Nashville's Family Vacation Expert
Planning a family vacation is exciting — until it isn't. Between finding the right resort, coordinating flights, researching kid-friendly excursions, and making sure everyone is happy, it can quickly become a second job.
I'm Erika Griffin, founder of Espoke Travel. I help Nashville families plan vacations that actually work — for the toddlers, the tweens, the grandparents, and the parents who just want to exhale. From Caribbean all-inclusives to Costa Rica family adventures, I handle every detail so you don't have to.
Vacations Designed by Real Families
- Age-appropriate resort selection — knowing which resorts genuinely cater to kids versus which just tolerate them
- Completely managed logistics — flights, transfers, resort check-in, dining reservations, and kid-friendly excursion bookings
- Private airport transfers arranged in advance so your family isn't scrambling after a long flight
- Dining options that work for the whole table — picky eaters, allergies, and adults who want real food too
- Connecting rooms and family suites secured ahead of time, not left to chance at check-in
- A handwritten welcome-home note in your mailbox when you return — because the experience doesn't end at the airport
Serving Nashville & All of Tennessee
Based in the Nashville area, Erika works with families across Middle Tennessee — Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Gallatin, and beyond.
Key Nashville Family Vacation Destinations from Nashville
Nashville International Airport (BNA) connects families to some of the best kid-friendly beach destinations in the world. These are the destinations my Nashville family clients love most — and that I know from personal visits and hands-on experience.
Beaches Resorts — Jamaica & Turks & Caicos
The gold standard for family all-inclusives. Beaches Resorts offer water parks, kids' clubs for every age, and Sesame Street characters — plus luxury amenities for parents. Flights from BNA are convenient and frequent.
Atlantis — Nassau, Bahamas
A legendary family resort experience with massive water slides, a marine habitat, and world-class dining. Short flight from Nashville makes it an easy choice for families short on travel time.
Cancún & Riviera Maya
Family-friendly mega-resorts with lazy rivers, splash pads, kids' dining options, and proximity to Mayan ruins and cenotes for older kids and adventurous families.
Costa Rica
Wildlife, zip-lining, jungle tours, and hot springs — Costa Rica is built for curious families. Perfect for older kids and teens who want more than a beach.
Dominican Republic
Some of the best-value family all-inclusives in the Caribbean. Punta Cana resorts are consistently excellent for first-time family travelers flying out of Nashville.
Club Med — Multiple Destinations
An all-inclusive brand designed from the ground up for families — with dedicated kids' programming, circus arts, water sports, and spacious family rooms at multiple Caribbean locations.
Why Nashville Families Choose Espoke Travel
There are hundreds of resorts marketed as "family-friendly." Most of them are fine. A few of them are genuinely exceptional. And some — despite the glossy photos and five-star reviews — are completely wrong for your family's specific age range, travel style, or expectations.
I've been to these resorts. I know the difference between a kids' club that's actually engaging and one that's a glorified babysitting service. I know which resorts have the right shallow pool area for toddlers, which ones have teen programming worth paying for, and which all-inclusives are genuinely worth the investment for a family of four or more.
