It's always great to have a nice review when clients return home. These folks visited Royalton St Lucia.

Ellen, thank you so much for helping us with this. I'm also happy that you enjoyed your Jamaica vacation. We had a great time. St. Lucia has been my absolute favorite place so far. Prior to this it was Barbados but St. Lucia won my heart.
We were so glad to have Diamond Club at the Royalton because the amenities were great. Everyone was unbelievably nice and welcoming. This is my 3rd Royalton resort and by far my favorite. It's older and noticeable but still very clean with great restaurants. We loved every restaurant including the buffet. We ordered room service a couple of times and that was great as well. Diamond club helps a great deal due to the amenities, but I feel I would still enjoy the resort without it. The resort also has good entertainment, and plenty of bars.
The island is beautiful with gorgeous mountains and beaches. There is a street party every Friday and it is a must. Matter of fact every local will ask if you are going and give you recommendations on where to eat. It is recommended to go to Duke's for seafood because everything is fresh from the island. I felt safe off the resort the entire time and had no issues.
The staff on our excursions were also friendly. We did a boat tour that included snorkeling, going to the famous volcanic mud baths, and the waterfall. We also did the Sea Trek, walking on the ocean floor, it was a great experience.
You will experience nothing different from any other Carribean island. People on the beach of the resort and at popular tourist spots trying to sell you things. They are not overly pushy and a polite no thank you works fine.
I would recommend St. Lucia and the resort and give it a 10/10. The only con is that the resort is about a 1hr 45min drive from the airport. The drivers will make it a sightseeing and educational journey. They will point out important areas and historical places. They will also provide education. The long drive allows for photos, an insight into the culture and fun facts about the island.

Thank you, Chris & Kelli, for asking me to help plan a sweet and special family trip to Hawaii! I appreciate you for supporting my business!

Hi Ellen! We had such an amazing trip. Hawaii is so beautiful. Thank you so much again for helping us plan this trip. Hilton Hawaiian village was a great recommendation. We loved the beach and the lagoon there and the proximity to all the shops. However, the hotel staff went on strike the day we checked in… �� so, that made things a little tough. No room service or cleaning. No staff to open pool bars, etc. The staff that was working were very kind though. I would definitely go back there. We loved the Pearl Harbor tour you booked for us. Our guide was awesome and gave us so much information. Outrigger Honua Kai resort was also exceptional. We loved the condo style rooms. Plenty of pools and things to do with the kids. The staff there was very friendly and helpful. It is a good location. Not too far from shops, grocery, etc. We did book an excursion to snorkel at molokini crater (which is amazing and we definitely recommend 4 winds Maui. They were so helpful and they accommodated our party of 11 with no notice) and a luau through them that never got called in to the companies but lucky for us it wasn’t busy so we were still able to do both and it made the price a lot cheaper! So, it worked out. ���� Also, if you have any clients that want pictures taken on vacations I highly recommend flytographer. You can find people pretty much anywhere you go. It was super easy and they get you the pictures so fast. Now we have the most beautiful photos to remember our trip!

Thank you Ellen for helping us pick a great place for my husband and friends for a weeks vacation in riviera maya, Mexico. We stayed at a all adult inclusive resort. We had live animals all around us like monkeys, Mexican raccoons, squirrels, lizards and iguanas ��
