Shawn helped us plan our 20th anniversary trip to Italy & Santorini and she was amazing! We gave her our basic itinerary and budget and she took care of everything else for us. Thanks again Shawn!

Shawn was easy to work with and helped us book the best deal for our vacation. This was my first-time staying at an all-inclusive and she was able to answer all my questions while also providing some great recommendations. I would highly recommend Shawn for all your travel needs!

A very helpful! She made it so easy!

I highly recommend Shawn for any travel needs. I had booked a new resort that was supposed to open by our travel date, but as we approached our departure, it became clear that the resort would not be completed in time. I reached out to Shawn for assistance, and she took over immediately. Shawn worked with the resort to cancel our reservation and helped us secure a different location with added perks. She also changed our flights and arranged airport transfers to and from the resort. Her communication was prompt and her recommendations were excellent. After we arrived at the resort, Shawn checked in on us to ensure everything was going smoothly. This was my first experience using a travel agent, and I can't believe I hadn't reached out to Shawn sooner. I will definitely rely on her for all our future travel needs! I cannot express enough how wonderful Shawn's service was. Thank you, Shawn!

We had an AMAZING trip to Unico 20 87. Thanks to Travelmation -Shawn Stokes Vacation Planner for planning another fabulous vacation for us. This time our first trip without the teenager! ?? We met some amazing people who we now call friends and have memories that will last a lifetime. The only bad part of the trip was that 4 nights just wasn’t long enough! If you are thinking of taking a vacation, just let Shawn book the trip!!!

Shawn was very responsive answering all of our questions, both before and after booking. We had a wonderful trip, thanks to her recommendations and planning. We’d definitely book with her again!

Shawn was absolutely wonderful to work with! I met her in a FB page when doing research for a 16 person couples trip and she offered to help. I was apprehensive at first having never met her but she was so helpful, responsive, and professional. She helped coordinate everything for our trip and there wasn't a single thing we would have changed! I can't wait to start planning our next trip!! Thanks Shawn!!!

Shawn was professional and easy to work with. She made my first time traveling out of the country a great experience. Looking forward to our next adventure!

Our experience working with Shawn to plan our family vacation was wonderful. Shawn was able to work within our budget and provide multiple options for us to choose from. The result was a fabulous experience and a new resort that not only met, but exceeded our expectations. We loved the experience. From finding great flight options and transfer options to and from the airport we were well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you Shawn!

Shawn was great throughout the entire process! I told her my dates and my requirements and she found exactly what I was looking for-under budget! She even helped me book an excursion for a discount while I was there. Will use her for all of my future trips!!

Shawn was great to work with, very responsive and knowledgable, we will be using her again for future cruises/vacations and have Already recommended her to friends!

I never even thought of using a TA, we recently moved to a new town, I saw a post about Shawn, a local TA, so I thought what do we have to lose. I contacted her and she immediately went to work getting info. Shawn new exactly where we needed to go! We were scheduled to go to Sandals, Montego Bay on May 8, for 10 days, Shawn took care of absolutely everything! On 5/5 we had a family tragedy. I called Shawn, and she immediately took care of fixing everything! She got us rescheduled, and everything moved and rebooked. We were dealing with a lot of stress, so the fact that she took all of that off our plate was amazing and I can not thank her enough for taking such good care of us. We were finally married 6/21! It was absolutely amazing I can honestly say it was a trip of a lifetime it couldn't have been more perfect! The best 10 days ever, with an amazing butler, we were well taken care of the entire time! Shawn totally out did herself taking care of us through the entire proce

She was very helpful and always available. No matter the number of questions or the changes in itinerary she was always kind. No one should hesitate on using her to plan your best vacations! Thank you, Shawn!

Shawn was our personal guide to a great vacation get away. She first helped us select our hotel after we decided on our destination, then booked our flights with little to no layover time, guided us thru the proper Chanel’s for Customs in the Dominican and back into the US that slide us past almost all others on the flight. She sure knows her chit! Thanks Shawn….your the BEST. L&B

We had an amazing time at Hyatt Zilara Cancún, all thanks to Shawn!! We were blown away by the ease of the entire trip. Everything was coordinated perfectly. We had a few bumps getting home, due to bad weather (by no fault of anyone) and Shawn was able to coordinate changing flights to get us home. She responded quickly when needed and even while we were on our flight, she had us booked to a new flight by the time we landed. It could not have been an easier trip!! She put in a lot of time making sure we were able to get home safely and in the planning process. My husband and I were so impressed with everything and will definitely be reaching out to Shawn for future travel plans!!

