Hi, I'm Russ.
For the past 40 years, I've made it my mission to actually go where I send my clients. I've sailed on many cruise lines, and I've walked the beaches, tried the restaurants, and slept in the rooms at nearly every Sandals and Beaches resort in the Caribbean and Mexico. I've also spent time at plenty of other all-inclusive properties along the way, which means when you're comparing options, I usually have a good sense of what else is out there, and whether you're getting the best value for your money.
This blog is where I share stories from happy clients, what I've learned over the years: honest resort reviews, cruise comparisons, packing tips, and the kind of behind-the-scenes advice you won't find on a booking website. No fluff, no stock photos pretending to be expertise. Just what I've seen firsthand, in my own words.
Whether you're planning your first Sandals getaway or your tenth cruise, I hope these posts help you travel smarter and enjoy every minute once you get there.
P.S. I'm also including a copy of my Newsletters, starting in 2026.
