POV: Floating in a circle of calm while the kids are off making piñatas. Susurros del Corazón is the ultimate combo of chic and family-friendly: Beyond the small hotel, the cliffside 3- and 4-bedroom residences are a dream for families (especially with little ones). These spacious villas come with a private yard, full-size pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, indoor chef’s kitchen, and washer/dryer — some clock in at 5,500 sq ft. The paid Kids Club is a standout, with thoughtfully designed, fully staffed programming (think: piñata-making sessions with teachers and included lunch). Even better, it’s complimentary in the off-season. Curious if Susurros is the right fit for your crew? Let’s chat — I’ll match you with the best villa, the best perks, and the easiest booking experience. #SusurrosDelCorazon #AubergeResorts #LuxuryFamilyTravel #TravelWithMerritt #JetSetKids #WhereToStayNext
