A little behind-the-scenes look at one of the families I recently helped plan an unforgettable getaway for!
They’re headed to Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres and chose a Family Selection room — and this is SO much more than just picking a nicer room.
They’re getting an entire elevated family experience with their stay.
Here’s what their family can look forward to:
Their own Family Butler
From before they even arrive, their eButler can help personalize their stay. Once they’re there, their Family Butler can help with restaurant reservations, activities, transfers and those little details that make vacation easier.
Family Boss perks for the kids
The kids get their own special welcome goodies, mini bathrobes, slippers and towels, plus fun Family Boss experiences and activities. Depending on availability, they can even have special surprises like a bubble bath with toys and kid-friendly amenities.
Exclusive Family Selection spaces
They’ll have access to an exclusive Family Selection pool with waiter service, a reserved beach area and the Family Selection lounge — giving them spaces to relax away from the hustle and bustle while still having access to the entire resort.
Exclusive dining
They’ll have access to The Nest, the Family Selection restaurant, along with the Fizz Bar for premium drinks and BBQ lunch. They’ll also have access to the restaurants, pools, beaches and activities throughout Grand Palladium Select Costa Mujeres.
Upgraded room amenities
Their room includes personalized minibar options, premium beverages, Nespresso coffee, a pillow menu, personalized room aromas, beach and pool amenities and other special touches designed to make their stay feel a little more VIP.
And one of my favorite parts?
They get to enjoy all of this while I handle the planning.
Finding the right resort is one thing. Knowing which room category gives your family the experience you actually want is where having a travel advisor can make a huge difference.
This family isn't just going on vacation.
They're going on a vacation where the kids get spoiled, the parents get pampered, and someone else gets to worry about the details.
That's my kind of vacation.
