Garie Beach

nervous about beaches turks and caicos!?

my mom, stepdad, and i (14) are planning a vacation and we are interested in the beaches turks and caico's but, we are nervous that elmo will be walking around everywhere. we saw in pictures and in the description that they have like a sesame day camp. we don't want this to be like a disney cruise where the characters walk up to you. we also don't want 3 and 4 year olds running around everywhere. and also we are not sure if this place is nice. in the pictures and descriptions it looks and sounds great but some people say it was terrible! ugh! helpp me decide!

1. Um, that would be up to the adults since they are paying for the trip and probably really need it. Go lay on the beach if the activities are not to your liking.
2. I went when i was about your age, and it is not bad at all. The small children attend a day camp all day, and at night are supervised by their parents, if they are out at all. I assume you are going to Beaches, but if you really really want to go for a place that has a more adult atmosphere I suggest Sandals, which is right next door, but I don't know if they will take you, since you are still underage. And the resort is very nice, and the staff is friendly, however, some of the food is not top notch, like the buffets. The sit-down restaurants are pretty good though. If you go, join the teen program, cause as lame as it sounds, its actually a ton of fun, and it's better then sitting around with your parents. Anyway, it's a great place, and the sesame street characters will not bother you at all, they are only out at certain times. Its a great vacation, and I hope you end up going!
3. Beaches is the 2008 Top Family Resort. You will enjoy it there, and if ever you see Elmo, just asked him not to bother you... Hope you enjoy your stay...
4. We are going Jan 2010 and I have been looking at peoples home videos of it on youtube. I haven't seen elmo or many kids in hardly any of the videos. Majority of the clips I watched have kids about your age in them at a teen dance party or hanging out in the pools and at the beaches. Any parent traveling that far with young children are going to either have them in the daycare part or with them around the beach or pool. It looks like its going to be a blast. Enjoy it, I think you will love it. go check out youtube.
