🌴 Just booked: a girls trip to Cabo! 🌴

Four friends are heading to the adults-only RIU Palace Baja California to celebrate TWO birthdays. That sounds like an excellent reason for poolside drinks, gorgeous ocean views, sunset toasts and plenty of laughs 🍹🎂🎂

I love helping friends turn “we should take a trip” into “we’re going!”

Cabo, here they come! ☀️

A private airport transfer may be more affordable than you think!

As a general rule, once you have 3 or more people traveling together, the cost of a private transfer can often be close to, or even LESS than, paying for shared transportation.

And even with just 2 travelers, the difference may be small enough that it’s worth asking yourself: How much is my vacation time worth?

Instead of waiting for a shared bus to fill up and potentially stopping at several resorts along the way, a private car or SUV is waiting for your party and takes you directly to your resort.

More vacation 🌴 Less waiting

In my year and a half of doing this I've never put my clients on a shared transfer - always private, always cheaper.

✨ BOOKED! ✨

I just booked my clients an absolutely DREAMY stay at El Dorado Casitas Royale… and they’re staying in a swim-up room! 😍🍹🌴

Picture this: wake up, grab your coffee (or let’s be honest… a mimosa 😂), and step right from your room into your own swim-up pool.

And this resort has SO much to love:
🏝️ Beautiful beachfront location
💦 Swim-up suites & private pools
🍽️ Gourmet dining with tons of restaurant options
🍹 Premium drinks & resort bars
💆‍♀️ Spa + hydrotherapy experiences
🌴 Lush, romantic grounds
❤️ Adults-only atmosphere
✨ And that whole “do absolutely nothing except relax” vacation vibe

I am SO excited for these clients! They are going to be spoiled, relaxed, and hopefully come home wondering why they ever had to leave. 😂

This is exactly why I love what I do—helping people find the kind of vacation that feels like a “WOW, we actually booked this?!” trip. 🌴☀️

Have a trip you’ve been dreaming about? Let’s make it happen. ✈️💙

Remember that multigenerational family trip to RIU Dunamar I posted about a few days ago?

Well, the grandparents decided that when the kids and grandkids head home, they’re not going with them. 😂👏

Instead, they’re extending their vacation and moving right next door to RIU Palace Costa Mujeres for a few extra days of relaxing!

They’ll get the same gorgeous Costa Mujeres beach, great RIU amenities and access to nearby RIU resorts through RIU’s exchange privileges, but now they get to enjoy a little quieter, grown-up vacation after the family portion of the trip. 🍹🏖️

And because RIU Palace Costa Mujeres is a Palace property, they also have the option to upgrade to Elite Club by RIU, which can include perks like:

✨ Preferred room locations and views
✨ Priority check-in or Late Checkout
✨ Upgraded minibar and premium liquor in the room
✨ Exclusive Elite Club pool areas
✨ An exclusive Elite Club restaurant and bar
✨ Premium drinks and other upgraded amenities

First vacation: RIU Dunamar with the whole family. ❤️
Second vacation: RIU Palace Costa Mujeres after sending the kids and grandkids home. 😎🍹

Because grandparents deserve a vacation after their vacation too. 😂 I love this plan!!

🌴 Just booked - RIU Dunamar in Costa Mujeres, Mexico! 🇲🇽

This one is for a multi-generational family trip, and I really love this resort for groups like this.

RIU Dunamar is located in Costa Mujeres, just north of Cancun’s Hotel Zone, and has one of the prettiest beaches in the area. There’s also a ton to do without ever leaving the resort:

💦 Splash Water World waterpark
🏊 6 pools
🍹 6 bars
🍽️ 6 restaurants
🎉 Great daytime entertainment
🎶 Live music and shows at night
🥳 Plus access to one of RIU’s famous parties!

One of my favorite things about Dunamar is the room setup. They offer family suites and connecting rooms, which can be a huge help when you’re trying to keep larger families together without everyone feeling crammed into one space.

And this family was also able to take advantage of exclusive nonstop flights from O’Hare to Cancun, which makes getting there that much easier. ✈️

Planning a trip for multiple generations can take a little extra work because you want something that keeps everyone happy - kids, parents and grandparents. This is one of those resorts that gives you a lot of options.

I can’t wait for them to experience it! 🌴☀️
