I received this postcard from clients who arrived at Grand Velas Riviera Maya yesterday. They were upgraded to this beautiful suite at arrival and said they’ve been super impressed with the service. The Grand Velas properties are all-inclusive and have locations in Riviera Maya, Cabo, and Riviera Nayarit. These properties are known for their top notch service, great food & beverage, and their amazing family programs (Grand Velas Riviera Maya won best family program at Virtuoso week in 2019)...they’re basically the Four Seasons of all-inclusive hotels. If you are looking to keep your kids entertained without sacrificing luxury/service this is definitely the place (they have a kid’s club and a teen’s club). The price point is higher than most all-inclusive hotels (starting around $1k per night) but like my clients said yesterday, “This place is amazing! Perfect spot and I can see why it is more expensive than others”.

Email me at [email protected] to start planning!

Perks for booking Grand Velas Riviera Maya with me:
☀️ Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability (From Zen Grand to Zen Grand Pool / From Ambassador to Ambassador Pool / From Ambassador Pool to Grand Class)
☀️Complimentary hydrotherapy water journey per person, for up to two guests per room, once during stay.
☀️$50 USD Spa credit per adult, per night*
☀️Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

Dorado Beach is located in Puerto Rico and is Ritz Carlton Reserve property. What does Ritz Carlton Reserve mean? It’s the most special, luxurious properties within the Ritz Carlton collection! They are one-of-a-kind boutique hotels that have a real sense of place...far from a cookie-cutter or corporate feel that can be commonplace with some of the larger hotel groups. Dorado Beach is a client favorite, and I’ve had plenty of guests go back multiple times. Since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory a passport is not required for American citizens (which has been very helpful since passport processing has been VERY backed up).

The property is split into two sections -> East Beach & West Beach, and I always break down the difference for clients so we are picking the best fit for them. There are just over 100 rooms on property but you have all the amenities that you’d find at a resort 3X it’s size. The property is great for both couples AND families. The rooms are beautiful and many feature private plunge pools! The resort features a tanquil, infinity-edge pool with private cabanas, a family-friendly pool, and a weekend waterpark with slides and lazy river. The Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment program inspires guests to connect with the world around them in hopes that they will work towards preserving it for future generations. The program highlights Puerto Rico’s rich native culture and unique ecosystem through immersive experiences designed for children, adults and families.

There are a wide variety of experiences available- everything from kayaking in the ocean to exploring local Puerto Rican culture or playing a round of golf on one of the resort’s two golf courses.

If you are traveling with a larger group or want a little extra privacy there is a 5 bedroom beachfront estate with private pools that is available to rent (last two photos in the slide are of the Villa). Dorado Beach is a little slice of heaven and is perfect for a quick getaway.

Perks for booking Dorado Beach with me:
☀️Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
☀️Daily full breakfast for two guests per bedroom
☀️$150.00 Resort credit to be utilized during stay ☀️Early check-in/late check-out, subject to availability

Ready for the trip of a lifetime 🌎🚀🪐⭐️?! I received an exciting email from J.Mak this morning: “The travel company partnered with Axiom Space (whose CEO is a former Director of NASA’s ISS program) to offer civilians an out of this world experience - and ultimate bragging rights - with a 10 day trip to space, orbiting the Earth at 17,150mph and experiencing sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes. (Tom Cruise is already signed up.). Axiom guests will participate in 15 weeks of training alongside career astronauts, then blast off into space in a custom rocket. Guests stay in modules that ensure ultimate comfort in harmony with the movements of the human body in zero gravity, including variable temperature LED lighting for adjusting circadian rhythm and large windows to experience the view of Earth from above. The experience starts from $55 million and includes transportation to and from the station, time in orbit, and training camp.”
