The dream is simple: toes in the sand, kids laughing, the kind of uninterrupted time that never seems to happen at home. But before that moment arrives, there are school calendars to coordinate, flights to juggle, rooms to book, meals to plan, and endless group texts to decipher.
Somewhere between the packing lists and the “who’s sitting where” debates, what was meant to be a memory-making getaway can start to feel like a full-time job. That’s the irony of family travel: everyone longs to reconnect, yet the logistics often keep them apart.
It’s a pattern Kerri Logan Shirk, owner of Sunlover Travel, has seen hundreds of times, and one she’s made it her mission to change. As the head of a multi-award-winning, woman-owned agency specializing in Beaches family vacations, she and her team have helped countless families trade stress for serenity. “Families want to make memories together,” she says, “but they don’t want to spend weeks planning every detail. That’s where we come in.”
From the start, Shirk built Sunlover around a simple philosophy: pair world-class service with world-class partners. That’s why the agency specializes in Beaches Resorts, the family-friendly sister brand to Sandals. Known for their impeccable standards, gourmet dining, and five-star service, Beaches properties consistently deliver the kind of quality experiences Sunlover promises every client. “There’s just no compromise with Beaches,” Shirk explains. “Everything is exceptional. It’s a level of reliability we’re proud to stand behind.”
Recognized by Sandals & Beaches Resorts, The Knot, and several Caribbean Tourist Boards, Sunlover Travel is known for crafting effortless, joy-filled vacations where every detail is handled and families can focus on what matters most: being present with one another.
Where Family Meets Paradise
There’s a special kind of magic that unfolds when everything just flows. At Beaches Resorts, that magic is easy to feel: white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and an atmosphere designed for both play and peace.
As the family-friendly counterpart to Sandals, Beaches offers the same five-star, all-inclusive experience—just reimagined for families. World-class dining that satisfies every appetite, expansive ocean-view suites, and activities for every generation: toddlers splashing at the waterpark, teens discovering scuba diving, parents savoring a rare moment of quiet at sunset.
“Beaches Turks & Caicos is one of our most popular destinations,” Shirk says. “It has a massive waterpark, 21 restaurants, snorkeling right off the beach. But for families who want something quieter, Beaches Negril in Jamaica has this relaxed, barefoot-luxury vibe. The sunsets there are unreal.”
Her words carry the kind of authority that comes only from experience. Sunlover’s advisors know each property like a second home: where to find the best jerk chicken, which suites catch the morning light, and how to connect travelers with the Beaches resort that feels like it was made for them.
The Beauty of Stress-Free Travel
Behind every “perfect” vacation photo is someone, often a mom, carrying the invisible weight of making it all happen. She’s the one tracking flight times, remembering everyone’s sunscreen, and quietly ensuring things stay on schedule. And while her family relaxes, she’s still in planning mode.
“In most families, one person becomes the default planner,” Shirk explains. “They’re incredible multitaskers, but by the time they get to the beach, they’re too tired to enjoy it.”
Sunlover’s mission is to change that dynamic. Their Beaches family travel specialists handle every detail, from flights, to dining reservations, excursions, and childcare, so parents can actually be present.
That intentionality extends to every element of Sunlover’s process. Whether it’s connecting suites for a large family, scheduling island excursions ahead of time, or planning a surprise beachfront dinner, their concierge-style coordination makes sure no one has to think about logistics once they arrive.
And perhaps most importantly, it lets everyone finally exhale. “So many parents tell us they didn’t realize how tense they were until they got there and everything was handled,” says Shirk. “That’s when they laugh, reconnect, and remember why they took the trip in the first place.”
Memories That Last a Lifetime
In a world that moves fast, family vacations have become more than just time off; they’re how we reconnect. They’re where kids see their parents laugh, where grandparents get one more memory they’ll talk about for years, where everyone slows down long enough to really see each other.
That’s what Shirk and her team design for every client: not just a trip, but a memory that endures.
“Families remember how they felt,” she says. “They remember the laughter, the ease, the warmth. Our job is to create the space for that to happen.”
Because when every detail is taken care of, something beautiful unfolds. Families rediscover what it means to simply be together. What’s left are the moments that matter most: the belly laughs, the long talks, the feeling of sand between your toes.
And in the end, it’s not just the beaches or the luxury that linger; it’s the connection. That’s the quiet magic behind every Beaches all-inclusive family vacation, thoughtfully planned by Sunlover Travel.
