Most Autism-Friendly All-Inclusive Resort Brand in the Caribbean

Beaches Resorts is already a perfect getaway for family travelers looking for an inclusive all-inclusive getaway in either Jamaica or Turks & Caicos, but the brand is also the first resort company in the world to complete and receive IBCCES Certification and Autism Certification. Beaches Resorts strives to offer families of children with autism and other special needs comfort, specialized services, engaging activities and a welcoming environment for a memorable vacation.

Beaches Resorts provides a wide variety of services for guests with autism and other special needs:

Beaches Buddies

Access one-on-one support through Beaches Buddies, accredited by IBCCES, which offers personalized help during their entire stay or just for a few hours.

Special Services Team

During the planning process and vacation, families can reach out to Beaches’ Special Services team, a dedicated, toll-free hotline for personalized recommendations, suite suggestions based on sensory triggers, arrangement for special products and airport shuttle services.

Sensory Guides

Sensory Guides are helpful tools designed for neurodivergent guests and those with cognitive disabilities. These guides feature resort maps with a –10 scale rating, which identifies the level of sensory stimulation in public areas like the pool, dining areas and more.

Kids Camp

Beaches Resorts properties are also home to the Caribbean’s first autism-friendly kids’ camp. Staff members go through 40 hours of sensitivity training in order to be able to provide the best support they can. These camps have specially designed toys and comfort aids for children of all ages.

Sensory-Friendly Accommodations

Each property in the portfolio also offers a variety of multibedroom accommodations with luxury amenities such as butler service, full kitchens and private pools, allowing guests to limit exposure to high-sensory areas.
