The Flip Flop Fam kids and dad at a beachside palapa in Mexico

Most booked

Mexico

Our home away from home. Direct flights, great value, and far more to it than the resort strip.

  • Cancun & Riviera Maya

    The all-inclusive heartland. Best for first big trips and family-of-6 suites.

  • Puerto Vallarta

    Old-town charm and real food, without the mega-resort price tag.

I lived here

Panama

I spent a year here at eighteen, so this one is personal. Beaches, a real city, and jungle within reach of all of it.

Panama is my soft spot for families who want a little adventure with their beach time. Fewer crowds, lower prices, and an easy mix of city, coast and rainforest. If you want something past the all-inclusive bubble, start here.
