Customer Testimonials

Beaches Negril update

We all agreed that Beaches Negril was our best Caribbean vacation ever. The beach is clean, warm, clear turquoise, white soft sand. It's not deep along the surf and you can walk for miles. The food was great at the buffet. The a la cart restaurants did not require a reservation and they were all good. The snack bars are available all day. All options are delicious & convenient. The room was clean and up to date. The staff was excellent and take time to get to know you. Aiden’s (9 yr old): “it was awesome!!” Aiden played in the water park and basketball court. He also enjoyed all activities that were offered e.g. snorkelling, banana boat, boat rides, beach games, nightly themes. His favourite part was meeting and playing wiith all the other kids. Tim’s highlights were the ocean, the food, the gym and the beach. I lived on the beach the whole week. I would recommend this resort for families. I could just relax and not have to worry about entertaining them.

THE BEST TRIP OF OUR LIVES...REALLY!
Gene looked after our 10 day trip to Barcelona (flights, hotels, trains, etc.) and our 7 day Mediterranean Cruise. He responded immediately to any questions/concerns I had, offered suggestions, which were most helpful and put my mind at ease knowing we were being looked after. I would highly recommend Gene to anyone needing assistance with their travel needs.

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed helping you plan your "trip of a lifetime" to Barcelona and beyond! I really enjoyed following you on Facebook while you were traveling and of course, making sure that everything was going smoothly. Looking forward to planning your next trip.
