If you're looking to get up-close and personal with the underwater world, Beaches offers the most comprehensive resort diving program in the Caribbean. What's more, it's included in your stay. If you're already a certified diver, diving is allowed each day of your stay, with provided top-of-the-line equipment. New to the fun? Take a short on-resort course and start diving that same day. For kids, the PADI Bubblemaker Experience is the perfect way to introduce your child to the wonders of the sea.

A truly unique and fun experience for the entire family, glass bottom boats allow you to discover some of the world's most stunning coral reefs and colorful tropical fish below as you cruise across the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. If you prefer to soak in the sun without getting your hair wet, this is the perfect excursion for you. Just be sure to reserve your spot ahead of time as this one fills up quick.

Spend some time on the water with a wide range of included water sports. Grab someone in the family and paddle across the sea on an Aquatrike built for two. Bust out those goggles and flippers and discover the world below as you snorkel your day away. Sail off into the sunset with the entire family on a Hobie Cat. If you feel like you've been slacking with your workouts, paddleboarding is the perfect way to burn some of those extra calories you're guaranteed to accrue on vacation. Other activities include Laser Bug Boats designed specifically for kids and teens, kayaking and water surfing.

With more land sports than any other resorts in the Caribbean, Beaches lets you play what you want, when you want, indoors and outdoors. Take it to the courts and shoot some hoops. Bump, set, spike before a tropical backdrop with beach volleyball. Call your shots in a game of pool. Indulge in some old-fashioned, family fun with an array of board games. Really, the choice is yours. Other on-land fun includes soccer, tennis, croquet, shuffleboard, table tennis and lawn chess.

Waterslides, kid-friendly pools and swim-up soda bars are the things dreams are made of. Soak in the sun while floating down the lazy river, get your adrenaline pumping while shooting down some fast and fun waterslides and test your balance and skill on the Caribbean's only surf simulator.

Party the night-and day-away with hours of entertainment for the whole family. For the little ones, Sesame Street stage shows, parades, fashion shows and talent contests are guaranteed to captivate and delight for hours. Club Liquid lets your teen dance the day away to Caribbean tunes while meeting other teens from all parts of the globe. At night, the club transforms into an adults-only dance bar where the drinks are flowing and the beats are blaring. Fun for all members of the family, weekly beach parties include delicious food and drinks under the stars, along with awe-inspiring fire-eaters, limbo dancers and more.

Let the kids be kids at their very own hangout spot, Trench Town. From electronic basketball setups and laser hockey under the black lights to a state-of-the-art sound system, gigantic flat-screen TVs and more, this space was designed with them in mind.

Who doesn't love video games? With a library of more than 1300 of them, you can challenge your family to a variety of titles like Minecraft, Dirty Rally, NBA 2K18 and more. Just don't be a sore loser when your 9-year-old destroys you in racing.

Being such a large resort, there's so much ground to explore. Grab the family and climb onboard the choo choo train, where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic ride through the Italian Village piazza, the chateaux of the French Village and the gardens of the Caribbean Village.

While the aforementioned fun is included in your stay, there's also plenty of optional activities you can splurge on if you're willing to pay a bit more. Enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. If you need to rejuvenate and recharge, Red Lane Spa offers a tranquil environment where you can relax with a massage, facial, mani-pedi and more. If you're looking for something off the resort, the Provo Caves Exploration, Provo Island Buggy Tour and Reef Fishing in Turks and Caicos are excellent choices for additional family excursions.
