Reviews for Island Getaways LLC
nancy and her husband know their stuff! They researched places for us based on what we wanted. Her website has her own vacation pictures, so you know they are not doctored up for promo purposes. She personally stays at these locations, therefore can tell you firsthand about what you will experience.
Nancy for the most part was very helpful, we had also heard great things about her so we called her to help us with our travel needs. We booked pretty far in advance ( a little less than a year) so we would not have to worry about not getting in where we wanted, and also so we could pay it off before we left. There would be some times when I would call and leave messages and e-mail her and she would not respond for weeks, which made me nervous. When we actually got in touch with her and were talking on the phone, she acted as if we were her only clients and she was very nice and helpful, she just seems out of touch at times...and also a little scatter brained at points. A few times I had to remind her of things we wanted answers to several times before she would remember to e-mail us or call us back with the answers. I'm sure that is due to her being really busy. But she did not lead us astray on our honeymoon destination and we had an amazing time so we are thankful to her!
Nancy Finn of Island Getaways was a joy to work with. She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and asked questions to determine what resort may work best for us. She gave us a couple of choices and the information to make an informed decision. She stayed in contact with us up until our wedding to make sure we had updated flight changes. She even contacted the manager at the all-inclusive resort to let him we were "guests" of her's. Our honeymoon was nothing but memorable.
We had an enjoyable experience with Island Getaways and highly recommend her.
I LOVED working with Island Getaways! Aimee was SO helpful in answering my questions and helping us pick our PERFECT HONEYMOON!!! She has first hand knowledge of the resorts that made it super easy to get our questions answered. The price of our honeymoon acutally went down after we booked the trip and we got the lower price. She contacted me with the price change -- it is so refreshing to work with honest vendors. Would refer Island Getaways over and over and over again! 5 + Stars!!
We used Nancy to book our anniversary trip last September and it was by far the best trip ever! I researched travel agents for a great deal of time before we decided to go with My Island Getaways and I could not imagine using anyone else! I have heard nothing but amazing things about them and I am always referring clients their way! Nancy & her staff was always easy to get in touch with and they were very prompt in getting back to me with questions/emails/itinerary. They made the planning of our trip and breeze and we will always use her in the future!
5 stars by far :)
Nancy Finn and her staff at Island Getaways were absolutely phenomenal. They all went above and beyond to make sure that we had exactly what we wanted. Anytime we had a question, they had an answer--and usually that day. If they were not immediately reachable, they responded within a day either via email or phone. I feel like they bent over backwards for us for all of our concerns about traveling for our honeymoon. They worked VERY hard for us and never left us with a feeling of wanting more. It totally showed once we got to our destination and everything was taken care and as they said it would be--perfect! We always felt like we were taken care of, and we never once felt lost, confused, or anything but relaxed and stress-free. I cannot rave enough about Nancy and her crew. They will forever be our travel agents especially for sandy getaways. They truly went above and beyond all our expectations, and my wife and I could not be more pleased and impressed by their service and commitment.
Island Getaways LLC is a fantastic vendor to work with. When I first contacted this vendor I had a couple honeymoon locations that I could not decide on. They took the time to tell me what each location had to offer and after asking me questions of what my husband and I were looking for in a honeymoon we came up with a location. After I booked the honeymoon, I had lots of questions and my emails and phone calls were responded to in a timely manner. They never made me me feel like I was asking too many questions or that I was an annoyance, but like I was their only customer. I have nothing but positive things to say about Island Getaways LLC and I would use them again in the future and have recommended them to friends already.
Nancy and her staff were amazing, from booking the honeymoon to letting us know what excursions to go on. We booked a helicopter ride to St. Lucia last minute, day before wedding, and it was no problem at all. We even got upgraded to vip when we arrived and had a nice note from Nancy upon arrival. She was amazing and our honeymoon was everything we expected it to be. I will continue to rave about it for years to come and would definitely recommend her to my friends and anyone who asks about our honeymoon.
Thanks so much Nancy!!!!
