Exclusive Travel by Karen

AI can book a trip. It can find a price and fill in a form.

It can't tell you which cabin is quiet, which resort just finished renovating, or which excursion is actually worth it. It has never walked the property, eaten at the restaurants, or sailed the the ship.

I have. For 29 years.

When a flight gets cancelled, when a river is too low to sail, when a resort changes your room, AI does not pick up the phone. I DO!

That is the difference between booking travel and having someone who knows travel in your corner.

Last full day at Moon Palace The Grand in Punta Cana, and what a fun one! Started the morning bowling at The Ninth Pin for an hour, then headed to the adults only pool and enjoyed a relaxing lunch poolside. Then off to the spa for a 25 minute massage and the hydrotherapy circuit, which was the perfect way to unwind. Dinner at Teppan by Momo tonight with the hibachi show cooking, then the white party to end the night. What a fun way to spend the last day here! Thank you to Stacie with Palace Resorts and Exclusive Travel Partners for this amazing experience.

Day 2 at Moon Palace The Grand in Punta Cana! Spent the morning touring the resort and there is so much to see. The rooms are beautiful, and I got to tour the Governor Suite and a Junior Suite with a golf course view. We also toured the restaurants, the kids clubs, the bowling alley, and the fitness center. This resort has something for everyone!

I am headed to Punta Cana on Monday!

Palace Resorts invited me to come tour the brand new Moon Palace The Grand which just opened this summer, and I can't wait to see it in person. I'll be touring different rooms, eating at the restaurants, and checking out the pools and spa so I can give you my honest feedback.

One thing I already love about this property is kids 17 and under stay, play, and eat free.

Follow along next week as I'll be posting photos! If Punta Cana is on your list, message me and let's talk!
