Beaches Resorts, the family travel experts with four Luxury Included® resort locations in Turks & Caicos and Jamaica, proudly announce the addition of two major partnership extensions, bringing two programmes to Beaches Resorts: the immediate introduction of Martha Stewart Crafts StudioTM at Beaches and the autumn debut of Sesame Street’s Big Bird as part of Beaches Resorts’ extended partnership with Sesame Workshop.

               

For nearly 20 years, Martha Stewart and her team of experts have been inspiring crafters of all ages and levels to create beautiful things. Now, beginning immediately, Beaches Resorts will exclusively offer five unique Martha Stewart Crafts StudioTM classes using Martha Stewarts CraftsTM tools to glitter, stencil, paint and more, in which Beaches Resorts guests will come away with a handcrafted, personal souvenir of their stay.  Postcard, Punch and Stencil Fashion and Glitter classes are recommended for family members 6 and up with Scrapbooking and Stencil Fashion classes recommended for ages 9 and up, but younger kids are welcome if accompanied by an adult. All classes cost $10 each with the exception of the Postcard Class, which is $8.

Starting August 22nd, Beaches Resorts, in celebration of their continued partnership through 2015 with Sesame Workshop – the nonprofit educational organisation behind Sesame Street, will welcome Big Bird to Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa and Beaches Negril Resort & Spa.  Big Bird joins Sesame Street friends Elmo, Zoë, Grover, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, The Count and Bert & Ernie for the exclusive Beaches Resorts’ Caribbean Adventure with Sesame Street.

 

According to Adam Stewart, CEO of Sandals Resorts International (Beaches Resorts’ parent company), working with quality companies in order to provide exclusive opportunities for guests has helped the resort company differentiate itself in a marketplace where value matters.  “Martha Stewart and Sesame Workshop are two highly recognisable and trusted consumer brands,” said Stewart.  “We are proud to call them our partners and even more so, to delight guests of all ages with these exclusively unique and enriching experiences – from Baking with Cookie Monster for toddlers to Scrapbooking for teens and tweens..”
