Parrot Cay raises its game this summer as a family-friendly resort
with new tailormade activities for children– and new deals to make it even better value
At Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos, families aren’t relegated to specific pools or parts of the property; nor are children confined to kids’ clubs. Here, whatever the age, little people are considered part of Parrot Cay’s spirit. In keeping with this approach, the resort has therefore launched new family-friendly deals for the summer, as well as a range of tailormade activities.
Until 8th September 2009, children 12 years and under eat for free from Parrot Cay’s children’s menu. In addition, we’re making it all the more affordable by offering seven nights for the price of five. This offer, entitled ‘Extend that Summer Feeling’, is valid until 20th December 2009 (certain black-out periods apply) on all room categories, including private residences. The offer is inclusive of breakfast as well as return airport transfers (for commercially scheduled flights only).
Once here, and children of every age will find vast amounts to do. For each family, the resort provides tailormade activities – at an hour that suits the guest. This is set up on the first day after a consultation with Peter Capezza, Parrot Cay’s Guest Services Manager, who will help advise on a bespoke schedule of activities. These might range from shell painting to tie-dying T-shirts, to making necklaces from fossilised shark teeth. We can organise pirate scavenger hunts as well as sailing adventures around the island of Parrot Cay or even further afield. This allows children to make friends with other kids – and have a holiday they will remember – as well as allowing parents time to recoup with an hour or two of Yoga, a treatment at COMO Shambhala Retreat, or a late dinner while the children are hanging out watching a film with a babysitter. Our staff are all experienced, nurturing and used to dealing with every age group.
We have also now developed a programme of activities that includes children and parents, from excursions to islets for snorkelling as well as castaway picnics. Parents can spend some time in the spa while their kids are making kites with our staff, and afterwards, the whole family can fly it on the beach while we prepare a beachside barbecue.
Our villas themselves keep getting better and better for family groups – a trend that’s gaining momentum even in the economic downturn. The resort has built a number of two and three-bed villas on the beach – at Parrot Cay, with its mile-long swatch of beach, everyone can find their privacy – as well as larger private residences for family gatherings of up to 18 to 25 people.
