Customer Feedback & Testimonials About Mexico and Our Mexico Travel Advisors
Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Mexico Specialist: Los Cabos
Paul we could not have been more pleased. All the reviews we saw discouraging people my age and Cindy's age to stay at the ME are bogus and the other negative reviews referencing the noise coming from Passion Night Club for guest who are staying on the lower floors is bogus as well. We fit right in to the younger crowd without feeling the least concern of our age. We saw others our age anyway. As for the noise, we slept without hearing a sound and we were on the 2nd floor. The music around the pool was enjoyable during the day. When I checked in the hotel I pushed for an upgrade as you and I discussed but they wanted an arm and leg to upgrade so I decided I would take the room we originally were getting but when we got to our room I found a picturesque view over looking the pool and ocean. I told Cindy I was glad we didn't take them up on the upgrade.
We walked approximately 4 miles most mornings as exercise. Each walk we took a different route through the town and marina getting to know what was there.
We did find the food to be very pricey in most restaurants around the marina and hotel but as we got into the later part of the week we had discovered local restaurants where pricing is more reasonable without sacrificing the quality of food.
We left Cabo feeling like we got our moneys worth and best of all we know there is more to Cabo than what we got to experience so it makes it easy for us to plan our next vacation 2010 in Cabo. Cindy and I appreciate what you did in helping us choose this vacation. We can't thank you enough. Next year we will be trying to get the family to take in Cabo with us which could be as high as 20 people. We will be in touch. Thanks again, Private Name
Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Cancun
Lidia, sorry for the delay in responding to you. I work in the agricultural field and have been working 12-14 hour days since we returned. Has finally rained to slow us up. Trip was great, weather was beautiful. The hotel was as nice as you mentioned it would be. Staff was very courtious and cordial. The only thing that they were not sure about was the bath robes that were to be provided. Never could get an answer from them.
All in all we had a fabulous time and plan on returning in the future. Maybe as a 1 year anniversary ? Much thanks to you and your company. Tim Cerretti
Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Mexico, Exotic Destinations Specialist: Mayan Riviera, Ceiba Del Mar
Dear Sharon:
Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been buried up to my eyeballs since we got back.
Anyway, the trip to Cieba Del Mar in Mexico was absolutely fantastic. We had a wonderful time.
Resort was perfect, food was exquisite and my wife and I couldn't have been happier.
Thank you for a fabulous vacation!!!!!

Testimonial about Mike St. Jovite, Mexico, Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico Specialist: Mayan Riviera, Maroma Resort
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your email and assistance with booking our trip. Secrets Maroma was beautiful and we enjoyed our vacation very much. We were also impressed with the travel book and documents with the duplicate itinerary information for family. Everything was very detailed, organized and nicely presented.
As far as the anxiety related to the violence in Mexico, I must say we felt entirely safe throughout the entire trip. We spent a late afternoon in Playa del Carmen as well and traveled there by taxi.
Overall, it was a great choice and we will consider going back. Thanks again for your assistance!
Best Regards,
Cindy Boerman

Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Puerto Vallarta, Dreams Resort
Hi Lidia
it was great. Dreams Puerto Vallarta was nice. The area was beautiful. The beach was nice, rooms, pool etc. The resort was small but perfect for a long weekend. Didn't get connecting rooms but rooms right next to each other so that wasn't a big deal. Thanks for your help. Susan
Testimonial about Ted Tedula, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Cancun
Hey Ted,
This is Derek and Tawni Groneman. We just wanted to thank you for helping us set up our honeymoon to the Excellence Riviera in Cancun. It was Awesome!! The best week either of us ever had! Everything went well and there were no hang ups in airports or with shuttles or with the hotel. We were able to do and see everything we wanted to. We had the best most relaxing week of our lives.
Thanks again,
Derek and Tawni Groneman
Testimonial about Sharon Walters, Mexico, Exotic Destinations Specialist: Cabo, One & Only Palmilla

Thank you again for your generosity. We loved it! Carol,
Testimonials about Lidia Fiandeiro, Hawaii, Caribbean, Tahiti Specialist: Riviera Maya
Hi Lidia
Fun trip. The boys wanted to swim in the ocean and the pool and that is what they did! We have lots to share.
Food was wonderful especially out in the pool/ocean restaurant where it was more Spanish food. We loved it out there. Hardly any people. Everyone stopped at the main place and didn't venture out there for dinner. Hundreds vs.maybe 30 people! We went to 3 other reservation restaurants and they were great!
The resort was too big for us. Not enough pool space for the amount of people. We could have gone to other pools but no ocean access. Sandos Playacar was long and narrow so not a lot of ocean access. Very clean property and kind people. They need more carts for moving around the resort.
We had a great time with our kids and played all day with them. We have fun memories!
Fondly,
Summer
Feedback & Testimonial about Jenni Malone, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Riviera Maya
Jenni,
It was really a great trip. We had lots of fun. The hotel was nice, the beach was great, and the food was good. We did a couple of extra outings while there. We went scuba diving one day and then a day long excursion to Coba (ruins, zip line, rappelling, kayaking, Mayan village tour) and had a blast on these outings. I wish we would have had one or two more days to enjoy the beach a little more. Thanks for your recommendation. I will call you again when we are ready to book our next vacation.

