After a chilly winter, Jennifer Byrne and Kristy Hall of The Tropical Travelers decided their families needed a little beach time. So with family and friends they headed off to sunny Mexico!    Their 10-day vacation began as the entire group was whisked off to Beloved in Playa Mujeres by private, non-stop transfer. Beloved is a boutique family hotel consisting of 90 suites. On a lovely beach, this hotel caters to families who enjoy beautiful landscaping, an infinity pool, spacious accommodations and several dining options. Complete with kids club, this hotel works well for families with families of smaller children (kids club is for 4-12 year olds). We found the kids club to cater more towards the 4-8 year [...]

  The Hard Rock Hotel group just added another fantastically hip resort to its collection this weekend. As invited guests of the Hard Rock Cancun Hotel’s 3-day grand opening event, The Tropical Travelers got a firsthand look.    We could go on for hours about the parties, the fantastic beach and the spectacular food and drink. But since there are certain happenings in Cancun that should rightly stay in Cancun, we’ll just focus on the top five most rockin’ moments of the events and the newly redesigned hotel. Top acts Flo Rida and the Goo Goo Dolls both performed on the Hard Rock’s gorgeous white sand bach over the course of the 3 day event. Fantastic performances that will not [...]

A review from travel specialist Jennifer Carr: This chain of breathtaking islands, only a 3 hour flight from New York, make you feel like you are standing in the middle of Paradise. From secluded white sand beaches to sexy beach bars, to adventurous water sports, Turks and Caicos has something for everyone and every budget. On my recent trip to Providenciales (Provo to the locals), I had the good fortune of conversing with many of the very friendly locals, other tourists, and even the large population of tourists who decided never to leave, and they themselves became “belongers”. With their advice and insider tips, I had the opportunity to sample a great deal of what this up and coming destination [...]

This is a review from The Tropical Travelers consultant, Jennifer Carr: I recently returned from an amazing trip at Moon Palace with my friends. I was skeptical considering some of the negative reviews that I had read on here about Moon Palace, and couldn’t wait to see it for myself. My friends and I had such a great time, and honestly, Moon Palace exceeded my expectations. We stayed in the Nizuc section and had a wonderful view of the ocean and wedding chapel. We had 2 connecting rooms which was perfect for 4 girls with tons of luggage! There was plenty of space, the rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. The mini bar had a nice variety and [...]

Sure, you can book a hotel and flights and set off on your journey. You’ll arrive in paradise without a plan and most likely miss much of what the destination has to offer. Or you can plan an all out adventure! The Tropical Travelers’ clients reach out to us to assist them with the intricate details and well, the unknown little haunts on the islands of their dreams. Take Anguilla for instance. This island is known for their beautiful beaches and luxury resorts. But, Anguilla is so much more. Did you know the Caribbean’s only hydroponic farm is located there? Did you know one of the best known Caribbean vocal artists calls Anguilla home? Did you know there are more [...]

Turks and Caicos is the perfect vacation for “foodies” of all types. If your ideal evening consists of dining under the stars with your toes in the sand or if you prefer a most elegant restaurant with impeccable service, Turks and Caicos is sure to please. With a myriad of dining options, you will not go hungry on this island. I’ve dined around the island and have experienced some wonderful cuisine. From traditional fare such as conch chowder to the most amazing chocolate lava cake, Turks cuisine is a delight. This island is an up-and-coming location for nightlife. Not the 4am club type nightlife, but the exquisite outdoor lounge type nightlife. You’ll find the Caribbean’s only infinity bar in Turks [...]
