We did a 6-hour private tour with Captain Dario from Tropic Sea Adventures, and the experience was incredible from start to finish. From snorkeling and fresh conch salad to a floating restaurant and a beautiful secluded beach, every stop was amazing.

The communication, attention to detail, safety, and personal touches (including a surprise birthday cake for my son!) made the day unforgettable. His assistant took photos throughout the trip and shared them with us afterward.

If you’re visiting Nassau, I can’t recommend Tropic Sea Adventures enough. They helped create memories our family will remember forever!

Baha Mar (Nassau, Bahamas)🇧🇸 Baha Mar

This resort has been on our must visit list for a while and it did NOT disappoint.

Couple or family friendly it truly has it all. There are so many options to choose from, and the beach is absolutely perfect, just steps away from your hotel.

We loved all the extras like the flamingo parade, touch pool experiences (extra cost), and even interactions with baby sharks and turtles (extra cost).

It is a massive resort, so definitely pack your walking shoes. But honestly, there is so much to do, see, and eat you never even have to leave the property if you do not want to.

For our family, the water park was a huge highlight. From smaller, kid friendly areas to full on thrill slides, not so lazy river and surf simulator. There was something for all ages.

Massive casino on property along with 25 plus different places to eat! So many options

Tips: We have stayed in both towers and prefer the East.
East Tower (Best for Families and Convenience)Closer to casino, restaurants, shops and main pools. More contemporary decor. 

West Tower (Best for Couples and Relaxed Vibe)Closer to the beach and spa on the quieter side of the resort. Tropical island inspired room decor.

Orlando, FL
If you’re looking for the ultimate Orlando getaway, Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress has it all! This massive resort is loaded with included amenities from a rock climbing wall and putt-putt green to bikes, paddle boards, kayaking, and even fishing on the lake.

You’ll also find two incredible outdoor pools, including a 10,000 sq. ft. heated zero-entry Grotto Pool with waterfalls and plenty of seating to relax under the Florida sun.

With multiple dining options right on property and easy access to Disney Springs, you’ll never run out of things to do (or eat!). It’s the perfect base for Disney (daily shuttles available ) but also an amazing long-weekend escape even if the theme parks aren’t on your list.

Whether you’re after adventure, relaxation, or family fun, this resort truly has something for everyone!

New Orleans, La
Wrapped up a stay at The Eliza Jane in New Orleans and y’all, it’s a vibe!

Tucked away just a few blocks from the French Quarter, this place nails that sweet spot between historic charm and modern boutique style. Exposed brick, velvet chairs, warm lighting, and more cozy corners than you can count.

Lounging:
The perfect hangout spot does exist. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail in The Press Room, kicked back with a book in the atrium, or soaking up the chill vibes in the courtyard there’s a spot for every kind of mood.

Dinning:
Couvant: French brasserie with Southern flair, blending classic techniques and New Orleans flavors. Offering breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
We enjoyed breakfast at the restaurant, where the menu beautifully reflected that blend ranging from pain perdu to savory shrimp and grits. A perfect start to the day in such a stylish setting.

Highly recommend if you’re into boutique hotels that feel both stylish and soulful.

Hana, Maui (Hana-Maui resort)
A resort that still has me wishing I back watching the sunset over the Hawaiian skies.

The adventure begins as soon as you leave Kahului Airport, embarking on a 50-mile journey along the winding roads of the famous Road to Hana. Upon arrival at this charming hotel, the outdoor check-in feels like a warm embrace. You’re greeted with a Hawaiian shell necklace, a warm hand towel, and a refreshing welcome punch. Instantly, you’re transported to the tranquil east side of Maui, surrounded by lush rainforest and sweeping ocean views. While the boutique-style hotel is tucked away, a truely beautiful highlight are the oceanfront bungalows. Create memorable moments waking up every morning to the painted skies of the Hawaiian sunrise and winding down each night on your private lanai, equipped with a daybed, gazing up at the star-filled sky in your slice of serenity. If the natural beauty wasn’t enough, the staff is always ready to make every moment extraordinary.
