$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 ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ โ€œ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐Ÿ๐จ๐จ๐โ€ ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ž ๐ก๐ž๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐›๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐š๐ญ ๐š๐ง ๐€๐ฎ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ง ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ (๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ž๐ž ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐Ÿ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ, ๐ก๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ฅ ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ž๐ฌ!) #kidseatfree #luxurytravel #bestfamilyhotels

IS JW MARCO ISLAND WORTH THE HYPE? When it comes IS JW MARCO ISLAND WORTH THE HYPE? When it comes to luxury hotels in Florida, @jwmarcoisland is always at the top of the list. So earlier this year, we hopped down for a weekend babymoon escape โ€” and brought the kids along. Hereโ€™s where it shined โ€” and where it fell short for me: โœ… BEACH: 5/5 โ€” One of the most spacious, kid-friendly beaches weโ€™ve experienced at a Florida family hotel. Calm water, plenty of room, and super easy with little ones. Beach service was great, and I liked that you can reserve chairs in advance. It costs $, but worth it to skip the early morning dash. โœ… POOLS: 4.5/5 โ€” I save 5/5 for pools that truly wow, but this luxury hotel in Florida had great options: a big family pool and a smaller one with a waterslide, cove layout, and hot tub. You can reserve chairs here too. โœ… ON-SITE FUN: 5/5 โ€” So much for kids and families. Thereโ€™s no formal kidsโ€™ club, but daily activities are offered. The highlight? The arcade. Iโ€™m not usually an arcade person, but this one was CLEAN, beautifully designed, and went above and beyond. โœ… OFF-SITE FUN: 5/5 โ€” We did the dolphin cruise + shelling tour. It was easy (pickup right at the hotel), not too long, and packed with dolphin sightings. They also drop you off on a small, uninhabited beach to look for shells (this area is known for really unique ones). Now for the misses... ๐Ÿค” ROOMS: 3/5 โ€” We booked a lanai suite and it felt dark, oddly laid out, and not worth the upgrade. Next time Iโ€™d go for two connecting rooms in the tower โ€” much better views. ๐Ÿค” FOOD: 2/5 โ€” The steakhouse was great (even for a vegetarian!), but the other restaurants didnโ€™t wow me. Food is a big highlight for me, so this was a bummer. Soโ€ฆ should you go?โ€จIf youโ€™re looking for a luxury hotel in Florida thatโ€™s easy to get to, reasonably priced, and packed with family-friendly perks โ€” then yes. I get why people love it. Iโ€™d just book a different room and adventure off site some nights for meals. Have you been to JW Marco Island? Curious what others think โฌ‡๏ธโ€จ ๐…๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ @๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ซ๐จ๐š๐ฆ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ. #luxuryhotelsflorida #marcoisland #familytravel #luxuryfamilytravel
