Been going to Mike for all my vacations for years. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my vacation plans. He always finds me killer deals and takes care of all the details.

Mike booked our latest vacation to Negril Jamaica (January 2015) from Hamilton. Great small airport with easy accessibility. We stayed at "Sunset at the Palms" which is an all inclusive, adult only, treehouse style rooms resort. Being a smaller resort (85 rooms) makes it very quiet and more personable. The property was very lush and well… maintained. The food was very good! Always plentiful and a great variety. The beach area was the best of all the resorts on Bloody Bay. A short walk (across a busy street maned by a crossing guard) brought you to the resort's private beach, complete with

I'm one of the worst procrastinators that I know. I left booking a trip (for a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid) to Punta Cana until the very last minute. There were no rooms available on the dates that I needed to be there. Mike, with his excellent negotiation skills and little bit of magic made it happen. I'm eternally grateful to Mike, not only for getting me to the nuptials but also for organizing one of my favourite vacations ever.

Mike arranged the perfect spring break vacation for my family this year at Marina El CID in Puerto Morales in Mexico. All transfers went without a hitch and by far the best service we have seen yet at a resort. We are going back there as soon as we can! And we never visit the same place twice! Thank you Mike! I also loved the convenience of the blue pack he gave us. It was so handy and everything was in one place. Sometimes it's the little things that make a huge difference!