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! We are so truly grateful for everything you've done for us on our trip. As you know we got engaged!! And it was the most romantic, beautiful thing I could ever imagine. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the general manager Brian and the guest services manager Karen who were soo grateful to have us. I couldn't believe it when they said we were upgraded to the Romeo and Juliet honeymoon suite w/ butler service, and to top it off, Karen gave us Bertrum who's like the lead man there because he heard of us and wanted to be a part of it. When we got to the suite he first lead us into the bedroom and there were rose petals everywhere!!! in the tub, toilet, you name it with candles all around and a bottle of champagne. When I turned the corner they had spelled out "Ashley will you marry me" In fresh flowers, orchids maybe and then two dove towels w/ a note about love and happiness. Spence had to ask Bertrum for the bag haha bc he wouldn't give it to him. He got down on the knee and proposed and we sipped champagne! The only thing was the butlers stood there the whole time and didn't leave room for much privacy but we were in such shock it was fine. After they left I just bawled my eyes out....my ring is simply gorgeous and everyone at the resort kept asking about us. We never had such better service, the people were truly incredible. And to top it off..we met a Canadian couple who were professional photogrophers and took a engagment photoshoot of us for free! As soon as they send the disk we'll give you pics. I just wanted to say how much we appreciate everything you went throught to make this such a special event for us. Words can't express our gratitude
We love Nancy! We just had a beautiful wedding in Excellence Punta Cana. Nancy was way more than I could've asked for. She was very helpful, always available, sweet, funny, and she made sure that we only had the best during our wedding/ honeymoon trip. She even got my friends a room upgrade! I will definitely continue to use Island Getaways for my future trips to the caribbean. We now have a travel agent for life. Gracias, Gracias, Gracias, it was a pleasure having you be part of the most important time of our lives.
We just got back from our honeymoon to the Sandals Royal Bahamian. This trip was amazing, the food and the resort were fantastic. The employees at the resort are the kindest people and really go above and beyond to ensure that you have a great time, we are already talking about when we are going to go back to the Royal Bahamian. We work with Nancy Finn and thank goodness that we did. A few days before we were to leave for our honeymoon to Sandals Ocho Rios in Jamaica, Hurricane Dean was making his way right towards Jamaica. Nancy took action and was able to move our honeymoon to the Bahamas, not only was she able to move our destination she was also able to get us one of the best rooms at the resort...much nicer than what we originally booked and paid for. I honestly have to say that if we hadn't booked through Nancy, I'm not sure we ever would have had a honeymoon...and if we did it most certainly wouldn't have been right after the wedding as originally planned. Nancy is awesome and I can't thank her enough!!!
All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!! I guess you are never too old to learn something new. I used to book all my trips over the internet because I didn't feel that a travel agent added any value. I was WRONG!! I guess it just meant that I was dealing with the wrong agent. The trip to Sandal's Regency St. Lucia was unbelievable. The concierge level room and separate check in area was stress free. The mention of your name and Island Getaways was an immediate ticket to a service level that I have never experienced before in the Caribbean. The complimentary room upgrade that you negotiated for us was totally unexpected, but very much appreciated. It took me a little while to adjust to the phone calls checking up on us and making sure that everything was too our liking. It didn't cost me a nickel more to book with you, yet I felt like a visiting dignitary because of all the attention that we received. I have never met the general manager of a hotel. On this trip, I met at different times, the three top managers of this Sandals. How do you do this? You are total professionals and your contacts make you a virtual embassy in a foreign land. You have a convert for life.
We knew that we wanted to have a Caribbean honeymoon, and had vaguely heard of St. Lucia, but didn't know where to start. Instead of struggling through the process alone, we randomly chose an internet site to hopefully find somebody more experienced than us....and we couldn't have been luckier. Nancy was an outstanding asset From the very beginning, she answered our many questions, booked the vacation that we wanted, and her personal request for an upgrade to get the "VIP Island Getaways treatment" was successful! (And free for us!) We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nancy after the wonderful experience in St. Lucia and the invaluable assistance she provided to make that experience the honeymoon of our dreams.
