Meeting Julia - Sesame Street - Beaches Resort, Ocho Rios

Introducing the latest addition to the Sesame Street family, Julia!

At Beaches, they give kids extra attention with tailor-made fun just for them, offering age-appropriate activities for kids of all ages.

In 2017 they become the first resort company in the world to become Autism certified centres. As an addition they have introduced a new Sesame Street Character called Julia, she is a sweet and curious 4-year-old girl with autism. I had the pleasure of meeting Julia in May on my recent trip to Jamaica, and what a lovely experience, she was very shy but agreed to having her picture taken. You have to say "hello" quietly and be softly spoken around her. She enjoys engaging activities, and her favourite activity is painting, as it allows her to express herself through art.

Having met Julia in her calm, and quiet environment, I really got to understand just what Beaches resorts have to offer and how important the new character is to the resort. I found the whole meet and greet experience quite over whelming, Julia is the cutest thing, and has really settled into the Sesame Street family.

Meet and greet experiences can be arranged at Beaches and if you prefer a one to one nanny, this can also be arranged at a small cost. VIP Packages are available and can be booked in resort.

Night Night, Sleep Tight: Bedtime tuck in service. Wishes come true, even before their head touches the pillow! In a calm, quiet environment, one of five Sesame Street characters will join in on some relaxing stretches, a bedtime story, and a sweet lullaby before tucking your child in for the night.
