Unfortunately, we can't all be at the beach all the time -- but we can transport ourselves there. As someone who lives in land-locked Arkansas, I often crave the saltiness, sandiness and freshness of the beach. For a while there, I was using a blow up pool and the local sand volleyball court to recreate [...]
Summer is one of my favorite seasons because there's always an occasion appropriate for a refreshing drink. We talk a lot about tasty beachy drinks over here at BlueSun and that's because we want the refreshing lifestyle of "all included drinks, alcoholic and non" to come right to your home. Maybe you're a mother-to-be or [...]
I don't know about you, but my favorite thing about traveling is -- you won't guess this -- the hotel room. I know that sounds weird, but for some reason, the more beautiful and luxurious my hotel room is, the better my trip is. Maybe it's because after long day of hanging out by the beach, [...]
I know, I know. It's a Monday, meaning 90% of us are struggling to some level at our work desks right about now.

Whether you're headed to the beach, pool, ski slopes or camp ground, you should always have a bottle of sunscreen by your side -- yes, even if it's cloudy. But, finding the perfect sunscreen that makes you feel safe and protected, but doesn't break you out or make you feel greasy is hard, right? Well [...]
Nothing throws off the relaxing vibes like getting sprayed in the face with a water gun as a kid runs past your pool lounge chair. *actual circumstance from our CEO's experience.* Don't get me wrong! I love kids more than the best of them, but if you're working an 8-5 job, are a mother of [...]
If you're someone who actually takes advantage of your allotted vacation days each year, you understand the importance of making paid time off count. PTO days are really the only days in adult life that allow you to call all the shots, give zero craps, eat and drink whatever you want, be lazy and, in some cases, [...]
I don't know about you, but I hate saving money. Let me rephrase that... I love saving money -- obviously -- but I don't love budgeting. The act of planning out when and where I'm going to spend my paychecks stresses me out to no end. via GIPHY So, in lieu of that, I've decided [...]
We all know that a trip to the beach isn't complete without a good read -- right? In my mind, there's something undeniably perfect about diving into good book with the soundtrack of waves, wind and birds playing in the background. So, while my friends are off playing frisbee or sand volleyball, I usually find [...]
It's obvious that here at BlueSun, we are pretty big fans of the beach, which wouldn't exist without the great wide ocean itself. The beloved, luxurious resorts we know, love, and sell wouldn't be here without that body of water. Therefore, it goes without saying that we are totally celebrating June 8th's #WorldOceanDay! Thanks to [...]
So, today I'm celebrating my second wedding anniversary -- I know, I'm so old and so wise now -- and, as I look back on that fateful day two years ago, I have a lot of regrets. For one, I chose horrible colors. In my 22-year-old mind, I for some ungodly reason thought that sea-foam [...]
Whenever it comes to choosing a destination to travel to, I always get stumped. There's so many amazing options in the Caribbean and Mexico alone with so many gorgeous resort properties. To make it a little easier to navigate where to travel this next year, let's start with one of the most beautiful wonders of [...]
When it comes to beach vacations, many people's main focus is on the type of resort they'll stay at, the activities it will offer, cuisine options, etc. For others, the priority is on the quality of the beach they're visiting. If the latter is your style, you'll love this list of 6 incredibly beautiful beaches throughout [...]
I'm one of those people who could sit on the beach for all eternity without getting bored. I love the sound of the waves, I love the smell of the ocean, I love the feeling of sand on my skin and I love watching palm trees sway in the wind -- for me, it's euphoria. But, [...]
Thankfully, one-piece bathing suits have made their way back into the realm of fashionable swimwear. I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for this to happen since -- oh, I don't know -- I was born. One-piece suits are amazing because they not only look nice, but they provide some welcomed coverage and protection from the [...]
I don't know about you, but when I return home from the beach, I go through an intense vacation hangover. Right when I step foot into land-locked Arkansas (my home), I can't help but to torment myself with thoughts like, "Wow, three days ago I was sitting on the beach drinking a mojito" or "If I [...]
Being one of the top destinations in the world, Jamaica has a lot (and I mean a lot) of All Inclusive destinations to offer. From secluded escapes, to buzzing high-rises, to family-friendly properties there's something for everyone -- but Couples (which is exclusive to the island) is definitely a major stand-out. From Ocho Rios to Negril, [...]
So, you're thinking of planning a beach trip soon and you want it to be all girls? This is always a good idea. However, you may want to make sure you cover all grounds as far as personalities. You don't want too many dominant travelers, just like you don't want too many introverts. A good [...]
Summer is calling and you know what that means? I start to get ansy to kick-back, relax, and post up on the beach. Anyone else? via GIPHY But if you are anything like me, saving over spending is definitely not my greatest strength. But you aren't alone! First of all, we're just glad you see [...]
It's about that time for a girls' trip and you know what that means, via GIPHY Calling all bachelorette parties, college reunions, or mom getaways. We all know that when multiple cooks are in the kitchen, feelings can get hurt, toes can get stepped on, or disasters can strike via GIPHY That's where the beauty of [...]
1. Ocean view You came all this way-- even if it feels cliche, it's a must. No matter the weather, the blue water + blues sky combo is breathtaking. 2. Room design I don't know about you, but the room aesthetics are always one of the first things I notice upon arriving at a resort. [...]
Tired of seeing those Facebook albums full of perfectly staged exotic beach photos? Whenever I see a friend's vacation photos on my timeline, on the outside I'm like, via GIPHY But on the inside, I'm actually like this... via GIPHY Sometimes I just want to be the first of my friends to snag that killer swim-out [...]
There's an endless list of fun things that come along with a beach getaway, but I think we can all agree that the exposure to authentic food lands at the top of that list. It's nice (and delicious) to have a change in your daily diet. Plus, when you're eating what's unique to the location [...]