Feedback & Testimonial about Lidia Fiendero, Mexico, Hawaii, Cruise Specialist: Riviera Maya, Secrets Maroma Resort
Hi Lidia,
We had a great time. The Secrets Maroma resort, staff, food, accomodations, etc. were all wonderful! And we got quite the treatment, since you had booked us as an anniversary package in order to get the spa coupon (they upgraded our room, hung an anniversary sign on our door, left us chilled champagne and a champagne breakfast in bed - it was actually very funny, but great).
Few little glitchy things based likely on newness, but i would totally recommend it to others.
In any event, thanks for all your help. It was a great trip.

Feedback & Testimonial about Linda Barber, Mexico, Hawaii, Cruise Specialist: Zihuatanejo
Zihuatanejo itself was interesting. A small fishing village with periodic bouts of tourists. Palm trees, green hills, steep rocky shorelines. Small shops line the streets, many shops appeared to have the same items, cotton shirts, sombreros, the ubiquitos jewellery shops...I did buy a mexican fire opal pendant (in Acapulco)....restaurants, pay for banos, what I liked was that the locals outnumbered the tourists on the beaches...apparently it is custom for families to hit the beaches on Boxing day, I didn't see any litter on the streets, no spray paint graffitti, the sidewalks were uneven and some storefronts seemed to have made their own patterned sidewalk so one had to watch where you were stepping.
One of our tour guides was explaining that the school children all wear uniforms and if they talk bad to the teacher they are sent home, three times and you have to repeat your grade...this makes for respectful children and you can see it on the streets in the lack of grafitti and litter. The vendors of course had to come visit while we were having a cold cervesa but I did not find them overly aggressive nor rude. I did notice that the quality of the mexican cotton clothing did seem to be less and there seemed to be more factory made items than a few years ago....too bad.
Feedback & Testimonial about Ted Tedula, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Cancun
Hi Ted,
We just returned and had an amazing time. Thanks for all your help. Both hotels were wonderful...each in their own way...and all the transfers went smoothly.
We want to thank you for being so efficient and on top of of things when you were booking our trip, from beginning to end. We will definitely be recommending
you to our family and friends.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

Feedback & Testimonial about Jenni Malone, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Cancun
Dear Jenni, Thank you so much for everything you did to make our trip amazing! We had such a wonderful time and the four of us plan on making it an annual event. I had several of my friends ask who I went through to arrange the trip so I am going to share your email if that is okay. That resort was fantastic in every way (good food that changed nightly for the buffets, entertainment by the pool and shows at night, as well as nice staff that was really helpful). If you ever need any comments on the resort for any potential clients, we can help. This report is highly recommendable! Thank you for everything! Lanna
Testimonial about Lidia Fiandeiro, Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Specialist: Puerto Vallarta
Hi Lidia,
The Hotel Villa Premier in Puerto Vallarta was a great get away- great location for people who want to be near town and nice to not have kids around since we didn't bring ours....highly recommend it!
Thanks for all your help,

Testimonial about Lidia Fiandeiro, Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Specialist: Cabo San Lucas
Hi Lidia,
I meant to send you an email yesterday, after we returned, but the first day back at work was ridiculously hectic.
The vacation was great - no hitches. The Desire Resort was beautiful, and very relaxing. Staff, grounds, room, and food was A+. Flight was non-eventful, as we like them.
There turned out to be no exit tax at the airport, so that was good as well.
Thanks for following up and for taking care of the travel arrangements. We sincerely appreciate it.

Testimonial about Gretchen Macknight, Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica Destinations Specialist: Riviera Maya, Excellence Maya
Gretchen,
Our trip was amazing! We had a spot of bad weather, but everything about the resort was as perfect as we could have ever hoped. We have some pictures of the resort and our room if you are interested (and I haven't forgotten the wedding pictures either). The service and the room were beyond what I could have imagined, and the first class flight lived up to the hype. We really appreciate all that you did for us; you're the best!
Regards,
David Herring

Thanks again, Martin

It was definitely an experience to remember and we plan on going back sometime. We'll definitely call you the next time we want to travel!
Thanks again!

Testimonial about Jenni Malone, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Cancun
Good morning Jenni,
We wish we were still there!!! It was absolutely the most relaxing and best trip we have ever taken. Before this time, the Jamaica Inn trip you sent us on previously was our favorite, with Jamaica Inn having a certain rustic kind of charm and excellent service! However, the Excellence was very modern and fabulous in every way. The spa was elegant and very reasonably priced with an outdoor hydrotherapy area beyond any spa we have seen. The food was just fabulous in every single restaurant...we didn't have a bad bite all week! Our rooftop terrace was huge, and there were outdoor lounge beds on both our main level and rooftop terraces. We laughed at the fact that we had a one-bedroom four-bed suite! There was no waiting for any activities or dining, everything was close enough together that we weren't walking all the time as we have at some larger resorts but still spread out enough to be private. One of our favorite features (although we hardly left our own rooftop) was the private pools for the Excellence Club rooms. There were two large private pools, and at any one time there were only 2-3 couples around each of these pools. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time) I think we will save the money of not booking a rooftop terrace and book the rooms close by these private pools. We are already looking for an excuse to go back, so keep your eyes open for a special deal. We would likely return in either April or May. I noticed they have another resort in the Cancun area too, as well as one in the Dominican Republic. By the way, best of all, they didn't try to sell us anything while we were there! The resort was totally full of anniversary and honeymoon couples, and it is easy to see why. Dewey and I had more quality time together last week than probably in the last year combined. I thank you so much for recommending just the right place for us, and look forward to booking again very soon!
Have a good week!