Shawn helped us plan our first trip to the DR and we absolutely loved it. It was so helpful to have an expert walk us through the different vibes of the resorts because the online reviews are overwhelming. I found it helpful to chat with Shawn on the phone (rather than through email) to discuss what we were looking for.

What can I say????? I can say don’t plan another vacation on your own. I told Shawn exactly what I was looking for and what my budget was and the vacation was booked!!! It was the easiest process ever. And the day we were boarding our Christmas cruise we had questions and she answered them immediately (keep in mind I tried calling Royal Caribbean myself and they couldn’t figured it out). There was no stress at all, I had options and once I selected what I wanted it was a done deal. Highly recommend you reach out to Shawn to plan your next getaway/vacation-go stress and hassle free!!!

Shawn was such a pleasure to work with. She booked our honeymoon to Excellence El Carmen and made the whole process so easy! One of the things I appreciated most about Shawn was her knowledge of the resorts. There are so many options out there, and she helped us narrow down our choices to a resort that fit exactly what we wanted. The whole process was incredibly easy. Shawn responded very quickly to emails throughout the planning process, and I knew she would be able to help if anything went wrong along the way, even once we were at the resort. I look forward to working with Shawn to plan more trips in the future!

Back to the reality of December in Indiana after a great trip to Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun ?????????THANK YOU, Shawn, for the recommendations and planning details!! We got there and back without any hiccups and felt we were able to take advantage of everything the resort had to offer.

This was our second trip working with Shawn, and once again, she made the entire experience absolutely seamless from start to finish. We were originally scheduled to travel to Secrets St. Lucia in January 2025, but when the resort’s opening was delayed, Shawn immediately stepped in and worked directly with Secrets to transition our trip to the Dominican Republic instead. She handled every detail, rebooking, accommodations, and transfers, making what could have been a stressful situation feel effortless on our end. Then, mid-2025, Shawn reached back out with incredible news: she had arranged for us to receive a complimentary trip to Secrets St. Lucia for the same length of stay as our original booking. Thanks to her diligence and advocacy, we were able to take that trip in January 2026, and once again, the process couldn’t have been easier because Shawn managed everything. One of the standout moments was her recommendation to take the ferry from the airport to the resort due to the road conditions. That suggestion alone elevated our experience; the ferry ride felt like an excursion in itself, and it’s something we never would have known to do without her guidance. Shawn truly goes above and beyond. She is responsive, detail-oriented, mindful of budget, and fully committed to creating the most magical travel experiences possible. We trust her completely and will continue to use her for all of our travel needs. We cannot recommend Shawn highly enough; she is simply the best!

Just returned from our Orlando Universal Resort (Hard Rock). The trip was fantastic! Accommodations, tickets and the attention to detail was awesome! Thanks again Shawn for everything. Recommend reaching out to Shawn for your vacation and travel needs, no issues or challenges from beginning to end to the end!

10/10 would recommend Shawn to anyone!!! She helped us book a trip for 11 people to Cancun. We were doing so much research on which resort we wanted to go to, and I found Shawn on Reddit. I don't know how we would've chosen a resort, let alone BOOK for all of our friends without her. She made the process so smooth. She sent me info to send to our friends, and they went right to her to make their reservations. She made sure our rooms were close to one another and took care of all of the communication. With my group of Type-A friends, she was perfect. ?? Next time I want to go on vacation, Shawn will be my first stop!

This was our first Virgin Cruise and our second cruise ever. We had a great time mixing both relaxation time in our room and balcony to the dinners and entertainment later in the evenings. The ocean days were highly welcomed as we needed that time to relax and take in some sun on the Perch deck! There really isn't anything negative that I can remember on this trip...it was that good! Highly recommend Shawn Stokes for the planning and the trip. She answered all of our newbie questions and the time to reply was quite impressive, she was quick and on spot! We will definitely use her again for our next cruise!

Shawn was excellent, professional and caring dealing with our needs. We basically went to the airport, got on a plane and landed in London. Then we reversed it and arrived at home safe and sound. She is the best.

Shawn did an amazing job booking our travel plans for a Mediterranean cruise! She recommended the Sun Princess and we loved everything about it. Shawn found the perfect flights for us and scheduled a transfer from the airport to the ship. She helped make our travels easier and less stressful. We had a wonderful week full of incredible memories! We can’t thank Shawn enough!!

