About Me

My husband and I on your Honeymoon to Sandals
My husband and I on your Honeymoon to Sandals

I believe every trip should feel effortless, personal, and extraordinary from the first conversation to the moment you return home.

I am Jill Bechtel, a boutique luxury travel advisor and Independent Magic Maker® affiliated with Off to Neverland Travel®, an EarMarked by Disney Authorized Travel Agency based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I specialize in luxury honeymoon planning, Sandals and Beaches Resorts, Walt Disney World® Resort vacations, Adventures by Disney®, ocean and river cruises, European travel, and milestone family vacations for couples and families nationwide.

My passion for travel is not theoretical. I have personally sailed the Mediterranean on Norwegian Cruise Line, explored the coastlines of Alaska on a cruise, studied abroad in Italy, hiked the Acropolis in Athens, walked the ruins of Pompeii, sailed to Malta, and honeymooned in a Butler Suite at Sandals Negril, an experience worth over $20,000 that a trusted travel advisor secured for a fraction of that cost. That honeymoon changed my career. It showed me exactly what travel should feel like, and it is the standard I hold for every client I work with.When couples and families search for a luxury honeymoon travel advisor, a Sandals Resorts specialist, a Disney vacation planner, or a Caribbean all-inclusive expert, I am the advisor who has lived the experiences I recommend. My suggestions do not come from a brochure or a booking site. They come from real, firsthand knowledge of the destinations, resorts, ships, and itineraries I sell.

Here is what working with me actually looks like. We begin with a personalized discovery consultation designed to understand not just where you want to go but how you experience the world. From there I build a completely custom travel plan around you, monitor pricing after booking, apply promotions as they become available, and coordinate every detail through your departure. Through my supplier relationships I can access honeymoon packages, complimentary room upgrades, resort credits, and butler amenities that are simply not available on any public booking site. My clients consistently arrive to find something special waiting for them at check-in, something they never would have known to ask for.And when something goes wrong, because occasionally travel does, my clients send me a text and go back to enjoying their trip. That is my job, not theirs.

I specialize in the following travel experiences:Luxury honeymoons and romance travel in Jamaica, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Turks and Caicos, Antigua, Grenada, Curaçao, and the Bahamas at Sandals and Beaches Resorts. European honeymoons and luxury itineraries across Italy, Greece, Spain, France, England, and the Mediterranean. Ocean and river cruises for couples, honeymooners, and families on Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, and beyond. Walt Disney World® Resort vacations and Adventures by Disney® itineraries for families and couples. Milestone travel including destination weddings, anniversaries, babymoons, and first family vacations.

I hold two master’s degrees, in Deaf Education and Educational Leadership and I bring the same philosophy of deep personalization I used in the classroom to every trip I plan. No two travelers are ever the same. No two itineraries should be either.If you are searching for a honeymoon travel advisor who specializes in Sandals Resorts, a luxury Caribbean travel planner, a Disney vacation expert, or a cruise specialist who has personally sailed the itineraries she recommends you have found her.

Based in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Serving couples and families nationwide.

All you have to do is pack.

What My Clients Say About Working With Me

We cannot say enough good things about working with Jill. She planned our entire Europe honeymoon and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless. Every hotel, transfer, and excursion was already handled. Once we stepped off the plane, all we had to do was enjoy it. Working with Jill was hands down one of the best decisions we made as newlyweds. - Verified Client | European Honeymoon

Something went wrong at our resort and one text to Jill fixed everything. She got on the phone with actual decision makers, resolved every issue, and negotiated a complimentary future night while we were at the pool. We never missed a moment of our honeymoon. - Verified Client | Caribbean Honeymoon

I support you start to finish.

Italian Honeymoon!
Reviewed By The Carters - Raleigh, NC | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Jill did an amazing job planning our whole honeymoon and it was such an easy process. We told Jill activities we wanted to do and a budget and she took care of the rest. She communicated every detail and even gave us suggestions on places to eat and sites to see along the way. :)

Easy and Relaxing Trip!
Reviewed By Marissa1118 - Negril | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Jill helped coordinate pretty much everything for this trip!! It made it an easy and relaxing time. Without her, it would’ve been a ton more stressful and a pain to figure out. We knew exactly what to do and where to go to get to and from Jamaica. I’ve been on tons of vacations where traveling is a pain and not coordinated. Jill helped to coordinate getting my husband certified in scuba diving and that was so helpful as well. We had a wonderful time thanks to Jill!!!

Five Countries, Two Weeks, ZERO stress!
Reviewed By HanBanAndHerMan - Bradenton, FL | Traveled to Europe
We cannot say enough good things about working with Jill! She planned our entire Europe trip to Spain, Italy, Norway, Portugal, and France, and somehow made the whole experience feel effortless for us. She really took the time to get to know my husband and me, learning about how we like to travel, what we enjoy, and what kind of memories we wanted to create. This was not some generic itinerary. Every country and every experience felt personal and thoughtfully chosen just for us. One thing we really appreciated is that Jill has personally been to some of the places we visited, so her recommendations came from real experience. She also handled EVERYTHING from the hotels, to the private transfers and all of our excursions. Once we stepped off the plane, every detail was already taken care of. We never felt stressed or overwhelmed. All we had to focus on was enjoying our time together as newlyweds. Working with Jill was hands down one of the best decisions we made. As our first time travelling internationally, she made it easy, more meaningful, and completely eliminated our stress. I cannot wait to book our next trip!

We had an amazing experience working with Jill Bechtel!
Reviewed By Marissa123 - La Toc, St Lucia | Traveled to St Lucia | South Africa | Africa
We had an amazing experience working with Jill Bechtel Travels LLC to plan our 1-year anniversary trip to St. Lucia! Jill made the entire process easy and stress-free, and she was incredibly responsive throughout our trip. When a few of the things we had booked weren’t provided as expected, Jill didn’t hesitate to step in and make sure things were made right. She was attentive, professional, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. It meant so much knowing we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about making our anniversary trip special. We highly recommend Jill Bechtel Travels LLC and will definitely be using her again for our future travels! ??????

Wedding AirBnB
Reviewed By Jeff - Richboro, PA | Traveled to Massachusetts | USA
I contacted Jill because I needed a quick AirBnB for a wedding I have at the end of the month. I paid her Platinum Membership so having access to her is amazing for trips like this. I told her when and where I needed an AirBnb. She came back with an amazing option and had it booked in minutes, she also got me a rental car! She is always so responsive and makes the best suggestions.
