About Me

The flawless 7-mile beach in Negril, Jamaica
The flawless 7-mile beach in Negril, Jamaica

I am a Travel Advisor specializing in adults only all-inclusive vacations. My husband and I have traveled to the Caribbean 7 times, including six trips to Jamaica and one trip to the island of Exuma in the Bahamas. I am familiar with the adults only all-inclusive brands Couples Resorts, Sandals Resorts, and Secrets Resorts. I am certified in AMR Resorts, Sandals Resorts, Marriott, Disney, Universal Studios, Royal Caribbean, and many more!

I am a full-time teacher with a passion for travel! After spending years assisting other people in making their travel plans, I decided to finally take the next step and officially become a Travel Advisor. I am always willing to help people conduct research, share my knowledge, and answer any questions they might have. I have a YouTube channel with helpful videos of the various places we've visited. My goal is to help people get the most for their hard-earned money and plan the vacation that is perfect for them!

Visiting Jamaica

Jamaica is the island I have the most expertise in. I have stayed at a total of 5 adults only all-inclusive resorts there and have visited the areas of Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Negril. I am a certified Jamaica Travel Specialist and have certificates for both general Jamaica Travel and also Jamaica Weddings & Honeymoons.

We had a wonderful week at Couples Tower Island. Ariana got us off to a great start with a pass for ClubMoBay and the rest of the week was sheer delight. She was very responsive in arranging our vacation and even checked in with us several times during the week to make sure everything was perfect. Thanks Ariana.

7 Mile Beach
Reviewed By Beach couple - Cleveland | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Ariana had a lot of knowledge along with first hand experience of the destination. She was extremely helpful providing insight into the arrival and departure procedures. When traveling to a foreign country, this is something extremely important to make the customs process go smoothly. Ariana was kind enough to answer our many questions regarding our travel and resort stay prior to our departure. She was also able to pre-book our outings and dinners at the resort. Her assistance certainly alleviated a lot of stress and anxiety when traveling to a new place.

Sandals Grande Antigua was our favorite Sandals trip so far! We absolutely loved the beach and the water. We enjoyed how spre...

It's a small resort that is easy to get...

Couples Swept Away

Couples Swept Away is our absolute favorite resort! We have visited 5 times: First in 2019, then in 2020, 2021, and twice in 2023. On our very first trip, we fell in love with the flawless beach, welcoming staff, and fantastic food. The daily and nightly activities are enough to keep us busy and entertained without feeling too much like a party....
