Goodbye momโ€™s bedtime routine. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

As a travel content creator, weโ€™re on the road a lot.  Normally Iโ€™m a sleep-schedule mom, but some hotel rooms are worth the little chaos โ€” like this one at Four Seasons Costa Rica. My kids squealed for 10 minutes straight when they saw it. For a few nights, we embraced the later bedtime and giggly sibling convos.

Where have your kids fallen in love with the hotel room itself?

Hereโ€™s what made this one stand out:
โœจPOOLS AND BEACH DONE RIGHT โ€“ Shallow shelves perfect for little ones, never crowded, and a beach with wide soft sand + safe waves (rare on Mexicoโ€™s west coast).

โœจFAMILY ACCOMMODATIONS WORTH THE SPLURGE โ€“ Every room is designed to impress, but the villas + residences take it next level. Space to spread out, plus private touches like in-villa dining that make family resorts go from good to unforgettable.

โœจ BUTLER SERVICES โ€“ Villa guests get a dedicated butler, basically an extra set of hands. Service was flawless.

โœจ KIDS CLUBโ€“ My kids begged to go everyday. They built terrariums, made their own kites, and even learned how to weave.  The Lego wall was a hit. 

โœจ DELICIOUS FOOD โ€“ Fresh, yummy, beautifully presentedโ€ฆ same for the kidsโ€™ menu. 

For families dreaming of Mexico, Susurros is one of those family resorts that truly delivers luxury for parents AND magic for kids. 

๐Ÿ’Œ Want to experience it yourself? When you book through me youโ€™ll get VIP perks โ€” daily breakfast, upgrades, and resort credits โ€” all at the same rates you see online (or lower)

$30 quesadillas arenโ€™t my vibe. ๐Ÿ‘Ž Did you kn $30 quesadillas arenโ€™t my vibe. ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Did you know that @auberge runs a seasonal perk where kids eat free (10 and under!) โ€” and the food is actually REALLY good.  Itโ€™s the kind of kidsโ€™ menu where you secretly want to order off  yourself. 

Thatโ€™s a big deal because most luxury hotels only let kids eat free if theyโ€™re 5 and under. If youโ€™ve got older littles with big appetites, this perk can save families a lot while still dining at 5-star properties.

Weโ€™ve stayed at several Auberge resorts and love how each feels special:โ€จโœจ @susurrosauberge in Punta de Mita (my kidsโ€™ favorite kidsโ€™ club + beachside dining)โ€จโœจ @altagraciaauberge  in Costa Rica (adventure in the mountains)โ€จโœจ @mayfloweraubergein Connecticut (perfect for a cozy family weekend escape)

And the kids menu isnโ€™t just chicken fingers and fries. Think:โ€จ๐Ÿฒ Mexican noodle sopa โ€” tomato broth, shredded chicken, seasonal veggiesโ€จ๐Ÿฅช Almond butter + hibiscus berry jam sandoโ€จ๐Ÿฆ Shrimp con coco with pineapple chutneyโ€จ๐ŸŸ Tempura catch of the day with green ceviche veggies

So yes, kids eat free โ€” but in a way that feels elevated, thoughtful, and very Auberge.โ€จ
As a travel advisor I can elevate your stay with these VIP add-ons

๐Ÿ“FOUR SEASONS PAPAGAYO PENINSULA โ€“ EVERYDAY WILDLIFE + ADVENTUREโ€จCosta Ricaโ€จWildlife spotting on your morning walk, and endless on-site and off-site adventures make this one of the best family resorts in Central America for nature-loving kids.

๐Ÿ“AUBERGE SUSURROS โ€“ KIDS CLUB THEY WERE BEGGING TO GO TOโ€จPunta de Mita, Mexicoโ€จA kids club so fun they begged to go each morning. Not your typical KC โ€” think kite making, beach treasure hunts, and ocean adventures. Easily one of the best family resorts in Mexico for families looking for both luxury and kid-approved activities.

๐Ÿ“BAHA MAR โ€“ UNBELIEVEABLE WATERPARKโ€จBahamasโ€จAn epic beachfront resort with a full-blown waterpark and plenty for little kids too: mini waterslides, splash pad, wave pool, lazy river, cliff jumping, and touch tanks. One of the best family resorts in the Caribbean for kids who love nonstop action.

๐Ÿ“ROSEWOOD MAYAKOBA โ€“ โ€œTHE FUNNEST ROOMโ€โ€จRiviera Maya, Mexicoโ€จTwo years later, my daughter still talks about the boat ride to this room the magical balloon bubble bath surprise, private pool, and outdoor showers.  Itโ€™s a top choice if you want the best family resorts that blend luxury with unforgettable accommodation.

๐Ÿ“JW MARRIOTT MARCO ISLAND โ€“ A WOW ARCADEโ€จFloridaโ€จFull disclosure - this is NOT my personal all-time favorite hotel, but the indoor arcade was stunningโ€”so many games, plus mini golf, bowling, and a solid restaurant. 

I can book all of these luxury resorts for you with free perksโ€”daily breakfast, resort credits, and upgrades when available.