just wanted to thank you for helping us plan an amazing honeymoon! I'm so glad you convinced us to go to Excellence Playa Mujeres - everything was absolutely amazing and we couldn't have asked for it to go any better! The grounds, the food, the drinks, the service - everything was great! We were able to try every single restaurant and we had the best servers!! Our rooftop suite was amazing and our trip could not have been more romantic with all of the little extra touches - champagne in the room, rose petals on our dinner tables and bed, bubble bath, everything! Carlos did leave a voice message one day but did not leave a call back number, so we never met up with him, but I did meet up with a couple of girls and I think they all loved it too! It was funny because we actually saw your Sandals Hummer parked at the Holiday Inn when we got back!! We were trying to think of something that went wrong or something that could have gone better, and seriously we couldn't think of anything - and Nick is picky because he works at a hotel! I have already given your name to all my engaged friends and am refering EPM too! Nick and I are already thinking of a first anniversary trip and just know that you have a client for life - you really know your stuff (Nick kept saying that the whole trip!!) and we will call you anytime we can get away (hopefully sooner than later!) I already have my eye out on that new Excellence in Jamaica whenever that is finished!
My husband and I got married at El Dorado Royale on February 2008. With 30 of our closest friends and family in attendance we exchanged vows in a small white chapel facing the beautiful Caribbean Sea. It was amazing day that we and our guest will next forget. Before meeting with Nancy I had done my own research on possible locations for our wedding. But with so many options to choose from it was wonderful having someone as knowledgeable as Nancy working on our side. We told her exactly what we had in mind and she highly recommend El Dorado Royale. Four months before our wedding my husband and I planned a trip to the resort to check everything out. We were not disappointed. The resort, food, staff and everything were amazing! We couldn't wait to bring all our friends and family there because we knew they would love the resort as well. Nancy took care of everything for us and our guest. She even hooked us up with our own individual Casita during our wedding stay plus she called us shortly after we arrived to see how everything was going. It put us at ease knowing she was only a phone call away. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back.... thanks Nancy for everything.
Working with Nancy Finn was a flawless experience. We worked with her for over a year to plan our wedding and honeymoon at Sandals Antigua. At every turn and every change, she was one step ahead of us. All our questions were answered, all our concerns addressed. Our trip came and went and we couldn't of asked for a better stay. Antigua isn't only a beautiful island, but it's full of friendly people. Our stay at Sandals was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we were greeted at the airport to the day we departed, Sandals exceeded our expectations.The beach was the perfect location for our wedding and the wedding staff made us feel like king and queen for the day. Everything about our stay was fabulous! From our butler, the food, to the sheets on our bed - there isn't one complaint and we can not wait to go back! Nancy wasn't only helpful, but she was very personable - you can really tell she loves her job and all her clients. One of the many reasons we will book with her again!
If you are searching for a travel agent for your next getaway, look no further. Nancy Finn is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and is always there to answer your questions. I first contacted Nancy when I was planning my honeymoon to St. Lucia. Nancy told us the pros and cons of several resorts on the island. My husband and I decided to stay at Sandals Grande for the first half of the trip, and Ladera for the second half. Those turned out to be the best decisions we have ever made. Both resorts exceeded our expectations. The views were out of this world! Nancy suggested room categories that were not only in our price range, but were absolutely perfect rooms. We were thrilled when we received some extras and upgrades which Nancy provided us with. I would highly recommend Nancy Finn as a travel agent to any of my closest friends and family members. Thank you for helping us plan our dream honeymoon. We look forward to working with you again in the near future!
Words truly cannot express how happy and thankful we are for booking our honeymoon through Nancy.... she put all of our troubles at ease and helped our planning process run so smoothly from the very beginning when helping us to choose the right resort for us to the very end when making us VIP clients and getting us a HUGE upgrade at our resort She was VERY patient to work with and was extremely responsive to all of our questions and concerns along the way. We honestly had the best week of our lives on our honeymoon at Sandals Montego Bay and we are so appreciative for all of Nancy's help and expertise in getting us there!! She sent us information along the way for the excursions/adventures and also helped us to get registered for the 'honeymoon benefits' for sandals. She truly kept us on track and the 8 days in Jamaica were the most relaxing, worry-free days of our lives (which was MUCH needed after 14 long months of wedding planning). We couldn't be happier with how our honeymoon turned out and we are thrilled that we now have such a wonderful travel agent that we will use for years and years to come for all of our vacations! Thanks again for such a PERFECT honeymoon.
