The trip was amazing. Tanya listened to what our concerns were and wants and delivered with this cruise experience

Thank you

Alaska
Reviewed By Mir&Peacho - Vancouver | Traveled to Alaska | USA
We had the pleasure of taking an Alaska cruise, and what an unforgettable trip it was! ??????
We were celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary and my 44th birthday, and honestly, everything was perfect.
Our mini-suite was beautiful, but the real showstopper was the balcony. Waking up surrounded by mountains, glaciers and the breathtaking beauty of Alaska was something neither of us will ever forget.
?? Skagway — My Birthday
We took the Duck Tour, which was such a fun way to see the town. The bus tour turned into a boat and took us onto the harbor while our host shared stories about Skagway.
?? Juneau — Mendenhall Glacier
We did the Mendenhall Glacier & Salmon Bake Tour. The walk to the waterfall was about 30 minutes each way and absolutely worth it! Then we enjoyed a delicious salmon bake under little igloo-style shelters. Before boarding, we stopped at Tracy’s King Crab Shack for a king crab leg — amazing!
?? White Pass Railway
We had THE best chowder at Skagway Brewing Company, along with perfectly cooked halibut. Then came the White Pass Rail Tour. The scenery was breathtaking — one of those moments where you think, “How is this even real?”
At the end, my husband surprised me with a beautiful ring. ????
Our Premier Package made everything even better, with unlimited top-tier drinks and specialty dining. Catch by Rudi was our favorite! We also pre-booked the crab shack, and the seafood boils were HUGE!
One of our biggest highlights was 360: An Extraordinary Experience. The stories, food and wine pairings were incredible!
If you've ever been on the fence about an Alaska cruise, just do it! This trip exceeded every expectation and gave us memories we'll cherish forever. ??
A special shout-out to our amazing travel agent, Tanya Bara of Tropic Like It's Hot Travel Group, for helping make this incredible trip possible! ?????
Tanya Bara responded
"I absolutely love helping you with your travels, but honestly, I love following along just as much! You two always have the best adventures, and I get to live vicariously through you a little bit.

This is the second time we have used Tanya to book our family trip and will do so again. She is on top of things, available when you need it and organized! She helped us book our cruise as well as our time before and after the cruise. She has experience and was knowledgeable about planning tours, hotels, trains which was so helpful as it was our very first cruise and trip to Europe as a family of 5. We would highly recommend Tanya!

From the first hello, Tanya has been great to work with. She was able to get us a great deal for our trip, and was very easy to get hold of, and definitely knew her stuff. We will absolutely book through Tanya again. We stayed at the Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, and she got us a deal to upgrade to Altitude which included having the swim up pool. It was perfect, because we travelled with friends who have a baby (they were 2 rooms down from us).

Family memories in Mexico
Reviewed By BuckinghamFamilyMemories - Abbotsford, BC | Traveled to Puerto Aventura | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We are so grateful to Tanya for her help and expertise in planning our family holiday. We were recommeded to Tanya by a friend after already doing a month of searching for the right place to go and feeling overwhelmed with all the options when trying to find something that met all our family members needs. She immediately took the stress out of the planning in finding the perfect resort for us that met all our family needs from ensuring activities for our 19 and 21 year old and also that met the mobility needs of my motherin law who uses a walker. There was a long list of needs and she went back to the drawing board a few times when we gave her our feedback on her suggested resorts. We ended up with the perfect match at Dreams Aventura in Puerto Aventuras Mexico!! For anyone with mobility needs this was the perfect fit with everything accessible- ramps throughout resort even into the pool, small footprint, firm sand to allow access to beach and only a small lip to access the in room showers(they even provided a chair for in the shower for safety). Tanya also made everything so smooth through the process. Her trip guide was the best as it gives you all the information you didnt know you needed to know for your trip, from suggestions for packing to currency exchange input, to tips on the culture we were visiting and things to do. We will definitely use Tanya for our ongoing travel needs, especially for our dream trip to Italy one day!!! But hopefully something sooner too.

