										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">VIP Agents have been around the world and back again. We like to think we know a little bit about packing for any trip that comes our way! We’ve compiled a list of our go-to items, necessary to make any traveling a success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nowadays you can find an “Ultimate Packing List” almost anywhere on the internet. We hope that this list will be items that you didn’t think of or maybe never heard of! They are smart, innovative, and solutions to problems that may arise whether you are on your dream trip, destination wedding, or a short getaway!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left" id="h-portable-charger-power-bank"><strong>Portable Charger/Power Bank</strong></h3>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph">Most likely your travel documents, boarding passes, and emergency contacts will be stored on your phone. While traveling, you want to make sure your phone battery is fully charged, and be equipped with a backup. That is why a portable charger/power bank is our <strong>number one must have</strong> for any traveler!</p>


<div class="wp-block-image is-style-default">

<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left" id="h-compression-bags"><strong>Compression Bags</strong></h3>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph">Save space in your suitcase for whatever you need it for! This is a huge help if you are an over packer, or even a big shopper while you are away. They don’t require any vacuum or suction, so they are perfect for on the go. They are airtight and protect your clothes from odors, bugs, moths, dirt, and dampness.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left" id="h-luggage-scale"><strong>Luggage Scale</strong></h3>



<p class="has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph">This is a must have if you find yourself stressed about the weight of your luggage. We have found that airlines have varying restrictions and sometimes it can change if you are on a different airline coming home versus going out. Or maybe you’re trying to travel lighter and cut down on your carbon footprint. Whatever the reason, be sure to get include one of these on your packing list!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-universal-travel-adapter"><strong>Universal Travel Adapter</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the worldwide explorer, this will let you use up the electricity of 150 different countries! This specific adapter can also charge up to 6 devices simultaneously with 4 USB-A ports, 1 USB-C port, and 1 AC socket. Ideal for charging iPhones, laptops, tablets, power banks, cameras, headsets, and more.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-collapsible-water-bottle"><strong>Collapsible Water Bottle</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One thing we like to stress is the importance of staying hydrated while traveling! Whether we are making our way across different time zones, or walking miles in Disney World, we find that water is sure to fuel us and make us feel better! That is why we love to have this collapsible water bottle on our packing list wherever we go! Just make sure the water is always safe ?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-travel-scarf-with-hidden-pockets"><strong>Travel Scarf with Hidden Pockets</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a must have on your list when packing to travel to crowded places! It allows you to keep your most valuable items close to you, with your hands free and your eyes focused on more important things – like seeing the sights you’ve always dreamed about!</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-travel-money-belt"><strong>Travel Money Belt</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is another great way to keep your belongings out of sight and safe. It is a more lightweight option, so it is better for your hot weather trips, in comparison to the travel scarf which helps to keep you cozy!</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-staying-longer-you-ll-get-even-more"><strong>Staying Longer? You’ll get even more!</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are staying 7 or more nights, what Sandals Resorts calls a &#8220;WeddingMoon&#8221;, you’ll get even more free perks! This can help cover the costs of your wedding license or offset the cost of that room upgrade you wanted (go for the Butler Service – you won’t regret it!). It can even pay towards a romantic candlelight dinner with your new spouse!</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-location-location-location"><strong>Location, Location, Location!</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sandals is one of the top resort brands in the Caribbean. You can be sure that each of their 17 resorts are located on stunning beaches with unique wedding venues! It’s hard enough deciding which of the 6 islands you want to get married at. Sandals has resorts in Antigua, Barbados, the Bahamas, Curacao, Grenada, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia. Now you have to decide: Do you want to have a barefoot, beachfront ceremony? What about vows exchanged in a one-of-a-kind Over the Water Chapel? Is a tropical garden more your style? Do you want to wear your favorite pair of Jimmy Choo’s and get married on a rooftop sky terrace overlooking the ocean? The options are (almost) endless!