Testimonial about Ted Tedula, Mexico, Hawaii Specialist: Mexico, Zihuataneo
I was going to write you today to say THANK YOU! La Casa Que Canta was absolutely perfect and exactly what we had envisioned and hoped for. Our travel was completely uneventful with all flights on time, transfers and check in flawless. Our room was so comfortable and the service was beyond all expectations. We would go back every year. Also, to make it even nicer, there were only 4 other couples in total at the hotel since it was still "low season". We had the pool completely to ourselves and felt like the whole hotel was our private place. We met lovely locals and even took us around for the day. He took us to his friend's house who had just caught a couple pounds of shrimp and we took the shrimp to a local beach restaurant who cooked them up for us. They were delicious with ice cold beers on a hot day.
We are sorry to be home! Thank you for everything you did for us. Your personal service was impeccable and I hope you use us as a future reference. Thanks again. Private name.

HI LIDIA,
The ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN was good and it was a pleasant vacations. The only drawback was a change in flight in Mexico City because our return flight was canceled.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND YOUR SERVICES.

Testimonial about Kevin Church, Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii, Specialist: Cabo San Lucas
Kevin - Thanks for following up. Everything was great. We had a problem with the air conditioning in the room but the resort moved us to equal room. For the inconvenience, they gave us spa certificates and a free excursion. Overall we are very pleased. I am going to keep your name in my address book and contact you for our next vacation. I want to thank you for all of your help with this. I look forward with doing business with you in the near future. Thanks Joe

Dear Patricia, Where should I start... Thank you so much for the basket of goodies and the sparkling wine. You have to tell all your clients about this ship. It was out of this world.

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Rivera Maya,
Patricia~ We really did enjoy our vacation to the El Cid Riviera Maya/Puerto Morelos. Best Day Travel was a great help in choosing what we could do down there. Granted, you have to expect to pay money right ? :) The three restaurant deal was great. The all-inclusive was also great for us to be able to eat/drink whatever whenever even without alcohol. Were there any specific things you wanted us to answer to or give feedback for? ~Brock

Testimonial about Kevin Church, Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii, Specialist: Cabo San Lucas
Hi Kevin!
It was a GREAT trip! Thank you so much for a flawless vacation! The flights all ran on time and smooth as did the transportation to and from the airport in Cabo. I look forward to Cabo improving their airport as it looked like they are in the process of doing. The Hilton was a gorgeous property with wonderful service and a very friendly staff. It made our 14th Anniversary one that we will never forget. Keith was telling the hotel staff we would see them again soon and so I asked if it would be our 20th when we return and he made it quite clear he would not be able to wait that long! So I suppose I better start saving right away. Ha! I look forward to calling upon you again very soon and thank you again for Everything!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lidia,
The trip was FABULOUS. The resort was absolutely beautiful, the service was impeccable and the food was the best I have had on any vacation anywhere I have been. This was very romantic resort. The transportation accommodations where almost as good as a private limo and we had no complaints of any kind.
Karrie and I enjoyed it so much we joined Karrisma’s Exotic Travel Club and will definitely be going back.
Thank you so much for recommending it and making our arrangements. I will definitely use your service again and will recommend you to people I know.

Testimonials about Ted Tudula, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico Specialist: Cancun
Ted,
We had a great time. I must hand it to you on the "all inclusive" package. That was ideal.
Ate any time of the day. Anything from fried eggs to rib eye steaks. They had two buffet
locations. Neither was very busy over the entire week. We drank our fair share of strawberry
daquerries.... The Transfer company were very nice to work with also.
Over all, you took very good car of us. I would recommend the Oasis as a great place to stay.
We'll send you a picture sometime and will certainly consider working with you and Travelwizard
again in the future.

Testimonials about Paul Breen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Puerto Vallarta
Dear Paul
Thank you - The resort was fabulous!! I miss two words that we heard 100 times per day and that was " My Pleasure." I asked Doug if he would continue to say that to me, be my cabana boy and make me anything I want to drink and eat, but he's not going for it. I'm constantly reminding Jessica that we are back to reality after she looks at me like I'm insane for asking her to make her bed.
Okay - where are we going next? I am loving the all inclusive resorts!! I was thinking Turks and Punta Cana. Let me get my house and family back in order, come back to earth and then we will plan a vacation for Spring Break next April.
Thanks again for everything. C.
Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Rivera Maya,
Hi Patricia! Thanks for your note. We had a fabulous vacation! What a wonderful trip. Dreams Punta Cana is very nice. We were happy with the many restaurant choices, the very nice pool, beautiful, clean beach, and friendly staff. Our room was nice too - a fine size for us. There was mildew on the lamp shades, but the humidity is so high I'm sure that's why. Some of the doors (bathroom, closet, etc.) were dirty. All they needed was to be wiped down because there were visible spots. But housekeeping did an excellent job with everything else. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dreams and will definitely recommend it. The tours was also excellent. Always on time, very friendly, and they had a rep. at our hotel, which was very convenient. The hotel is over an hour away from the airport, and the roads there are terrible. We had a fabulous time and very much enjoyed escaping to this area of the world! Thank you so very much for arranging it for us and for all of your help. Our vacations would not go as smoothly, if it weren't for your help! Thank you! Elizabeth Pruitt

