Family Travel Planning, Done Differently
For parents who believe that traveling with kids is still real travel
We offer flexible services to meet you wherever you are in your family travel journey. Whether you need help designing a trip to satisfy parents and kids, choosing the right boutique family hotel, or finding special kid-focused tours to bring your trip to life, we’re here to lighten the load.
You’ve got a family travel planner in your corner, ready to jump in when (and how) you need it.
This is where your trip takes shape—and where we really shine. We help you pick the right destination (Bordeaux or Burgundy? Bahamas or Bonaire?), map out a smart route and timeline, and propose boutique family hotels that elevate the whole experience.
We’re pulling from hundreds of research hours, firsthand scouting trips, and a top notch network—so you don’t have to rely on guesswork to find the right fit.
Once the blueprint is set, add daily activity planning to take dozens of hours of more work off your plate.
We’ll always book your hotel at no additional cost. Our partnerships mean perks like breakfast, resort credits, and room upgrades. We’ve also been known to throw in activity and dining guides.
Available as an add-on to your Trip Blueprint or as a stand-alone service.
If you know where you want to go, but want to tap into our family hotel expertise, we’ll provide a hand-picked list of hotel recommendations based on your family’s needs, budget, and travel style. No more hours of Google overwhelm.
Get a personalized day-by-day plan with vetted activities, local excursions, and family-friendly food options. The structure you need to make travel feel easy with kids, but with room for spontaneity.
Available as an add-on to your Trip Blueprint or as a stand-alone service.
This is our most comprehensive trip planning service, with every detail covered. This is for the mom that wants to truly outsource and dreams of an elevated family travel experience.
We handle everything (with your input of course)—from choosing and booking accommodations to coordinating transportation and curating exceptional activities. Concierge services like restaurant and spa reservations are included, and special requests welcomed.
Our full-service trips focus on 4- and 5-star accomodations and experiences, and an investment of $12,000+ for a family of 4 for hotels, transportation, and experiences.
We work with a wide range of price points at Mango Tree; overall trip costs will depend a lot on your chosen destination and hotel room categories. We encourage parents to invest in the portions of the trip that will lead to the most meaningful and stress-free experience, which also varies for every traveler.
Our speciality is helping parents find special boutique hotels with a sense of place, which range from small family owned places to immersive luxury hotels, and those do come with an investment. These types of hotels (almost) never cost less than $750 per night for rooms that can accomodate families, especially prime travel family weeks. Rates go up from there, with transfers and tours at an additional cost.
We’re happy to talk through on our discovery call which service will work best based on your travel goals.
For Caribbean trips and “Just the Core” planning, you’ll have flexibility over all trip costs since we book only your hotels — booking through us is just like booking direct but with an added layer of support. Cancellation and payment policies vary just as they do when you book your hotels yourself.
For Full Custom Trip proposals (The Whole Mango!) you will receive a single price for all hotel, transportation, and touring components. Our on-the-ground partners have exclusive arrangements that allow them to bundle services in this way to get you the best value, but that means we can’t always see individual breakdowns. Our partners require a deposit to secure the trip, with the balance due 30-90 days before departures.
Yes! The type of support depends on the type of trip. Mango Tree is a small business not set up to offer 24/7 support directly but our partners absolutely are.
When you go with Full Custom Trip Planning for Central America and Europe, you don’t just get an itinerary, you get access to our trusted in-country partners—and they’ll be in the same time zone! Whether it’s last-minute changes or unexpected issues, they’re there to make sure your family trip runs smoothly.
For Caribbean trips and “Just the Core” planning, your hotel concierge teams will be your in-country contacts, though we of course can be part of your support team if emergencies arise.
Yes. Regardless of the trip planning service you choose, we find it’s easiest for families to secure dining reservations, spa appointments, and on-your-own sightseeing activities directly online or through the hotel concierge teams. This maximizes flexibility, and reduces the need for millions of emails authorizing us to book one-off items (we all hate those “you have 3 minutes to send me the code your bank just sent you” messages, am I right?). If the thought of makig a single reservation makes you cringe, we can handle concierge services for an additional daily fee.
Because it makes your life easier.
When you book through Mango Tree Travel, you’re not just getting a reservation—we add value by ensuring you’re getting VIP treatment where possible, plus curated activity and dining guides to cut hours off your planning time. You’ll have a trusted partner in your corner to encourage you each step of the way to make it the best trip for your whole family.
You also support our business when you book through us, as a portion of our revenue comes from hotel commissions (at no additional cost to you). That keeps Mango Tree’s honest recommendations and thoughtful content going strong. It’s a win-win for everyone. But especially you.
