I'm at the new Treasure Beach at Beaches Turks and Caicos. This is the newest village over here at Beaches. This video, I'm going to take you all around the property, just Treasure Beach. So we're going to show you some rooms. I'm going to take you to 2 or 3 rooms. We're going to go have dinner at Butch's. We're going to go to Pinta, which is the new food hall. Then we're going to go catch a movie upstairs. Stairs at the new movie theater. So this is the view from the lobby at Treasure Beach. So to get your bearings, let me show you. So as soon as you walk in, just over here to the right, this is the new kind of food area. There's a Butch's off to the right, and then there's Pinta which is the food hall right over there as well. Then you have 101 rooms. Most of the rooms are over here on my side, or they're above me. You have some Butler Villas. You have 6 Butler Villas right out here. Of course, you have the swimming pool, and then you're right on Grace Bay. You have almost a half mile on Grace Bay. So from one resort, which is Old Key— which is Key West— I always say Old Key West because I'm always over at Disney World. From Key West all the way to Treasure Beach is almost a half mile of beautiful white sand beaches. So if I look back towards the lobby, you have this cute little fountain with all the turtles. This is the main building where we just came in from. Okay, so we're at Pinta. So this is the food hall. This is where you can have breakfast, which is a brunch. You could have lunch or dinner. Now, Pinta, I believe, is named after the Christopher Columbus, one of his three ships So back in 1492, there was the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. So those 3 ships sailed through the Caribbean, and I think Beaches is leaning into kind of that discovery Caribbean heritage. And they also have a little bit of fun theming that goes along with it. So let's go on into Pinta. And take a look at breakfast. Good morning. Good morning. Hey. Oh, so this is the breakfast buffet. So you have everything set up here. Wow, it looks amazing. Then you have all of your hot food items over here on the side. They got a bunch of unique little choices. And then you have breads, pastries. Wow, they have a lot of unique stuff. You got pizza, little breakfast pizza going on. Good morning. Then you've got your juice bar over here. It's nice in here. So then you have all this seating area over here as well. So you got a huge seating area. Now I've had lunch and I've had dinner here. Later Later we'll go— later I'll go to breakfast and I'll tell you about breakfast, but it looks amazing. And there's also this outside seating area, which I love, because you can sit right out here, right by the pool. They have tables for large parties, they have tables for two, and then back over here is additional seating also as well. So since we're over here, let me take you to my favorite place for dinner, which is Butch's. Now Butch's, if you're familiar with Sandals, Sandals has Butch's at a lot of their resorts. It's their favorite, or my favorite, steakhouse, so they brought it to Beaches. I had dinner here. I had the surf and turf last night, which was amazing. It's right over here. So this is the entrance right here to Butch's. It's right at the front of the resort. All right, so I'm in Butch's. Butch's now has breakfast, so it's à la carte, it's walk-in, so no reservations needed for breakfast. It has this really cool kind of tropical theme, nautical theme to it as well. There's also no lunch, but they also have dinner. I had dinner right out here on the patio last night and it was fantastic. Steak, lobster, spinach, uh, what was the— oh, banana foster, which was also amazing. So here's the Butch's breakfast menu. They've got a smoothie bowl, they've got Cinnamon roll French toast, chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes. Oh my gosh, lobster omelet, steak and eggs, bagel platter, Eggs Benedict. So all kinds of great options for breakfast over at Butch's. So let me take you to the pool. The pool is unlike any pool you've seen, um, All right, let me just show you. So right when you first come in, zero entry, beautiful. I mean, look at this pool, that is absolutely stunning. And you have all of your dining right next to you. You have all of your rooms surrounding this beautiful alcove of a pool. It's almost 8 in the morning, and there's still a ton of pool chairs available. You have all of these right here are your Butler Cabanas. So these are reserved, so they give you the lounge chairs, this covered area. You have a cooler back there for drinks. They'll come around for lunch. These are dotted around the entire side of the pool. If you have kids that want a fun little splash area, that is already built into the pool right here. So you have a little splash area, you have a, you have a little slide. So there is a water park already here. And look, there's a little area, there's a little zero-entry area to the