DON’T TAKE IT FROM US

Lynn was great, answered all our questions and made some great recommendations, such as how to book an excursion when we arrived. All still had plenty of space and we got a great deal. She sent us our travel documents (twice!) when we misplaced them. We’ll definitely use them on our next trip.

Paula our agent was so helpful despite the fact that we had to make changes three times due to family issues. Paula thought of everything and everything went smoothly flights the transfers our stay at the Hard Rock was all perfect.
