"Beaches Resorts" is the family brand of the Sandals chain of all-inclusive resorts. Jamaica has three Beaches resorts; Beaches Sandy Bay is located on 1,000 feet of famous Seven Mile Beach in Negril in the northwest of the island.
For families with young kids, a special perk is Beaches' partnership with Sesame Street: with milk-and-cookie time and other events with characters from this popular show. Another sponsor, Crayola, provides art-making activities, such as sidewalk-chalk murals and model-clay magic wands.
Beaches Sandy Bay is a smaller more intimate-style resort, and is Beaches' "value" option; those who want more can use guest privileges at Beaches Negril (-- see more, below.)
