My love of travel started at a young age. Family road trips across the country and vacations in Hawaii is where it all began. After starting a family, we traveled frequently to the beach, Disney, and many places near and far. My husband and I also traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. In early 2023 I left my corporate accounting career, which allowed me to focus on my traveling clients and seeing more of the world for myself. My adventures included Thailand, Maui, Walt Disney World, Puerto Vallarta, Curacao, Jamaica, Vancouver, Alaska & Amsterdam. 2024 began i...

Anne King at Vincent Vacations helped me plan a trip of a lifetime. I narrowed my travel destination to two places then Anne suggested the Netherlands and I was all in. She helped plan a seamless vacation including flights, hotel, transportation, museums and tours. This trip definitely exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use her and Vincent Vacations again.

Multi-generation family vacation before Christmas 2023
We had a great experience and would highly recommend Iberostar Tucan. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean a comfortable. Pool and beach were both well stocked with seating so there was none of that âreserving your seats at dawn or there will be no where to sitâ.
The food was good and could be great depending on your individual preferences. Personally, I really enjoyed the Japanese Hibachi grill experience and the smokehouse BBQ was excellent. My oldest son thought the Smokehouse pulled pork was the best heâd ever had. Tiffany loved the Crème BrĂťlĂŠe at the Mediterranean restaurant, my 16 year old son thought the pizza crust at the Italian restaurant was the best.
Buildings 14 and 15 have the best views, facing the interior jungle. There is an abundance of wildlife in the âjungleâ. We were greeted each morning by acrobatic monkeys swinging through the canopy right outside our balcony. Peacocks and Lemurs are a common sight throughout the resort. There was even a big iguana living beneath the patio of our building (14) that greeted us each day basking in the sun.
Transportation via Amstar both to and from the resort was great. Vehicles were in excellent shape, clean, comfortable and professional driven.
We arrange an outing to Tulum via Amstar and our guide spoke both English and German to accommodate some of the German guest joining us on our trip to Tulum.
Overall the resort was in great shape. I saw no indications of any deferred maintenance or lack of attention to the buildings or grounds. As mentioned previously, the staff were super friendly and helpful. We were always greeted with a smile and a âhow can we helpâ attitude.
We will definitely return someday.

Why use a travel advisor when traveling during hurricane season?
I am currently sitting on my hotel room in Clearwater, Florida. We were supposed to be in Jamaica right now, but Hurricane Beryl is headed for a direct hit. So...we changed our plans. (The biggest red island in the picture is Jamaica--currently under a hurricane warning.)
But that's not the point of this post.
I have clients in Cancun right now. (See the pink line on the map, which is currently a hurricane watch for The Yucatan.) They arrived on Sunday and have been having a fabulous time as a family. They are supposed to leave for home on Friday...the same day Hurricane Beryl is supposed to hit the Cancun area.
My clients were wise and purchased travel insurance. If they do face cancellations or long delays, their additional expenses will be reimbursed. Knowing that is helping them to be proactive.
As the storm's path has been developing, I've been watching. This morning, while they are enjoying their vacation, I booked them new flights home on Saturday. They now have a guaranteed way home if things get dicey on Friday and their original flights get canceled. Flights are always the hardest part in situations like these. We will get them an extra night at the hotel when we know more.
If they are able to leave as scheduled, they will have flight credit to use on future travel. If they get stuck, they have flights home and won't have to wait in endlessly long lines at the Cancun airport.
All this done while they enjoy a snorkel trip as a family. They aren't scrambling trying to figure things out. I'm sure there is some stress regarding the unknown, but for now, they are OK.
This is what I do as your travel advisor. Even when I'm on vacation myself!
Lessons from this experience?Â
1. Hire a travel advisor to help you with your vacations!Â
2. Buy travel insurance--especially during Hurricane Season!

