Discover the Expertise of Jacqueline Gonzalez, Lifestyle Director at Continuum Miami Beach
Concierges are renowned for securing exclusive restaurant reservations and premium theater seats for hotel guests. But at a luxury apartment like Continuum, the role of a residential concierge is much more demanding. Residents expect personalized service that resembles a personal assistant—more tailored and responsive.
Meet Jacqueline Gonzalez, a seasoned professional with over 17 years in South Florida’s hospitality industry. She has earned her reputation as one of the top residential concierges in the region. Jacqueline joined the Continuum in South Beach as head concierge over ten years ago and has continually elevated her skill set.
Recently, we sat down with Jackie to learn about her exciting new venture: planning travel for residents.
From Concierge to Travel Planner
Jacqueline’s experience includes organizing a wide range of curated events—wine tastings, yacht tours, dinner parties, cultural activities, and wellness programs.
Because Miami Beach’s community is seasonal, residents started asking for recommendations beyond local entertainment. This prompted Jacqueline to expand her services—she began researching and designing custom travel excursions.

Travel Planning for Continuum Residents: An Emerging Passion
Travel planning is still in its early stages at Continuum, but it’s growing rapidly. I understand our residents’ leisure preferences and aim to create worldwide travel experiences. I often draft itineraries and share them privately or with small groups for feedback. My goal is to curate destinations and trips that appeal to 10-15 residents each year.
Most Elaborate Trip: Portugal Adventure
One of the most memorable trips I planned was a week-long journey to Porto, Portugal in fall 2023. It included visits to a luxury linen maker, Portugal’s oldest library, a porcelain producer, and the historic city of Guimarães, known as the birthplace of Portugal.
We experienced a cruise on the Douro River and dined at Michelin Star restaurants. We explored renowned wineries and stayed each night at a different “Quinta”—a historic estate turned boutique hotel, featuring castles and stunning scenery. The trip was a huge success, leaving lasting memories.
How I Plan These Trips
I’ve built strong partnerships with luxury brands globally, focusing on destinations that cater to the elite traveler. These connections give me local insights, keep me updated on trending experiences, and help create truly unique journeys.
Accompanying Residents
I often join residents on their travels to ensure everything meets the highest standards. Spending time firsthand allows me to experience the trip’s quality and ensure it aligns with their expectations. Residents are like family, and I want their vacations to be exceptional.
Upcoming Trips: A Preview
Current plans include a culinary trip to Tuscany at a 300-year-old winery, Tenuta Torciano. I’ve also found a special resort in Arizona called Miraval, known for its cutting-edge wellness treatments—a personal favorite of mine.
Other journeys on my list are Weggis, Switzerland, and the Chenot Palace, considered the world’s top health and wellness retreat.
