Best Things to Do at Beaches Resorts for an Autism Friendly Vacation

Are you in the process of thinking about a Caribbean vacation? Do you want to stay at an all-inclusive that will have everything your autistic family needs? If you said yes to both questions, I recommend staying at a Beaches Resort in the Caribbean! There are so many amazing things for autistic families to do at Beaches Resorts. You can easily plan an autism-friendly vacation in the Caribbean when you stay at any of the Beaches Resorts. Today, I am sharing some of the best things to do at Beaches Resorts for an autism-friendly vacation. 

Best Things to Do at Beaches Resorts for an Autism Friendly Vacation

Water Sports

Most autistic kids love the water. So, you know a lot of your time at Beaches Resorts will be spent in the ocean, swimming pools, or waterparks. 

The waterparks are perfect when everyone wants to rush down massive waterslides, shoot off the water cannons, and relax in the lazy river. 

Down at the ocean, your family will love riding the aqua trikes. These two-person bikes allow you to pedal across the surface of the water. It’s a fun adventure everyone will love!

Other water sports adventures include snorkeling, glass bottom boat rides, kayaking, and bodyboarding. 

Certified Kids Camp

One of the favorite things to do at Beaches Resorts for autistic families is attend the kid's camp. The kids camp at Beaches Resorts are all Advanced Certified Autism Centers. So, every staff member is trained to care for autistic children and kids with other disabilities. 

Activities are offered for kids of all ages and abilities. The staff will work closely with your child to ensure that he or she is having fun while in their care. 

You can even request a One-on-One Beach Buddy with your child for a few hours each day or for your entire vacation. We can chat more about these options as I am planning your next autism-friendly vacation. 

Beaches Caribbean Adventure with Sesame Street

Your kids will have a blast while enjoying adventures with their favorite Sesame Street characters. They can create art with Julia, move and groove with Zoe and Rosita, bake with Cookie Monster, enjoy tea time with Abby Cadabby and Elmo, and so much more. 

There are also VIP experiences that include character breakfasts and photo shoots. 

Entertainment All Day and Night Long

Okay, you probably won’t be able to experience all the entertainment during your Beaches Resort stay. However, you should check out the live street parades and talent shows. 

You may be able to watch some of them while your kids are at the kids' camp. 

As you plan your autism-friendly vacation at Beaches Resorts, I recommend you add a Sesame Street stage show, fashion show, and even talent show to your itinerary. Everyone wins the talent show, so let all the kids in your family go up and show off their talent if they want to. 

XBOX Lounge

The Xbox Lounge can be a fun, autism-friendly destination at specific times of day. If your autistic child loves to play video games, you may want to visit this area occasionally during your vacation. 

Later in the day and evening will be busier than earlier. So, plan your visit accordingly, and your autistic child won’t become overstimulated. Ear muffs may be helpful if it is loud in this room, even during quieter times. 

These are some of the best things to do at Beaches Resorts for an autism-friendly vacation. However, they don’t include any of the excursions you can venture out on during your stay. Let’s chat about what the perfect autism-friendly vacation at Beaches Resorts would look like for your family. Then, I can plan exactly what everyone wants and needs so you can sink your toes in the sand and get some relaxation sooner rather than later!
