If you have kiddos under 10 and are asking me for a vacation I’ll be recommending you come here!!

This water park is at the Palace section, but this massive resort is comprised of 6 sections total Palace, Colonial, Tropical, Caribe, Beach and Adults section. You can use this water park when staying at any section, but there is a second kid waterpark at the Colonial.

Stay at 1 play and many.. this goes for restaurants too.

I’ve been wanting to visit this resort since I started selling travel. It has lived up to every bit of my expectation and more!!

I really enjoyed working with this lovely family who just returned from a week at Ocean Riviera Paradise in Mayan Riviera 🌊🌴

This is one of my fav family friendly properties in the Mayan Riviera. It’s a newer property with a great waterpark for the kids, endless options for dining & an extensive variety of room types to satisfy every taste.

IT'S NOT TO EARLY TO BOOK WINTER GET-A-WAYS!!!!

🌊🏝🦀

Sunwing’s Andrew Dawson Says This Is The Year To Book Winter Vacations NOW rather than wait til end of summer or first snowfall.

The combination of surging demand for travel and soaring prices for just about everything might just make this the year when clients will be truly wise to lock-in their winter vacations early.

“The one thing we are definitely seeing is increased demand from all markets for the Caribbean and Mexico for the coming winter,” Andrew Dawson, Sunwing’s president of Tour Operations told TravelPulse Canada.

“A great point to stress is that Sunwing isn’t only competing with ACV, Transat and WestJet Vacations for rooms and deals, but the rest of the world, most of whom book and plan far earlier than Canadians. So it’s a risky strategy this year to wait until too late if you have your heart set on a particular resort or destination.”

Sunwing is offering encouragement and security for travellers, with a limited time Early Booking Bonus for clients who reserve their all-inclusive 2022-2023 winter vacation packages by July 28.

The perks include reduced deposits of $100 per person, no fuel surcharge and Sunwing’s Price Drop Guarantee, offered complimentary as part of the early booking incentive.

“I think Canadians will want to book early because they can see pricing rising,” Dawson said. “The Price Drop Guarantee gives them a cushion in the opposite direction should prices drop.” (here is our personal view...prices will not drop!!)

Sunwing Winter Suggestions

Riu Latino is RIU Hotels & Resorts’ newest hotel in Mexico, set to open October 1 on the pristine shores of Costa Mujeres. Another Sunwing suggestion is the “larger-than-life amenities” at Royalton Luxury Resorts’ latest property Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun An Autograph Collection All Inclusive Resort, slated to open December 20.

In Cuba, Sunwing says the recent addition of Hotel Tesoro del Atlantico in Holguin offers international delights for guests of all ages, while the lavish accommodations including swim-out and rooftop suites are an attractive selling point at the new Coral Level at Iberostar Selection Esmeralda in Cayo Coco.

Check out these properties and book with confidence with a Travel Agent who looks after you your entire trip. Travel Agent prices are the same as on-line prices.

Shoot me a text at 1 (587) 785-3363 or email [email protected] to get started.

Sunwing’s early booking bonus is available on all-inclusive vacation packages with flights on board Sunwing Airlines booked by July 28, 20222, for departures between November 1, 2022 and April 30, 2023.

I couldn’t be happier for my clients who are celebrating their 20th Wedding 💍Anniversary & first trip in over two years in a Honeymoon Swim Out Suite at the beautiful Yucatan Princess 👸 in the Mayan Riviera!

Set on the beautiful shores of Riviera Maya, the adults only Platinum Yucatan Princess All Suites Spa and Resort is a sprawling luxury resort that’s perfect for romantic retreats and sociable getaways with friends. Soak up the sun on the white-sand beach that’s lined with comfortable loungers and shady palapas or head to one of the sparkling pools, including an activity pool with a weekly foam party and a tranquil pool with a swim-up bar.

