Alicia's reviews

Alicia was amazing in helping me plan the perfect anniversary getaway. She even provided me her personal number, just in case we needed anything extra during our stay. We will be in touch again, thanks Alicia!

Alicia was fantastic, had everything set up for us and ready to go — she was amazing! Thank you!

Alicia was wonderful. She was helpful and found us what we were looking for... would definitely book through her again!

Alicia was extremely kind and easy to work with. She took everything I asked for into account and made it happen. She was very helpful when there was a bit of confusion at hotel and got things sorted straight away. Her attention to detail and making sure we had the perfect staycation did not go unnoticed. She really made sure to take care of us and we are confident we will be using her again for our travels. Thank you Alicia!
