AmaWaterways is the Real Deal!
Holland and Belgium River Cruise…
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go on a European river cruise? I had a preconceived notion thinking this was an old person’s vacation. Although river cruises do attract older people and accommodate those who may have mobility issues, this is definitely not an elderly cruise! I can tell you that this was one of the most fascinating vacations I have ever been on. The AmaStella was our vessel, or ship, and is basically like a floating hotel. Your room is always in the same location on board so no need to pack your bags and change rooms every few days. AmaWaterways offers a variety of cruise itineraries that will keep you interested time and time again. Right now they are celebrating 20 years in business with some amazing prices!
We flew out a day before the cruise and did a little sightseeing in Amsterdam. I highly recommend doing this to get acclimated to the time change. We took a canal cruise which was interesting, but not recommended if you have jet lag! The warm sun made my eyelids heavy and I am sure I missed a thing or two!
Saturday morning we took the Anne Frank Guided Walking Tour which took us through the Jewish Quarter. Our guide, Roza, did a great job telling us about what it was like in Amsterdam during WWII.
One stop was at the Auschwitz Monument. The monument is made of broken mirrors signifying that 'heaven is no longer unbroken since Auschwitz.'
The last stop of the tour was in front of the Frank house where Anne and her family survived for 761 days! Unfortunately we did not get to go in the house, but seeing the outside of the house in person as well as renderings of the inside makes it even more remarkable that they survived there for so long.
Our first stop on the AmaStella was in Utrecht, Amsterdam. In the morning we visited Floriada, the international horticultural exhibition. Castle De Haar, the largest castle in the Netherlands, was where we spent the afternoon.
Castle De Haar was once the private residence of the Van Zuylen family, whose descendants still stay here yearly. The castle also frequently hosted members of the international jet-set with their lavish lifestyle; from Coco Chanel to Roger Moore, they too left their mark on the plush rooms of the most beautiful spot in Utrecht.
Lastly, we had dinner at the chef’s table aboard the beautiful AmaWaterways, AmaStella! A wonderful experience with several passengers in a private dining room. This is available for all guests at least one night on the cruise. Delicious!
It's a good trip when you can't remember what day of the week it is while on vacation! On Tuesday, June 28th we were in Ghent, Belgium! A beautiful and quaint city with so much to offer! Our day started by visiting the St. Bavo Cathedral and the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. The Ghent Altarpiece, or ‘The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb’ by the Van Eyck brothers, completed in 1432, is recognized worldwide as a great work of art, and one of the most influential paintings ever made. Hubert van Eyck painted part of the Ghent Altarpiece that includes the Mystic Lamb, but was never able to finish it. His younger brother Jan, completed this masterpiece a few years after Hubert’s death.
This church was originally named Saint John the Baptist in 942. The diocese of Ghent was founded in 1559 and the church became St Bavo's Cathedral.
After this, we had free time to explore. We ate waffle fries, bought and tasted some chocolate, visited the smallest bar in Ghent (which used to be a jail) and then off to visit the Gravenstein Castle. The moated castle was built by Count Phillip of Alsace in 1180. I am so impressed with how well these castles have stood the test of time. When I think about how long ago they were built with no modern way of constructing such a large building, it really is amazing!
One of our days was spent at the Battle of the Bulge site. What rich history is here in Belgium! The perspective of this museum is one of great appreciation of the United States and what they did to save their country during World War II. Our tour guide was a walking encyclopedia! He had so much knowledge of World War II and how each country became involved.
The photos below are from the museum, the actual battle field where foxholes still exist, a memorial to the 101st Airborne Division, memorials to honor General Patton and General McAuliffe. The people of Belgium are incredibly grateful to the United States and paid to have these memorials in their country.
Our day in Antwerp was spent participating in a walking tour of the city and ending our time with a Belgium beer tour! We saw the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady, Steen’s Castle, Grote Market and Brabo Fountain. This particular city paid homage to the Virgin Mary. Citizens from long ago would place a statue of the Virgin Mary on a light post so they would not have to pay taxes! Some statues were elaborate and some very simple, but all placed for the same reason. We ended our day with a beer tour tasting local beers. Some were good, others not so much! After all that beer, I finally found my Belgium waffle! It was delicious!
