A Fabulous Experience
Reviewed By Julie H - Maple Grove, MN | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
We had a fabulous experience at the Secrets Wild Orchid in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The resort was clean, our rooms were clean, the staff were pleasant and helpful. The entertainment staff, especially around the pool,were fabulous! Ruby, Skye, Captain, Red Stripe and Slim Jay kept us entertained and were always there if we needed anything. The food at the restaurants was excellent! We were sad to leave and would like to go back some day!
HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH US? Anna Swartwood was excellent to work with! She took care of everything from booking the trip through getting us to the resort! She took care of every detail. We didn't need to worry about a thing! I would recommend Anna to anyone and will use her in the future for my travel needs.

Secrets Cap Cana was Amazing
Reviewed By Taylor M - Plymouth, MN | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
We couldn't have asked for a better All-Inclusive! We traveled to Dominican Republic to celebrate a friends honeymoon. Anna Swartwood recommended we stay at Secrets Cap Cana located in Punta Cana and she nailed it! She lined up our airfare, lodging, and transportation to and from the resort. The adults only all-inclusive offered all the amenities you could want; daily activities, over-sized pools, swim up bars, great food, nightly music/shows, white sandy beaches, and elegant rooms. We upgraded to a swim out room and it was totally worth it! You share a pool with roughly 6 other rooms, but found we were usually the only ones in it (still plenty of room if all 6 rooms were using it.) Depending on which room you choose, you could spend all day in your swim out pool, however, we chose to spend the day at the larger pools with other guests and wind down just before dinner at our swim out. This was our first time staying at a Secrets and we would definitely go back. The staff and grounds w

A Fabulous Time in Germany
Reviewed By Tim F - Albertville, MN | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
We had a fabulous time in Germany! We just loved it there! Our favorite stops were our visits to Neuschwanstein Castle, Burg Eltz, Cologne Cathedral, Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, and a day trip we added to the fortress in Salzburg. Our hotel in Berlin was our favorite and the breakfast was huge and delicious! They must have given us a handicap accessible room, because everything was so spacious, a lot different than the first two hotels. We felt like the car rental went smoothly, and the amount of time we allotted for each place was perfect. So, everything worked out, with just a little extra hassle. Thanks so much for finding us nice places to stay in prime locations and for finding us a good price for the overall package. We would definitely recommend this trip to others!

The trip was awesome!!
Lots of sun and ocean time. We stayed at Barcelo Punta Cana. The grounds were immaculate and the pools were great. The food was OK. Lots of choices but not my favorite. The Japanese(Kyoto) restaurant was the best. Great food! We did the Pirates of the Caribbean excursion. This excursion was good for kids. We snorkeled, had a stingray encounter and swam with sharks. There was also a lunch provided. Punta Cana is a great destination to get away from the cold:)

Reviewed By Marlene J - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Hi Anna--I wanted to thank you so very much for all your help getting our Alaska adventure worked out. Everything went off without a hitch! Thank you also for the lovely steak dinner in the Crown Grill. It was a nice surprise! Here's a quick rundown of our adventures:
Michelle, Gerrene and I had a blast! It was so nice to be away from everything (mostly school) even if it was just a week of fantasy :). We loved our mini suite on the Grand Princess. Our steward, Rey, took good care of us. The room was just big enough for the three of us. We each took over our own area. It was just the right amount of activity so that Michelle did not get too tired out. We cruised the first two days so we got familiar with the ship and took advantage of some of the fun presentations onboard. We ate in the dining room for dinner each evening. That was a real treat and we liked having the flexibility of our dining time. We had lots of fresh seafood and steak.

Fantastic Family trip to Cancun
Reviewed By Lana J - Anoka, MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Hi Anna,I cannot tell you what a fantastic trip we had in Cancun. We are ready to go back.....tomorrow!
A couple questions:
We LOVED the all inclusive...if we went to Playa next Winter, what is a reasonable hotel for us and would it be similar in price? Just curious! It is so overwhelming to look at all the hotels, etc. online.
Thanks,
Lana
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Alaskan Cruise
Hi Anna-- I wanted to thank you so very much for all your help getting our Alaska adventure worked out. Everything went off without a hitch! Thank you also for the lovely steak dinner. We entered the Inside Passage on Monday and our first stop was Ketchikan. We took a float plane and flew over the Misty Fjords. We landed on a lake by a waterfall and all got out on the floats. It was great fun.. Tuesday was our day in Juneau. We went whale watching in the morning ,and spent time at Mendenhall Glacier in the afternoon. Whale watching was so much fun. We saw two momma Humpbacks and their babies. One momma was so close to our boat that you could hear her blow hole opening and closing. We also saw lots and lots of eagles, sea lions, and seals. On the way back into the bay we could see the Mendenhall Glacier--a river of ice. All in all, it was the best adventure ever! Thanks again for everything! I hope to work with you again in the future.
