Antigua the Antidote to Winter Blues!
Reviewed By TD - Chicago Il | Traveled to Antigua & Barbuda | Caribbean
Girlfriend & I went to St. James Club in Antigua thanks for Gigi suggestion and setting up. The flights were fairly hassle free despite the craziness in airports lately. The drive to & from the resort was no hassles and efficient. The room and location and amenities of the resort was a solid 8.5/10, beautiful views, pools and beach great, activities like sailing and access to snorkeling excursion was great, food was plentiful and timely and easy to access or schedule reservations, and the room had a great view on outside deck and super comfortable. Where I would take points off would be overall food quality at restaurants, service overall in the resort, lack of amenities that other resorts like Secrets or Sandals have had, and at times some attitude or unhelpfulness of the staff there. Still a solid A- vacation and glad we went, we trust Gigi in all ways and the small things above don't reflect the awesome job she does. In closing, the peninsula location and beauty and weather put this right up there as an awesome experience overall!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

An amazing trip!
Reviewed By Rob&Kel - Tuscola | Traveled to Hawaii | USA
We traveled to Oahu for the NCL island hopper cruise. We had a wonderful time on our pre and post days in Oahu, along with our cruise days. We were able to see several of the Hawaiian islands-all without packing and getting on and off planes. We tried to see and get as many experiences checked off our bucket list-Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, beaches, whale watching, road to Hana, Na Pali coast, and more. The weather has been nice, a little cooler than we expected, but still a nice escape from Illinois in February. Gigi did a wonderful job with our cruise and finding discounts-we even had a price decrease once. She offered to help us find excursions, hotels and flights. She checked in several times throughout the planning process and during our trip to make sure things were going well. Thank you Gigi!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

St. Lucia
Gigi took care of all of our travel plans for our recent trip to St Lucia. Gigi was on top of everything from the day we started planning until the day we returned home. She had ALOT to deal with as tropical storms changed all of our flights and departure and return dates but she was helping us every step of the way and it was during this time that we were EXTREMELY grateful that she was in charge as we couldn’t even imagine dealing with all this on our own. The next trip we take we will definitely have her in charge of our plans!!
