Sometimes, you just want someone else to do the work for you!
I love vacation planning.
The dreaming, the browsing, comparing itineraries, deciding which sights to see… and then finding promo codes to do it all for less. It’s almost a competitive sport!
But sometimes you just want to type in the date you want to leave, when you want to come back, punch in your credit card info, and pack your bags.
I totally get it.
This month, I want you to be in the know about Vacation Express, a one-stop shop for setting up your next trip. They’ve booked over 2,000,000 vacations since 1989! Maybe you’ve been on one of their vacations or know someone who has. Vacation Express offers a variety of resorts paired up with easy flights, often non-stop, and unlimited food and beverages for a truly all-inclusive experience.
My friend and Mix 94.9 evening host Bud Stross got married in February 2020 and by March, the world was a very different place. So, they had to postpone their honeymoon until last month. They finally had the chance for their dream getaway in Mexico and I was curious to know what the experience was like.
“It was amazing.” said Stross, “We’ve used Vacation Express for other trips so when it was time to plan our honeymoon, we knew who we were booking with.”
These lovebirds enjoyed the Romance Bungalow room at the Grand Palladium White Sands in Riviera Maya, just south of Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. The resort featured a man-made river that meandered through the property.
One of the best parts of an all-inclusive experience is that your food and beverages are included in the price of the trip.
“We used their app, which was very helpful and allowed us to reserve spots for dinner reservations contact-free. We also noticed there were many other safety protocols in place including deep cleaning, masked employees, and QR Codes for menus. We also enjoyed the convenience of having a COVID-19 test done at the end of our trip by a doctor at the resort… for free!”
Excursions are also operating, allowing visitors to explore attractions off the resort property. The two explored Rio Secreto, featuring caves deep in the jungle on a natural reserve.
“We followed that up with a guided tour of the Mayan Ruins of Tulum. It was incredible and we watched people snapping the best Instagram selfies everywhere… we snagged a few for us as well!”