The last day was in a small beautiful harbor town called Dordrecht. I was in awe of this beautiful community. We walked the city streets learning all about the rich history and sightseeing the amazing homes and businesses. Dordrecht is Holland’s oldest city, being founded in 1220. The last tour of the day was visiting the iconic windmills in Kinderdijk. This small town is known for having the largest concentration of windmills dating back to the 18th century. The first windmill still exists today! What I found so interesting is that the windmills are used to pump water back to the sea to keep the town from flooding. We climbed inside a windmill to see how it works and received some interesting information from a “miller” who is someone who operates the windmill.

We had the privilege of staying at AVA Resort Cancun on its opening day. Here’s our firsthand review of this highly anticipated, family-friendly, brand-new luxury all-inclusive resort in Cancun.
#1 - The videos and pictures you see online do not capture the spectacular size of the resort.
Grab a coffee and take a quick read of my review of my stay at AVA Resort Cancun. Here’s an overview and my insight of this beautiful resort.
The resort has a very modern luxury yacht feel with Mexican riviera inspiration, but also reminds me of a higher end luxury resort with cohesion but great separation of activities based on ages.
Truly, AVA has it all!
As AVA had a soft opening on June 1st, I had the pleasure to arrive for my first glimpse of this new hotel and brand. With the understanding this is a soft opening and various elements and parts of the resort will open in segments in the next 60-90 days. This is a chance for the hotel operations and staff to begin a fluid operation and continued training.
First and foremost, I love the feel and the vision. The cohesiveness, thoughtfulness and care for client experience already shows.
The north tower features 5 specialty restaurants:
Plaza Mx (gourmet stations)
Black Iron (steak house)
Kita (Teppanyaki)
Veranda (Italian)
and Copal (Mexican)
I had the pleasure to try Veranda and Black Iron and absolutely loved it. The best Burrata and the best filet I’ve ever had at an all-inclusive.
Casual spots that were a highlight were the Copal Tacos stand (hand made tortillas and spits), Komos frozen yogurt and Aroma Norte, this is an upscale a coffee shop.
Currently, two main bars are open. The Mixology bar, called The Cocktail Bar and Digit our digital art/sports bar, which is the only element located on south tower open, right near lobby. Must try “The Sombrero” it rivals the Carajillo.
Ava Bay is gorgeous in person. As the resort adds activities and entertainment, I see it being very vibrant and fun for all ages. AVA will offer pool parties, soft music, floating games and more. Suny pool is the kids pool and there AVA will do fun kids foam parties and kids club activities.
Dez day club and out adults only pool areas will open later on which are located in the south tower front area.
The gym is incredible, lots of classes will be offered. The spa is beautiful and boasts some amazing common areas and cabins.
For entertainment, AVA has art classes for all ages, cooking classes, wellness activities, theme nights for adults, mixology classes and some extra spa activities. This is apart from on site entertainment at speakeasy, nightclub, around the promenade and of course daytime by pool.
The kids club, teen lounge, daycare facility, theater and south tower are currently not open we will share updates as we get them.
From the moment I arrived, the sheer grandeur of the resort immediately stands out. Nestled along the stunning Caribbean Sea, every single one of the 1,622 rooms, suites, and villas boasts breathtaking ocean views. The attention to detail in the room decor and amenities is impeccable, providing a perfect blend of comfort and luxury.
You will not find a resort that is closer to the airport. However, during my stay the noise from the air traffic was minimal. With its proximity, this location will be perfect for corporate retreats, destination weddings and similar large group travel, as it is so easy to access and boasts 90,000 square feet of event space.
A quick rundown of the main points of AVA.
Oceanfront Accommodations

Online, you will read it's a 10 minute transfer to the resort from the airport, but mine was more like 5 minutes.
It features 1,622 rooms, suites, and villas, all with ocean views of the Caribbean Sea.