Testimonial about Melanie, Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Specialist: Mayan Riviera
Dear Melanie,
I am very late in sending you a heartfelt "THANK YOU" for putting together the most wonderful vacation we have ever had in our whole life. David and I were in Paradise! It was our 1st real vacation away together(in the 25 years we've been married) and you couldn't have picked a better place for us. I get all choked up just thinking about it. The day we said 'good bye' to Margarita, our concierge, I cried! She was such a lovely person. I know it was her job to take care of us, but she was so kind and thoughtful. We really felt special. Many memories were made and even new friends that we have been keeping in contact with. So, please enjoy the photos I put together in the attached video. If I could, I'd give you a BIG HUG! You made one of our dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Testimonials about Jenni Malone, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Mayan Riviera, El Dorado Royal
Hi Jenni,
Stan & I had a wonderful vacation. Our flights were good both ways and the resort was more than we expected and the weather was perfect everyday we were there. The staff is very friendly and willing to help in anyway possible. Food and beverages were more than we could consume. Our accommodations were perfect. We would definitely recommend the place to others as well as return ourselves. What we enjoyed the most was the quietness and privacy of the premises (no kids) and the other guests were enjoying themselves as much as we were.
We enjoyed working with you and you were extremely helpful in finding us the perfect vacation.

Testimonial about Melanie Valuck, Mexico, Hawaii, Specialist: Mayan Riviera
Dear Melanie,
Words cannot describe how wonderful our vacation was! You can ask my husband, I cried (happy tears) more than once. The Royal Hideaway was a dream vacation. Muy bien! The people were unbelievably friendly, helpful, kind, and beautiful. I cried when I had to say goodbye to our Concierge, Margarita! I will send pictures as soon as I get life back in order here. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bet you love your job! I think I would love to do what you do.
Again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Testimonial about Lidia Fiandeiro, Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Specialist: Mayan Riviera
Dear Lidia,
We liked the Iberostar Quetzal a lot. The Star Friends (activity people) were great to have around, especially for the kids. The resort was nice and the staff was great. There are a lot of hard working people that work there; they are very friendly and do a great job.
The food was okay, but there wasn’t anything spectacular about it.
We would stay at another Iberostar resort, but we probably won’t go back to Mexico until we try a few other places.
Thanks for your help.

Testimonial about Paul Breen, Mexico, Caribbean, Hawaii, Specialist: Cancun
Thanks for booking us in such a beautiful place the trip was wonderful, only one thing we didnt know and that was that the resort had a dress code for dinner but it worked out and we bought some. Other than that we had such a great time and I will be contacting you this summer for another trip to Disneyland in Florida with our son.
Thanks so much

Testimonial about Melanie Valuck, Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Specialist: Ixtapa
WOW! I don't know what else to say? Perfect, peaceful, relaxing, beautiful.... It was the best trip!
A great family place with all the luxury of a great resort. It was empty! We were there with like maybe 100 other families. The beaches, pools, restaurants were wide open. There was a fabulous expectation of children and accommodations for kids of all ages. The baby and mini club were great. High chairs and ramps for strollers everywhere. Entertainment all day and night and staff that were so friendly and accommodating. The resort is spanking new and shiny. We never left the property and still there were things we didn't do. My in-laws and my mother also thought it was great and had a wonderful vacation. All week long I got all the praise and credit for picking such a great place...so I'm passing those along to you too!
We all can't wait to go back and several other family members are interested to go with us... we'll see what happens.
Just so enjoyable. Thank you!!

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist: Rivera Maya
Patricia, I'm sorry I didn't get back to you. Yes we did go and had a great time. The resort is excellent...very nice room and the service was wonderful. We took an all day tour to see the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza. That is an amazing place. So thank you once again for selecting a perfect vacation destination. Could you do me a favor? I need to get a photo release form from the El Dorado Royale so that I can have two photographs made into wallet size. The photos were taken by the El Dorado Royale, hence the need for the release form. I tried emailing the resort but the address I used was returned undelivered. Could you either contact the resort or email me an email address for the Royale? Thanks again from Kim and me for a wonderful week on the Riviera Maya.

Testimonial about Gretchen Macknight, Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica Destinations Specialist: Riviera Maya--El Dorado Maroma Resort
Hi Gretchen
Well.... we had a wonderful holiday!! I'm not sure how happy we are to be back, especially since we arrived back to a Canadian snowstorm but apparently summer is thinking about starting so hopefully we'll be able to show off our tans soon!
Thank you so much for your help and advice during the planning stages! It really made it painless. The El Dorado Maroma was wonderful - quiet, relaxing, great service and yummy food! We stayed in a Hotelito which was lovely - quite small and compact but perfectly big enough for the two of us. We thought about upgrading to one of the Jacuzzi suites but decided not to, but we did see one. They are much bigger and more airy. They're quite modern and therefore a bit cold but nicely decorated.
They are still trying out terrace curtain treatments so the place will look a lot better in a few months. There was also a bit of hammering and building noise but it really wasn't enough to disturb. The one thing the hotel is absolutely lacking is a nice evening beachside bar. There is nowhere to have a sundowner except one of the pool bars which is sunken into the ground and you have to kind of sit on the floor..no ideal. I think they're making a lounge bar / pizza place but they need to put something on the beach. The hotel bar was inside, freezing cold and played loud 80's music so wasn't really a popular choice.
The diving was great - not stunning - but great, and I got my PADI which was fantastic. The watersports are at the Maroma Marina next to the hotel and are therefore ideally located but unfortunately they are all packaged up, so for example you can do jet skiing but have to go on an awful tourist boat for an hour of snorkeling with 50 other people.. They totally refused to do just one activity which was a bit frustrating. In the end we just did the diving for a few days.
I did feed my comments into the hotel, as I know other guests did too.
All in all a great time was had by all! Definitely on to recommend particularly as it was such good value.
Thank you again. We'll definitely come back to you if we can squeeze in another holiday!
Take care.

