The concept for a family all-inclusive resort, was spawned partly from a demand by many of the guests at Sandals Resorts who had become parents and wanted their whole family to have the "Sandals" experience. Sandals Chairman
Gordon "Butch" Stewart felt that the creation of a family friendly resort was a strategic move that would pay dividends in the future.The Beaches Brand began in February 1997 with the opening of Beaches
Negril , it was followed soon after by Beaches Inn (formerly Ponciana). The name was a failed attempt to create a new brand of hotels by making a tie in with the more established sister hotel Sandals Inn, the resort would later be renamed Beaches Sandy Bay. Beaches Turks and Caicos would be the next one in the series followed by the resorts firstCuba property BeachesVaradero (because U.S. visitors are not permitted easy travel, this resort is not marketed in the U.S., but is marketed heavily in Canada, Latin America, and Europe.The resorts have seen numerous changes and upgrades, most notably with Beaches Turks and Caicos, which is the largest and Beaches Negril.
