Did you know that there are over 200 all-inclusive resorts throughout Mexico?
Most of them are listed as 4- and 5-star resorts. Prices can range from $125 per person per night to over $1200 per person per night. And the term all-inclusive doesn't mean the same from one resort to the next.
So how do you choose?
You can certainly sort through the reviews trying to distinguish between real, paid, fake, & vendetta reviews. Or, you can choose to go somewhere your Instagram feed is featuring while taking into account some photos can be faked or touched up.
But wouldn’t you rather speak with someone who has been there, sent clients there or has industry connections to understand the both the destination and the resorts you’re interested in?
Better yet how about someone who can listen to your unique needs and wants and suggest the best place for your destination wedding, honeymoon or group trip to Mexico?
I LOVE MEXICO.
There is so much variety to the various cities and regions.
From Los Cabos & Mazatlan to Acapulco, from Campeche & Cancun to Cozumel & Akumal.
I KNOW MEXICO.
Let me help you discover your favorite all-inclusive getaway in Mexico!

Best Wedding Planner/Travel Agent!
Reviewed By Sam - Gaithersburg, MD | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
We cannot express how lucky we were to have stubbled upon Deirdre and her expertise! She is so warm and knowledgeable, experienced and attentive to every little detail.
From the beginning, Deirdre helped us for months by communicating and researching the most perfect hotel to fit our destination wedding needs. She spent hours emailing, calling to make sure every detail was perfect. She was so wonderful and patient walking us through the process of putting on a wedding from start to finish.
Our guests raved about working with her and planning out their travel plans. She sent detailed personalized itineraries to all of our guest. Many of my guests are now utilizing her expertise to plan other family trips and she helped us plan our honeymoon to Italy! Deirdre even made time to stop by my bridal shower to make a surprise visit which meant so much to us!

A fabulous trip planned by a true professional
Reviewed By Anne - Silver Spring, MD | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
I highly recommend Enlighten Excursions! The trip I wanted to take felt very complicated—I was traveling abroad for the first time in decades, going to multiple locations, and trying to coordinate dates with a friend from another country who would be meeting me. But Deirdre wasn’t fazed at all by these complexities and arranged an absolutely fabulous trip for me that went off without a hitch. Thanks to her efforts, I had a great time with my friend and saw a part of the world I had long dreamed of seeing. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and she is thorough and responsive at every stage of the planning. A true professional!

Great Experiences Madrid, Porto and Lisbon
Reviewed By Jackie H - San Francisco | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
It's has been quite the welcome back as I hit the ground running once I returned. l could not message you and not say thank you again. You did an amazing job planning and putting everything together for me to ensure I enjoy myself. I had an amazing time and am looking forward to returning to Madrid, Porto and Lisbon in the future. It goes without saying you really took your time thinking and sourcing great experiences to make the trip that much better for me. All three were a vibe I can't articulate. Again, thank you so much.
Also, I'll be reaching out soon I have a date for South Africa and want to start planning for my birthday.

Amazing Trip Through Scandinavia
Reviewed By Alyson - Staten Island, New Yor | Traveled to Sweden ~ Europe
Dear Deirdre,
Thanks again for putting together such an amazing trip for me and my kid in such a ridiculously short amount of time! Not only did you do all the planning, and find us wonderful accommodations and tours, but being able to email you with questions en route made traveling alone with my teen way less stressful than it would otherwise have been. I will certainly be a return client and will tell all my friends! (Plus I owe my brother some kind of gift for connecting us I think.)
Warmest regards,
Alyson Bardsley