Testimonial about Lidia Fiandeiro, Mexico, Tahiti, Hawaii, Specialist: Riviera Maya
Hi Lidia,
thanks for checking! It has just been a long week after getting home.....Jeff had to have surgery on his arm yesterday for a torn bicep tendon. He was swinging on a rope at XelHa and tore the tendon! It didn't ruin our vacation, though. We appreciate all you did for us, as everything you planned went off without a hitch. You did your job perfectly!
We really did enjoy the area and our stay at the Grand Coco Bay was satisfactory. Our kids loved it there, as there was always something to do. It was a very convenient location to downtown and the beach there was fabulous.
So, overall, we did enjoy our vacation. Thank you for your help!

Testimonial about Melanie Valuck, Mexico, Hawaii, Belize, Costa Rica, Caribbean Specialist: Puerto Vallarta

We had a fabulous time! The resort was perfect, plenty to do for all of us including simply relaxing. The trip from the airport was fast, unless of course you fell for the "time share" adventure which I must admit we did! Being in the building/development industry it was interesting for my husband however, not something we would do again! The funny thing was with all of the free give-aways promised, we took nothing as my husband and I did not feel comfortable. They do try to get you at the Grand Mayan as well but once you let them know you are not interested they do leave you alone. We did have to pay for the gym (no biggie)it was $10.00/day. I was glad we had plenty of time between flights as some people missed their connection and did not get back to IN until Friday afternoon. UGH! I must admit going that far from home not knowing what to expect except for what you see on the internet we could not have asked for anything else! I would visit PV again, and I think we had the best resort and the price was definitely not over the top! You did a wonderful job and put up with me for many months in doing so! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward to your suggestions for our summer vacation, if there are any airlines left to travel with!

Testimonial about Leslie Bryant, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Tahiti Specialist: Hi Leslie,
We had a fantastic vacation. The Royal Hideaway is the finest resort we have ever stayed at.
It is beautiful; from the property and rooms to the restaurants and pool/beach area.
The staff at the hotel was superb. They went out of their way to make you comfortable and attend to every need. This made for an incredibly relaxing vacation.
The restaurants were also amazing. From the tasting menu at Ventanas, Mexican at Spices to a beautiful breakfast buffet everything was delicious.
It was nice having the town of Playa de Carmen a 5 min. cab ride away. The girls (both 18) had a good time with the night life. It is a pretty safe area down there and they met lots of other college kids.
Both Doane and I are so appreciate how you were able to rearrange the dates of our trip when our travel plans had to change. To be able to attend the memorial service and still have our vacation just did not seem like a possibility, but you made it happen.
Thanks again and we will be sure to be in touch with future travel plans.
Sincerely,
Doane & Kathie
Testimonial about Leslie Bryant, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Tahiti Specialist:
Hi Leslie,
I'm terribly sorry it took me SOOOOOO long to get back to you, but I did want to share some of our experience. Life has been crazy as a married man and catching up from a 3 week vacation so its taken me a little longer than I would have liked to a point where I can breathe and catch up on old things.
Anyway, we had a lovely trip. Both plane rides were just fine and all of our transportation worked out as we had expected. Our room was great at the El Dorado Royal......ocean view, swim-up bar right outside, our own daybed on the beach, etc. We took 2 excursions to the dolphin experience and the Tulum ruins (which also included a snorkeling trip). Both were a lot of fun and made the trip more interesting. We also spent a night going out in Playa del Carmen - it worked out well that we shared a cab with another couple from Monterey, Mexico. They spoke Spanish on our behalf that night and got us in to places we probably wouldn't have found ourselves. Other than that, we slept and ate ourselves silly which was much needed. As a recommendation for future travelers to our resort, I highly recommend the fruit tempura dessert at Kampai restaurant....by far one of the best desserts I've ever had.
Things were great - people were really nice, weather was fantastic and I would do it again.
Thank you so much for your help in planning our honeymoon. You did a fantastic job. I've attached a few pics, so I hope you like them.

Testimonials about Judi Gullum, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean Specialist: Judi Gullum is WONDERFUL!!!!!! She was so helpful and answered all our questions. I had lots of questions too. We have planned a trip for the family to Mexico to celebrate her graduation from high school. This was the only thing she asked from us for graduation. I can not wait to share our trip experience with everyone.
Thanks to Judi the planning was even fun. I am so glad that I stumbled upon Travel Wizard. We had set a reasonable budget, had a general idea of what we wanted and she put it all together. SHE IS AMAZING!!!! Not just a great travel agent but a wonderful person just to chat with. She made every request or detail seem as important to her as it was to us.
Look forward to sharing our trip with everyone. Look out Mexico !!! see ya when we get back!

