Montana was an absolute dream! 🤎

We stayed in Whitefish, which is the perfect home base for exploring Glacier National Park and the surrounding areas. Downtown Whitefish is one of the cutest mountain towns I've visited and is very walkable. There are great restaurants, local shops, breweries, and coffee shops everywhere you look!

The resort we stayed at was seriously perfect for this trip. It sits right on the Whitefish River, and the views were beautiful. We booked a balcony room and watched some incredible sunsets from our room. We also saw deer along the river almost every day! It felt peaceful and secluded, but we were still just a few minutes from downtown Whitefish, which made it the best of both worlds.

What really made this property stand out was everything included with your stay:

• Complimentary hot daily breakfast
• Indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub
• Complimentary kayaks and bicycles
• Seasonal treats (popcorn and s'mores kits during the summer)
• Riverside walking path with access to City Beach and downtown Whitefish
• Fitness center
• Game room
• Gear room where you can store ski equipment or borrow hiking gear and snowshoes at no additional cost
• Complimentary parking
• Complimentary airport and ski shuttle
• Private riverfront access with fire pits and outdoor gathering areas

A sample package for 5 nights in mid-September with flights from CVG, a rental car, and a balcony room at this resort is currently just $3,297 for two people!

Whitefish and Glacier National Park completely exceeded my expectations, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. If Montana is on your bucket list, I can't recommend this area enough! 🏔️✨

A few weeks ago, I did a site inspection at the incredible new Ocean Allure Costa Mujeres during my recent trip to Mexico 🏝️😍

I was so impressed with this adults only, all inclusive resort! It is priced really well, so I expected it to feel more budget-friendly, but it truly has such an upscale look and atmosphere.

The beach is absolutely beautiful, with a nice walkway leading to it and plenty of chairs available. There are multiple pools, including a lazy river, swim up bar, and FlowRider surf simulator 🤩

The activities are endless! There are pickleball courts, scheduled activities throughout the day, nightly shows and live music, pool tables, and even a bowling alley included in the price.

There are eight restaurants, including a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. We had lunch at the main buffet, and I was really pleased with both the variety and quality of the food. They also offered name brand liquors and great mocktails.

🗓️ June 14-19, 2026: $2,653 total

This brand new Riu resort in Cancun is officially open, and this pricing for FALL BREAK is hard to beat! ☀️🏝️

This family-friendly resort features multiple pools, a water park, beachfront access, kids clubs, nightly entertainment, and all-inclusive dining and drinks. It’s a great option for families wanting a newer resort experience in Cancun without paying the typical premium for fall break travel.

Early October is one of the most popular family travel weeks of the year, which usually means much higher prices and limited availability. This is a great opportunity to lock in a brand new resort during peak fall break travel at a really great price point!

🗓️Oct. 4-10, 2026
2 adults + 2 kids - $4733 total

Price includes nonstop flights from Cincinnati, all-inclusive resort accommodations, and private airport transportation. $900 deposit with the remainder due in early September ✈️🌴

Other departing airports are available as well as hotel and transfers only if you prefer to book your own airfare. Message or email me for more details or to book!

As always, I’m behind on posting, but my husband and I stayed at this gorgeous all inclusive resort just outside of Cancun the week before last! First, I felt extremely safe there and at the Cancun airport, so hopefully that helps ease anyone’s nerves about traveling to Mexico🌴

This is a budget friendly adults only resort and a favorite among clients, so I wanted to check it out myself. I was honestly super impressed! It’s also fairly new since it opened about 3.5 years ago.

🛏️ Rooms & Grounds:
This was seriously one of the cleanest resorts I’ve seen! Everywhere you looked, someone was cleaning and the grounds were very well kept. The rooms are modern with double sinks, and come with either a king bed or two doubles. Housekeeping is daily and you can request extras through the RIU app.

🍹 Food & Drinks:
I was really impressed with the drinks and loved the beach drink service! They had higher end liquor options like Patron at most bars if you requested them. There was always Dos Equis and Tecate on draft, plus other beers stocked in the mini fridge and restaurants.

The food was good too! The steakhouse was surprisingly great and the buffet had a huge variety. Fresh guacamole was always available at the buffet and poolside restaurant, which was a huge plus for me 😋 There are 4 specialty restaurants for dinner, the main buffet serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a poolside lunch spot.

🏝️ Beach:
The beach and ocean are stunning 😍 White sand, gorgeous water, and a swimmable ocean! This resort is in Costa Mujeres, north of Cancun, which is known for beautiful beaches (not all Mexico beaches are like this). Just keep in mind that sargassum can be common sometimes, especially in the summer months. One thing to note is though the resort is beachfront, the beach is very wide and there’s a decent walk to reach the beach chairs and ocean, so that could be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.

🏊 Pools & Amenities:
There are 4 pools, including 2 swim up bars. Most pools also have in water loungers for sunbathing. One pool without a bar still had a mobile drink cart during the day. Another really cool feature is the water slides, which are rare for an adults only resort and included with your stay! Non-motorized water sports like hobie cat sailboats and kayaks are also included.

🎉 Entertainment & Vibe:
There was plenty to do day and night with pool activities, nightly shows, and shuttles to the nearby RIU parties if you want more nightlife. There’s also a nightclub on site. The overall vibe is upbeat and lively, but you can still find quieter spots to relax!

Overall, this is a really solid resort and I’ll definitely keep sending clients here! The pricing is seriously so good, even with flights included. Message or email me for a customized quote. I’ll post some sample pricing in the comments!
