Top 5 Vacation Spots for Family Travel

Riviera Maya, Mexico

Just south of Cancun is the Riviera Maya with white powdery sands, turquoise waters and ancient Mayan Ruins all within a close reach. Some of the most prestige all-inclusive resorts in the world are located here and many of them cater to families with beachfront water parks, kid clubs and even their very own drink menu at the beach bars. The second largest reef in the world is also located here making it a perfect vacation spot for all of the water babies out there.

Maui, Hawaii
'Ohana' is the Hawaiian word for family and Maui does an excellent job at focusing on family togetherness. Whether you are together surrounded by the 750,000 gallon water tank at the Maui Ocean Center, learning how to hula dance at the Old Lahaina Luau or learning to surf at one of the pristine beaches in Wailea you are bound to make some life-long memories.





Orlando, Florida

When people think of Orlando, Florida the first thing that comes to mind is Walt Disney World. As they should! After all, it is the most magical place on Earth. Disney World is the most popular and the largest theme park in the world. A few other impressive stops in Orlando include Universal Studios, SeaWorld and Discovery Cove.

San Diego, California

San Diego is not only rated the 5th best place to live in the United States but it makes up for a fun-filled getaway. 'Shamu' at the San Diego's Sea World is suppose to have the most excellent killer whale show in the park's history. Next, be sure and visit the newest exhibit at the famous San Diego Zoo: Monkey Trails and Forest Tales. If you are still wanting more after the zoo, you can get up close and personal with some exotic animals at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. The amusing LEGOLAND would be a perfect end to the vacation and don't forget to visit their new 5.5 acre waterpark!

La Romana, Dominican Republic
Nestled on the southeastern coast of the Dominican Republic, La Romana has been a sanctuary for presidents, celebrities and kings for years. The secluded picture-perfect beaches and the people is what makes this vacation one to remember for a lifetime. You can stay at the 5 star Dreams La Romana all-inclusive resort and indulge in it's Unlimited Luxury. Be sure and take their day tour to the paradise called Saona Island!

COASTLINES ~ Land and Sea

There is currently an exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art that causes people who have appreciation for the arts and/or passion for exploring the Globe to come together and celebrate their love for these common interests.

Coastlines: Images of Land Sea

It has inspired me to go through some of my favorite coastline pictures from the past couple of years and to stop and appreciate life for a moment.



Royal Tulum Resort ~ Tulum, Mexico



Secrets Sanctuary ~ Cap Cana, Dominican Republic




Four Seasons Resort Hawaii, Lana'i at Manele Bay



"Sky Massage" at the El Dorado Maroma ~ Quintana Roo, Mexico


Is there a coastline that you have dreamed of seeing but excuses like money, time or fear have stopped you??? Give me a ring... it is a lot closer within reach than you could possibly imagine. And you deserve it. ;-)

Catalonia Royal Tulum

The Catalonia Royal Tulum is one of my all-time favorite 4 star all-inclusive resorts. It is just so incredibly cute and has a lot to offer. The resort is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Xpu -Ha, which is in the heart of the lovely Riviera Maya. For those who love the beaches and bohemian town of Tulum, this may be a perfect fit for you.

This resort may also be perfect for someone who:

• Wants an adult only resort.
• Needs easy access to Wifi throughout the resort.
• Enjoys beach butler service.
• Looks forward to 24 hour room service.

The Catalonia Royal Tulum is a quaint, adults-only resort that is sure to capture your heart as it did mine.
