About me:
Traveling the world has brought me some of the best experiences in my life. As a photographer, I love traveling to places that inspire amazing images… not only the places that are well known, but the places that are “off the beaten path” that really highlight in the true culture of the places I visit. It gives me great pleasure to share those experiences with my clients. One of my favorite trips was to the island of Corsica, the little known Mediterranean island north of the more popular Sardinia. It’s rich diversity in landscapes coupled with the medieval architecture and unique culture makes this island truly an unfound gem in the travel world. There are also times I just want to get away from the cold and go south to Mexico and the Caribbean. While my favorite winter destination is to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, I enjoy the resorts in Mexico almost as much. I look forward to helping you organize and plan a vacation that will be unforgettable and enjoyable no matter where in the world you go.

Made it to my new winter apartment in Spain! Did some exploring and settling in. Who would have thought something as simple as grocery shopping could be just as much of an adventure as seeing major sites! Lol 😂 Weather is in the 70’s so headed out to get some sun!

In 2025 we’re taking the show on the road! I’ll be living in the south of Spain on the Mediterranean from January 8th to March 9th.

I’m excited to check out more areas the Mediterranean has to offer as I take weekend excursions to amazing destinations and tell you all about it.

During this time my new office hours will be 7am to 2pm Monday to Thursday CST.

Please understand that if you send an email or text after 2PM I’ll be sure to get back with you next business day! I am hoping that this experience will help you on your next trip to Europe!

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a safe and festive Holiday Season!

Something really fun the RIU resorts are doing now is having themed party nights at one of their resorts in every destination. They provide transportation from all the surrounding RIU resorts along with all beverages. These are usually adult only but some are for families. It’s a great concept and a heck of a good time!

Windy day, but what a fantastic resort! Hyatt Vivid is a new contemporary resort built on the lagoon side of the strip in Cancun. It has beach access via a shuttle to their beach club where they have a bar and restaurant. Overall the views were spectacular (especially from the rooftop pools) and it didn’t bother me that this wasn’t right on the ocean. Large spacious rooms with the contemporary vibe really stands out from other resorts in the area. Great food and restaurant options to boot! It’s a winner!!!

Made it to Cancun! 5 resorts in 5 nights to visit! Stay tuned for updates!

Forget the Space Needle and the fish market, if you have a couple extra days before your Alaska cruise departs Seattle, grab a rental car and get out of town to explore the immense natural of the Pacific Northwest. Lots of great lodges right around Olympic National Park with awesome trails and scenic photo opportunities. 😎

A big THANK YOU to everyone that supports me and Monticello Travel. As many of you know, I do not charge fees and get paid commission from the resorts/hotels/tour companies/cruise lines I book for you. If you book direct or online, they get the commission. And because I guarantee the lowest price before you book, you can be confident you made a good choice using our service and have a personal expert to help you along the way! 😎 Without your support, I wouldn’t be able to do these trips to check out the places I send you so again, THANK YOU!!!!! 🙏

I was blown away with the extensive remodel at the RiU Palave Bavaro. Perfect for most anyone looking for a modern resort without the price tag of a Luxury property. It’s especially good for larger families and has a multitude of waterpark attractions and a very cool food court concept!

When it comes to family resorts, another great choice for a more upscale experience is Dreams Royal Beach. Like Secrets Royal Beach, this resort went under a major renovation and added in a fantastic water park. Guests staying at Secrets have access to the entire resort and adults at Dreams can access the nightclub at Secrets.

This is why I go on these trips. Secrets Royal Beach was one of those I hesitated to recommend… but after seeing the 48...

This is why I go on these trips. Secrets Royal Beach was one of those I hesitated to recommend… but after seeing the 48 million dollar renovation, is one of my new favorite adults only resorts. You have to get the right room category for it to really pay off but it’s a perfect size, well appointed resort with a gorgeous beach and top notch service… and it’s priced great for a luxury resort coming in well under the new Secrets Tides.

Our Story

My name is Dean Smith, owner of Monticello Travel, a local Travel Agency specializing in international travel. We take the time to personally travel to all our service locations to provide firsthand feedback and expertise to help make your vacation the best it can be. By visiting resorts, touring countries and doing the leg work for you, we think you’ll agree that planning your next vacation has never been easier with Monticello Travel.

Because we are paid commissions directly from tour companies, hotels and resorts, all the services listed are provided with NO SERVICE FEES and come with a Low Price Guarantee before you book. We take the guesswork out of planning a vacation… just sit back and relax and let us do the work! Local Service - International Fun! As a Travel Specialist, my goal is to give real world advice and local service you just can not get online. Combine that with a low price before you book guarantee, and Monticello Travel will get you your dream vacation at the same or better price than the internet... all with a real person to help you along the way.

To keep costs low we operate as a “Cyber” agency instead of a physical store front. And don’t confuse “Cyber” with “Online”. With an online agency like Travelocity or Expedia you do all the work and do not have access to specials and promotions that travel agents do. You also do not get a real person you can access 24/7 to help you in emergencies or just be there to answer questions you might have. With Monticello Travel, you can set up an appointment to meet in person at your local coffee shop, call or text me anytime day and night and I’ll be there for you. And without the overhead of a physical store front, there are no service fees added to your vacation. Bottom line: It doesn’t cost you a dime to use Monticello Travel, but the payoff is huge!

Our specialties/servces include: -All-inclusive Vacations in Mexico, the Caribbean and Costa Rica -Europeon Tours, Cruises and River Cruises -Alaska and Hawaii Cruises -Disney/Universal Studio’s Vacations -Hawaii and South Pacific and SE Asia Vacations