Jamaica!! It's a place where the sun dances on the turquoise waves, where the air is filled with the rhythm of reggae, and every moment feels like paradise!
I absolutely love this gem of the Caribbean and think everyone should vacation here at least once in their lives.
Here are a few reasons why
The Beaches: There are so many picture-perfect stretches of powdery sand, swaying palm trees, and sunsets like no other. Whether you're lounging in the shade of a thatched-roof cabana, snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, or simply strolling along the shoreline, Jamaica's beaches are a slice of paradise. My favorite is 7-mile beach in Negril.
The People:Â From the moment you step off the plane, you're greeted with smiles as warm as the Jamaican sun. The service here is more than just friendly; it's genuine, heartfelt, and always delivered with a side of Jamaican charm. Whether you're chatting with a local vendor at the market, being served a fruity drink on the beach at your resort, or being serenaded by a street musician, you can't help but feel the joy and positivity in every interaction.
The Food: Jamaica is a culinary delight, with flavors and influences that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more. From the fiery heat of jerk chicken to the comforting embrace of a Jamaican meat patty, every dish tells a story of tradition, history, and passion. And the best part? You'll find these mouthwatering delights everywhere you go--from roadside shacks, to the all-inclusive resorts, and at any of the amazing five-star restaurants overlooking the ocean.
The Convenience: Getting to Jamaica from DFW couldn't be easier. There are regular flights, many non-stop, between Dallas Airports (DFW or DAL) and the MBJ International Airport. Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a longer escape, you'll find that Jamaica is an easy flight away. The convenience makes it the perfect destination for spontaneous adventures, indulgent honeymoons, destination weddings, anniversary trips and more.
The Safety: While no one can guarantee a trouble-free vacation, tourist safety is a top priority here. Tourism is the countries largest industry, and therefore they have many dedicated efforts to ensure that visitors feel secure and well-cared for throughout their stay. Jamaica goes above and beyond to see that your vacation is worry-free and filled with nothing but the best memories. It is essential for travelers to exercise typical caution and be mindful of their surroundings. Keep with reputable guided tours, avoid sketchy areas (especially at night), and enjoy the many amenities offered at your resort.
Jamaica stole my heart from the first moment I arrived, and it continues to be one of my favorite destinations. From its breathtaking beaches and friendly service, to its mouthwatering cuisine and ease of travel, Jamaica is a destination like no other. It's a place where every moment feels like a dream and every day is a celebration of life, love, and the beauty of the Caribbean.

Margaritaville Island Reserve Riviera Maya is the perfect option for a weekend getaway or short-stay vacation.
Located only 15 minutes from Cancun Airport, it is easy to get to and you can be at the pool by afternoon on your day of arrival.
Resort highlights:
⢠Adults only
⢠All-inclusive
⢠New resort, opened June 1, 2023
⢠On-site brewery
⢠Large pool
⢠Daytime and nighttime activities on site
The room: I stayed at this hotel in March 2024 in a King Paradise Room. The room was spacious with bright and fresh dĂŠcor and furnishings. There is plenty of space to stretch out and ample storage. There is a large walk-in shower and great lighting in the bathroom. I really appreciated the newness of the resortâeverything was clean and fresh.
The Minibar: Youâll find a unique mini-bar setup with a lime juicer, margarita glasses, and a cocktail shaker in your room. Donât let the empty fridge throw you! Based on your room category and the number of nights of your stay, you will receive points to use in Joe Merchantâs Coffee & Provisions. Youâll shop for your soda, snacks, beer & liquors like you do in a convenience store. This gives you the ability to completely customize your roomâs minibar. Itâs a bit confusing in the beginning, but makes sense when you work through the process.
The Pools: there are 4 pools on the property. The highlight is the main pool with the 5 OâClock Somewhere Swim-up Bar. This is where youâll find the foam parties, DJâs, and games. Other pools are more quiet. There was plenty of pool chairs and cabanas. You wonât want to miss the famous floating avocado boat (additional charge) where you can munch on tacos, chips, salsas and guacamole while you are in the pool.
The Food: Everything I ate at the 3 a la carte and 1 food display restaurants was delicious! The food display is a spin on buffet dining where they keep the selections fresh by presenting smaller serving dishes in each area. There are plenty of choices, including a gluten-free bakery section. Every a la carte meal was fantastic with a steakhouse, an Italian restaurant, and a grill and brewery. Service was top-notch everywhere. The only downside in dining that I experienced was room service. You order on the app, and delivery was right on timeâamazing!! However, my choices left a lot to be desired, and I would have been better off going to buffet (food display).
The Beach: Donât be surprisedâŚthere is none. The waves come right up to the edge of the property. There is no room for beach chairs. At the time I was there, we werenât even allowed to step on the sand. The water close to the property isnât the prettiest. If you are a âpool personâ and putting your toes in the sand isnât a requirement for a fabulous vacation, you can still enjoy the beautiful views of the oceanâespecially at sunrise in the morning and twilight in the evening.
Overall recommendation: I would highly recommend this property to a couple looking for a weekend getaway or a girlâs trip looking for lively pool activities and fun evening entertainment. Four nights would be plenty. More than that, and you may get bored. I was there during the week, and it was fairly quiet. As we were leaving on a Friday, the crowd and atmosphere was definitely getting more lively. If a beautiful beach and pristine clear ocean are a must, this isnât the resort for you.
