Below, you'll find answers to the most common questions about booking with me.
So...how does this work?
We’ll start with a quick planning session to discuss your travel goals and determine if we’re a good fit. From there, I’ll recommend 2-4 options tailored to your vision, and we’ll refine the plan together until it’s perfect.
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll create a reservation and send a payment link. After you've looked everything over and paid the deposit, you’ll get a sleek, digital itinerary with everything you need to make your trip effortless. Anything additional, like flights or excursions, can be added on as they're booked.
How do you get paid?
Every time you book travel online, a commission is built into the price—whether you use a travel advisor or not. When you book through me, that commission comes to me instead of a big booking site, and the price you pay remains the same.
Because I focus on trusted partners like Sandals Resorts and Virgin Voyages, I don’t need to charge extra fees. You get expert guidance, personalized recommendations, and added perks, all without spending more than you would booking on your own.
Do you charge fees?
For Sandals Resorts and Virgin Voyages, I don’t charge a planning fee when you use my affiliate link. This allows me to provide you with expert recommendations, exclusive perks, and full support at no additional cost.
If you’d like me to handle the booking for you—especially for trips outside of these brands—I charge a fully refundable planning fee, which will be returned to you once you depart for your trip. This ensures we’re both committed to turning your travel plans into reality and protects the time and care I dedicate to crafting your perfect getaway.
Is it cheaper to use a travel advisor?
If finding the cheapest rate is your goal, sites like Expedia are your best bet.
But if your time is valuable and you’d rather not spend hours hunting for the best vacation deal, that’s where I come in.
My clients choose me for expert guidance, stress-free planning, and a personalized experience—not just for the lowest price. While I sometimes have access to exclusive rates or perks, the real value I provide is in the time, effort, and expertise I save you.
Ultimately, it’s about getting the best experience for your money. If you want a dream vacation without the hassle, I’m here to make it happen.
How much does a vacation package cost?
For a 7-night luxury getaway, my clients typically budget at least $5,000 per person, including flights, upgrades, and excursions. While Sandals Resorts and Virgin Voyages offer options that start lower, most travelers find that investing in upgrades and extras creates the unforgettable experience they’re looking for.
I don’t plan cheap vacations; I plan exceptional ones. A well-designed trip isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about making your vision a reality.
Why should I use your affiliate link?
When you book through my affiliate link, you’ll receive the same deals and promotions offered directly by Sandals or Virgin Voyages—but with the added benefit of my expert guidance and support. From recommendations to troubleshooting, I’m here to make sure your trip is seamless and stress-free.
Plus, you’ll have the convenience of managing and viewing your own reservation at any time, without needing to contact me.
As a thank-you, I also provide exclusive complimentary perks, like private transfers or spa treatments, to enhance your experience and make your vacation even more memorable.
How do I use your affiliate link?
On each brand's page on my website, you’ll find a link to their official site. When you click it, you’ll be redirected to my affiliate page—just look for my name in the header or footer to confirm.
From there, book your vacation as usual, and it will automatically be tied to my account. If you need assistance, please email me after booking, as I don’t always receive traveler details. I won’t contact you about your reservation unless you reach out to me, ensuring you have full control over your trip.

What’s the difference between booking through you or directly with the company
When you book through me or my affiliate link, you get all the same prices and promotions offered directly by Sandals or Virgin Voyages—but with added benefits. I provide personal recommendations, exclusive perks, and expert support to help ensure your trip is seamless and memorable.
While I’m available to assist with major questions or concerns, booking through my affiliate link also gives you full control to manage and view your reservation directly with the company. It’s the best of both worlds: independence in planning, paired with a trusted advisor when you need it.
What happens after I book?
Once your deposit (or full payment) is made, you’ll receive a confirmation email directly from the travel provider. From there, you can manage your reservation and receive updates, including payment reminders and important travel information, directly from the company.
If you need assistance adding flights, excursions, transfers, or other details, feel free to email me. I’m here to provide guidance and make adjustments as needed, ensuring everything goes smoothly for your trip.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Both Sandals Resorts and Virgin Voyages make it easy to secure your trip with a deposit and pay the remaining balance over time—interest-free. The final balance is typically due 60 days before departure, giving you plenty of time to plan your dream getaway.
Can I book last-minute trips?
Yes, last-minute bookings are possible through my affiliate links if availability permits. Keep in mind that payment in full is required, and options may be limited. For the best experience, I recommend planning your trip well in advance.
