| Are you talking about a resort known as Beaches, or the beaches in general?....If a resort, I'm sure they have trained their staff to attend to your needs. If about the beaches, and the island in general, Yes, I have a definite opinion...and the tourism board of T&C won't like it. We had a scuba diving vacation there. The people were very unfriendly. Snobbish. Wait persons could care less if you sat for 15 minutes in their presence for your morning coffee. Smiles would fracture their stone faces. Never a pleasantry uttered. I'm a well-travelled person, and as a whole, the people of T&C are the least friendly I've ever encountered. Now, I was told this beforehand, and thought to myself, this can't be true, being a people person, and usually very Will Rogers like ("I never met a man I didn't like..."). But it was true. The diving was spectacular. We (DH and me) decided that when we go back for the great diving, we will do a "live-aboard" dive boat experience, and not bother with the locals again. Now, the people on the island of SABA, N.A. are wonderful, charming, and friendly. Unless your kids snorkel and love it, there will not be much to do, unless "Beaches" provides it. Sorry, I know this is not what you want to hear. |
