Should you trust hotel reviews you see online?

Here’s my take as a travel advisor:

Yes, you can take reviews into consideration, but its risky to base your whole decision off the perspectives of strangers.

I’ve been to hotels that had average reviews, but they ended up being perfect for me and my travel style.

On the flip side, I’ve been to hotels with great ratings that just didn’t quite live up to my expectations.

Taking the time to understand what you truly want and value from your travel experience is a great place to start so you don’t get confused or swayed when you read reviews.

Here’s how I can help: ​​When I make recommendations on where you should stay and what you should do, I’m taking the time to truly understand your travel preferences, needs, and hotels and resorts you’ve enjoyed in the past.

That way I can give you clarity in the thousands of choices for resorts and hotels out there.

No having to guess or rely on mixed online reviews. Let’s chat! Send me a DM or comment below.

"Isn‘t it too early to be thinking about spring trips?"

Some advice from your travel advisor:

It‘s NEVER too early.

If you’re planning your Spring Break trip now, you’re ahead of the curve:

➡️ You get first pick and can lock in the best rooms at those high-demand resorts and hotels before they fill up.

➡️ You have more time to look for promotions. I keep my eyes peeled for offers that align with the trip you have in mind so you can get the best value for your budget.

➡️ One less thing to stress about. Get it locked into your calendar so you have something to look forward to.

Let’s get you ahead of the Spring travel game. Send me a DM so we can start planning!

As I’m planning trips, there’s a running roll of thoughts that go through my head 👇

👉 Did I check for the best possible routes and airlines my clients are loyalty members of? (Gotta build those points where possible!)

👉 Is the hotel or resort in a location that makes sense for the type of trip?

👉 Are there special dietary needs to consider?

👉 Is the itinerary designed to hit the things that are most important?

👉 Are tours and experiences booked?

👉 Is there transportation to and from the airport and all of the places in between?

Y’all, it’s a whole lot to juggle.

It’s my job. It’s what I’m good at. And nothing makes me happier than taking these questions and worries off my clients’ plates so they aren’t stressing before or during their family trips.

And friend, I can help you too! Don‘t waste another minute on travel logistics. Send me a message today, and let‘s start planning! ✈️🌍

Why would someone book a trip with a travel advisor instead of on the internet? Here are a few reasons 👇

Handpicked Accommodations: Without having to scour the internet with browser tabs toggled between multiple hotels, you can’t keep track of endless review sites that don’t actually give you any clarity.

Expert Recommendations: Whether I’m matching you to that lesser-known but amazing local guide or helping you decide which tours and experiences best suit your style, I’m sharing insights from my personal travel experiences and my network of travel experts around the world.

Reclaiming time: I save my clients dozens of hours and weeks, or sometimes even months, of scouring the internet trying to figure out what to book and how to pull a great trip together.

If you haven’t experienced the absolute relief and ease of having an expert take care of your travel plans, friend, I promise you, it is SUCH a good feeling.

Here when you’re ready to travel with ease!

🚢✨ Wrapping Up Your Cruise: What to Expect!

As you prepare for the end of your amazing voyage, here’s everything you need to know to ensure a smooth departure:

The Night Before

Receive Your Info:
Expect your stateroom attendant to deliver luggage tags and the “As You Depart” guide. These tags will match your departure time for the next day.

Pack & Prepare:
Pack your larger bags and leave them outside your stateroom by 11 p.m. (if doing traditional disembarktion). The crew will handle them overnight, so you can travel light the next morning. Don’t forget to keep a small carry-on with your essentials, including travel documents and valuables.

Check Your Account:
Review your onboard account through the ship’s system and resolve any discrepancies at the Guest Services Desk.

Day of Departure -

Enjoy Breakfast:
Fuel up with a delicious breakfast on board before you disembark.

Departure Lounge & Disembarkation:
Find your assigned departure lounge based on your luggage tag. The “As You Depart” guide will provide all the details. Relax with refreshments and let the kids enjoy the family zone with toys and games. When your group is called, crew members will guide you to the gangway and your luggage. Proceed through customs and immigration checks, then head to your airport transfer, taxi, or meet your family.

Express Departure - For the Quickest Exit:
Opt for Express Departure to be among the first off the ship. Carry your own luggage and enjoy an early start to your journey.

We’re flying home today, so we’re choosing Express Departure to get to the airport early and stress-free. 🌟✈️

🚢 Behind the Scenes: All-Access Ship Tour! 🚢

Have you ever wondered what’s behind those doors labeled “CREW ONLY”? An All-Access Ship Tour is your chance to see! 🌟 I've done this tour before and absolutely loved it, so I've encouraged others to give it a try too. I'm excited to do it again today!

On this incredible all-access ship tour, we'll get to:

🔧 Explore the engine control room, the heart of the ship, and see how the powerful engines and propulsion systems are monitored and controlled.

🛳️ Venture onto the bridge, the command center where the captain and navigation officers steer the vessel.

🍽️ Step into the galley to witness the meticulous care that goes into crafting every meal for thousands of passengers and crew.

