How this mother-daughter duo bonded in Mexico
‘Tis the season to spend with your loved ones, but instead of huddling together in front of a fireplace, why not share blissful days together on an all inclusive vacation in Mexico! It’s a popular idea, just ask models, content creators and mother-daughter travel duo, Mélanie (@melanie_savard76) and Marie-William (@mariewilliambourgeois), who decided to deepen their bond (and their tans) with a vacay to the hard-to-beat Riu Palace Mexico in Riviera Maya. Look back at their getaway with Sunwing Vacations and start planning what paradise looks like with your loved ones.
Every journey begins with a single step
The first step for Mélanie and Marie-William? Make the (right) choice of travelling to the tropics with Sunwing Vacations! Like the experienced travellers they are, they made the flynancially-savvy move and upgraded to Elite Plus, a small price to pay for added comfort in transit, not to mention bonus value including priority check-in, boarding and baggage handling!
Time spent together is never time wasted
Nothing says a quality one-on-one sesh like a Riviera Maya all inclusive vacation – especially with RIU Hotels & Resorts! While it wasn’t Mélanie’s first time in Riviera Maya, it was for Marie-William, and neither had experienced RIU which made this getaway extra special. “It was our very first time in a RIU hotel and, honestly, we were impressed – 5-star service, welcoming, warm and caring people, the hotel was extremely well maintained, our room was magnificent, and the variety and quality of the food was exceptional,” Mélanie shared.
There’s more than one way to bond on vacation, especially with a resort as packed with excitement like this one! “Lots of wonderful activities from the gym to yoga, tennis, bingo (yes!), pool activities, a beautiful beach and, in the evenings, live shows and music!” says Marie-William. “We can definitely say that it’s a hotel chain you can trust…you can’t go wrong!”
Nothing strengthens a bond like new experiences
When in paradise, do paradise things! Mélanie and Marie-William made sure to squeeze every last drop of fun out of their Riviera Maya vacation by exploring the world around them. While it can be a bit daunting to try something new, our trusted partner in destination, NexusTours.com make it so easy to have a great time while being well taken care of. The duo visited the iconic Mayan ruins of Chichén Itzá, swam in the awe-inspiring cenotes and snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters off the coast. “Honestly, everything went really well! The guides are really nice,” said Marie-William. “As a duo, of course, it’s wonderful to be able to share these magical moments together” replied Mélanie.
Making memories that last forever
When you look back at a getaway well spent, it’s not simply the memory of the beach or luxurious resort amenities that stick with you – it’s the little things, like a morning coffee watching the sun rise, taking part in fun pool activities and swapping stories over gourmet dinners. “We already have a great bond,” said Mélanie, “but from lots of laughter to taking the time to talk, we’ve enjoyed these very special moments and are incredibly grateful for them.”