Testimonial about Joan Smith, Mexico, Master Cruise Specialist:
Hi Joan!!
I hope you're well. Just wanted to let you know that I gave my friend Mariah Sixkiller your information. She'll likely be contacting you soon as her and her husband are looking to travel this month, last minute to Mexico or someplace warm for a week to get some much-needed R&R. I told her how wonderful you were with our honeymoon and that you would be the go-to-person to help them out. Hopefully, you've heard of some deals or have some good ideas that will work for them.
Thanks for taking care of them... Talk soon. Steve Haro
Testimonial about Gretchen Macknight, Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica Destinations Specialist:
Nancy and Gretchen,
First of all, Nancy, I wanted to let you know that my fiance, Mandy, and I have booked our honeymoon to a lovely resort in Mexico. As you sent us to Gretchen, I have to give you a big thank you! Gretchen was amazing, very informative, and extremely patient and helpful; she is our travel goddess. So thank you again.
Gretchen, as I've said many times, you were so great to us. Even though we were switching our resort, our country, and our ideas every other day, you helped us get to a point where we could make an informed decision, and that is the most important thing. Having that kind of help has made us both feel extremely satisfied in our choice. The rest is simply out of our hands. Thank you again, have a blast in Jamaica, and keep up the good work!
Best Regards, David Herring

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist:
Hi Patricia,
The trip was awsome! We had so much fun! The weather was really good. We want to go back, one week went so fast. We thought we would see if you could get us some info on renting a condo there and is it much cheaper? The hotel was awesome, no complaints, staff was friendly and we got our room upgraded to a suite! The hotel was clean and nicely renovated. Rick was really nice and down to earth! We would highly recomend him. We had the week of our dreams! All thanks to you. We are having a problem with the photos though. We bought the copyrights from the photographer and brought home the photos on a disc, because they were so nice and so many to choose from. But the disc is a dvd not a cd and we cant get them on the computer or the dvd player. So I have a friend that is going to see if she knows how to get them. She's a little beter on computers than me. If she cant I will call him and see what he says. We paid him a lot of money for this disc of photos so hopefully we can figure it out. So thanks so much for the awsome job you did planning out wedding/vacation. We will highly recommend you when we get the chance. Thanks again!

Testimonials about Nancy Neiman, Tahiti, Fiji, Mexico, Australia Specialist
Nancy, I cannot thank you enough for working so hard to find the perfect honeymoon spot for Peter and I. I definitely had you jumping through a lot of hoops in finding the perfect destination for the right price. Even up to the last 24 hours I was calling you in a panic about the weather forecast. You walked me through my options while I was literally at the airport! Truly above and beyond the call of duty!
The Royal Hideaway in Playa del Carmen was unbelievable! It was top notch 5 star all inclusive. Exactly what we were looking for! The weather (regardless of the forecast) was absolutley perfect.
We couldn't be happier with you,Ttravelwizard, and our vacation!
Thank you so much. We will definitely not plan a vacation without you in the future!

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Hello,
I was writing to let you know that we have been working with Patricia Mullen for over 6 months now planning our honeymoon. She has been excellent and an absolute pleasure to work with. We mentioned to her that we would like an earlier flight if one opened up and she remembered this several months later and let us know when it became available. Also, I can email her anytime and she always responds within a very short amount of time (usually within 30 minutes).
Our wedding planning wasn't this smooth, so we wanted to take the time to let you know what an outstanding employee you have working for your company. We would gladly work with her again on our future travel. It is rare to have such professional and responsive customer service in this society. Please keep this email in mind when reviewing Patricia in the future.
Thank you,

Testimonials about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Tahiti Specialist
Patricia-- Hi we just got back to TX last night. Travis got his passport in time we paid $500 for fast service but we got to go. The El Dorado was beautiful. Everything was fine, I called to confirm flight and those had changed in six months which we expected, once we got to the hotel they didn't have us in their system but after two days they did so we were glad we had the itinerary you sent us with the confirmation number. Thanks! Best Day travel, the people who picked us up ,were nice and great to work with. The food was good, nothing award winning but it was gourmet and wonderful presentations on all their dishes. Travis was expecting alot of seafood and we could get it but that was extra. We will go with the all inclusive again knowing more now how it works. You could only drink house wines and get drinks from any of the bars but you couldnt order alcohol or anythng not on the room service menu to your room. Our champane was delivered a day late for our anniversary but that was a room service mistake and not our concierge. Overall it was a great time. We did snorkling and deep sea fishing and snorkling in an underground natural cave. We had a great time too just sitting on the beach for a few days. Thanks for your help in planning our anniversary trip. P.S. How was your Hawaii trip? Sincerely, Kelley Jeffrey

Testimonial about Travelwizard.com, Paul Andrews,
Dear Paul and the Travel Wizard Team,
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift. Our trip to Cabo San Lucas was, without exception, the best vacation we have ever experienced.
With great anticipation, we arrived in San Jose, and immediately, even our highest expectations were surpassed. That would prove to be the care for the rest of the week.
From Cabo San Jose to Cabo San Lucas, we wanted to do and see everything. We believe we almost did.
We snorkeled off the Sea of Cortez, and Rode 'round the world famous Arch into the deep blue of the Pacific. We watched the sun set each night to the sounds of the surf and the music carried on the wind. We trekked thought the Baja, and walked the shores until the mountains turned us around.
Every day we made new friends, we saw new sights, and most importantly, we re-connected with each other like never before.
Our life here at home is tough. It always will be. But this wonderful trip was a renewing of our spirits that we wouldn't have found any other way.
We are truly grateful to you and your staff for providing first-class service and personal concern towards the goal of our having a great time. You worked with us patiently, and you truly care about what you do and how you do it. And it definitely shows.
Thank you sincerely , and God bless all of you.