🧺 Visit the ship's expansive laundry facilities and watch the cleaning and folding processes for massive volumes of napkins, tablecloths, sheets, and beach towels.

🚶‍♀️ Stroll along I-95, the long corridor in the crew's area, named for the interstate highway that spans the eastern U.S. coastline.

♻️ Check out the environmental room to learn about onboard waste management, water treatment, energy conservation, and Royal Caribbean's commitment to sustainability.

This tour gives you exclusive access to the working zones most guests never see, offering a fascinating look at what it takes to create your best vacation ever. 🌍✨

🌴 Setting Sail in Style! 🌴

Today, we're embarking on a private catamaran sailing adventure that we booked on our own, not through the cruise line. Here’s why we chose to do it this way:

#1: This is a private sailing just for our family. 🛥️💕

#2: We can walk right off the ship without having to wait in the theater by shore excursion groups. 🛳️✨

#3: We were able to work with Captain Mark to arrange a BBQ lunch at a price lower than what the cruise was offering. 🍔🌊

Sometimes the cruise line offers AMAZING shore excursion options, and sometimes the options are lacking or not the best fit for you. When you book with an agent, you can explore additional options to ensure you find the best fit for your group.

If you're considering a cruise, reach out! I love helping families and groups plan their best cruise vacations! 🚢🌴

Can we get you on a vacation where your only concern is how you’d like your coffee?

Or whether you want to be enjoying the infinity pool overlooking the ocean or a lounger on the beach?

Very few things make me feel better than helping my clients kick off their relaxation BEFORE they even leave for the trip.

All of those stressful things that make travel planning complicated, things like:

➡️ Researching and finding trusted sources.

➡️ Picking the right resort when there are so many options that look great.

➡️ Picking tour companies, confirming the booking, etc etc.

🌍 Planning the Ultimate Safari: My Extensive Research and Insights

Embarking on a safari is a dream adventure, and I'm excited to share my journey of planning our family trip! 🐾📸 With a sheer number of tour options available, I delved deep into researching different geographic locations, tour providers, and tour options to ensure we had the best experience possible.

Here's a glimpse into my safari planning process:

Exploring Different Geographic Locations 📍
From the vast plains of the Serengeti to the lush landscapes of the Okavango Delta, I considered various regions to find the perfect match for our safari adventure. Each location offers unique wildlife experiences and breathtaking scenery.

Evaluating Tour Providers 🏞️
I researched numerous tour operators, comparing their offerings, customer reviews, and reputation. A safari is a significant investment, so choosing a reliable and experienced provider is crucial.

Diverse Tour Options 🚙
From private guided tours to group safaris, there are countless options to suit different preferences and budgets. I explored various itineraries, accommodations, and activities to create a well-rounded and memorable trip.

Gathering First-Hand Experiences 🗣️
During our safari, I spoke with guests at hotels, driver guides, and tour directors to hear about their experiences with their tour companies. Their insights were invaluable in understanding the pros and cons of different providers.

Making Informed Decisions 📚
With all this information, I made informed decisions to ensure our safari was everything we dreamed of and more. The extensive research paid off, and our family had an unforgettable adventure.

A safari is a significant investment, and it’s essential to fully research your options to get the best value and experience. I'm here to help you navigate the myriad of choices and plan the perfect safari adventure tailored to your needs.

🌟 How to Find the Best Independent Tours and Activities for Your Trip 🌟

When planning a travel itinerary, I usually collaborate with my trusted in-country destination specialist partners. These experts have vetted tour operators they work with regularly to ensure an exceptional experience. However, sometimes I need a specific tour or activity to supplement a trip. In these cases, I turn to reputable online marketplaces like Viator, Project Expedition, Tours by Locals, and Shore Excursions Group.

Here’s what I look for to ensure the best tours and activities:

Excellent Reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I prioritize tours with an average rating of at least 4.5 stars. This high rating indicates a consistently positive experience from previous travelers.

High Number of Reviews 📈
The more reviews, the better! If a tour has fewer than 30 reviews, I usually pass. A high number of reviews helps ensure that the ratings are reliable and not just based on a few exceptional or poor experiences.

Detailed Review Analysis 🧐
If any reviews are less than 4 stars, I dive into the details to understand why. Are the complaints from people who might find fault in any situation, or is there a legitimate concern? This helps me gauge whether any negative feedback is a deal-breaker.

Award-Winning Tours 🏆
I look for tours with accolades, such as Viator's "Badge of Excellence." These awards are given to tours that consistently provide outstanding experiences, making them a safe bet for a great time.

Here’s an example of a tour that I would feel very comfortable booking for myself or a client:

✨ 50' Luxury Yacht. Private Full or Half Day Catamaran Snorkel, & Beach Experience ✨
⭐️ Rating: 5 stars (480+ reviews)
🏆 Awards: Viator's Badge of Excellence
📜 Highlights:
Spend the day on your own 50' Luxury Catamaran Yacht. This price is all inclusive for the Yacht, up to 12 guests. You can select a half or full day charter.
Visit the islands of St. Thomas, St. John and surrounding cays.