Beaches attract tourists like magnets. Families, honeymooners, beach bums and thrill-seekers alike flock the ocean's shore to enjoy a wide-range of activities like sunbathing, surfing, beach volleyball and more. But, as it turns out, there's a lot most people don't know about their favorite vacation destination. For example -- did you know that the beach used [...]
Our team was blown away by the city of La Romana when we took a trip to the Caribbean back in March. Why is it underrated, you might ask? Well, according to the locals, it used to take 2-3 hours to drive to this destination from the PUJ airport. Now, it takes under an hour because of a [...]
I don't know about you, but when I'm on vacation, I have a hard time deciding when and where to snap photos. Like, I want to capture everyone, everything and every moment, but I don't want to spend my entire vacation with a phone or camera in my hand -- you know? And, no one [...]
It's officially May, which means summer is RIGHT around the corner. Seriously, it'll be June before we know it! This means you hopefully have a vacation planned soon.

I always put travel accessories on the back burner when I travel, until I realize that organization would make my life so much easier and give me an opportunity to feel more put together. I feel so stressed at the airport when I am constantly scrambling through my purse to keep track of all my [...]
In this day and age, there are multiple ways in which we are able to share our everyday life experiences with the world. Not only that, but it's become somewhat of a necessity to do so. If you didn't post pictures of your beach vacation, did you actually go on one? With that being said, [...]
When it comes to vacationing, there's no one-size-fits-all formula. What one person finds fun and relaxing, may seem stressful, tiring or downright unappealing to someone else. For example, I like to spend my vacations in a somewhat vegetative state -- aka all I want to do it eat, drink, sleep and lay out. My husband, on the [...]
Taking the perfect family photo is hard -- especially when you're on the beach. Not only is it a headache to get the entire family in the same spot, wearing coordinated outfits, ready to say "cheese" at the same time, but the elements of the beach hardly ever seem to be in your favor. Namely, wind [...]
When hearing the words "kid-friendly", it makes both couples and parents cringe. As a couple, you want to escape from all humanity. I'm not a parent, but as a former babysitter I know good and well that any parent doesn't want to go on vacation to fight more crowds, deal with meltdowns, or feel forced to [...]
Sibling bonding, long-lasting memories, endless laughter and fruity beach drinks amidst a landscape of turquoise blue water, sandy beaches and sunny skies -- sounds great, right? via GIPHY Skrrrt -- insert sound of soundtrack abruptly stopping. When traveling with children, this soothing scene is rarely the case. Let’s be real, family vacation can feel like hard work [...]

