About Me

SANDALS AND BEACHES,HONEYMOONS,EUROPE,RIVER CRUISE

With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, I bring both expertise and a genuine passion for exploring the world. My journeys have taken me extensively throughout the Caribbean and Europe, giving me firsthand knowledge that I use to craft unforgettable travel experiences for my clients.

As a Sandals and Beaches Resorts Platinum Elite Travel Advisor, I’ve personally visited each resort multiple times. This means you’re not just booking a vacation—you’re creating a personalized journey with someone who truly knows these destinations inside and out. From the moment you begin planning to the day you return home, I’m your trusted partner every step of the way.

Even while returning from a destination, I find myself thinking about which of my clients would love it most—and where I should explore next to better serve them.

Italy holds a special place in my heart, from its vibrant piazzas and serene vineyards to its rich history and timeless traditions. River cruises throughout Europe are another favorite of mine, offering one of the most relaxing and immersive ways to experience multiple destinations in a single journey.

The most rewarding part of being a travel advisor is helping my clients turn their travel dreams into reality. I am committed to delivering peace of mind, exceptional service, and truly unforgettable experiences that create lasting memories.

Honeymoon
Reviewed By Destination wedding - New York | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
We cannot thank Margaret enough for helping us make our dream wedding in Jamaica come true! It was 2 years in the making, which finally all came together this August! Margaret was extremely helpful throughout the entire process! She checked on us on the way down, contacted the resort before we got there to make sure we were well taken care of, and even checked in after we got home. It’s just that personal touch that really is appreciated and makes you feel like they really care! Thank you again for all of the help, Margaret! It all would’ve been so much more stressful, putting it all together and making it happen, if it weren’t for you!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing vacation
Reviewed By Shannon - Pennsylvania | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Margaret Ann planned our family's first trip abroad. She was so patient and helpful! She told us where to start and places to check out.(waring! I'm long winded with my review...LOL!) We flew into Dublin Airport, rented our car then started our journey, First stop Hyatt Centric The Liberties Dublin two days, next, one night at the Granville Hotel in Waterford. Our Cork journey was next, we journeyed to Blarney Castle, (Blarney stone I did not kiss...lol! ) the grounds and the gardens are a must see!!! Onto the Kingsley Hotel(one night here) where we were happy to rest our feet the restraunt there was amazing, the food eas delicious! with lots of laughs, it was a lovely stay! We then drove into the stunning views of Killarney the mountains and valleys are something to behold! Pictures do not do it justice! Two days at The International Hotel , old world charm! (But not air-conditioned lol! Only certain rooms) the concierge I'll call him Z was informative helpful went out of his way! Shopping in Killarney is all things Irish...lol! The National Park is breathtaking! Ladies View is a spot to admire! I think more time is definitely needed in Killarney! Off to Clifden, Co. Galway,( two nights)went to Abbeyglen Castle lovely views, rumor has it its haunted (my young adults felt a presence, so they say. Lol!) Friendly n helpful staff! Guys restraunt in the town of Clifden is a must stop! Amazing food! Then we finished with Dromoland Castle (5 stars for a reason!) Amazing staff!!! Our room was built in 1730 older than the US! The grounds are lovely! We even met the resident Falcon! To end our trip at Dromoland, was.. well very greatful to Margaret Ann! Then we left out of Shannon airport (named after me of course! Lol!) So you now know my family's Amazing journey! MARGARET ANN Shannon Marcinonis ??