pool right here. And the water temperature is perfect. It's just nice. It's not cold, it's not burning hot like a jacuzzi. So all of your rooms are just right up here, kind of surrounding this area. So past the little splash area, again, more Butler cabanas all over here. This is where your slide is. So if you go up here— so this is a good entry-level slide. So if you have little kids that aren't ready to go on a slide, they want their first slide, it just comes right around and it just empties right here into this little area. So it's really safe and easy to get them after they come off the slide. So let's look at the rest of the pool from up here. Grace Bay right out there, so very close. Off to my right, we'll take you over there, but that's a swim-up. And then there's all this recessed seating, which is Super cool. Loads of lounge chairs out here. Now, if you haven't been to Beaches before, you can stay at any of the villages. You can stay at the French Village, you can stay at the Caribbean Village, you can stay at Key West, you can stay at the Italian Village or New Treasure Beach. You can use all 11 pools plus the water park. All included. Doesn't matter what room category you're in or where you're staying, it's all one resort. So we're down to the pool that is closest to the beach. It connects— this pool is like one giant maze. It's like a maze. Like, look, there's like— this is like a little cross bridge. If I didn't have sneakers on, I could walk right over there. If I had flip-flops on— I don't even know if they call them flip-flops. Do they still call them flip-flops? So this is the pool right by the beach. There's still another pool. There's an Affinity Edge just out here right by the water that's super popular. I think this is where most of the adults hang out. So this is where I would also hang out, like all the way out here. So beautiful sunrise. So all these lounge chairs here, we're getting closer to the beach. There's a really nice breeze through here, and you can see everybody's over here in the infinity edge pool. They're all taking photos. So look, there you go. There's a— so you've got infinity edge pool right here. So, all right, so I told you about the swim-up bar. So swim-up bar is right here. So you've got seating right here at the bottom, and you can surround the bar, and then you also have tables at this one, which is nice because the other resorts, even the Sandals Resorts, really don't have these built-in tables right here. So you can have a group, you order your drinks right there, and you have a group. You also have these recessed seating areas right by Pinta. We'll go over there on the way out, but look at this. So this is like the perfect Instagrammable moment. It's really shallow right here. I mean, I don't know if you can tell, but it's maybe like 3 or 4 inches deep, um, right here. And then it goes deeper, and then it has an infinity edge at the very end. Now you can also get a Butler Cabana right out here, and they're getting all those set up. And then they have your hot tub right here. And then look, Grace Bay, the famous Grace Bay Beach. Look how beautiful it is. It's about 8 o'clock, almost 8:05 in the morning. It is March, and look how beautiful this is out here. Tons of lounge chairs. I mean, lounge chairs as far as the eye can see. They just go all the way down. So this is the Infinity Edge pool. So it's a step up, like it is definitely a Beaches 2.0 type of resort. It's an amazing step up. And I love how the breeze just comes right through here, so it's really refreshing, not too hot. And then you also have a matching kind of jacuzzi over here on this side. So I'm going to take you There are 6 Butler Villas. There are 2 on my left and there's 4 on my right. These have 4 bedrooms. If you've seen my videos on Key West, there's 3 and 4 bedrooms over there. So I think those sleep up to 10. So I believe that's what you can also get into these here. So they are right on the beach. So right here These are the 6 Butler Villas. They have their own little pool. So they have their own little pool. There's a little walkway right here, and you are literally— look, I mean, you're right on the beach. Like, Butler Villa, beach, right? So that's how close you are. They are super private, and then it comes all the way to the very end of the property. So, and look how calm this water is. Like, this is great snorkeling. Like, if you want to go snorkel on your own, just snorkel just a little ways down there. There's turtles down there. There's great— looks a little rocky down there. You can just get some snorkel gear here from beaches and go down there. But this whole beach— so behind me, it's almost a half mile to the other end of the resort, and it's all beachfront, and it's all like this. It's like your own little getaway. All right, so I got to take you to a movie theater. So I'm going to take you to the movie theater. I'm going to take you to one or two rooms. I'm going to show