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-affordable-food-amp-beverage-options"><strong>Affordable Food &amp; Beverage Options</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Planning a wedding at home can easily cost a couple $80, $100, or even $200 per head just on food &amp; beverage alone. Thinking about those costs is enough to make any bride want to elope! But at Sandals, you can have a full reception dinner for as little as $14 per person – and that includes alcohol! Plus, Sandals has variety of menu options to choose from! So if you want to have an Italian themed Welcome Dinner, a more traditional four-course Reception Dinner, and then a Post-Wedding Brunch (mimosas included!), you can and you won’t have to worry about robbing a bank after.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-group-perks-that-can-t-be-beat"><strong>Group Perks that Can’t be Beat</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bringing down the friends &amp; family? Sandals has you covered! By booking a group with Sandals, you’ll get even MORE perks (as if all the frees you’re getting already aren’t enough)! Sandals group perks are based on how many rooms you bring down with you, and the more rooms that book into your block, the more you receive! Their group perks range from a free Sangria Bar to a free Welcome Cocktail Party to a free Reception Dinner or even a free room upgrade. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unsure about where to start getting information for bringing a group down for your wedding? I recommend reaching out to an experienced Destination Wedding Travel Agency like <a href="https://www.vacationsbyvip.com/contact-vip-travel-specialists/">VIP Vacations</a>! A good travel agency will be able to help you figure out which Sandals resort is best for you, as well as work with your guests to book their travel. That way, you are off the hook and won’t need to explain to Aunt Mary for the fifth time which hotel she should book at – let your travel agent do that!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-easy-to-navigate-wedding-planning-tools"><strong>Easy-to-Navigate Wedding Planning Tools</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As any bride knows, one of the skill sets you develop while planning your wedding is patience. You are constantly waiting to hear back from someone – your florist, the reception venue, your second cousin’s new girlfriend. Sandals Resorts is one of the only hotel brands I know of where they have pricing clearly listed online for floral &amp; décor items. What does this mean for brides? It means that you don’t need to wait 2-3 business days to find out how much that centerpiece, bouquet, or plate charger costs. Complete game changer! With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can have your wedding planned and don’t need to hear back from anyone! (Except maybe your second cousin’s new girlfriend – someone teach that girl how to mail back an RSVP!)</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-experienced-wedding-planners"><strong>Experienced Wedding Planners</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless if you’re the type of bride who wants to have everything planned out 6 months from your big day or if you’re more comfortable planning a little bit here and a little bit there, Sandals is here to support you with their experienced (and free!) wedding planners! Whether you work best by email, phone or even video chat, Sandals has you covered! Your Sandals Wedding Planner knows all the ins and outs of planning a wedding at one of their resorts and will make sure that nothing is forgotten for your big day!</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-virtual-wedding-planning-sessions"><strong>Virtual Wedding Planning Sessions</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you someone who needs to see something before you can make a decision? Aren’t sure how the Wood Grain Charger plants will look with the Ivory Lace Table Runner? &nbsp;No worries – Sandals can help with that! With their Virtual Wedding Planning Sessions, you’ll be able to video chat with your wedding planner while they show you what your ceremony &amp; reception décor will look. And if something doesn’t look right or you really like that geometric candle holder you spot on the shelf? Your wedding planner can adjust the design in real time with you! As someone who has been working with Sandals brides for over 20 years, there are only two words that properly describe this feature: LIFE CHANGING.</p>

</div>


<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-give-them-a-test-drive"><strong>Give them a Test Drive!</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Still not sure Sandals is the right fit for you? Test it out! With Sandals’ Test Drive Your Weddingmoon program, you can stay for up to 3 nights at one of their resorts for as low as $250 per couple per night! During your stay you’ll get to experience first-hand the amenities Sandals has to offer. You&#8217;ll get to meet with the on-site wedding team to tour the resort. You will view the ceremony locations, go over catering menus &amp; décor options, and answer any questions you might have. After you’ve booked your Sandals Wedding group, you can enjoy up to $1050 in credit to use towards the cost of your wedding. (Another free perk? Yes indeed!).