About Me

Independent Travel Advisor | Bonita Getaways

I’m Shakira, an independent travel advisor and the owner of Bonita Getaways. I have been working in customer service, sales, and hospitality-related roles for several years, and I truly enjoy helping people create memorable travel experiences. My passion for travel comes from seeing the excitement and joy that vacations bring to individuals, couples, families, and groups. I specialize in planning stress-free getaways, group trips, resort vacations, and special travel experiences tailored to my clients’ needs and budgets. Whether it’s a relaxing beach vacation, a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a group retreat, I enjoy helping clients find the best options while making the planning process smooth and enjoyable. One of the things that makes me unique is the personal care and attention I give to each client. I understand that every traveler is different, so I take the time to listen, communicate clearly, and help create experiences that match what my clients truly want. I believe travel should be exciting, affordable, and memorable from the very beginning of the planning process. As someone who has worked in customer service, sales, and business management, I understand the importance of organization, communication, and reliability. My background has helped me build strong relationships with clients and provide dependable support before, during, and after travel. I especially enjoy planning tropical vacations and all-inclusive resort stays, particularly within the Caribbean. Jamaica remains one of my favorite destinations because of its beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, warm people, and relaxing atmosphere. I also love helping travelers explore destinations they may have always dreamed about visiting. For me, travel is more than just booking a trip — it’s about creating moments, memories, and experiences that people will cherish for years to come. I’m passionate about helping my clients travel with confidence and excitement, and I look forward to helping many more travelers make their dream vacations a reality.

Best family trip
Reviewed By Mag - Florida | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
We had a great time in Jamaica thanks to Bonita gataway .Shakira provided excellent services to us. Booking our holiday was hassle free especially when we had to make major changes because of hurricane Melissa, she managed everything for us I only provided where and when we wanted to go , even when we had to do name change because one family was not available at the time she took care of it for us. She was thorough in making sure we were well taken care of and happy. I would recommend her service to those who would like to work with a travel service for booking holidays.

Anniversary trip
Reviewed By VR - Jamaica | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
We had a great experience booking our vacation to Ocean Coral Spring in Jamaica with agent Shakira. From start to finish, she was responsive, patient, and really took the time to understand what we wanted, recommending Ocean Coral Spring because of its beach access, all-inclusive setup, and other amenities which turned out to be a perfect fit. Shakira handled all the details—room selection, and confirmations—and answered every question quickly, even when we had last-minute changes. Everything at the resort matched what she described, and check-in went smoothly. If you’re planning a trip to Jamaica and want someone knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a good trip, we highly recommend asking for Shakira.
