Prior to joining Inspirato, Kelly had booked a trip to Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic<\/a><\/span>, one of the largest and most comprehensive resorts in all of the Caribbean. \u201cWe had originally booked this trip through our travel agent and were going to stay in a three-bedroom villa. We joined Inspirato in December 2017 and were pleasantly surprised when we saw Villa Lozano<\/a><\/span>, a beautiful five-bedroom Inspirato home, was available for the same price,\u201d Kelly says.<\/p>\n It ended up being the perfect place for her whole group. \u201cVilla Lozano is ideal for large families (we had eight kids in our group) because all the bedrooms are on the first floor but laid out where everyone has privacy. The children especially loved the bunk room,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n \n Before arriving at Casa de Campo, Kelly worked with her on-site destination team, led by Marimar Rodriguez, to build the perfect itinerary. \u201cShe is a pleasure to work with and she helped plan a stellar itinerary for us,\u201d Kelly says. Marimar drew from her in-depth local knowledge to recommend a host of exciting activities for both kids and adults.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving five children ranging from nine months to 12 years old, there was something for everyone to do. There was not one time when the kids were bored,\u201d Kelly says. \u201cWe snorkeled and paddle boarded with the kids every day while the baby napped under the cabana.\u201d<\/p>\n The highlight of the trip? A boat ride Marimar arranged to another Inspirato favorite destination. \u201cShe told us the ride to Punta Cana<\/a> was worth it and we totally agree. The kids had the best time snorkeling, going to coconut island, and watching the sunset,\u201d Kelly says. \u201cThe staff on the boat were very nice and engaging.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, Casa de Campo\u2019s beautiful tropical scenery and abundant sunshine were made for spending days on the beach, and Marimar\u2019s thoughtful itinerary included plenty of time for doing just that.<\/p>\n \u201cThe kids spent the days running back and forth from the ocean and pool,\u201d Kelly says. \u201cThe new beach club offers a beautiful pool and spot to eat without taking your feet out of the sand and salt water for too long.\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond the beach club, Kelly and her group explored Casa de Campo\u2019s numerous culinary offerings, and found the eclectic roster of restaurants had something for every taste.<\/p>\n \u201cOur favorite restaurants for adults\u2019 night out included La Piazetta (fabulous food and ambience) and SBG (fabulous view at the point of the marina and good food),\u201d Kelly says. \u201cWhen we dined out with the children, we enjoyed Limoncello, The Beach Club, and Cafe Marietta. We had the chef come and cook dinner at the villa\u2014a must do!!\u201d<\/p>\n This being Kelly\u2019s first Inspirato trip, she wasn\u2019t sure what to expect\u2014but by the end of the vacation, she knew she was hooked. In fact, Kelly loved her time in Casa de Campo so much she has already reserved Villa Lozano again next year for an even longer trip. She says she\u2019s looking forward to visiting Catalina Island, trying different golf courses, and taking another private boat trip.<\/p>\n With hundreds of luxury vacation options in destinations around the world, Inspirato is the perfect way to experience the world, whether you\u2019re a seasoned traveler who has been everywhere or an active kid seeing it all for the first time.
