What a memorable trip to Europe!
Reviewed By Katie S. - Turin, Iowa | Traveled to Europe
Melia planned a pretty complicated European trip with my daughter. It included 3 countries with train travel included. The hotels, excursions, and scheduled transfers were seamless! She allowed us to personalize our trip, yet arranged and organized all the details. We had a memorable trip and have a second trip planned by Melia already!

We had such an amazing experience from start to finish!
Reviewed By Bella - Bellevue, NE | Traveled to Europe
The entire planning process was incredibly smooth, and I always felt like I knew exactly what to expect. Communication was excellent, and any questions I had were answered quickly. One of my favorite parts was the itinerary app. It made traveling so much easier. Having all of our flights, hotels, tours, confirmations, maps, and daily plans in one place meant I never had to dig through emails to find anything. It took so much stress out of traveling.
Beyond that, she was so positive throughout the entire experience. You could genuinely feel how excited she was for us, and she was always engaged with the photos and updates we shared from our trip. She made the whole experience feel personal, like we had been friends long before booking with her, even though she actually grew up with my mom. That level of care is hard to find.
I’ve already recommended her to so many of my friends and family, and I will continue to do so. If you’re looking for someone who is organized, responsive, genuinely invested in your trip, and makes the entire process enjoyable, I couldn’t recommend her more. We can’t wait to book our next adventure with her!

We just got back from an incredible 5-day family cruise on Wonder of the Seas, and we cannot thank Melia at Melia Travel Co enough! We booked this trip with our family and friends to celebrate our son's high school graduation, and it was absolute perfection. From exploring Nassau to relaxing on Royal Caribbean’s private island, everything was seamless. Melia made the entire planning process effortless and guided us every step of the way with expert advice. Thanks to her, we had a completely stress-free, relaxing vacation and made memories that will last a lifetime. If you want a travel advisor who genuinely cares and makes sure every detail goes smoothly, look no further than Melia! We will definitely be booking our next getaway with her.

Saved the day with the Van Gogh Museum tickets!
Reviewed By karen - Omaha, NE | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
Hiring Melia as our travel agent took all the worry out of my mind for scheduling activities and purchasing tickets. After our first conversation, she sent me ideas to look over and then reached out again to finalize our likes and dislikes. She was helpful in finding activities in Amsterdam I wouldn’t have known about. The biggest help was when she had to change our Van Gogh Museum tickets quickly when an unknown event came up. So glad she had our back!

Melia to the rescue!
Reviewed By Jenny from Wichita - Wichita, KS | Traveled to Virgin Islands | Caribbean
I decided somewhat last minute to plan a trip for my family, but it was right before the holidays, and I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time to research and plan like I normally do. Melia to the rescue! We did a quick consult, she came back with options that were right on target, then we were booked. She is very thoughtful, organized and responsive. I loved the app she uses to house all the communications, itinerary, planned outings - it made working with her so easy. The day we left there was potentially some airport delays and when I gave her a heads up, she was on the ready to step in and help if needed. That gave me such peace of mind. Appreciate ALL you did for us Melia!
Melia Cooper responded
"It was so much fun planning your St.. Thomas vacation. I am glad you had a chance to recharge and spend some time with your family exploring the islands. I am glad you liked the app - it is very handy! I am looking forward to partnering with you again and planning your next vacation."

The process was easy and smooth.
Reviewed By AnnInIowa - Iowa | Traveled to Riviera Maya | Quintana Roo | Mexico
We worked with Melia Travel Co for the first time and highly recommend her. I found the process to be easy and smooth. She is very organized. All of your emails are in the same place so it’s easy to track conversations. She links your itinerary to an app which has all of the information about your resort as well as your documents. She has helpful travel tips and recommendations for the area you are traveling to. She also sent texts when you arrive at your destination and back at home. She even sent a handwritten thank you note in the mail. Overall just super impressed with her service and we will be using her again.

This vacation was so simple!
Reviewed By Alicia in Lincoln - Lincoln, NE | Traveled to Puerto Vallarta | Jalisco | Mexico
Stepping away from work is hard. Actually unplugging? Even harder.
I didn’t have the time or mental energy to plan a vacation. So I did something I’ve never done… I sought help from a travel agent.
Melia made this vacation so simple I never want to plan another vacation solo.
A quick 30 minute consultation sharing my vacation goals, non-negotiables, and budget. She came back with a full proposal. I made a couple tweaks and I was on a beach.
A vacation I didn’t have to stress over and more energy for the work that mattered. Buying back your time is a power move.

Melia Made Everything So Easy
Reviewed By Nick D - Bennington, NE | Traveled to San Juan | Puerto Rico | Caribbean
My family and I recently took an amazing cruise vacation to the southern Caribbean. Melia Travel Co. made the trip absolutely seamless from the first day on! Everything from proper layover times with flights, to packing tips, to transportation to and from airports, hotels, and ship were lined up perfectly by Melia which made everything so stress-free and enjoyable. Melia did a fantastic job of providing an array of excursions and activities for all family members to choose from each day both while on the islands, as well as things onboard the ship. The Royal Caribbean Cruise and island destinations that Melia put together for us allowed our family to create a lifetime of memories each step of the way. Being able to experience places like St. Lucia, Tortola, and St. Thomas with all of their beauty, was a more remarkable paradise than I could ever imagine. We strongly recommend letting Melia Travel Co. assist you with all your future vacation. She allows you to enjoy your vacation and time away to the fullest from the very first step you take out your door!

Fabulous Alaska Cruise Vacation
Reviewed By Shannon C. - Spirit Lake, IA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
My favorite part of the trip was the variety of activities that were arranged, specifically the visit to Mendenhall Glacier and Museum. I absolutely would recommend it to friends and already have. This was one of the most well-planned trips I’ve had, from start to finish—air travel, transfers, and the cruise line were all wonderful. Melia took care of everything, and we didn’t have to do much planning ourselves. Being senior citizens, it was incredibly easy, and we didn’t have to worry about any of the details. I would definitely recommend Melia as a Travel Advisor. If we had questions, she was always quick to get us answers.

Alaska was amazing!
Reviewed By JfromCB - Council Bluffs, Iowa | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Melia had us very well prepared for our Princess cruise and was incredibly responsive to all my questions—she made the whole process so easy. She clearly knows Princess Cruises inside and out.
The cruise options she presented were spot on. She gave us choices—one-way or roundtrip, different trip lengths—and helped us narrow it down. It would’ve taken us weeks to figure that out on our own! You can tell she’s experienced with cruises and knows how to guide you in the right direction.
We had our luggage tags ready, knew exactly what to expect, and she made sure everything was taken care of in advance so we could breeze through the Green Lane and board quickly. Her customer service is truly A++. She checked in often to make sure everything was completed and done right, which I really appreciated.
The booking process was seamless, and she always gave us plenty of notice when payments were due. From the initial proposal to the booking process, helping us prepare, and even checking in while we were traveling—Melia was on it. She also followed up after the trip to see how everything went and gather feedback. Her attention to detail and commitment to improving for the future really stood out.
