Clean-food family resorts to pitch
Eco-certified or eco-run resorts where kids are welcome and the kitchen cooks real food. Ranked for Tara's brief. Every email and WhatsApp number was read on the resort's own page on Sep 30, 2026. None was guessed. Only 5 resorts publish a WhatsApp number.

Seed oils: only Santa Monica Proper says in writing that its kitchens are seed-oil-free. Playa Viva says meals use "minimal oil". No other resort publishes a cooking-oil policy, so ask in the pitch.
Pitch shortcuts
J Public Relations represents Hotel del Coronado, Enchantment and Curtain Bluff. One pitch can reach three resorts.
Cohen PR (Dana Cohen) handles Arenas del Mar, Harmony Hotel and Isla Palenque.
press@mayakoba.com covers the whole Mayakoba estate (Rosewood, Fairmont, Banyan Tree).
Where a resort has a creator form, use the form first. It gets routed faster than a cold email.
What resorts will ask for
Fixed dates (Nov 15–22, with a day or two of flex).
Follower count, average reach and engagement, audience location (Canada and the US matter most).
2–3 past brand collaborations, with links.
The exact deliverables offered: reels, stories, a blog post, usage rights.
Expect a media rate or 2–3 comped nights more often than a free week for four. 4–8 weeks' notice is normal, so pitch this week.
