My wife and I celebrated our 20 Year Marriage Anniversary at Secrets Akumal. This was our first adult All-Inclusive resort and it was the best ever. Ultimate All-Inclusive Travel has been assisting us for our vacation guidance, advice, and the best bang for our buck. Secrets Akumal was the perfect combination of everything we love. The building design is classy and quality. The rooms are nicely decorated and everything worked perfectly with no problems. There was plenty of space in the bathroom area. The closet and drawers were roomy. The bed and pillows were of nice quality and comfortable. All the restaurants were great. The pool areas were so pretty and the landscaping lovely. This beach is gorgeous. There were plenty of grass thatched umbrellas and lounge chairs. The greeters was great! We had a great time and will be returning with friends!!!

We are very experienced travelers.

We had a fantastic time on our vacation to the Haven Resort! By far the most beautiful resort we have been to, the best food we have ever had, and top notch service!

The resort is really laid back and relaxing which was exactly what we wanted and was great for us after the two weeks of hard times in our family, but if someone was wanting a little more entertainment and activity…then this probably would not be the place for the them.

The water circuit in the spa is a MUST! We went every day after our work out. It was so relaxing!

One more comment about the Resort. We have never been to a resort where they anticipated what you needed like this resort did. Never had to ask. They just knew what we needed. We would put our empty water glass down and see how long it took for them to notice. It was seconds. They refilled our wine glasses without us even noticing sometimes! Superb customer service!

We just wanted to thank you so much for giving us this awesome vacation we wouldn’t have been able to afford without the promotion you were able to find for us. We were able to really get to know the workers and no waking up early to save a spot by the pool. We are still speaking Spanish today. 😂

Again thank you so much!

The Iberostar Bavaro Grand in the DR was stunning, quiet and relaxing. The property was well maintained and the staff was excellent.. I wanted an all adult resort and that’s exactly what we got. Sharon did an excellent job providing us with everything we needed to have a stress free vacation. Thanks again Sharon and I’ve recommended Ultimate Travel to several of my friends. Thanks again. We will definitely return to the DR in the future.

My new wife and I started working with Cheryl Wilson mid-2015 until July of this year. Cheryl was a fantastic help for us, and made our whole destination wedding much easier. I could not imagine doing all the travel arrangements by myself. When I first was looking for a travel agent, she easily stood out by calling me which made it feel much more personable. I would highly recommend her as she is patient, fair and will look for the best deals possible for you. Furthermore, she was very responsive and communicated well with my guest and me. Every one of my guest that booked through her, had nothing but positive things to say. This was my first time using a travel agent and I would quickly do it again. As far as the resort, I have been there previously so I knew what to expect. Nice hard working people, with good food and an endless amount of entertainment. Once again thank you Cheryl for help making a memorable trip even better!

Our first time traveling (even first time on a plane) and it was fabulous! Cheryl Wilson is absolutely amazing at planning vacations. Cheryl helped me with every step of the way where I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our trip to Jamaica was completely worry free and it was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to plan my next trip where I will definitely be contacting her! Thank you so much Cheryl! You are amazing!!

First Vacation out of the country for my boyfriend and I and it was absolutely amazing. I would like to Thank Eric for helping book this vacation to Punta Cana in DR and recommending the Secrets Cap Cana resort. I was having second thoughts on staying there and I am so glad he talked me out of it. From the beginning of our vacation to the end, everything was perfect. Resort was stunning , food and entertainment was great, and the staff were incredible. Definitely coming back. I already referred a couple of my friends to book a vacation with Ultimate Travel and planning on contacting Eric soon to book our next trip, this time with our kids just trying to decide were to go next. I’m sure he will recommend the perfect resort and place for this trip as well. Thank you!

This was our first all inclusive vacation so we had a ton of questions. Sharon Millar was very patient and helped us find the perfect place for a much needed vacation. The Iberostar Grand Paraiso is a beautiful resort! From the minute we stepped off the plane, everything was taken care of and we were truly pampered. Thank you so much for all of your help! We will definitely return to Ultimate when we plan our next vacation.

We love Beaches Negril! This is our third vacation at Beaches Negril and we already miss it. Some of the staff members actually cried when we left. My children said we’re home when we arrived. My 13 year old son became a certified PADI scuba diver! Ultimate All-Inclusive travel took care of everything! I always call them for all of my travel needs!

Hi Dani!

We just wanted to send you a quick thank-you for all of your help in designing the perfect honeymoon for us. We had a blast! Our favorite? Being able to skip the looonnnggg tourist card line at the airport because we had ours! Pretty sure we made everyone mad haha!

You will definitely hear from us in the near future regarding a family vacation for August of next year. Your ears should have burned for the latter part of June and early part of this month as we’ve done nothing but bragged about how fantastic you are! Pretty sure we’ve landed one of the best in the business.

All the best to you!

