JW Marriott Grande Lakes is located in Orlando, Florida.
It's a family resort close to the theme parks. I loved all the dining options
and the large winding pool. It does get busy during school breaks. Be sure to
review the shuttle schedule and sign up for transportation to the Parks.
First, a huge thank you to the team at Le Blanc Spa Resort Los
Cabos and Palace Resorts for sponsoring my 3 night stay. They didn't ask
for a review, but I can't help sharing my opinion.
The
word I use to describe Le Blanc Los Cabos is "pampered". From the pool
butler who placed chilled cucumbers over my eyes to the spa attendant
who walked me through the water journey to the butler who arrived at my
door each morning with an almond milk latte as I was waking up - I felt
so pampered. This is a resort for people looking for quiet relaxation
with excellent food and drinks. No loud music at the pool. It's not a
place where the bartender will be lining up shots. This is perfect for a
couple looking to get away from all the noise or a girls' trip for
ladies who love a great spa or a Mother/Daughter trip.

This
is not a resort for people who like an active swim up bar scene, love
water sports, or like doing everything themselves. An important thing
to know is that the beach is not swimmable. You can't get into the ocean
or do any water sports like kayaking or paddle boarding here.

B OceanFort Lauderdale is a beachfront resort close to the cruise port and the airport.It's a great resort for a pre-cruise or post-cruise stay. I really like that the pool is right by the beach. It makes it so easy for families that some members that love the pool and others that love the beach.
Margarita and Aldo contacted me to plan their anniversary trip. I recommended El Dorado Royale based on what was important to them.
Here's their review:
I
don't even know where to begin.
The
trip was absolutely amazing, and our
first trip to Mexico.
We
arrived on Monday, April 8. You had the instructions down to a tee. The
airport was just as described in your photos It was provided perfectly to us.
We
were welcomed with Champagne in the lobby and our bags taken to our rooms. The staff provided detailed instructions as we checked in and a ride in the golf cart
transportation straight to our doorstep.
We
stepped out to have lunch. When we returned, we found a bottle of Champagne on ice!
We
met our concierge, Angel and Adrian they quickly hooked us up with a Candle
Light Dinner on the beach to start the celebratory reason we were there. The
experience and the food was undoubtedly perfect! They then topped it off with
our dessert on a plate that wished us a Happy 25th.
In the last few years, I've seen a great increase in multi-generational trips. Grandma and Grandpa want to take the whole family on a vacation. It can be overwhelming trying to find a vacation option for all ages.
That's why I am here to help. I navigate you through the options based on what works best for your family.
Flights - Do you all want to meet up in a connecting city?
Accommodations - Want an accommodation where the adults can hang out in the evenings or is it better if everyone has their own room? I can even make sure cruise ship cabin is *accidently* on the other side of your ship from your annoying brother.
Best Value - Are you getting the best value? Multiple rooms or cruise ship cabins can mean extra perks with some resorts or cruise lines.

Royalton Riviera Cancun is an active family all inclusive resort with an adults only section called Hideaway.
I think this is a great resort for groups or a trip with the extended family.
People without kids could book the Hideaway Adults Only section.
People who like to live the fancy life can book Diamond Club with exclusive amenities and areas in the resort.
Families will love the splash park, slides, and kids' programs.
It has an active night life with a disco and sports bar.
