Single Mom Learns $95/Day Kid Club Beat Hotel Nap Room Out of Order

KEY POINTS

  • ‱The author, a single mom who works for herself, tried eight working vacations with her toddler between 8 months and 3.5 years old.
  • ‱She faced nonstop challenges including disrupted naps, cold medicine hunts in Maui, and untrustworthy kids' clubs with inconsistent schedules.
  • ‱Her breakthrough came at Club Med CancĂșn, paying $95 daily for Petit Club Med, where Via loved the structured day and nap room.

Over eight grueling 'workcations' since her kid, Via, was 8 months old, this single mom waged war against naps sabotaged by phone calls, cold-hunting missions in Maui, and kids' clubs that were more anxiety club than daycare. She shelled out $95 per day at Club Med CancĂșn's Petit Club Med, a toddlers-only paid kid prison with a guaranteed nap room, unlike advertised free clubs where 'nap room out of order' was a recurring memo. Via loved it so much she begged to return, allowing mom not only to ditch multitasking but also snorkel and swing from trapezes—a vacation where mom and toddler finally agreed on what “workcation” means.
