There is something magical about the baby and beach combination. Even with the remnants of the flu, we enjoyed a week of early morning walks on a white beach with a pink sunrise backdrop, baby naps in a tent on the beach, and leisurely lunches of conch while baby ate puffs. Ten months is a fantastic age. She’s learning quickly and her personality just keeps getting larger.
Turks and Caicos is a wonderful destination with baby. We stayed in the Regent Palms. The rooms were large with kitchens, the staff was friendly and the hotel was filled with little ones. The only downside was the food but we found several local restaurants nearby. Being right on the beach allowed for us or her grandparents to stay with her during nap-time while the rest enjoyed the beach or the catamaran!
I had been told that the local grocery store was expensive and understocked. Using the great packing lists from TravelMamas, I packed as if we were an army going for a month. In truth, the store carried her unusual formula (Alimentium) as well as diapers, babyfood and pretty much anything else you’d need. It was a 5 minute taxi ride away. Items were about a third more expensive but I could have skipped some of the backup items. You need a carseat to get from the airport to the hotel and our inlaws had bought baby a seat on the plane. Our new wheels for the carseat by GoGo worked flawlessly. I didnt bring an umbrella stroller but probably would next time.
