🌟 Magical Moment Monday 🌟

Ever wonder what sets a dedicated, personal travel agency like Wishes Travel apart from those faceless online booking sites? Well, let us tell you about the Gurtis Family's adventure and you'll see!

The Gurtis family rang us up, eager to book a summer getaway to a specific resort in Mexico. Now, while that resort was indeed lovely, we knew the beach there could get a bit...seaweedy (yikes!) during the midsummer months.

Instead of just booking their first choice with a little footnote, we decided to dig deeper. We asked a few questions to uncover what their dream vacation truly looked like.

Turns out, this fab family loves to relax but craves unforgettable experiences even more! And with that magical nugget of info, we whisked them away to Hotel Xcaret. And boy, did they have the time of their lives!

✨ Cenote swimming
✨ Zip lining
✨ White water rafting
✨ Off-roading
✨ Snorkeling
✨ Indulging in all the delicious foods 😋

And when they needed a break from all the adventure, they could unwind in the lap of luxury at the stunning Hotel Xcaret Resort. Talk about having the best of both worlds!

We think these snaps from their trip capture a few of their magical moments perfectly. What do you think? 📸

What’s the most memorable adventure you’ve ever had on vacation? Share with us in the comments below! And remember, at Wishes Travel, we make every journey simply magical. ✨

✨ A review we HAD to share! ✨

A mom-and-son adventure before college kicks off! 🚀🌟

"This is literally the only coaster pic where I'm not smiling but looking TERRIFIED! 😱 It was our first ride in the front row, and WOW, it took the ride to a whole new level! Luke looks like he has a receding hairline, and I might've yelled, **** me, I’m gonna die!!” 😂 My tank top straps were hanging off my shoulders by the end 🤣 Had to buy the picture even though it was $25. And now, my son has a mouth like his mother while on the big daddy roller coasters. "

Mission accomplished!!! Thank you for planning an amazing trip for us - memories for a lifetime ❤️❤️❤️"

🎓👩‍🎓 Doing Senior Trips Right! 👨‍🎓🎉

Planning a senior trip isn't just about picking a destination—it's about crafting the perfect experience! Here's what we considered for our seniors' graduation adventure:

✨ Quality of Resort: Sure, the kids want fun, but parents deserve some pampering too! Ensuring top-notch food and vibe keeps everyone smiling. 🌴

🌟 Safety First: With Mexico's drinking age at 18, we chose a resort where chaperones can easily keep an eye on things. Plus, the resort's vigilant staff ensures kids drink responsibly. 🍹✨

🎶 Nightlife Options: The right resort means they have fun at the 18+ nightclub, but with safety protocols to get them back to their rooms without a hitch. 🕺💃

🍽 Dinner with a Group: Checked if dinner reservations for large groups can be made in advance. If not, make sure the resort has high quality buffets or other alternatives for dining together! 👌 (Psss...we dined together!!!)

🌊 Exceptional Excursions: Beyond the parties, we booked exciting excursions to ensure their trip was full of unforgettable adventures! 🚤🐠

This is why you need a travel advisor. Anyone can book a trip, but making it safe, fun, and truly memorable? That takes connections and expertise!

Thumbs up for a trip that was a magical success! 🌟✨

We love hearing how our 'genies' have turned dreams into reality! The Mouron Family recently returned from yet another enchanting adventure, meticulously orchestrated by our very own Christine.

🗣️ "Our trip could not have been more magical, thanks to Christine. She went above and beyond to plan everything for us and was always available to answer any questions. I cannot recommend her enough!

This is our second time using Christine to plan our trip. We used a VIP guide for two days and that service made our trip. Yes it’s expensive, but the convenience, ease, and getting to be in the moment is worth every penny." ❤️ – The Mouron Family