you— yeah, we'll go to two rooms. I'll show you the concierge level, which is your entry-level room over here at Treasure Beach. Now, the cool— oh, I guess, and I gotta show you a secret. I gotta show you, I got a really good insider tip. So let me take you to the other side of the resort first, and then we've got rooms, we've got my little insider tip, um, oh, and the movies. Oh, and the coffee. There's a coffee, uh, bar, so we're gonna go there. So let me get you over here. All right, so the thing I like about Pinta, which again is this food hall which has a bunch of options. So again, it's buffet for breakfast, and then it's a sit-down à la carte lunch and sit-down à la carte dinner. Now the thing I thought is like I want to come out here at the pool and I want to eat out here with my family and I want to bring the food out here. I don't want to sit down and wait. So, and nobody, nobody knows about this. So right over here past the swim-up bar. So here's Penta, right? So here's the food hall. And just down this little path, so, so you can get your bearings— swimming pool, Penta Food Hall, this little path right here. See this little unassuming window that you have no idea why it's there? That window, that window right behind me is a takeout window. So you can order the food items from Penta Hall. And I said, well, do you have to wait, or how do they— do they give you a beeper? And they go, no, they make them so quick that you just wait a minute or two, they give you the food items, then you can come eat right out here. You can take it back to wherever you're staying, and you can go really quick. So you don't have to sit down and do the whole dining experience. Now, there's so many— I think there's— it's either 4 or 5 dining options or types of cuisine. There's Italian, there's Asian, there's Mexican, there's Caribbean. That's 4. Maybe there's 4. I had, uh, one thing off of every menu. So I had the jerk chicken, the jerk platter. I had the conch salad from the Caribbean. I had like an Asian shrimp dish. I had calamari from Italian. I didn't have anything off the Mexican menu yet, but the Mexican menu looked great as well. So lots of options. They're kind of— they'll give you a full size, or if you have smaller group. If you're just you by yourself, they can give you a smaller portion size. Okay, then over here, if you want to eat out here, no lack of places to eat. They also have these— these are super cool. Look at this. So over here you can sit at these little tables. You have a giant umbrella and then you're recessed in this little dining area, and you're right by the pool. So you have this as your breakfast, lunch, or dinner spot, and they're all, they're all like little padded seats. Let's go get a coffee. They have a new little coffee house. It's kind of hidden. It's— let me show you here. So the main building Right over here on the right, kind of on the first floor, is Brew, B-R-U, which is Brew. Goodbye, beautiful, amazing swimming pool, and let's go over to Brew. So the thing that's different about Brew is they have cocktails. So you want an espresso martini? You want it with kahlua? I know it was really good. It was really, really good. So yeah, you could do that too. Maybe not at 8 AM, but later in the day. So also at night, because it does get chilly sometimes. But if it does get chilly, you have these giant fire pits. There's one here, there's another on the main lobby just right past that fountain. So two giant fire pits right outside the coffee place. So here you go, here's Brew. Let's go see what's brewing in Brew. What's brewing in Brew?
You got the whole brew or—
Yeah.
Wow, you got an Ethiopian or something?
Yes. What's good? What do you like? You like liquor? See, I know I was telling them that you could get an espresso martini, but it's like 8 AM.
You could get the espresso martini at 11 AM here.
Oh, at 11 AM.
Coffee options with some liquor in it.
What do you, what do you recommend?
There's that Black Pearl, right? You got tequila, Kahlúa, right in the bottom.
Oh, all right, let's try a Black Pearl. All right, let's give it a go. Thank you. All right, we'll give it a go. So this is Brew. They have a lot of little seating in here. I actually got some drink the Black Pearl at 8 AM with some liquor in it. So we're not going to drink all this. We're outside of Brew. I had to put my drink down. I can't drink, I can't drink that much alcohol at 8 AM. So we're outside of Brew. We're gonna go up to the movies. I mean, I'm already tempted. I'm already tempted by the cookies, but I need to take my time So we're going to go up these beautiful staircase, and there's a movie theater right up here. I think it's the Starfish movie theater. So we're going to go right up here. Oh, I see it already. So just at the top of these stairs. Oh, this is cool. Oh yeah, look at that. Oh, there you go. I have this same painting over my bed. Mm-hmm. So we've got movies during the day. We've got— today we got Hook.
