The best trip
Reviewed By R&D - Alberta | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Working with Val from start to finish was truly a wonderful experience. She helped us arrange our destination wedding trip for my fiancé, myself, and our family and friends, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better.
From the very beginning, Val was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly informative about locations and resorts. She guided all of us through the paperwork, visas, and every detail in between with patience and expertise. Her organization and support made what could have been a stressful process feel easy and seamless.
Without Val’s knowledge and assistance, our wedding and vacation would not have gone as smoothly as they did. She played such an important role in making our special day absolutely magical.
Thank you, Val, for everything! ??????

She gathered all of the details needed as it related to our interests, the timeline we had and how we wanted to organize our days in Vancouver. This is the first time I have used an agent to organize one of our trips - I have always put together the details of our travel plans in the past and so was a little nervous about just letting go of this. I had no reason to worry - Val did an excellent job of choosing perfect excursions and putting an itinerary together that was very well organized! She loaded our trip onto Trip Plans, which we had never used before, where our documents and details were accessible - it was so useful. I would not hesitate to use her services again as I have the utmost of confidence in her.

Val was a wonderful discovery for me because it was just a random connection on the Internet. And it proved to be very very fruitful. I have already recommended Val to several friends who are hoping to travel in Canada soon the trip suggestions and arrangements she made for us were absolutely by following her recommendations and based on her experience, she made reservations in the two most heavily trafficked attractions the Columbia ice fields and a boat rate dried on the lake. All the other suggested locations we stopped at were on Val‘s itinerary.

I used Val for the first time for parts of my three month vacation in Asia. I don't normally use a travel agent, but I may reconsider now as Val provided services I wouldn't get by booking on my own.

Great Trip with Val's Help
Reviewed By Happy Traveller - Edmonton, Alberta | Traveled to Fort Lauderdale | Florida | USA
Ours was a 7 Day Western Caribbean Cruise --- Val works hard to find alternatives to one's needs, offering options. Her experience finding winning vacations to meet client needs is evident. No seemingly pettier trivial question is ignored, all being quickly answered. It is most unlikely that we will look to any other agent for our travel needs.

Fight was great, once landed as expected and well informed of other venders try to sell you nuisance.
Our driver to the resort was on time and pleasant. Checking into the hotel HARD ROCK MAYAN was fast and refreshing, by giving us guest rewards to activities. My family and I loved the resort. Absolutely no complaints and our vacation was unforgettable.
A little alarming when it was time to get a hold of our drive back to the airport. Hard to contact the company’s personnel. And everyone in the front outside lobby “valet” personal acted like they had no idea of our bus or the schedule. But got it all sorted and luckily the bus was waiting for us.

We contacted Val for some suggestions for our trip. We knew which side of the country we wanted to be on, other than that we knew what we wanted, but had no idea how to find what would check our boxes. After two conversations Val had a couple of suggestions, one of which nailed it!!!! Everything was seamless and went smoothly.The resort itself is beautiful! The grounds are stunning and there are so many pathways to explore. It's right on the beach and also within easy walking distance to some really cool shopping areas. The staff were absolutely amazing and extremely helpful. There were only two restaurants, but the food was great! The menu at the buffet changed frequently so we felt we had lots of variety. There are four pool/ beach bars so plenty of places to get a margarita or a Pina colada! And service on the beach was great. This is a family friendly resort with 24 hour security which I would highly recommend.

Fantastic vacation

We LOVED Huatulco! The resort itself, Secrets, was fantastic. The rooms are in three separate buildings, all built into the side of a hill, all facing the ocean, so they all have the same stunning view. The drinks flowed freely and we had fantastic service! The food was great and service was better! The beach is quite steep, but the view is phenomenal! They hung a Happy Anniversary banner on our door the first day or so, and we got pampered the whole time we were there with rose petals or other flowers arranged on the bed most days. All-in-all, it was a fantastic vacation.

