December 2025-Pre-Christmas Trip
A full-circle family trip—back together again
Why This Trip Matters:
This trip was special because we had both kids with us again—just after they got home from college for Christmas break. It felt like a full-circle family moment before the holidays.
What Made It Special:
- Having both kids together again for a family trip
- Returning to a resort we had visited before
- A relaxed, not overly crowded atmosphere
My Experience:
We had stayed here just after COVID, so it was nice to come back and see how things felt. Interestingly, this was our first trip after the hurricane earlier that fall, and the resort was quieter than usual—which made for a more relaxed experience.
The overall feel was very similar to our previous stay, which is a great thing. The food was excellent, service was strong, and everything felt consistent. It’s one of those resorts that delivers a reliable, enjoyable experience.
Why It Matters for My Clients:
This is a great example of a resort that continues to deliver over time. Returning to a property and having a similar positive experience is something I really value when making recommendations.
It’s also a great option for families traveling with older kids or during holiday breaks.
