a good burger, Cricketer’s is the place. Cricketer’s opens for lunch and stays open until 2am for all of your late night hunger pains. This is also a great place to have some late night drinks with friends and a few munchies to go with it.
Mario’s Restaurant (Gourmet Italian)
Mario’s restaurant offers a Tuscan –inspired open kitchen Italian style restaurant. Mario’s serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ate breakfast at Mario’s a couple of times, and dinner a couple of times there as well. Breakfast and Lunch are served buffet style, while dinner is served ala Carte style. Lou had the steak with some Alf redo pasta and he couldn’t stop raving about it, even though we all wished he would have calmed down a bit. Mario’s had a great antipasto bar that had some fantastic cheeses, sautéed vegetables, and exotic olives. Again, every one of us loved our meals.
A Place For the Kids
Mario’s also had a separate eating area for the kids. It had a really cool brick archway and there were child size tables and chairs for the kids. So Cute!! My children are not that small anymore, but I know that they would have loved to eat in that area when they were little.
Kimono’s Restaurant (Hibachi Grill)
This is definitely the most entertaining and delicious restaurant on the property. You better make sure that you make your reservations early, because this restaurant usually has at least a two day waiting list. But it is sooooo worth it! The chef entertains as he cooks. We had some incredible grilled veggies, shrimp, chicken, steak, pork, and fried rice all cooked to perfection. Besides the food, the chef is singing songs, flipping knives, and doing all sorts of other entertaining antics to keep us all on the edge of our seat.
One really fun thing he did, was using is spatula to flip cooked scrambled egg into our mouths. What is really crazy is that he actually was able to do it for all of us. Except Lou had about 5 tries before he got his.
Sushi Bar (Japanese)
If you are into Sushi, as I am, you are going to love this great addition to the resort restaurants. It is located right outside of Kimono’s. It is also a great place to go and get an appetizer while waiting for your table at Kimono’s.
Bobby Dee’s (Caribbean Steak n Shake)
This restaurant is set in the image of a 1950’s style diner. Bobby D’s has an ice cream parlor area of the restaurant, and then a fast food area where you can get burgers, hotdogs, fries, macaroni & cheese, pizza, chicken nuggets, and many other types of American fast food cuisine.
This was a great place to go and get a scoop of old fashioned ice cream, or a good old fashioned shake. The ice cream is all imported from America and is extremely good quality. Lou just had to have a chocolate shake every night from Bobby D’s. It was his favorite dessert on vacation. I have to say, even though I will never admit this to Lou, that I was pretty excited about the ice cream too.
The Pizzerias! (Great Italian Comfort Food)
There are two fantastic Pizzerias on the resort that make fresh pizza from scratch and then bake them in a traditional wood-fired pizza oven. The first Pizzeria is located in the Caribbean Village over by the activity pool. They make a nice variety of fresh gourmet pizzas. There were pizzas that were just pepperoni and cheese to as fancy as a basil chicken pizza. This Pizzeria also made a great Stromboli or stuffed pizza as well.
The other Pizzeria is known as Gordon’s Pizzeria and Grille. Here you have a choice of a hand tossed pizza baked in a wood fired pizza oven, or you can get fast food and grilled sandwiches at their own grille that is next to the pizzeria.
Reflections Restaurant
Reflections focuses on international cuisine served buffet style indoors or outdoors, in a tropical setting under a glass atrium. I actually never got to eat at this restaurant, because with 16 restaurants, and only 7 nights, it was hard to eat at them all.
Sapodilla’s Restaurant
This restaurant specializes in Continental cuisine served with classic white-gloved elegance. This is also an adult only restaurant. This is another restaurant that I could not get to because of all the other restaurant choices available to us while on vacation.
Special Food Events
Every week the resort puts on two very special food events. The first is the Late Night Chocolate Buffet, and second is the Soon Come Back Party.
Chocolate Buffet
The Late Night Chocolate Buffet usually is scheduled on Sundays, because that is one of the special food events designed to welcome the new guests that arrive at the beginning of the week. The buffet also has all kinds of incredible chocolate desserts, such as brownies, cakes, chocolate fondue, candies, and many other gourmet chocolate items to put your taste buds into chocolate heaven.
Best Food I have ever had at any Resort
I have to say, that I do travel a lot. I go to Mexico, Dominican, Jamaica, and many other places and resorts all over the Caribbean, and the food quality at Beaches Turks and Caicos was by far the best quality I or my family has had in all our travels. Beaches Turks and Caicos all inclusive family resort, really is one of the top resorts for food quality in the world.