Wonderful Family Vacation
Reviewed By Mexican Vow Renewal - Kelowna, BC | Traveled to Costa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
We recently planned a vow renewal in Mexico for our group of 30ppl coming from multiple locations. Val was very helpful researching properties & locations that would accommodate all age groups from all our departure cities. We opted for RIU Dunamar in Costa Mujeres and there was something there to suit everyone!
Val was very thorough booking our trip, making sure everyone had all the info they needed before departure from checking on passport requirements to offering packing lists. She also provided info on our destination (places to shop, restaurants to eat at and places to see) with options for excursions as well.
Val checked in with us once we arrived in Mexico and is actually still in communication with us as we continue to sort out some Sunwing issues.
All in all Val was wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend her!
Thanks for making our family celebration so memorable Val!

Planning our trip to Venice & Croatia with Val was a great experience, we had many 'moving parts', flights, transfers, hotels, tours ...... etc, all went exactly as described and planned. We also purchased our travel insurance through Val, she is very knowledgeable and selected the specific coverage for our needs. Val is attentive to every detail sending updates and information throughout the process, and was always available, responding to our many questions in a very timely manner. I would (and have!) highly recommend Val Burnett for all your vacation needs.

Reviewed By Tina - Surrey, BC | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Val was extremely helpful with getting us a good deal for Planet Hollywood Cancun. We were able to get Star Class + Adult Zone which was much better than the deals we were finding on our own. The resort was great and we enjoyed all the amenities and restaurants. I would highly recommend getting Star Class because you get special treatment and reservation privileges at the restaurants. Otherwise you will be waiting 1+ hours for dinner. Can’t wait to book with Val again for our next vacation!!

We just returned from 1 week holiday to Punta Cana. Val helped us with booking this trip and she coordinated it with our friends trip as well. She was very helpful throughout the hotel booking process and was able to utilize her contacts to arrange our desired room category that was not initially available. Prior to travel she provided an amazing app that contained all our necessary documents, information and links required for the journey. The start of our trip became a bit complicated as there were weather delays but she was in contact with us throughout that entire time. It was so reassuring to know she was available to help if necessary.
She gave us lots of great advice and tips before and during the vacation. I can’t wait to utilize her expertise again and I’ve already recommended her to many of my friends!

Val is very efficient, and knows her stuff. She is very thorough, explaining everything, answering all our questions. She has been there for us at midnight and 6:00 am. when we had issues.

Reviewed By Totally a Fan of Val Burnett - Calgary, Alberta | Traveled to Cancun, Mexico
In the last couple of years we have been fortunate to have Val handle 4 trips for us. She proved to be exceptional in getting us a wonderful experience at a reasonable cost. However, the true measure of customer service is not when things go smoothly., it is when there are problems. Our last two trips, one to Europe and the Mediterranean and the second to Mazatlan had to be cancelled. The first due to the death of an immediate family member on the second day of our trip, the the second due to Covid-19. Val was truly amazing! She was available 24/7, and handled everything for us in a very efficient way. I should mention that the cancellation of our Mazatland trip by Sun Wing, meant Val did not get her commission for all the work she did arranging the trip, then handling all the headaches associated with the cancellation. Of all the travel agents we have used over the years, Val Burnett is by far and above the best ever! We will not use anyone else now.

Val was simply fantastic! Her biggest assets are her passion for what she does (which is helping people have the vacation they always wanted) and her experience. Val knows all the ins and outs of booking vacations and is very quick to offer up tips and tricks all learned from her own experience. I am a frequent traveler but in booking a Mexico trip there was probably 5-7 things I would not have thought of. Val has it all covered. The information she sends you is all first rate. Very clear, concise, and professional. I can’t say enough about the good work Val does. What is also impressive is she is very easy to get a hold of (even late at night) if you have questions. She also follows-up to see how it all went. Highly recommend working with Val Burnett.

Reviewed By Matt & Steph - Fort mcmurray | Traveled to Playa Del Carmen ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Val was extremely amazing to work with and we cant wait to book with her again! She was very helpful with info about everything from stores and shops to visit to excursions and all of the above. As a first time traveler this made things so much less stressful. Highly recommend booking with Val again

Exceptional Service and Expertise
Reviewed By Tannis - Red Deer, Alberta | Traveled to Europe
Val is very responsive to emails. Her prices are no more expensive than booking online, but she offers a great deal of expertise, as well as assistance while you are on your trip should something go wrong. When we had issues with our rental car and flight changes, she was available to help us out.