Let's get straight to the point -- you should go to Now Onyx. Located in Uvero Alto, Now Onyx Punta Cana is set on a remote, palm-studded beach. Though it’s a family-friendly destination, Now Onyx has a very upscale, chic feel. With its green color scheme, natural wood accents and marble surfaces, the resort almost feels like [...]
Hey honeymooners, let's get real for a second. We all know that when it comes to choosing the right destination for you and your new honey, you want it to be unlike anyone else's trip. At the end of the day, you want that Instagram picture or Facebook album to make everyone go, "Dang, I [...]
Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Punta Cana's beautiful Now Onyx Resort & Spa. Before stepping foot on the property, I had preconceived notions about what a semi-new, zen-like, family-friendly resort would be like. Admittedly, most of those expectations were tinged with negativity -- I don't know why -- but the property absolutely blew [...]
I recent had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful destination of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. While there, I got to tour various resorts, one of which was AM Resorts' Now Onyx -- one of the newest All-Inclusive resorts in the area. Even I visited over 10 different properties, I can genuinely say that Now Onyx earned a spot in [...]
We all know that social media lies, right? Even though we see intimate (edited, cropped and staged) photos of a person's life through Facebook and Instagram, that doesn't mean we know everything about them. This shouldn't be news to you. via GIPHY But, what may be news to you is that this rule also applies to [...]
A major perk of the AMResorts brand is they are almost always having a sale or promotion going on, no matter what time of year.

