An All-Inclusive Resort is the Perfect Vacation for Mom!

An All-Inclusive Resort is the Perfect Vacation for Mom!

You are probably beginning to think about your summer vacation. The kids will be out of school, the weather will be perfect, but where should you go? Many people head to the beach for summer vacation, maybe renting a house or a condo. But this year especially, you may want to consider an all-inclusive vacation. This could be the perfect vacation for everyone in the family, especially mom! This year with COVID has been tough on everyone, but it has been especially tough on moms. If mom works full-time, she still has to get her job done, probably from home [...]

There’s a New Cruise Line in Town

There’s a New Cruise Line in Town

If you’re looking for an all-new cruise experience, look no further than Virgin Voyages. This is a new cruise line that began sailing in the fall of 2021. Virgin Voyages is a cruise line like no other, and it is amazing! There are a few things that are very different on a Virgin Voyages ship. First of all, these cruises are adult-only. With this in mind, their ships have a definite adult, modern feel to them, with amazing dining and nightlife options. The staterooms definitely have that modern feel to them, with a tablet in each room to control [...]

Can’t Cruise Now? Look at an All-inclusive Resort Instead!

Can’t Cruise Now? Look at an All-inclusive Resort Instead!

At least once a week I have a client ask me when cruising is going to resume. I wish I could say they will start tomorrow! Just this week more cruise lines extended their cancellations into the summer. Unfortunately, it will take some time for the CDC and cruise lines to work together to ensure cruising can be done safely. So, where can you go to get the same feeling like a cruise? Maybe an all-inclusive resort is a right substitute! Cruises and resorts aren’t identical, but they do have many aspects in common. First, let’s talk about all [...]

Sandals Montego Bay

Sandals Montego Bay

Sandals Montego Bay was the very first Sandals resort, opening in 1981. This resort is still among the most popular Sandals resorts, and I was fortunate enough to be able to visit it for myself last month. It is just a beautiful resort and should be on everyone’s list to visit. Sandals Montego Bay offers 272 rooms on 26 acres. Just a few years ago, this resort went through a multi-million-dollar renovation including a new lobby and main bar, new swim-up suites, new over-the-water wedding chapel, a new Latitudes overwater bar and three new restaurants! So if you’re thinking [...]

Where Can You Go in the Caribbean Now?

Where Can You Go in the Caribbean Now?

If you’re looking for a luxury all-inclusive vacation, then you’re in luck! Resorts are beginning to open up again. And these resorts are keeping their guests’ health and safety as their top priority. Some of my favorite all-inclusive resorts are Sandals and Beaches resorts. I love these resorts for many reasons, but mainly because almost everything is included in your price. This may include things like golf and scuba diving (for certified divers), wi-fi and transfers to and from the resorts. Sandals and Beaches resorts are also located on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and [...]

Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas

Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas

Our family recently returned from a weeklong voyage in the Allure of the Seas. It was relaxing, but not boring. We came home refreshed! What a great way to celebrate our anniversary, even if we did bring our two teens along. Allure is one of Royal Caribbean's four Oasis-class ships, Royal Caribbean's largest class of ships. While each ship is different, you can find many of the same facilities on each ship. I was planning to tell you all about all 7 neighborhoods on the ship.

Beaches Negril

Beaches Negril

There are three Beaches resorts; two in Jamaica and one in the Turks & Caicos. I visited the Turks & Caicos location with my family a few years ago, and last month I was fortunate enough to be invited to explore Beaches Negril. My husband and I enjoyed this beautiful resort so much, and so will you! Beaches Negril is located on the widest stretch of Negril’s Seven Mile beach. This beach has amazing white sands, and I’ll bet that you will want to spend most of your time there. And with the many water sports that are included in [...]
