HAVE YOU EVER FELT DECISION FATIGUE PLANNING A FAM HAVE YOU EVER FELT DECISION FATIGUE PLANNING A FAMILY TRIP? ๐Ÿคช Where should we go? Which hotel is truly family-friendly? Will the kids actually sleep? Which resort is worth the splurge? By the time youโ€™ve opened your 37th browser tab, it feels easier to justโ€ฆ not book anything. Hereโ€™s my best advice as a travel advisor: start with ONE priority.โ€จ Do you want beach time? Adventure? Culture? I talk to parents all the time who are eager to book a trip but feel overwhelmed by trying to do everything at once. And while I love creating trips where you can have it all, sometimes the best starting point is asking: what does our family need most right now? โœจ Rest + recharge at one resort?โ€จโœจ Thrilling adventures to keep everyone active?โ€จโœจ A luxury hotel with kid-friendly amenities that makes family life easier? Thereโ€™s no wrong answer. The goal is to pick the destination + hotel that will set your family up for success in this season of life. SO WHATโ€™S NEXT? HOW DO YOU PICK A DESTINATION AND HOTEL THAT FITS? Thatโ€™s where a travel advisor comes in. I meet with hotels from all over the world, learn their ins and outs, and constantly research, so you donโ€™t have to. Iโ€™m Jillian, and I specialize in luxury family travel. If thatโ€™s your vibe, I can help you narrow the choices and find the best fit for your family. ๐Ÿ‘‰ What questions do you have about working with a travel advisor?

If youโ€™re looking for the ultimate Mexico resort If youโ€™re looking for the ultimate Mexico resort for families, @susurrosauberge is one of my top recommendations. ๐’๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐š ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ ๐Ÿ“ Locationโ€จFly into Puerto Vallarta (PVR) โ€” 40 minutes away. โœจ Who would I recommend this hotel to?โ€จLuxury family travelers wanting a laid-back vacation. Pool days, easy vibes, and no overpacked itineraries. ๐Ÿก Rooms for Everyoneโ€จEntry-level rooms are already stunning, with breezy design and private terraces. Families wanting more space can book cliffside residences (apartment-style, 3โ€“5 bedrooms) or standalone villas for up to 14 people. Elegant but never too formal โ€” perfect for multigenerational trips. We traveled with ages 4 months to 78, and everyone had space without being on top of each other. ๐ŸŒŠ Pools + Beachesโ€จA 15/10. The beach is private, swimmable, and safe for kids โ€” rare for the west coast of Mexico. The cascading pools are an architectural masterpiece: shallow shelves for little ones, overwater cabanas, a great poolside menu, and an adults-only pool with swim-up bar. ๐ŸŽจ Kids Clubโ€จMy kidsโ€™ favorite of all our travels. Simple inside (art area, Lego wall), but the activities shine: kite making, terrarium building, weaving lessons. Kids could join in or do their own thing โ€” and they begged to go every morning. ๐Ÿด Diningโ€จFresh, excellent food โ€” breakfast is outstanding. Villa/residence guests can opt for a full-service dinner in-room. Waiters, cooks, cleanup โ€” all handled (separate charge, but magical). โœจ Serviceโ€จResidences and villas include a butler to handle just about anything. ๐Ÿ—“ When to Goโ€จHigh season: Decemberโ€“April.โ€จLow season: Mayโ€“November.โ€จWe visited this Mexico resort in July โ€” lower rates, hot (90s daily), a few passing summer showers ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ โ€œ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฑ๐ข๐œ๐จ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ญโ€ ๐ข๐Ÿ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ก๐จ๐ญ๐ž๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐•๐ˆ๐ ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ (๐๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐Ÿ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ, $๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ข๐ญ, ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ž๐ฌ & ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž). #mexicoresort #luxuryfamilytravel #puntamita #familyresorts

Weโ€™ve stayed at over 60 properties, and this is one Iโ€™d put in my top 5. ๐Ÿ“ Locationโ€จ @susurrosauberge in Punta Mita. Hereโ€™s why: ๐Ÿก ROOMS FOR EVERY TRAVELER:โ€จEntry-level rooms are gorgeous, but if you need more space they also offer cliffside residences (apartment-style, 3โ€“5 bedrooms) and standalone villas. ๐ŸŒŠ Pools + Beachesโ€จThere are many nice pools out there in the world - but this is one youโ€™re going to remember forever. They were beautifully designed, cascading one over the other. And designated sections for adults (swim up bar), but also family friendly pools that still felt A+. The beach was just steps away, with really calm water for little ones. ๐ŸŽจ Kids Clubโ€จMy kidsโ€™ favorite of all our travels. Not flashy inside, but the activities shine: kite making, terrarium building with beach treasures, weaving lessons. They begged to go every morning. ๐Ÿด Diningโ€จFresh, excellent food. Breakfast stood out, but our highlight was a private villa dinner โ€” waiters, cooks, cleanup all happened without mom lifting a finger. โœจ Serviceโ€จResidences and villas include a butler who handles just about anything. Truly a game-changer. If youโ€™re dreaming of a Mexico resort thatโ€™s luxury and kid-friendly, this is it. ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ โ€œ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฑ๐ข๐œ๐จ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ญโ€ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ˆโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐›๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐•๐ˆ๐ ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ (๐›๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ค๐Ÿ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐š๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ, $๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐๐ข๐ญ, ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ ๐ซ๐š๐๐ž๐ฌ & ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ž). #mexicoresort #luxuryfamilytravel #puntamita #familyresorts

Most luxury hotels will give you either a gorgeous pool scene or beachfront, but itโ€™s rare to find a set-up where the two blend together perfectly. Here, you donโ€™t have to choose and for families that details makes a world of difference โ€จโœ”๏ธ Kids can go from pool floaties to sandcastles without a big production.โ€จโœ”๏ธ Parents donโ€™t need to pack day bags every time someone wants a change of scenery.โ€จโœ”๏ธ Everyone gets to enjoy more time being together and less time in transition. As a travel advisor - this is one of my favorite recommendations for multigenerational or larger family getaways. (They also have fantastic regular rooms and suites for smaller groups). Itโ€™s just one of those hotels that is beyond luxuriuous with many โ€œpinch meโ€ moments, but also easy and perfect for families. โœจ Want to book a villa in Mexico (or any room @susurrosauberge) with added VIP perks? ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ โ€œ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐šโ€ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ˆโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐›๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐จ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก! #villasinmexico #familytravel #bestvillas