</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-your-wedding-customized-to-fit-you"><strong>Your Wedding Customized to fit YOU</strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even though Sandals offers all these amazing perks, they don’t mean anything if your big day doesn’t reflect you and the love you and your fiancé have for each other. That’s why at Sandals Resorts, you won’t be pigeon-holed into picking a wedding package that doesn’t fit your vibe. Your experience will be tailored to fit what you are looking for, so no two weddings are alike. Whether you and your guests want to have a weekend filled with cocktails, catamaran cruises, and Caribbean calypso bands or a more laid back weekend of relaxing on the beach, rum runners, and romance (or something in between), Sandals is here to customize your wedding experience to fit YOU.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been lucky enough to visit many different islands and resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean. However, it didn’t take much time for me to pick my favorite – the Karisma Resorts! This brand has both adults-only resorts (El Dorado &amp; Margaritaville) and family-friendly properties (Azul, Generations, Nickelodeon to name a few). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am lucky enough to get to stay at one of the Karisma resorts at least once a year. I am NEVER disappointed and I NEVER want to leave! These resorts are also considered “gourmet inclusive” instead of just “all-inclusive”. They take a lot of pride in their food! Everything I’ve ever eaten here has been OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD delicious! Not to mention, the service is IMPECCABLE! The staff truly cares about your experience and making it one to last a lifetime. I find myself rarely opening a door for myself when visiting one of these properties!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of them all, my heart remains a part of El Dorado Royale/Casitas Royale! It was the first resort I visited as a travel advisor and also my first trip out of the country. Turns out, this property would be where I married my hubby six years later in August of 2016! <em>A few years later we took our first trip as a family of three, with our son, at the neighboring, family-friendly Generations property!</em></p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="622" height="415" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/RJmKCs1I_Dw-hGlx3a96Mok5ugVFnM_JYjEvkK1inyObf-wGgsCXJ8hQG66jDwT2xI3_uMKxnwDWqUUQVxCRmb25T-BvgFLG0Bgm1wuG58LJqgebAJXikf8kFDxqHoS_smVMvlBOSqh34jGeG18uifL6UmKQgQHI_8ZGhqWYKrR-6LKblFF9lpvP8qDknpeVwnUZlsss3Q"><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">El Dorado Royale/Casitas Royale is in the Riviera Maya, just a short 20-minute ride from the Cancun Airport. It is close enough to be able to experience the hustle and bustle of Cancun, yet far enough to feel like you are in a secluded, Mexican paradise! On property, guests will find world-class restaurants, an array of bars, multiple pools, two fitness centers, and even two full-service spas!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I feel nothing short of spoiled when I stay here and I make sure to recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, romantic Mexican vacation! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For all your sun &amp; sand needs, be sure to check out our <a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/vipvacationsinc/list/19Y2C5LKYYG9I?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfvipvacationsinc_7TPY0YF7GE26TEQDCXMW">Amazon storefront</a> for our must-haves!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><em>Want to know more? Here are my Top 5 Need-to-Know Tips for your next visit!</em></strong></h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-still-hungry-order-more"><strong><em>Still Hungry? Order More!</em></strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There has never been a restaurant I did not like at this resort! With 14 different dining options, your taste buds will never get bored. You’ll be able to tickle your palate with cuisines from Italian to Mexican, American to Asian, and Caribbean to International. Most of these restaurants are a la carte, but there are a few food displays (buffets) on site as well.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One thing to remember &#8211; some of the a la carte restaurants do serve smaller portions, but don’t forget that you are at an all-inclusive resort! Order a second time… or take advantage of the complimentary 24-hour room service that is available to you!  <em>They have amazing guacamole</em> and the mini bar is also complimentary and restocked daily.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="416" height="416" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1cnlyhjGM-4dUNcwIo3AAszwfS8Y4uBg1u0gIl_NG3Dxo89vWeHyjzeGo2rJL1Fp2idH_25Bz9ZlPN9WOyUlYE78cLaulZkbrYHnZuDyrpFpCRvP0do2JvLOxORtaJc0BnLyzgkOkqKeJ973ngrNj7eSKtpOGh5s4tgviYcfRejhSpOLzWdo1f8PRX78h7OszK4pGKqMjw"><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The dress code on property is Resort Casual for breakfast &amp; lunch and Resort Elegant for dinner. Woman can essentially wear whatever they would like in the restaurants (just no swimsuits). Men must wear T-shirts for breakfast, as well as a collared shirt (polo or button up) and closed toe shoes for dinner. You are welcome to make reservations, but they are not required.