We traveled as a family of 9 to Riu Sante Fe and Riu Palace for a week following Christmas with our children aged 17-25. We all had the best time! Tanya made this whole process so easy and seamless. I was worried about travelling and organizing this many people but everything was executed to perfection. We received all or information in a timely manner, with all the details laid out including APPS we needed to download to access everything during our trip. eg. Movies on the plane, check in for the hotel to save us waiting in line, transportation vouchers to an from the airport. etc. Tanya was always available for any questions we had, before, during and even up to the moment we were heading home. At the last minute we chose to take a private ride back to the airport and she pivoted and organized a great ride that saved us so much time and money!

So so so amazing!!
Reviewed By Megan beckett - Merritt | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
10/10 as always for Tanya!
From the very beginning, she was absolutely amazing and truly cared about every single detail of our trip, our wants, needs, and budget were all met perfectly. She listens, she cares, and she makes sure everything is exactly how you want it.
Tanya honestly feels more like a friend than a travel agent with the way she treats her clients. You never feel like “just another booking” she makes you feel valued, supported, and taken care of every step of the way.
Even while we were in the Dominican Republic, when I needed help trying to change our flight, Tanya jumped in immediately. Although the change didn’t end up being successful (which was totally okay and worked out in the end), she still called on our behalf and handled all the work when I couldn’t reach them myself. That kind of dedication is rare.
This is our third time booking with Tanya, and she continues to exceed expectations every single time. If you want stress-free travel with someone who truly has your back, I cannot recommend Tanya enough — she is truly the best! ?
Tanya Bara responded
"I don’t even have the words for this — thank you so much. Reading this truly meant more to me than you know. It’s always my goal to make my clients feel supported, heard, and genuinely taken care of, so knowing that came through means everything.

Best trip yet!
Reviewed By Suly - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Portugal was beautiful and unforgettable, but Porto and Lagos stole my heart. When we go back we won’t vidit four cities because packing up and traveling from one city to another ate into our vacation time. If I could do it again, I’d stick to just Porto and Lagos. For both, the area in which the hotel was located was super walkable day or night alone or together. Felt so safe!!
Porto was absolutely breathtaking, like stepping into a dream. The hills, cobblestone streets, architecture, sunsets, and incredible food made it unforgettable. Pictures don’t do it justice.
Lagos had stunning crystal-clear waters, dramatic cliffs, perfect weather, and delicious fresh-caught fish. Being by the ocean there was an experience in itself.
As for the other two cities and the accommodations: our hotel in Coimbra had charm but very outdated, with kids size twin beds and poor AC so the nights were sweaty and uncomfortable. Lisbon, on the other hand, had a updated hotel with thoughtful touches like welcome shooters and desserts in our room. The hotel had a finger licking good hearty breakfast and it was near restaurants. Not very walkable area though. In hindsight, I would have skipped Lisbon and Coimbra altogether though.
Car services were both top notch, pick up and drop off. Super impressive service, timelines and professnalism.
The tours were so valuable to us and gave us an appreciation for the history, culture, architecture etc... I'd definitely do those again or something similar.
Tanya Bara responded
"Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your trip! I’m so happy to hear how much you loved Porto and Lagos — they truly are incredible destinations. I’m sorry Coimbra and the accommodations there didn’t meet expectations, and I appreciate your honest feedback as it helps me better tailor future recommendations.

Reviewed By Suly - Denver, Colorado | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Tanya is an absolute gem!
I’ve booked a handful of trips with her (Mediterranean cruise, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico etc..) and every single time, she knocks it out of the park. What sets Tanya apart is how in tune she is with what I like. She asks all the right questions to understand what I’m really looking for and then delivers a vacation that’s spot on.
She’s not just a travel agent; she’s incredibly mindful, caring, and proactive. You can’t get that from a website. Booking online won’t care if you’re stressed or unsure but Tanya does. That level of care and attention is rare and priceless.
She makes it easy, and she’s always responsive, which brings me so much peace of mind.
I’ve already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want a vacation without the stress and with someone who truly cares, Tanya is the one you want in your corner.

