Lets be honest, I do not take trips for myself or a girls trip. Honestly up until recently, I never really travelled much, all because of money not for the lack of wanting to travel. Things have changed just because I want that for my children and myself so we got our money straight over a year ago and the game has changed but that is a conversation for another day! 😉
On a random Thursday early afternoon in July I got a text from my mother about an invite to a family girls trip to Cancun! Umm yesssss please!!!!

Bookings can be made many different ways, this resort is available on many platforms which allows you to cater your booking to your taste and preference.
[My top preferences for booking this resort based upon ease and visibility]

As soon as I visit the location I will post again, including photos from our stay!! I am working to connect with the resort to be able to get some more behind the scenes insights along with getting into some of the different levels of rooms!!!
When you book tell them that The Working Housewife sent you and if you send me confirmation of your booking I will send you some Working Housewife stickers!
