Join us for the 2024 Advisor Escape in Puerto Vallarta!

ADVISOR ESCAPE
HILTON VALLARTA RIVIERA — PUERTO VALLARTA
APRIL 10-15, 2024

The only thing better than warm sand, lapping waves and gently waving palms? Enjoying them with friends! When you earn the 2024 Advisor Escape, you'll get to experience the natural, exuberant beauty of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — all while connecting with other incredible Advisors!

There is no better place to celebrate your hard work and revel in well-earned relaxation time than Puerto Vallarta. Set on Banderas Bay, one of the largest, most stunning natural bays in the world, and nestled below the lush Sierra Madre mountains, it's a tropical paradise that offers something for everyone. Whether you love beaches, pools, adventures, water sports, sightseeing or shopping, you'll find the best of the best in Puerto Vallarta.

Its rich history, architecture, traditions and gastronomy will charm you, though they can't compete with the warmth of the people, which is so notable that Travel + Leisure named Puerto Vallarta one of the “Friendliest Cities in the World.” Puerto Vallarta's almost-perfect weather, postcard-worthy vistas and mellow vibe will combine to offer an escape you’ll never forget.

The Top 3 Advisors who earn either the Sun-Sational or Sun-Sational Mentor status and achieve the most points overall will be upgraded to a Master Suite.

Note: Airfare and transportation are not included; you may choose to use your cash stipend to cover those or other expenses.

If you earn the Sun Chaser status, you may bring a guest. However, if you do, you will be responsible for all additional guest charges, including, but not limited to, room charges and all-inclusive package charges above what would have been covered if the Advisor were in the private room alone.

If you earn the Sun-Sational or Sun-Sational Mentor status and choose to bring a guest, the room charges and all-inclusive resort charges will be covered by CM.

FAQs

Will Escape achievers be able to extend before or after their “official” dates of the Escape? Yes! We have negotiated a group rate with the Hilton Vallarta Riviera that achievers can take advantage of up to 3 days before and/or up to 3 days after. After final achievers are announced, we will provide all achievers a link so they can make those reservations directly with the Hilton.
Both Sun Chasers and Sun-Sational offer the option to have a guest — can they bring anyone they would like? Yes, there are no restrictions as to the type of guest an Advisor can bring (e.g., spouse, friend, sibling, parent, child, etc.). We will ask final achievers to provide their guest information on or before Friday, Jan. 26, 2024.
Will I need a passport? Yes, everyone traveling to Mexico will need a valid passport; your airline will ask you for your passport information before allowing you to check in. If you have a current passport you will want to ensure its expiration date is well into the future; Mexican immigration recommends that incoming visitors, regardless of country of origin, hold passports that are valid for a minimum period of six months.

If you do not have a passport, here are the links by country to get started. Passport offices have been issuing warnings about long delays in processing, so you’ll have more peace of mind the earlier you apply.
