This summer, our family vacation time was limited to five nights. Yes, just five nights that my kids crazy summer schedules were both free so we could do a little getaway. We decided that a relaxing beach vacation would be perfect for a five night trip, and I had been wanting to experience an Iberostar property. I have sent lots of guests to Iberostar Selection Cancun (and the adults only Coral Tower) so I knew this would be a solid choice. We had the most wonderful vacation and I keep reading for my full Iberostar Selection Cancun Review.

Last week, I had the best time at Beaches Negril with my teenage son. Since he wasn’t enrolled in too many camps this summer, we decided a mother-son trip was in order! We wanted to go somewhere new, with lots of activities for a teen, but I also wanted a smaller resort where we could go our own ways and not worry about having to hunt each other down. I knew Beaches Negril would be perfect for this type of trip, and we truly had the best time. I am so excited to share my Beaches Negril Review with you and help you decide if Beaches Negril would be perfect for your next family getaway