I just came back from the amazing vacation you planned for us at Excellence Cancun Riviera, and just wanted to thank you so very much for our wonderful trip. I thought you may like some feedback and also to give you some thoughts about what we may like for our next all inclusive vacation. First, the service was incredibly gracious. The people there really seemed to care about our comfort and truly were dedicated to making our stay as pleasurable as possible. It was on-point at every level, leaving one with the impression that they wanted us back, and that is probably the ultimate compliment as we may very well be. The grounds and the pools were impeccable. The entertainers were very talented. Our accommodations were just what we wanted: a quiet location in the more private part of the resort. We had rooms 6116 and 6117 both adjoining for our family. My wife and I, and my two daughters. There were some noisy parts of the resort, and I would have been disappointed if we were situated in those locations as we are close to 60. We like the action but not all the time. The food at times was excellent, the French restaurant and the Spice restaurant were excellent. The breakfast buffet was also very good. The lunch at the buffet was repetitive, and lunch in general was nothing special. The Fiesta Mexican night was really impressive with their fine attention-to-detail, and just the overall effort to put on such an extravaganza. They set up all day in the plaza with workers working tirelessly. The beach was as clean as could be but the water was not clear, no fault of the resort. The night scenes, with beautiful lighting throughout the resort, was beautiful and reflective of the pictures we took. All-in-all, very impressive. So now our next trip, I wanted you to consider our stay at Excellence and give us some suggestions for next time. Thank you so much and I look forward to hearing from you and partnering with you for many trips in the future.

Our trip was wonderful. No stress, no mess. We loved the El Dorado Royale Resort and the friendliness of all those that went the extra mile to make our stay a happy one. Beautiful place, wonderful weather. It was helpful knowing all the details down to the shirt color of our transfer company. Thanks Eric for the fantastic stress free vacation.

My husband and I went to Secrets Akumal. This is our favorite all inclusive by far. Ultimate All-Inclusive Travel has been assisting us for vacation guidance, advice, and the best bang for our buck for about 11 years now. Secrets Akumal was the perfect combination of everything we love. The architecture and building design is classy and quality. The rooms are nicely decorated and everything worked perfectly with no problems. There was plenty of space in the bathroom area. The closet and drawers were roomy. The bed and pillows were of nice quality and comfortable. All the restaurants were great. The pool areas were so pretty and the landscaping lovely. Our favorite part was the beach. Usually we go to the pool and just take walks in the surf of the beach. This beach is gorgeous. We ended up spending most our time at the beach. There were plenty of grass thatched umbrellas and lounge chairs. We love to snorkel. We brought our own gear and snorkeled everyday. The fun part was looking for the sea turtles, which we found most every time we went out. I loved the bike tour from the resort. They also had the spin bikes in the pool which was different and fun. I enjoyed an exercise type activity every day. We loved the theater and the shows. My favorite was the Beatles Show. We read some bad reviews and decided that some people are just plain spoiled if they didn’t like Secrets Akumal.

We really enjoyed Finest for our Destination Wedding and would highly recommend it as a wedding or vacation destination! Thank you Eric for handling our destination Wedding at the Finest and also our Honeymoon at the Unico Resort.

After our Destination wedding at The Finest, We traveled to Unico for our Honeymoon in May 2018 and were very impressed with the resort. The local host was a very nice touch, who made you feel welcomed from the very start. We stayed in one of the suites and it was absolutely beautiful! The decor was very impressive but also authentic Mayan feel. Thank you Eric for recommending this fantastic Resort, a fitting finish to our trip.

We look forward to working with you again!

Beaches Turks & Caicos has exceeded our expectations. From before we even arrived, the resort was extremely accomodating, the service here is unbelievable. Anything you want is yours. There is a refrigerator in the room that is fully stocked with water and sodas and the room is cleaned twice daily. The food is spectacular, I had my doubts, being that this is an all inclusive resort, how good could it be? The first evening we had prawns and king crab, the second, we went to Teppanyaki restaurant and had shrimp, chicken, beef and mahi mahi. The next evening we went to a French restaurant and had black mussels, a warm goat cheese salad with a balsamic reduction dressing, beef tenderloin with a Bernaise sauce, and a cake made of dark chocolate bars, French cream and fresh strawberries and another desert with fruit and a sabayon sauce. The resort has a petite French cafe that serves specialty coffee drinks,teas, and freshly baked cookies and pastries. There is also a wood-fired oven outdoor pizza cafe, a 50’s style diner that specializes in ice cream sodas. Popcorn,cotton candy, and ice cream can be found almost anywhere. The drinks are top shelf as well, apple martinis, piña coladas, etc. The staff is amazing with the kids. They baked cookies with Elmo, went to a birthday party for cookie monster, sang songs with Bert and Ernie, treasure hunts, pool parties and the list goes on. We have gone to pick them up and they wanted to stay longer. We scuba dive twice a day and the water is clear blue and warm, around 83 degrees. The fish are beautiful and we are able to dive on our own, which is fabulous. One night we took pictures by the beach during sunset (another wonderful service offered by the resort) and they came out beautifully. I could go on and on. I would highly recommend this resort. Thank you Geoff!!!!

This is my second time booking a trip with Cheryl Wilson. She is awesome!!! Everything is taken care of with no worries. She is very informative and full of knowledge of any location you are traveling to. She loves her job and you can tell when talking to her. I will book all future trips with only her. Thanks so much Cheryl! You are the best.

Dani Rae Doro was the best travel agent I have ever worked with. She came to us with the best options and negotiated so many things to accommodate our large group. There was no detail that she missed.

We stayed at the Dreams Resort & Spa in La Romana, Dominican Republic and it was perfect for our family reunion of our former foreign exchange students. We had a total of 27 people from all over the world that attended. There was something for everyone – this will be a vacation that we will talk about for the rest of our lives!

Thank you Dani for knowing how to make things happen and always willing to go the extra mile to make our vacation special!

Big hugs from 27 very grateful people!
