Beaches Resorts: A Stress-Free Inclusive Getaway for the Whole Family

When you’re planning a family vacation, you want more than just sunshine and a pool you want a destination that truly understands the needs of families. That means kid-friendly activities, flexible dining, spacious accommodations, and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone in your group. For families with young kids, big age gaps, or unique needs like sensory sensitivities, the right resort can make all the difference between a stressful week and a memory-filled one.

That’s why we often recommend Beaches® Resorts.

Not only are Beaches locations packed with family-friendly perks from waterparks and kids camps to multiple dining options and world-class beaches but they also lead the industry in inclusive travel. Families navigating autism will find that Beaches goes above and beyond to provide comfort, safety, and joy in a way few resorts do.

What Makes Beaches Resorts Stand Out

Beaches Resorts isn’t just another all-inclusive it’s a destination thoughtfully designed for every kind of family. From toddlers to teens, parents to grandparents, and families with unique needs, Beaches goes above and beyond to create an experience that’s welcoming, worry-free, and genuinely fun for all.

Here’s why families love returning to Beaches again and again:

Certified Autism Center Designation: All Beaches Resorts are recognized by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES), making them one of the only resort chains with a formal commitment to inclusion and accessibility. This is a huge reassurance for families traveling with a child on the spectrum but also speaks to Beaches’ overall attention to guest comfort and care.
Trained and Friendly Staff: Every team member, from Kids Camp counselors to front desk hosts, is known for their warmth, patience, and professionalism. Staff go through extensive training to ensure exceptional guest service, creating an atmosphere that feels welcoming and stress-free especially helpful for first-time travelers or families with young kids.
Beaches Buddies (One-on-One Childcare): Want a quiet dinner, a beach nap, or a couples massage while your child is safely entertained? For an additional fee, families can book a private Beaches Buddy a specially trained caregiver who provides personalized attention and supervision so parents can relax guilt-free.
Unmatched Kids Programming: Beaches Resorts offer age-specific kids clubs with activities tailored to every stage from toddler splash time to teen DJ scratch academies. There’s no pressure for kids to participate, and staff are flexible and supportive, creating a “go-at-your-own-pace” vibe families love.
Sensory & Quiet Spaces: While especially beneficial for children with sensory sensitivities, the calming areas and quiet spaces around the resorts are also great for mid-day naps, overwhelmed toddlers, or parents in need of a breather.
Flexible Dining Options for Every Palate: With up to 21 dining experiences per resort, there’s something for everyone from gourmet steak and sushi to kid-approved pizza and mac & cheese. Buffets, à la carte, and grab-and-go options make it easy to find food that works for even the pickiest eaters or those with allergies and dietary preferences.
Year-Round Themed Events & Programming: From beach bonfires and Sesame Street parades to holiday celebrations and the annual Autism Inclusion Week, Beaches packs every stay with fun extras that make each visit feel unique and memorable.

Why Autism-Friendly Travel Matters

Families of children with autism often face barriers that make traditional vacations difficult from the unpredictability of travel days to accommodations that aren’t designed with sensory needs in mind. In fact, studies show that most autism families choose not to travel at all, despite a strong desire to.

But that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way.

Travel With Confidence and Community

When resorts and travel professionals take the time to understand and accommodate these needs, travel becomes not only possible but truly enjoyable. Families get to create lifelong memories without the added stress, and children with autism get to experience the joy of vacation in a way that feels safe and empowering.

We know the questions you’re asking because we’ve asked them too. Many of our CATP agents are special needs parents or caregivers themselves, so we have been there.
