A fully paid beach getaway, courtesy of your most generous sibling, practically sparkles in everyone’s Not Gonna Happen drawer. A two-day escape with every meal covered, laughter flowing as freely as the drinks, and promises of zero family disputes ruining the forecast. 

The setting: sun, sand, and a luxury resort you didn’t even have to book. Spirits are high, bellies are full, and everyone’s inner child is running wild—you wouldn’t be wrong to double-check that you hadn’t wandered onto the set of a vacation commercial.

Of course, if life has taught us anything, it’s that when something sounds this magical, you should probably keep one eye on your suitcase and the other on the exit. Because, coming in hot is this family’s special brand of bait-and-switch: what begins as a fairytale «treat» quickly collapses the moment a little sibling rivalry bubbles up over borrowed swimwear. Suddenly, your generous host trades her crown for Houdini’s cape, making a getaway with her entourage and leaving her dream itinerary and the tab behind.
