KIND WORDS FROM PAST CLIENTS
Trips that felt as good as they looked
"Samantha made our trip for 4 adults and 6 teens memorable. She was thoughtful about the options she presented and was willing to pivot with additional ideas when we changed our minds. The resort was very clean with excellent service and manage to keep the teens entertained! We loved our trip."
-Lisa, La Romana
"It has been a blessing working with Sam for our summer travel. I have an active 6-year-old and also wanted a trip for myself. With Sam’s help, we found the Pasea Hotel and Spa in Huntington Beach, California and it was perfect!! She helped us secure a $100 resort credit and daily breakfast credit. The resort had a pool with a beach right across the street and it’s in relatively close proximity to LAX, Irvine, Legoland, Disney and Universal. The hotel is also right next to a beautiful outdoor shopping and restaurant area that was fun to explore. Sam took the time to ensure I had everything I needed when booking the trip and leading up to the trip. I can honestly say that if I had not worked with her our summer travels would not have been as enjoyable. I’m truly grateful for Sam and will definitely continue to work with her for our travels needs!"
-Jennifer, California
"My family of five, and our friend’s family of five, wanted an all-inclusive experience that had suites large enough to accommodate us. The resort Sam found was amazing and our accommodations were perfect for us. Each family of five had a suite with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a living space. The resort felt very safe and our six teens (13-18) were able to explore, swim, and go to restaurants on their own. The resort was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. We did a snorkeling excursion one day, which was a lot of fun. The pools were great and the beach area had lots of seating with umbrellas and beautiful Caribbean water. Samantha was incredibly helpful in finding us the perfect travel destination! We were pretty specific with what we were hoping to find and she gave us lots of different location options to consider. Once we narrowed that down, she found us a resort that would work perfectly for our larger families. She was with us every step of the way and provided everything we needed for safe and efficient travels. I would definitely recommend Samantha!"
-Samantha, La Romana
"Our family of four had the trip of a lifetime in Disney. Big thank you to Samantha who helped us plan a trip that had something for all of us. From logging, to transportation (even strollers), to the parks…She had us covered!"
-Tony, Walt Disney World
