I'll be there in July staying at Beaches the Italian village. Third straight year and will be my 5th time and this is the most relaxing vacation you can go with kids. Still get some good snorkeling too. Just a about 10 min walk to coral gardens. Always enjoy they breeze at night.

this was just a spur of the moment trip for me. coral gardens are where most fishes at and anywhere cafe has good food and music. jojo cafe has good burgers.

I went to Beaches last year, stayed in Butler Suite in Italian Village. It was really nice, but don't get the hype. Way overpriced IMO. Not my first rodeo with travel either.
I did snorkel there and got some nice videos.

agree, prices are 2x to 3x more but that's expected since tourism is their only revenue. high price doesn't always reflect good food though. ask the locals for good places for food.
For snorkeling? Cool will do. We're right by Smiths Reef. Good amount of things to see.

Beaches is all exclusive. All you can eat and drink. As for food not the best for sure but not the worst. Always go Mario Pizza if your hungry. It's true more a pasta food. Ribs are ok. It's a great vacation
Just got back this past Saturday. For those who roam for food like us, particularly cheap eats. This is my list of must tries, however most require some form of transportation preferably a rental car:
Sweet T's - $1 for 3 pieces of fried chicken, $1 for fries. $10 would feed a family of 4-5 people.
Chinson's Grill Shack - Great J erk Chicken/Pork, BBQ Ribs. Right off Leeward. Hutchinson, incredibly friendly owner, will chat up a storm if you allow him to.
3 Queens - Roadside, rustic, homemade local eats. No menu, daily 4 choices, can't go wrong with any of them. Literally off the beaten path in the Blue Hills, across the road from the beach. Sit and chat with the locals when waiting for food. Enjoy a rum and coke with a GENEROUS pour.
Turks Kebab - Roadside spot. Get the gyro!
Mr. Grouper's Restaurant - Don't miss the Mac 'n Cheese. All around great menu.
Caicos Bakery - Great breakfast spot. Ham and cheese croissant is a must!
Melt - Not cheap. Interesting shop with a little of everything. Good spot to chill in with AC and enjoy some iced coffee. Free wifi as well.
Island Fish Fry - Every Thursday evening a bunch local vendors setup shop in the Children's/Bight Park and sell their goods. Food, drinks and souvenirs. Live DJ and band.. don't miss! Parking is a PITA, you'll have to find parking off the side of Lower Bight Road.
Random thought - If flying out of JFK, try for an earlier flight. If you're catching the 11-ish AM flight and get into Provo at 3:30, be prepared to stand in customs for 45 mins to an hour. There's 3 flights arriving around the same time, and since it's island time, the line moves at SPS growth speeds.
Can't wait to go back for our 4th time, hopefully in a few months.