Thanks to Tanya, our family enjoyed a fantastic vacation to the Riviera Maya over Spring Break. As anyone who has planned a vacation knows, there's an overwhelming number of resorts to choose from and particularly with all-inclusive vacations, the quality of the resort can make or break the entire trip. Tanya made the whole process so smooth and easy for us - from recommending and sourcing the hotels based on our preferences to helping us book our trip and liaise with the airlines and shuttle companies, to coordinating all of our travel details into one easy to access document. It took the stress from planning away knowing she is an expert in the area. She was always accessible when I needed to reach out with questions and I would not hesitate to work with Tanya again for our next trips.
Tanya Bara responded
"Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! ?? I’m so glad your family had a fantastic Spring Break in the Riviera Maya and that I could help make the planning process smooth and stress-free. It was a pleasure working with you, and I can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure! "

I am late posting from hitting it hard at work with very long hrs from returning from my wonderful trip in Sept. but I wanted to share my experience. My friend and I took our sons and friend to the Moon Palace/Sunrise for Graduation and Tanya made everything perfect for us. She took care of everything like a little surprise that was sent to our room, a cheese/meat platter with champagne and balloons for us to say congratulations! She requested two rooms in the Mango building, however we ended up in 4006/4007' all I can say is awesome!! This was supposed to be a ocean view room but it was so close you might as well say ocean front. I am already missing the Moon Palace and can't wait to go back. Thank you Tanya, for taking care of us, handling everything and making sure everything was perfect, I just wanted to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Unforgettable Vacation
Reviewed By Sharon - Simpsonvilla, SC | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Good morning! We've returned from our unforgettable vacation to Cancun. Tanya helped me out from day one and answered EVERY single question I had- and boy did I have a lot!!! Not only that, she went above and beyond to make sure we felt like special guests by getting us into a restaurant that required reservations but had no more availability to getting us a bottle of champagne, some roses and a charcuterie board delivered to our room.
The resort itself was immaculate, they had the best customer service and was so very well organized. They made us feel so welcome the second we walked in to check in. I highly recommend doing the dolphin encounter if you have small children, and doing the private dinner on the beach.
I really cannot wait to plan my next vacation!
Thanks again Tanya!

Memorable and Fun Family Vacation
Reviewed By Krystal - katy, Texas | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
When I first started looking for a family resort in Cancun, I was so lost with all the options, my anxiety and fear of having my family of 5 visiting for the first time made it twice as stressful! Tanya reached out to me with some great options and offered trip advice that made her too good to be true! So we booked! When we got to the resort she yelled my name and it was like seeing a family member for the first time in a long time! She made sure that my entire family was taken care of! She was awesome! The resort was absolutely perfect. I can go on all day about how much we love and appreciate her! She’s not fake, or a fraud or someone who wants your money! She is a loving mother, wife, daughter and now a friend of ours that we are blessed to have! She even invited us to spend a day on a huge yacht with her family and other clients in the area! Thank you Tanya for saving us a butt load of money but most of all for giving us more memories with our girls and meeting good humble people!
Tanya Bara responded

We just got married in Cancun with 35 guests from across Canada. Tanya was incredible—handling different time zones, answering every question, and even managing some tricky guests with professionalism and patience.
She went above and beyond with personalized itineraries for every guest, including flights, transfers, hotel info, maps, and resort tips—everyone appreciated it so much! I loved how honest she was about the resort too—her transparency was refreshing.
She stayed in touch while we were in Mexico and even helped me recover a forgotten backpack from our driver within 15 minutes. Thank you, for everything! You made this experience so easy and unforgettable!