And you've got—
look, and all of this is included. So you've got popcorn, you've got a popcorn machine. We've got drinks. Good morning. And then off to the side, the Starfish Cinema. I think there's somebody in there. Let's go see. Which one do you think would be Harry Winkle's favorite store? The paint shop? The magic shop? Oh, it's empty. Or the shoe store. Look, the magic shop! We're gonna— the magic shop! Because magic is periwinkle! We're watching Blue's Clues looking for a lost stuffy. So if only there were a lost— this is awesome. I think this seats over 32 people. You've got your stadium seating. And they've got a huge screen up here, so it's really nice. So which one is Presto? They have little blankets out here outside the movie theater. So right outside the movie theater, little blankets, all your concessions. There's something playing in there, like right now Blue's Clues is playing in there, but there's actual movies playing in there later during the day. So it's nice and air-conditioned. So if you want, or if it's a rainy day, perfect option. So that's pretty cool. We've seen the movie theater, we went to Brew for coffee, we went through the buffet. So let's go, let's go take a look at the room. So right here Most of your main rooms are right here. So we're going to go up to this building. So 5 stories in this building. We've got a room on the 3rd floor. We've got a room on the 5th floor. The room I'm going to show you on the 3rd floor is kind of your, I guess, entry-level room. Um, all the rooms— this is cool too— all the rooms at Treasure Beach come with room service, even if it's concierge level. So normally you would have to have a butler level room, and then if you had a butler level, you would get room service. But every room category here at Treasure Beach comes with room service. So Let's go ahead, take a look at the concierge room.
Now this is the master bedroom, kind of right by the balcony that has this beautiful view outside. This couch area at the foot of the bed, also a great little area with tables, and it looks right outside. Now this is the bunk bed. As soon as you walk in, there's these two bunk beds. For the kids area. They have their own little mirror, hooks, TV, and then they have their own separate bathroom. And this room shuts off from your room, so that's their bathroom for the kids.
So what'd you think of the concierge level room? I mean, it's pretty nice. You've got the little bunk beds that are nice. You've got a great view of the swimming pool, little area for the kids. It's all to the themselves. I mean, you've got these villas too that I showed you from the beach that are right here on the water. I'm in the Butler Villa. This is 4-bedroom, 3-bath, sleeps up to 10 people. Now there's 6 of these units. As soon as you walk in, off to the left, you've got a great bedroom right here. The islands of Turks and Caicos right above. These huge big screen TVs, lots of hooks, tons of space for luggage and amenities, and a little area over there. You have a desk area. They have put all these little radios in all these rooms too. They've also hidden these USB connections, so right here, US plugs and USB-C right there, so you can plug in all your electronics at night. And then when you walk into the main area, you've got this beautiful little minibar area. You've got a little place to sit in the kitchen so you can have meals here. This is great for like an extended family. Beautiful living room. Another seating area right next to the stairs in the kitchen. You can stargaze right up over here on the left, and then you've got a living room right here as well. Outside, beautiful area outside. You've got your own pool. Grace Bay, one of the best beaches in the Caribbean, is right there. That beach is amazing. A half mile of beach. Is what Turks and Caicos Beaches Resort is sitting on. Lots of lounge chairs out here as well. So you go back inside. So again, living room. You do have a microwave here as well. So if you wanted to do some popcorn or something like that, you have all your drinks, all your wines. This is all included.
That's right there.
