🌴 Spent an amazing morning exploring the Iberostar Waves Quetzal and Tucan—and wow, what a gem! 😍 This resort effortlessly blends a beachside paradise with a lush tropical vibe, making it a dream destination for everyone. 🌊🌿

The rooms are perfect for any type of stay, whether you want a tropical view, to be close to the beach or pool, or to indulge in a Junior Suite with an oceanfront view. 🏝️🏨 We even enjoyed a delicious lunch at the buffet, which offered a fantastic variety of options! 🍽️

And of course, the beach? Absolutely stunning, as always! ✨ Can't wait to help plan your next adventure here!

Yesterday MVP got tours of both Iberostar Selection Cancun and Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun. These properties were both stunning and I was able to get a good feel for which of my clients would be comfortable there.

Today we’re off to Iberostar Waves Quetzal and Iberostar Waves Tucan. I continue to invest in my business and travel with MVP to educate myself on the best properties and destinations to fit your needs. ❤️🖤

🎉Congratulations to the B family who just booked their family's Christmas gift - on UTOPIA OF THE SEAS!

I’m thrilled to assist in planning this trip for them. Their story tugs at my heartstrings every time we chat. With their oldest child having just graduated high school and three more kiddos following behind, they recognize the significance of these full-family opportunities. We know these babies don't keep, but these parents are determined to create unforgettable memories that they'll carry with them for a lifetime. 🩷

What is your favorite family vacation?

I’ve been a little MIA this week - we spent the last few days at ✨Walt Disney World✨ with the kiddos. I wanted to unplug (as much as you can with a Disney vacation) and be in the moment with the kids.

I haven’t been to Disney on a full vacation in the summer for quite a few years. Despite the heat, we had a great time. As I unwind this week I’ll share some of our favorite memories, some new experiences, and some tips to beat the heat. 🔥