When selecting a tour, keep these tips in mind to ensure you have an unforgettable experience. Safe travels! 🌍✈️

🌴 Travel Tip: How We Handle Unexpected Changes 🌴

We all know that travel can sometimes come with unexpected hiccups. Recently, one of our trusted tour operators reached out to my clients after 9 PM on the night before their eagerly awaited excursion with the following message:

"One of our guides has been injured and will not be available tomorrow morning. Would you be available on another day or in the afternoon? If not, we may have to cancel unless other people can move (I've sent the same message to the whole group)."

My clients were on a cruise and were unable to change this excursion to another day or time. (Remember, this message was sent by the tour operator AFTER 9 PM on the night before their scheduled tour. So maybe you have a tour tomorrow, maybe you don't.)

Thankfully, my clients are flexible and were able to quickly find another activity to enjoy their day at that port. Despite my immediate request for a cancellation and refund, the operator initially did not honor it. Their exact response was:

"I'm sorry but it was never confirmed that we were cancelling the guided tour."

As your dedicated travel advisor, I understand the importance of hassle-free travel experiences. I promptly called the booking company and advocated on behalf of my clients. After a thorough discussion, I successfully secured a full refund for them.

I strive to minimize the headaches that can arise from last-minute changes. Travel can be unpredictable, but I’m here to ensure your journeys remain as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Safe travels! ✈️💼

Way to go !! I love your NEW "Worry-free Shore Excursion" policy! 🌊✨

Everyone has probably heard the horror stories about travelers who booked a tour outside of the cruise line and been left stranded because they didn't make it back to the ship on time. Or perhaps something happened with the port, and the cruise ended up arriving late or not stopping at that port altogether. (That happened to me in Alaska!)

As a travel advisor, I am always looking out for the best interests of my clients. Sometimes the tours offered by the cruise lines aren't a great match for my clients. Either they are boring, have way too many people, or have terrible reviews.

Now Viator is offering peace of mind for my cruising clients that are looking for additional shore excursion options. My clients won't lose money if there is an issue with a port of call (either the ship is delayed or they have to change ports). Additionally, in the very low chance that a client misses the ship, Viator will arrange for the necessary transport to the next port-of-call (up to $1000 per passenger). 🚢💼

Safe travels and happy cruising! 🌍🛳️

I have a bit of a controversial take on luxury travel.

I’m a pretty big believer that luxury travel isn’t always 5-star resorts and first-class tickets (although both of those are nice!).

Luxury can be as simple as having someone else plan and book all the details for your trip so there’s no stress on your shoulders.

Luxury can be an itinerary tailored perfectly to you, without you having to lift one finger.

Luxury can be as simple as seamless logistics, where all the details are planned and organized for you without any stress or wasted time.

Just know that whether your idea of luxury is the 5-star resorts or it’s all of the things I listed above, I’m a DM or email away and ready to assist!

THE MOST EXPENSIVE TRAVEL MISTAKE I SEE PEOPLE MAKE?

(THE VERY SAME ONE I HAVE MADE MYSELF...)

Not purchasing travel insurance.

I used to believe that travel insurance was a waste of money. It's true.

However, after my daughter's hospital stay during our trip to Belize, I can assure you that it's worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY.

In addition to covering medical expenses during your travel, which can quickly add up when you are out of the country and have to self pay for every single item and service BEFORE you receive it, there are several other key reasons why investing in travel insurance is crucial.

Cancellation or Interruption: Life is unpredictable, and sometimes unexpected events occur that can force you to cancel or cut short your travel plans. Travel insurance offers financial protection by reimbursing you for non-refundable expenses such as flights, accommodation, and pre-paid activities in case of covered events such as illness, injury, or a family emergency.

Lost or Delayed Baggage: Misplaced or delayed luggage can be an inconvenience, but with travel insurance, you can be reimbursed for essential items you need to replace while your bags are being located. Additionally, some policies may provide coverage for baggage loss or theft, easing the financial burden associated with such incidents.

Travel Delays or Cancellations: Whether it's due to inclement weather, airline strikes, or other unforeseen events, travel delays and cancellations are not entirely uncommon. Travel insurance can offer compensation for additional expenses incurred during prolonged delays, such as meals, accommodation, or alternate transportation arrangements.

Emergency Assistance and Support: Travel insurance often includes 24/7 emergency assistance services, which can be invaluable when you find yourself in a challenging situation while abroad. These services can provide you with guidance, help you find local medical facilities, and offer support in various emergency scenarios, giving you peace of mind and a lifeline when you need it most.

I strongly recommend that you consider purchasing travel insurance for any upcoming trips to protect yourself against any unforeseen circumstances that could affect your travel experience and finances.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions or need assistance with obtaining insurance quotes. Travel insurance is a personal choice and I recommend reviewing multiple policies and considering your specific needs before making your purchase.
