Honest question 👇

You’re not a cookie-cutter traveler, so why would you settle for a cookie-cutter vacation?

The thing about booking online using a travel website (sites like Expedia and Booking.com) is that you only see what they want you to.

What if you’re missing out on the perfect resort or hotel because it’s not paying to be promoted on one of these websites?

When you work with us, we skip right to the part where we get to know you, so the recommendations we make for hotels, resorts, tours, experiences, and even destinations (if you haven’t figured that out yet), are specific to you.

When our clients shift from booking their couples trips, anniversaries, cruises, and family getaways online to working with us so we can customize their experiences, it changes everything!

☀️ They enjoy their travels more.
🏖️ They feel special and taken care of.
🥂 Every trip feels unique.

And isn’t that how travel should be?

Throwback Thursday from our own Travel Bug Advisor - Antonia's Edition! ✈️✨

Let's rewind to one of my most cherished travel memories – my unforgettable escape to Sandals Royal Caribbean in Jamaica! 🇯🇲✨ From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and the promise of an extraordinary experience.

The food? Simply divine! Every meal was a culinary journey, with flavors that danced on my palate and left me craving more. 🍹 And oh, the employees! Their genuine hospitality made me feel like royalty, ensuring that every moment was filled with warmth and joy. 🌟

But the entertainment stole the show! From lively performances to laid-back beach parties, there was never a dull moment at Sandals Royal Caribbean. 🎶

And those overwater bungalows? Absolute paradise! Waking up to the gentle lull of the waves was pure bliss. 🏝️💖

As I reminisce about my travels and dream about my next adventure, Sandals Royal Caribbean remains at the top of my list. It's more than just a resort – it's a sanctuary where every detail is crafted with care and every moment is pure magic. ✨

Mexico and the Caribbean are completely different regions but they have one thing in common — endless choices for resorts, hotels and things to do.

And in a maze of those endless choices, personalized recommendations from a pro is the one thing that will cut through all the noise and get you to that vacation you want.

Getting to know you, your travel preferences, and the trips you’ve loved in the past (and the ones you’d rather forget!), our resort, hotel, and activity recommendations are on point and personalized to you.

Naturally, we also consider all of the places we've visited and loved, as well as reviews from clients who fit a similar travel style as you.

A “great” trip is different for everyone.

All that is to say that a personalized approach to all-inclusive trips really is the secret sauce.

Agree or disagree?

We literally breathe a sigh of relief every time a client makes it to the airport, boards their flight, and is officially on the way.

But what happens if you do miss your flight?

1. First, if you’re headed to the airport and you’re pretty sure you won’t make your flight, contact the airline en route to let them know. They may even be able to start making arrangements for a new flight.

2. When you arrive, make a beeline for the airline’s customer service desk — they’re your best allies for getting booked onto another flight.

3. Get in touch with your travel advisor (Hey hey, that’s us!) so we can re-arrange your airport transfers and call the hotel to let them know you’re arriving later so you don’t risk getting bumped in an overbooking situation, or getting stuck with the worst room.

When travel plans hang in the balance, it’s a must to have support and someone to help smooth things over.

Have you ever missed a flight? This is a judgment-free zone! Share with us in the comments.

Imagine staying is this room, falling asleep under the stars… ✨

Part of the fun of our job is keeping tabs on always-changing travel trends

And here’s one trend for 2024 that I wanted to pass on to all of you:

This year, astro tourism is the celestial trend of 2024!

Why? ✨ As society delves deeper into a virtual world, the yearning to explore the real universe grows. Travel to pollution-free havens for unparalleled stargazing experiences, from the Lookout Bubble in the UK to Zulal Wellness Resort in the Qatari desert. Join, Desert & Delta for starlit safaris in Botswana and Namibia, or sleep under the stars at Tswalu in the Korannaberg mountains.

With 2024 boasting extraordinary celestial events, including the best Northern Lights displays in 20 years, escape the virtual for a cosmic adventure. 🌌✨

And PS, if this trend isn’t your cup of tea, we plan trips all over the world and we can design something that’s just for you!

So many places to travel, and only 365 days in a year!
So how do you narrow it down? Ask yourself these four questions!

❓What do you not get enough of every day?
Some clients need rest, others want more adventure.

❓How much time do you have?
How many PTO days do you have, and how can you maximize them?

❓How much money can you spend?
An important consideration when deciding.

❓What weather makes you happy?
Some like it hot, while others need to escape the stifling humidity.

These questions are a great way to narrow down the list a little.

Don’t hesitate to share your answers with us, and we can brainstorm your next getaway together.

T’is the season to give! And if you’re thinking about gifting travel this Holiday season…

First of all, your giftee is lucky to have you in their life.

And second of all, here are a few tips for a perfectly executed gifted trip:

🎁 If possible, to keep things open-ended. Unless you’re 100% sure someone can depart on the exact dates you decide, it’s worthwhile keeping things flexible, just in case.

🎁 You may want to forgo pre-booking something. Instead, gift a token that represents the trip, like a map, brochure, or travel-related items, and then allow the person you’re gifting to plan the trip with a trusted travel advisor.

🎁 Sometimes it’s not the trip. It’s the journey. You may want to make the person you’re gifting a part of the travel planning process and give them VIP treatment by having an advisor who can curate and do the heavy lifting of booking the travel once they decide where they’d like to go.