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-can-i-drink-the-water"><strong><em>Can I drink the water?</em></strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The resort has an incredible filtration system, so you really don’t need to worry about the water. While I wouldn’t put my head under the faucet and drink from there, I’ve used the faucet water to wet my toothbrush and rinse my mouth out and have never had any issues, so you don’t have to worry about that. You also don’t have to worry about the water they use to rinse the food or the ice cubes you’ll find floating in your margarita (<em>if you ordered it on the rocks, that is!).</em> They will stock your room daily with 6-10 bottles of water. Feel free to use them to fill up your <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YTZZZJM?linkCode=ssc&amp;tag=onamzjen035ad-20&amp;creativeASIN=B09YTZZZJM&amp;asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.19Y2C5LKYYG9I&amp;ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d_asin&amp;th=1">reuseable water bottle</a>, and if you run out, ask for more! <strong>Stay hydrated, folks!</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-daily-amp-night-entertainment"><strong><em>Daily &amp; Night Entertainment</em></strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the items you will receive upon check in will be an activity sheet. You can also find this on your in-room flat screen TV! These are all FREE activities for you to do, so I HIGHLY recommend you take advantage of them! There are activities such as kayaking tours, snorkeling, touring the greenhouse, cooking demonstrations, dance lessons, coconut painting, trivia games, bingo, bicycles to use, tequila tastings, and more! At night, you can enjoy live music from local musicians, dance the night away to heart-pumping DJ’s, watch fire dancers, or attend nightly theme parties (<em>like casino nights!</em>). You also have full use of the fitness center at no extra cost, so you can burn off a few of those calories you are sure to eat (<strong>and drink</strong>) up!</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-looking-for-something-extra-special"><strong><em>Looking for something extra special?</em></strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While the resort is all inclusive, there are some things that do cost additional, such as: the gift shop, laundry service, the Starbucks coffee shop, &amp; some telephone and fax services. You can also make your trip extra special with some unique add-ons like a <strong>private dinner on the beach</strong>, tennis lessons, beauty salon services, <strong>a couples massage next to the ocean</strong>, a wine pairing at a Culinary Theatre and tours/excursions. You can purchase spa treatments and tours/excursions ahead of time or upon arrival.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="554" height="416" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/vXuEFHTCO17UVuUUz2UC60yNtJbZVYcwTS4a2YLIrDyzhqffJhGnlylnTJtHm5he3nb0uvpDqcv91MhqRJxz8rYfl_wv2PX5U2EuQQG8SNTDKy5YryIkHl7VLs8yWeK0kzeJNNqELE-gEoNP1wLTOb8CbkI-PrBtk-EwvcvzEz73WSFOayo7Qjm6IIwmrvpJlomRMFGsIA"><br></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-immerse-yourself-in-the-culture"><strong><em>Immerse yourself in the culture!</em></strong></h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The resort offers a complimentary shuttle into Cancun and Playa del Carmen where you can go shopping, eat some local cuisine, have a drink at a bar, or go dancing at night! Cancun is a 35-minute ride, while Playa del Carmen is a quicker 20-minute ride from the hotel. This service requires a reservations, which you can make at the front desk.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="624" height="681" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ShliconK7YDbiGsXrHhlbjZCiJbmLj2NRkd7UHqbL4HphKjuyd_hMg4x6XozteEGbwq1suUNob1EP3y3IoNhrFQq-0Nbw7wR8fUrrpsPxR3OdgLtOQ2ScoMps5TXeuZYr0V-y-aGOs1yIkQjBw3yx6v2qM5jbc10QzkOmqU3G1xSdwb1ngryl_MDxMVG_EK8MTc8pPDheQ" alt="A person posing for a picture

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Additionally, this is the 2nd year that VIP Vacations Wins this Global Destination Wedding Award.  The LUXlife 2022 Global Wedding Awards launched in 2016.  This event joins together the best businesses across the wedding industry, from wedding planners and stunning venues to high-end caterers and bespoke stationers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The awards work on the basis of merit and quality. Similarly, they are not based upon the number of votes or size of the institution.  This ensures that the many independent and boutique businesses who form a vital part of the wedding industry receive the recognition they deserve. Winners have extensive expertise and skills. Winners also are dedicated to customer service and client satisfaction.  Finally, winners share an ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation.  In addition, previous champions of the Global Wedding Awards span the entirety of the sector. This demonstrates the wealth of industry excellence available across the globe. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a worldwide circulation of 238,000 LUXlife is perfect for wedding vendors.  Likewise, vendors find value promoting their brand across a global readership.  Finally, each winner in the Global Wedding Awards has the chance to utilize the LUXlife platform to share their news with their engaged audience.</p>