No price could ever replace service like this
Reviewed By Grateful - Ft McMurray | Traveled to Mazatlan ~ Sinaloa ~ Mexico
I never thought a travel agent could save us so much money and when we really needed her with our vacation, she was right there. I could not imagine the cost and stress that Val saved us. Before our trip started we had a family emergency and could not start on time with our previous schedule. Val took control and just let us know what our new itinerary and flight schedules were. There is no price tag to that kind of service.
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Destination Wedding Success!
We had Val help plan and book our wedding to Mexico, and she made everything so easy for all of us! It’s so stress free knowing she will be there to assist if anything comes up (as things happen to do), and her knowledge of local tour operators and the best things to do to enjoy our vacation is excellent! Will never book a trip without her!
Stephanie B. Sicamous, BC
I recommend her to everyone
Val is so awesome. We've used her a few times and when things go sideways, just a message, and things get fixed. She's fast and efficient, and truly wants you to have a great holiday. She can do a little, as simple as flights, or a extremely detailed holiday that includes dinner reservations, private transfers, and welcome gifts. I recommend her to everyone
Sheri H., Lethbridge,AB
My go To for any of my travel needs!
Val is the first and only travel agent I will work with! I didn’t know traveling could be so easy! From the moment we connected Val’s customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail was above and beyond. Everything from choosing the destination, booking the flights, to even excursions was quick and painless. When there was a last minute gate change and flight delay with WestJet Val was on the ball and immediately let us know and helped us navigate that change leaving our entire trip stress and worry free, how it should be! Val and Wanderlust Getaway is now my go to for any of my travel needs!

Magic App Link
Alicia and I just wanted to say thanks for your help throughout this process.
We also wanted to give you some positive feedback on the info package that you included through the "Magic App Link". There is a lot of great information included here! Alicia and I have been going to Mexico for years, and the tips ring true with our experience. There are even a few that we hadn't thought of! We both thought how great it would have been to have this info the first time we went.

An Advocate To Help You!
Val is wonderful, and has helped us with booking 3 different trips. She saved us significant costs on Europe flights. She also has helped us when we had issues with flight changes, rental cars etc. It is great to have an advocate to help you when you are traveling and the unforeseen occurs.

Playa Del Carmen Getaway
Val was more than helpful finding our dream vacation, super accommodating, and always there when we had questions.
Easy to book via email, and phone call!
We would definitely book with Val again, thanks for the great knowledge and great experience !!!
Panama jack in playa del Carmen was absolutely amazing, the staff were fantastic, very catering , and very pleasant to deal with . Food at the resort was absolutely top notch. Location was perfect very close to the busy part of town, with loads to do ! And loads to see .
Did a few excursions that were phenomenal!
I have zero bad things to say about this resort, and 100% would go back in a heartbeat.

Family Vacation - Dreams Tulum
Our Family a group of 10 of us just got back from a 10 day vacation to Dream Tulum. It was wonderful and Val is the most amazing travel agent we have ever dealt with. Thank you Val for making this trip so easy and even checking in to make sure everything was as it was suppose to be. You went beyond what I ever expected. Would totally book through Wanderlust again and recommend you to anyone looking to travel with great service.

Day Of The Dead - Sandos
We definitely had a great time at the Sandos - the rooms were excellent and right beside one another, they were clean and the AC worked well. We were on the ground level, which we all loved, the monkeys were at our balcony in the trees for about 1 hour on one morning so we were pretty excited.
The Day of the Dead celebrations were really cool - a parade and they had food stands all around the restaurant circle and it was some of the best food we ate all week!
The a la carte's were great - the buffets were ok. The beach was great - even though it was small - it was clean, the water was clean and the sun was nice and hot.
We loved all the walking areas on the resort - we saw all the cenotes and the animals.
Thank you for all you did in helping us plan this out - the private shuttle was definitely worth it!
I'll be in touch in the New Year to plan our next trip - likely in Oct/Nov again.
Thanks!
Nicole and family
