All-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, Hawaii, multi-generational trips and milestone celebrations, built around your budget, your calendar and how your family likes to travel.
Every trip is different, but this is the usual rhythm. I keep track of the deadlines and remind you before anything is due.
For school breaks, the winter holidays and group trips, book early for the best rooms and flights.
Often enough time for off-peak beach trips, especially with flexible dates.
Excursions, celebration extras, transfers and your final documents.
One person to message if anything needs sorting.
Many standard resort rooms max out at four people, babies included. Families of five or more usually need a suite, connecting rooms or a specific room type, and I look for that from the start.
Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos are shorter direct flights from Vancouver than the Caribbean. That’s a real difference with little kids.
Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island each feel very different. Choosing the right island shapes the trip more than choosing the resort.
Beach & Resorts
Riviera Maya, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and more. Great value, direct flights from Vancouver, and resorts with kids’ clubs that let parents relax too.
Beach & Resorts
Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Turks & Caicos, Aruba and beyond. I match all-inclusive resorts and family suites to how much structure your family wants.
Beach & Resorts
From Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa on Oahu, to quieter stays on Maui and Kauai. I help you pick the island first, then the resort.
For Disney, Universal and popular cruises, 9–12 months ahead gives the best choice of hotels, cabins and dining times. Alaska summer sailings and school-break trips often book up even earlier. I can still find good options closer to your dates, so reach out and I’ll tell you what’s realistic.
No. The first conversation is always free with no obligation. A deposit is only needed when you’re ready to book a specific trip, and I’ll walk you through exactly what’s due and when before anything is charged.
It depends on the supplier. Some offer Canadian-dollar pricing and some only quote in U.S. dollars. I always tell you which currency a price is in before you book, so there are no surprises on your credit card statement.
For most family trips, especially cruises and anything outside Canada, I recommend it. Your provincial health plan covers very little once you leave the country. Insurance can also cover cancellations and interruptions. I’ll walk you through options that fit your trip and any coverage you already have through work or a credit card.
Every supplier has its own rules. Some refund in full up to a certain date, and some keep the deposit. I explain the cancellation terms before you book and remind you before any penalty dates, so you’re never caught off guard.
