Warm up this winter by giving yourself and your family a beach vacation as a holiday gift. Book the deals soon for travel later in the winter — and don’t worry, this is one present that no one will want to return.

Beaches Resorts — Turks & Caicos and Jamaica

Beaches Resorts is offering a winter sale that’s similar to its fall discounts. If you’ve waited to book this family-friendly, all-inclusive trip that charms kids with imaginative children’s programs and waterparks, now is the time. Although blackout dates will block the bargains for much of spring break, if your kids are not in school or are in elementary grades where it’s easy to miss a few days of class, then these deals may make a Beaches’ vacation possible.

The savings apply to three properties — Beaches Turks & Caicos and Jamaica’s Beaches Ocho Rios and Beaches Negril. Families receive an air credit of up to $355; a winter booking bonus of up to $475; a savings of $35 by booking online; and up to a 65% savings on rooms when you book a minimum of three nights by December 13, 2016. Additional savings may include one free night when you book seven nights at both the Ocho Rios and Negril properties. Reserve by December 13, 2016 for travel January 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017. Blackout dates apply.