Shawn was fantastic-so communicative and answered all of my little questions almost immediately. Even checked in during the trip to make sure I had everything I needed. I was in awe of how well everything was arranged-I barely lifted a finger for a week. I did the Rocky Mountaineer train trip from Vancouver, BC to Banff, AB. She was as involved as I needed her to be-gave her input when I asked but didn't hover! Such a great balance.

Shawn was amazing to work with! This was our first trip out of the country and she made everything so easy. She was super responsive to all our questions and planned the perfect Jamaica vacation for us. We felt comfortable the whole time and had the best trip—highly recommend her!

She made this low stress and answered all my questions.

Shawn made our trip to Mexico SO EASY! She checked in often before we left and was available for any and all questions with a quick response. She absolutely nailed every detail. Thank you so much Shawn!

Shawn was always available and positive. She was timely with her responses and always found an answer. She helped us have a hassle free vacation as we traveled with a group of 8. I would certainly work with her again! Thank you, Shawn!

We gave Shawn a challenge and she executed it perfectly! We took a very last minute much needed vacation to Maui! Last minute as in we booked it I believe 17 days before we left. Now I am generally a planner so talk about stress, Shawn took all that away for me from planning and booking everything from the most beautifully perfect accommodations for us, flights and transportation. I had to do absolutely nothing. I have never used a travel planner in the past. (I may have control issues) but after using Shawn she will be my go to from now on for any vacation big or small. Thank you Shawn for giving us the vacation we both needed so much we will be forever grateful. This is a place we have wanted to visit for 10 plus years and your recommendations on things to do, see and overall planning for this was key to us enjoying every second of the beautiful island of Maui! Mahalo ????

Shawn did an amazing job with planning and booking every hotel, to helping us out with the cruise and all of the extra internet items for our cruise and making sure we were able to get the most of our trip. She helped with changing our flights as we moved 2 months before our trip. She was with us every step of the way. We couldn’t be more satisfied. Thank you Shawn.

We had an amazing Anniversary vacation! Shawn was amazing and took care of all the plans and details, she was wonderful and answered all our questions and made everything a breeze! Consider her services for your next vacation!

From the questions I had before booking, to booking and all the questions I had over a year and even setting up all of our transportation, Shawn did an amazing job! Always quick to get back to me.

Shawn has done it again!! With her help we enjoyed a fabulous vacation on Virgin Voyages! She was 100% correct in her recommendation! She listened to the things we didn't necessarily enjoy about other cruises and was confident that we would enjoy Virgin Voyages. Let me tell you, it was soooo good! The food was literally some of the best food I've ever eaten in my life... on land or sea! The cabin was fantastic and the red hammock on the balcony was an amazing way to spend my afternoons reading! Shawn has helped us with numerous vacations already and we can't wait for the next one!! Thanks again for the 5 star service! You really are excellent at what you do!!! ??

Even with some challenges that we brought to the table, Shawn got them all ironed out and we were able to take our missions team with smooth travel plans

Thank you Shawn! Everything about our trip was incredible! The resort, the transportation, the weather - it was just the perfect getaway we needed. Until next time . . .

Shawn made sure we had everything we needed in a timely manner and made sure we had the best stress free week we could possibly have! I highly recommend using her for any of your travel needs!

I know it can sound “old fashioned” to use a travel agent, but using Shawn has been the absolute best decision I’ve made recently! Just in general she’s a great person! She’s saved me so much money and time. I have a bit of an issue just planning everything down to the last detail, and even when I do that, she executes everything to a T. Just this year we’ve booked 3 cruises, a Europe trip, and a pre cruise trip to Canada. She is very knowledgeable, about all destinations! She is someone you want in your corner for all your vacation needs!

Shawn booked us with the most amazing all-inclusive resort in Cabo! Without her, I would never have found this gem! I will definitely be reaching out to her for my future vacation plans.

We used Shawn for a group vacation to Excellence Playa Mujeres and we are so happy we did! We booked in June of 2024 for our trip in March of 2025 and she was SO patient with me and my nerves and 10,000 questions. She was able to help with our room/building request and we had one of the best views I’ve had there! Plus as an added bonus we were close to the other couple we came with - just a few rooms down! She booked our transfers as well which went smoothly too! We enjoyed working with her so much that we booked our girls trip back to Mexico for 2026 with her!!
