Looking for a quick trip to Florida/Caribbean/Mexico/etc that's a direct flight from Dallas in October. Wife wants a beach, solid/nice resort that doesn't break the bank. All inclusive is fine but not required.

TIA

DFW has direct flights into Cancun. Some of my top sellers:

Secrets Moxche (my current fave)
Secrets Maroma
Valentin
Xcaret Arte
Secrets Playa Blanca
Atelier
Excellence Playa Mujeres

For something easier on the pocket book:
El Dorado Royale or El Dorado Seaside Suites (water does have the big boulders in it to prevent erosion)


Happy to assist if needed, my email is in my profile.

We loved Secrets Maroma Beach.

Beautiful resort with great pools and beach. Relaxed atmosphere. Service was outstanding. Food was pretty good for an AI.

We had a swim-out room and loved it.

My list right now is similar to JMac - so many great options in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area.
Secrets Playa Blanca and Atelier have been at the top spots lately. I think everyone is liking the idea of going north of Cancun.

I really liked Puerto Vallarta this summer and some great resorts there and Los Cabos will always be a favorite, but if getting in the ocean is your thing then you can cross it off.
Le Blanc and Grand Velas Boutique are my top choices right now in Los Cabos.

Has anyone stayed at or have an opinion on Hilton Vallarta Riviera?

I haven't had any of my clients stay there but I've heard good things from other agents clients in my group. My clients that stayed at Hyatt Ziva drove by there and said that it looked amazing and they want to stay there on their next trip to PVR.

I like that it is not in Puerto Vallarta proper, kind of more secluded than in the hustle and bustle of the city.

So we're booked: flying into Amsterdam on a Monday, out of Paris on the following Wednesday.

For those that know that area well, what would you put on your "must" list for either of those cities and/or Bruge? What would you skip? I know very little about Amsterdam so we're wide open there....same with Bruge. Paris area seems like there are a few obvious ones, but maybe not... Louvre, Versailles, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower, a river tour/ride.....what else?

Thanks for all of the help so far.

A lot of people like to go to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. You need to get your tickets early. I didn't and my time slot was like 9:45PM. At 8:30PM I was like nerp, and went back to the ship lol.

In Amsterdam I just walked around the city, I didn't go looking for any specific sites.

That is a heck of a plot twist here. What changed your plan? Find some cheap tickets or something?

No, we haven't stayed there but it's way south of most everything Puerto Vallarta. It's nearly an hour drive from the airport. If you're only going to stay in the resort, which is all-inclusive, then I'd do it as the hotel looks amazing.

We're headed to PV Friday.