Two Testimonials about Carson Watson, Luxury Cruise Specialist
Dear Robert & Donna,
When I got married last October, I was thrilled when the new hubby said he would go on my dream honeymoon: an Alaskan cruise! Naturally, I wanted, to plan the perfect trip, but not being an experienced traveler, I had no idea about how to actually going about it. I did some research online and came upon your company. My request for information was responded to with such quickness that it shocked me (in a good way!). Having worked. in customer service for a number of years, I appreciate excellent service when I get it I was assigned Carson Watson as my travel consultant and he’s a dream! I know that I must have driven him crazy with all, my e-mails and questions and panicking, but if I did, he never let it show. He always responded quickly and professionaily, but always like our trip meant as much to him, as it did to us. Since customer service seems to be deteriorating in many sectors, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate the service that I received from your company and from Carson in particular. He was even in contact when we got back to ask about our trip and see if we had a good time. He is an asset to your company and a pleasure to work with. I do not think that I would have gotten our trip planned without him. I would definitely recommend both your company and Carson to anyone planning an extraordinary trip.
Thank You, Hope Fore Hreha
We had a wonderful trip, Carson, and you arranged everything beautifully for us, especially when we thought our trip was doomed. You are an efficient problem solver and very easy to work with. You saved our trip. Thank you so very much.
Testimonial to Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Mexican Riviera and Tahiti Specialist:
Dear Patricia: Marcy and I wish to thank you immensely for the invaluable assistance you provided to us last week. The level of customer service you provided is really very difficult to find these days. I will absolutely use you again and will be sure to refer you to friends and family in the future. On that note, despite it being a year away, I mentioned that Marcy's parents want to take us and their other kids and grandkids on a vacation next summer. There will be five kids, age 3-10 and 8 adults. Probably an all inclusive in Bahamas or Virgin Islands. Any recommendations. Not too expensive and should have kids activities and day care, if possible. Thanks again for everything. You helped make a bad trip a lot better. Hope you enjoyed your trip too. Best, Josh
Hello, I just wanted to thank you for what you did for the families on the Montel Williams show. I am speeking about the families that have loved ones serving in Iraq. I know that it is a tax deduction,etc. but it is still nice to know that the people/companies who are in the position to do so are helping these soldiers and their families. Thanks again, Walter Kendall, Jr
Testimonial about Patricia Mullen, Hawaii, Tahiti, Mexico Specialist
Yeas I received your email last week, I just have started to get back into the swing of things. Our trip was WONDERFUL!!! El Dorado was beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon. Thanks so much! We'll definately book trips with you in the future and we definately want to go back to Mexico. Adios, Sala Hughes
Hello Patricia, It was great! Everything when just as planned. We upgraded our car and room location, but it made all the difference! The Hotel was very nice. The pool area is a little small, but the beautiful beach made it worth while. Thanks for your efforts. Jeff Bernardino
Hi Patty, Just got to the e-mail today. It was a wonderful experience. We can't wait to go back. We have already started a vacation club for our next Hawaii trip. I will try to upload the video to the computer and send it to you. My brother, who isn't a good videographer, had control of the camera for some part of the ceremony. We were lucky enough to have a driver who brought us to Magic island take over. Some of it is lost in the transfer, but a lot of it is there. My brother made some audio comments, and I hope you will not be offended by one in particular. He did not know it had audio capabilities. It is more of a sitcom in the beginning, so you will get a little laugh out of it. The sound isn't that great because it was quite windy where we were.
Thank you for all your help with our vacation. We will be using you again when we return. I think the only downside to it all was the long flight. Going out wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but coming home was a terrible flight. More turbulence then clear air, and no sleep at all for me. Beth managed to get a couple of hours. But that is the only complaint. I hope we can keep in touch, and when I get prints of the renewal, I will see if I can get my scanner working and send them to you. You made our anniversary vacation very special with all your help. You are the best. Talk to you soon. Bill Ryder

Testimonial about Joan Smith, Luxury Cruise Specialist
Hi Joan, So nice to hear from you! I keep meaning to e-mail you a note and then you beat me to it - oh well. We had a wonderful time. The ship was gorgeous and the ports were beautiful. Thanks for ordering the sunshine for us - we got very toasted! We really apprecited all the time and effort that you put into getting everyones questions answered etc... Our rooms were so close together - and the 10th floor was a great location. If you have anywhere where I can sing your praises to your company let me know because I do that often for nice people, doing their jobs and still enjoying it. The best thing about the cruise was, everyone was healthy and stayed that way, we all celebrated something special and even though another one of us is dealing with a crisis, we all managed to enjoy each other and we all came back still friends. Thanks again for your help and we look foward to a future vacation planning together!

