Summer isn’t over yet, and that means there is still time for one last family adventure … and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, is the place to go.

 

Located in the region’s Hotel Zone and just a short walk from the iconic Malecón, Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Great Moments has the convenience of an all-inclusive beachfront resort while offering easy access to downtown’s historic sites, restaurants, art galleries, boutiques and cultural attractions.

 

Buenaventura Grand Hotel offers the ultimate family-friendly getaway thanks to its new Family Suite, designed for families who want to stay in one space during their vacation. The suite combines one deluxe king bedroom with one deluxe double bedroom, all while appearing as a single suite.

 

Beyond the suite, kids will love the Kids’ Club, featuring a children’s pool, beach sports, kayaking, cooking classes, recreational activities and daily entertainment. While the kids are occupied, parents can sip drinks at exclusive Sky Bar, relax at Shakti Spa and unwind at the adults-only pool.

 

The hotel is currently offering a Close to You, Close to the Sea promotion, giving guests 26 percent off, two children free and interest-free installment payments through Paypal for the Mexican market. Reservations must be made by Sept. 6 for stays through Jan. 3, 2028.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.

On Location: Experience The Real-Life Settings of Your Favorite Films and TV Shows

Set-jetting is more than just a cute play on words. It’s a travel concept that lets you visit the real-life settings of some of your favorite movies and television shows. At one time you had to go someplace like Universal Studios in Hollywood to visit your favorite movie and television show sets. While you can still take studio tours (the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London is the place to go if you are a diehard fan of the Harry Potter franchise), these days there are filming locations all over the world, and the tourism industry makes visiting them in person as easy as buying a plane ticket.
