This is also the center for evening entertainment, which is low key, with local bands and a few in- house competitions. The French Village also houses several of the resorts best restaurants. There is an adults-only spot called Sapodillas. The resort provides an Ultra Nannies service for such contingencies. The nannies are local babysitters paid by the hour.
Beaches offers Japanese, French and Mexican food, although the latter was disappointing.
Our favorite place was Schooners, which serves seafood al fresco, next to the dunes. Where Beaches excels is in its ability to offer something for everyone in the family. The recently opened Pirate Island is a haven for kids and teens. The complex is shaped like the prow of a ship pointing into a pool. With its water slides and bridges, Pirate Island is the focus for the kids' clubs that operate throughout the day.