Testimonial about Ted Tedula, Mexico, Caribbean Specialist
For Ted Tudela:
I want to tell you of our experience of working with Ted Tudela on a recent trip to Mexico. My husbands company held a contest for the salesmen, in which a certain amount of sales had to be met in order to go on an all expense paid vacation to Mexico. The contest final date was to be on February 28th. Three other company employees and their wives were already booked through Ted.
Ted was amazing! Since my husband was out of town until the Friday night before we were to leave, Ted was in contact with me quite a bit making the arrangements for us to be in the same resort as the others, as well as last minute seats on the airplane, and so many details that Ted took care of for us.
It was the best trip we have been on with the company, and a large part of that was due to Ted’s diligent hard work on our behalf.
Ted is a tremendous example of what an employee of a great company should be. We are very grateful for all that he did for us, and know that your business is extremely fortunate to have him as your own.
Kind Regards, Carrie Groneman of Layton, UT
Testimonials about Melanie Valuck, Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii Specialist
Melanie,
I just wanted to personally thank you for your assistance in our travel plans. Being our honeymoon we really had high expectations and I feel that they were definately met. The resort was beautiful and the service was superb. You were very accessable and it was comforting to know that we had a true professional working for us. I have a feeling that if I actually went through with booking the trip myself it would not have been so seamless and smooth. Thanks again and I will be sure to keep your contact info for future vacation plans.

Good Morning Bob and Donna McMillen:
I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with your company. You have exceeded all my expectations and was absolutely delightful to work with. Planning a trip can be quite stressful, especially when you are the one responsible to organize it for your group. Gay made it so easy and worry free. We did face some obstacles along the way- none of which were her fault and she immediately responded and corrected the problem.
You organized a trip for us during the week of March 5-12 in Cancun, Mexico. We stayed at the Golden Parnassus Resort. To say we enjoyed our stay is an understatement. We had a fabulous time and most importantly, as a trip should be it was stress free thanks to Gay. I cannot thank her enough for all that she did- the constant calls ensuring we received all our travel itineraries, the constant calls with the hotels ensuring our accommodations were as we requested and checking the best airline fares at a moments notice.
I look forward to working with your company again and just wanted you to know that she is an asset to your team.
Please know that my sister will also be reaching out to you this week to arrange her travel destination wedding in Punta Cana. Approximate guests
total- 30-40.
This is all due to her positive attitude, her patience and expertise. I will continue to refer not only family but anyone who mentions to me that they are planning a trip.
Thanks for everything and please feel free to contact me if you would like!

Hi Jenni, Happy New Year! I hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks for the follow up. We had a terrific time and all thanks to your amazing ability to pull it all together at the last minute not to mention at a very busy time of year, you were fantastic. My boyfriend loved it so much, he suggested that we make Mexico our default vacation destination ("when in doubt, let's do Mexico")....lol. I want to thank you for making an amazing vacation so easy to acquire. It was refreshing, the weather was beautiful, the people were amazingly warm and we were saddened on our last day, we weren't ready to leave. Thanks again for your phenomenal service with this vacation. I really appreciated how informative and honest you were, for people who had never been to Mexico before, the information you provided us was most helpful in making our trip a great one. Kindest Regards---Gina Antoine
Testimonials about Carson Watson--Cruise Specialist
"Hi Carson,
We had a great time on the cruise to and from Mexico. With the weather, we had to completely skip Key West and headed straight for Calica. So while it was a long time at sea, we did have a great time. (Plus somehow until the Saturday before, I misunderstood thinking we'd return to MIA Thursday morning... instead of Friday morning.) Carnival's Fascination cruise was great and certainly a lot of FUN. They had a nice blend of activities that appealed to Tyler as a tot, me and certainly my mom.
Thanks again for your help, your professionalism and for rescuing a trip that we almost scrapped!
Keyra"
Testimonial about Jenni Malone, Hawaii, Mexico Specialist:
Hi Jenni!
Ugh - back to reality and work!! Vacation was fabulous! The Iberostar was gorgeous. We were on the Quetzal side - (we found no discernable difference between the 2 sides) and the Junior Suite on the ocean was wonderful. For the money spent - this is a wonderful vacation. We got to eat at all five of the restaurants (the Japanese and Steak restaurants were the best).3 with reservations, 2 on the waiting list. The 2 reps at the Olympus desk were extremely pleasant and helpful. We did a day tour of Tulum and Xel Ha, the Mayan Adventure and Dolphin swim with Delphinus (Joel - Olympus Rep suggestion, and it was great. More time spent actually swimming with the Dolphins versus the other places). The Mayan Adventure was really neat - but I can see how small kids would be tricky, as the first part of the trip is a 1 mile swim. My kids were tired!
Tulum was beautiful and wonderful to see - but man was it hot! Xel Ha in 1/2 day was not quite enough time - I could see how a full day there would have been better, as there is a lot of exploring you could do. Its a very beautiful place and we sort of had to hurry through it. We did not go to Xcaret. Joel described Xel Ha as a natural site, where-as Xcaret is a man made (although wonderful) spot. I am glad we went with Xel Ha. And am also glad we did not book any other activities during our 8 days, because it is so wonderful just to hang out at the resort, either beach or pool side. The kids had loads of fun - but did not ever participate in the kids club. Most of their activity revolved around getting Pina Colada smoothies and ice cream cones from the pool bar :)
Jenni - I appreciate your time and your services. I will absolutely be in touch with you when we go to book our next vacation.
Thanks again. Anna Nogueiro