Coffee machine, Blue Mountain Coffee, everything you need right here. And then we're going to go upstairs, 3 stories. Okay, so we're on the second of 3 stories. So living room, you've got a beautiful little media area right here. TV, you can hang out, watch some movies. Great place if you bring the kids or the extended family. Past that, on the second floor, another bathroom. This is bathroom number 2 out of 3. Amazing little area for the kids. My kids, my kids love these bunk beds. 2 bunk beds. There's so much storage, I can't even get it all on the camera. Saves drawers, places for all your luggage, two bunk beds, places for games. Oh, there's little stairs, little— they got little stairs. Look, you can even plug your stuff in up here. They can plug in their iPads and everything, charge everything up there while they're in bed. I love the bunk beds. They have reading lights also here at the bunk beds, so this is super cool. Hair dryer comes in all these rooms standard as well. All your Red Lane Spa products are here. Okay, on the second floor you also have this bedroom number 2 right here. Look at the view. Grace Bay is right out here. It's stunning. These doors open all the way up. I mean, look at this room. You've got king-size bed, closet right here behind you, huge closet. I mean, this closet's bigger than my closet at home. This is ridiculous. You've got your safe. Oh my gosh, wait till you see the— wait till you see the bathroom. The bathroom is absolutely amazing. So And then right out here, the view of Grace Bay is stunning. All right, I'm going to show you— I just peeked at the bathroom.
Here it is.
Look at that tub! That tub is— oh my gosh, it's like a whole room. There's a whole room in here for the bathroom. It's crazy. Look at this tub. Oh my God. Okay. Oh my gosh. Oh, it feels great in here too. So there's tub, more sinks. You cannot have enough sinks or back mirrors right here. And then toilet just off to the side. So this is the master. This is beautiful. Let me show you the view from out here really quick. So from up top, look, you have a pool right here, and then there is Grace Bay all in the background right out there. So that, that is the tour of the second floor. We have one more. We're going up the stairs to the third floor. Holy cow, getting my steps in. Here it is. So the third floor— oh my gosh, look at the view from up here. The view from up here is amazing. You have these loungers out here. Just picture yourself right here lounging and look at the water. You've got this amazing blue turquoise water that's right there. If you wanted to eat up here, a place to eat and cook right up here as well. This is the third bedroom. So right here you could just walk right out to the beach. This is how close you are. This is it. It is beautiful. So let's take a look at the third bedroom. It opens up right here to this little patio area. So you've got a little bed right here. It's got a little step. You've got your own TV. I mean, this is like your little hideaway. You got a TV up here, your own little air conditioning, your own little outlets right there so you can plug in. Closet, tons of space. This is where I would hang out. This is where I would hide. And again, pocket door. This is really nice. I mean, even the chandelier in here is stunning. So that's it. That's the third floor. 4-bedroom, 3-bath, sleeps up to 10, multi-gen, butler, right here on Grace Bay. We're just going down the stairs. We're on the second floor now. These rooms are a little more pricey than the rooms I'm used to to staying in. So if you're a cheap bastard like me, like sometimes I'll splurge and go to this village because this is spectacular. I mean, this is like the next level. This is amazing. You can also just stay at the French Village or the Caribbean Village, which are just steps away, and you can just walk right over here. You can enjoy Butch's, you can enjoy Penta, the food you can enjoy the pool, you can enjoy the beach at any of these villages. So you don't have to stay in this village, but the rooms, I mean, come on, the rooms are, the rooms are amazing. Oh, all right, another secret. I talked to the general manager yesterday at dinner and they are going to be taking So he came from Dunn's River, which is a Sandals resort. He's just recently came over here. Dunn's River is spectacular. So Sandals is for couples, Beaches is for families. So he came over to this resort. They're going to take this whole 2.0 concept through the entire Beaches Turks and Caicos resort, probably over the next 2 years. So the next village they're going to be redoing is the Caribbean Village, which is right next to this village. It's the little blue, uh, buildings. They're going to start with the East Village. So that—
this is March.
They might start as early as April on the East Village. So they're going to start going through village by village. Now their occupancy I'm here in March, their occupancy is almost 85%, 90%, which is super high. So it's going to be as they can get rooms available, they're going to start redoing them or taking buildings out of service and redoing them. So it's going to be unbelievable. So every little village is going to get the first Beaches 2.0 treatment. So if you need help and have any questions, you can leave a comment or my wife and I own Pixie Vacations. We have Pixies. They are travel agents. They'll work with you for no additional cost. Everything is already included, and we can get you to beaches and help you with all the different room categories, the best prices, the best time to come, and insider tips.