The beloved classic is taking the world by storm, with a record-breaking debut that grossed $875 million worldwide, AKA becoming the highest-grossing musical EVER. Having grown up on Disney movies, I personally, [...]
Honestly, there's nothing worse than being stuck in a cramped airplane seat during a long-haul flight. Not only is there no room for your legs, but your back hurts, you're irritable, the guy behind you is snoring and you better not even think about going to the bathroom. Luckily, there are a few things you [...]
When I was planning my wedding, I was so stressed all the time. There were just so many options out there and when it came to thinking about my and my fiance's honeymoon, I wanted the minimum amount of planning possible. This is why I loved our honeymoon at an All Inclusive -- it was one [...]
I don't know about you, but I'm a chronic over-packer. Like, even if I'm headed to the beach for a mere three days, I like to pack 10 bathing suits, seven "just in case" items, all 20 of my lipsticks and 13 pairs of shoes. It's ridiculous and a disease I'm trying to cure. So, [...]
A total resort experience is the sum of endless factors. Here at BlueSun Vacations, we take beach experience very seriously. We're here to tell you how to do resorting at its best. How so, you might ask? Well, Deniece Williams sang it best in the hit classic "Footloose" ----- "Let's hear it for the boyssssss!" [...]
When I return home from the beach, I like to elongate my vacation-high for as long as possible. For me, that process includes baths with bath bombs, a little bit of self tanner, music and scents -- lots and lots of scents. I don't know if you're like this, but when I get a whiff of something like eucalyptus, [...]
Let's be real here. One of the best parts of a beach vacation is the drinks. Something about being near the ocean makes us feel like we deserve significantly more libation consumption than usual. Not to mention, if it's an All Inclusive resort, the drinks seem to never stop being served. Most of your favorite resort [...]
One of my favorite things about going to an All Inclusive is the spa. I mean, just look at the one at Secrets The Vine Cancun: Everything about it -- from the smell, to the sound, to the ambiance -- takes me to a place of total relaxation that I can't seem to reach in [...]
I think it’s unanimous that returning from vacation is definitely the hardest reality to swallow. But who can't deny the sparks that ignite within you when asked, “How was your trip to Punta Cana?!” It’s been weeks since I’ve returned from my trip & a friend asked me that question the other day. The sparks were definitely [...]
It's that time of year again. Spring weather has sprung and you've gotten the itch to be outside all the time. Too bad you're most likely a real-life adult who's stuck inside all day everyday at your job. And, because of that, you keep finding yourself scrolling through Facebook, scowling at those young spring-breakers who [...]
No matter how many days I spend at the beach or how many hours I spend by the pool, I always seem to lose my tan approximately 11 seconds after arriving home. I don't know if it's because my body senses my home state's land-locked air or what, but I'm always sorely disappointed when I look in the [...]
Summer is almost here, which means it's officially beach-waves season! If you're not lounging on the ocean-front somewhere, creating those perfectly loose, beach-like curls can be a little daunting. But, with these three easy techniques, creating the ever-stylish hairdo will be oh-so simple. All you need to do is grab a straightener, a curling iron or the [...]
You know that post-vacation high you experience for like, two weeks after you get home? That's me right now. I was not only lucky enough to visit Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic recently, but while there, I had the opportunity to take a tour of five unique AM Resorts. One major distinction I made [...]
This may seem weird to some people, but I absolutely love travel days. In my mind, they either indicate something exciting (like a trip) or something comforting (like returning home). And honestly, I can't really think of anything about the process that I don't positively anticipate -- well, except for travel day clothes. For some reason, I have [...]
I don't think I've ever met a person who doesn't like (read: live for) vacations -- and for good reason. Vacations not only provide you with rest and relaxation while you're there, but they give you something to anticipate beforehand, and reminisce about afterward. It's the actual best. via GIPHY But, even though everyone loves vacations, not everyone vacations [...]
Packing for the beach is hard -- there's no getting around it. From the clothes, to the bathing suits, to the skin care, to the lip balm, there's a lot to think about and remember. And, if you're like me, you're always putting yourself last -- aka forgetting to pack those few items that would [...]
I think we can all agree that no trip to the beach is complete without a little ear candy. I mean, it's basic scientific fact that there's nothing sweeter or more magical than the mixture of good music, beach vibes and an ocean breeze -- right? Like, I have distinct memories of listening to UB40's "Red Red [...]
We all know that feeling when you’ve consumed enough food to make a food baby in your tummy. While at my All Inclusive, I truly embrace the “all” part of eating an unnecessary course at dinner, consuming yet another fruity drink that I don’t even need, or ordering room service at 2am because why not?! [...]
In my mind, celebrities set the pace for what's cool, trendy and acceptable to wear each season. Especially when summer rolls around, the socialites and famous people of Hollywood bombard social media, magazines and E! News with pictures of themselves wearing trendy bathing suits, enviable cover-ups and irresistible sunnies. So this beach season, I've decided [...]
When I'm at the beach, I like to keep my outfits, makeup and hairstyles simple. In my mind, there's no real point in spending hours on my look when I'm going to bask in the sun and swim in the ocean. You know what I mean? Usually, I stick to a simple messy bun or ponytail, [...]
I don't know about you, but vacations are the best part of my year (read: life). Like, I honestly love my every day life -- the routine, my friends, my job, my dogs, etc. -- but, if I could go on vacation every other week, I would. Not only does it bring a sense of [...]

Traveling in style can feel impossible. It can be hard to strike a happy medium between comfortable and classy. When we hear "style" we think expensive, uncomfortable, and frivolous.

Sometimes couples on a budget assume an All Inclusive is out of the question. But if you know your partner can't live without unlimited Pina Coladas on the Caribbean shore, it can be tough to settle for anything less than that. Your honeymoon is not the time to settle.

When booking your favorite Am Resort, you might hear of the mysterious "Preferred Club." Preferred Club is an upgraded room selection with added amenities and privileges.

Pushy. Manipulative. Dishonest. For most people, that's their impression of a Travel Agent. Maybe that's your experience and expectation of a Travel Agent. Also, there's that "I can find a better deal online, by myself," mindset. Sure, the internet is full of deals, and they're super easy to find when Siri does all the heavy lifting. [...]
For all you busybodies out there, this one's for you.

Jamaica is known for not worrying "bout a thing," like Bob Marley always said. It's definitely a great place to vacation and experience class-A R&R.

Smelling a memory is the weirdest and coolest thing. Let me explain: Someone brings cookies to a party and one sniff transports you back to your Grammy's kitchen, because you smelled a smell that s(c)ent you there (ha!). Smell can access memory in a way that we can't consciously choose. Maybe it's never been cookies for you, but you have shot back to Pre-K because some random lady in Walmart had the same perfume as your teacher. Smells can flood us into our past before we even realize what exactly it is we've smelled.