Savour a variety of delectable dining options at buffet and á la carte restaurants serving up Tex-Mex classics, Italian favourites, Mediterranean-inspired dishes, sushi and teppanyaki specialties. You’ll also have access to the amenities and services at neighbouring sister resorts Grand Riviera Princess and Grand Sunset Princess. The fun doesn’t stop after the sun goes down – sip on a nightcap at one of the stylish bars, sing your heart out on karaoke nights, test your luck on casino night or take in some of the live entertainment.

Royal 👑 Caribbean is my number one pic for family & multi gen cruise travel!

I went on my first cruise at “24 and have been smitten even since.” This was well before I entered the travel industry & I’ll never forget people saying cruising is for when you’re retired or I’ll cruise when i can no longer enjoy the more active adventure travel.

Well after exploring the Worlds third largest ship at Sea 🌊 I can tell you there’s truly something for any and everyone & it’s all included!!

Our nights were filled with 5 star entertainment from aquatic diving shows, Broadway shows like Grease, dancers 💃, ⛸ & some of the best comedians I’ve heard from.

For parents, singles, friends, multi gen, toddlers, childrens, teens.. there is truly something for every age!!

Here are some of my fav activities on the ship 🚢:

- FlowRider surf
- Zip lining
- Outdoor movies on the big screen
- Starbucks 🌟 yes that’s an activity 🙃
- AquaTheater shows
- Arcade
- Mini-golf
- Rock Climbing Wall
- multiple slide parks
- Ultimate Abyss - slide that goes from top deck 15 down to 6 (was super fun btw 😍)
- Spa, Gym (think running with an ocean 🌊 view)

Took the family to this beautiful Paradisus property in Santa Maria back in 2019 shortly after the resort opened.

Situated on the world-famous sparkling shores of Cayo Santa Maria, Paradisus Los Cayos is set on one of the most perfect beaches in Cuba.

Vacationers can spend their days lounging by the beach or by one of the resort’s sprawling pools with a refreshing mojito in hand. Active vacationers will have a blast trying out a range of resort-offered activities like dance lessons, catamaran rides, kayaking, windsurfing and more.

There’s plenty for mini-vacationers to enjoy as well, from the exclusive kids pool to the water playground and complimentary kids club. Our kids spent a few afternoons in the club and enjoyed it immensely! The night entertainment was fantastic and my kids really enjoyed the animation staff.

Our kids loved the snacks & kid-friendly buffets while hubby and I really enjoyed the international à la carte venues.

Those seeking added luxury can upgrade to Royal Service, offering inclusions such as butler service, pool and beach concierge and luggage packing and unpacking.

Families will appreciate an upgrade to The Reserve room categories, with access to an exclusive pool and beach area, concierge service, 24-hour room service and more. The swim-out family suite pictured here is the one my family stayed in 😊.

Just received some news many of you with LOVE regarding an update on travel requirements 😍

The changes just announced are four-fold …

* First, as of Feb. 28, 2022, there will be a return to randomized PCR testing for travellers arriving at Canada’s airports, the way it was before omicron. Fully vaccinated travellers who have been selected for randomized PCR tests will no longer be required to quarantine while waiting for their test results.

* Second, travel restrictions will be lifted for unvaccinated children under the age of 12, who are travelling with fully vaccinated adults. Kids will no longer need to wait / self-isolate before returning to school, daycare, camps, etc. These younger travellers will also no longer be subject to testing.

* Third, travellers will have the option of taking a rapid antigen test, instead of a PCR test, to meet the pre-arrival COVID test requirement. The antigen test must be authorized by the country in which it was purchased, and administered by a lab, healthcare entity or telehealth service. The antigen test must be taken no more than 24 hours ahead of the traveller’s scheduled flight.

* Fourth, the federal government will decrease the travel advisory from Level 3 to Level 2, where Canadians who are travelling are asked to exercise prudence while travelling abroad.

Choose from Junior Suites with Jacuzzis, and upgrade to the adults only Colonial Club to enjoy private pools with Bali beds, 24-hour room service, butler service and more.
