From high end luxury to more moderate pricing structures, Riu brand all inclusive resorts won’t disappoint.  From beautiful Caribbean beaches to stunning Pacific waters, the Riu resort brand is the perfect option for an all inclusive vacation.  Top notch service meets family friendly fun, and with all your meals and beverages included you never have to carry around a wallet.  The higher level Riu Palace resorts offer luxury inclusions like junior suites as their standard accommodations and 24 hour rooms service.  The more wallet friendly Riu class resorts offer all of the amenities one could need and no matter where you stay your non motorized water sports are almost always included in the all inclusive Riu resort package.

My personal favorite is the Riu Palace Pacifico.  After such a great vacation last time I was there, I’m actually getting married at the Resort this month!  But rest assured, no matter where you choose Riu brand hotels offer quality accommodations, top notch service, excellent food and beverages choices and a price range to accommodate any budget.  Whether you want to visit the Punta Cana, Jamaica, Riviera Maya, Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Costa Rica, Nassau, Aruba or more, there’s sure to be a Riu resort to make your vacation an unforgettable experience!

Not all brides dream of sand under their feet and the ocean waves crashing as they say their vows but for those brides who do the Riu Resort chain makes planning your destination wedding as calming as an ocean breeze.

Just a month away from my own Riu destination wedding, I could not be more pleased with the level of service and attention I have received from my wedding coordinator with the Riu. Booking your wedding is simple, a quick look on the Riu Wedding website will show you available dates and times.  Simply select your date, input your information online and within a day you will receive an email confirming the ceremony, time and destination.  A few clicks of your mouse and you have your wedding date reserved!

Planning my ceremony could not be easier, with multiple packages to choose from, each bride and groom can pick the package to fit their needs from a simple low key beach wedding to an elaborate high end beach wedding. You can even get benefits like a couples massage or discounts on spa treatments for your guests! From receptions with dance floors on the beach to a simple after wedding reception dinner you can create a wedding package to meet your Dreams!

The top notch wedding coordinators at the resort will always keep you updated.  Anytime I’ve sent an email with questions, requests, new guests or confirmations I’ve received a response within a day.  And although my big day hasn’t arrived quite yet, we are anxiously awaiting meeting our wedding coordinator in person and having the wedding of our Dreams!

From start to finish the planning process has been flawless, the hardest decision I’ve still yet to make… How many bathing suits should I bring?

As all of us know already, tax refund time is right around the corner.  As a mother of two, the first thing I think of is paying off all my debt.  Then I would stash some in savings and spend a little bit on myself.

A great idea for those who have already starting booking their next vacation or for those who are just beginning, refunds are a great opportunity to get those vacations paid in full.  Maybe even upgrade your room category if your vacation is already paid in full.

As a lot of you know already, the sooner you book the better rate you will receive.  We do also offer options when booking that does not require the full balance of the vacation up front, just a minimal deposit.  Then the remainder of the balance would be due 45 days prior to travel.

Another great idea for the last minute travelers without their passports, go apply and get them expedited for a minimal fee.

A lot of people are already booking their spring break vacations and availability is limited, so don’t feel that waiting last minute is going to get you a better rate.  Very rarely you will find last minute deals.  You will actually find that if you would have booked them sooner, with just that minimal deposit, you could have saved hundreds!

Call us today and get that deposit made to secure the lowest rate possible and then pay the balance when your refund arrives!
