Thank you for organizing our Honeymoon!

Hi Teresa,

The honeymoon was amazing!!! Tahiti is beautiful! Expensive though!!

Thanks for your help in planning this trip, we had a wonderful time. We were upgraded at the Intercontinental in Moorea to a premium beach bungalow. That was pretty cool except that the waters were a little choppy so it was a little difficult to snorkel.  Still beautiful though!

In Bora Bora, the Hilton was amazing! Unfortunately, they were completely booked and we were not able to get an upgrade but our bungalow was still amazing.  Being able to jump off the deck into the water to snorkel was cool as well!

I’m so glad that you were able to get some of the meals covered under our package. The food was ridiculously expensive! We were very shocked at the quality and the price.  The quality was mediocre and the price was outrageous.  However, we did have an amazing meal at one of the local restaurants in Moorea. The Polynesian buffet at the Intercontinental was very entertaining as well.

As for the excursions, the ATV tour in Moorea was so much fun! It was definitely a good choice.  We also signed up for deep sea fishing in Moorea, which was a BAD choice. We didn’t catch any fish and I was sea sick the entire time.  I normally don’t even get sea sick! As for Bora Bora, the jet skiing was a lot of fun as well. It was bascially a circle island tour on jet skis. However, we signed up for a Lagoon Safari and that was by far the best excursion! We got to swim with sharks and sting rays!! The jungle safari in Bora Bora was the least fun.  It involved just sitting in a jeep and touring the island with some off roading, but not much. Luckily, it was the cheapest!

Thanks again for organizing the trip!  We had a fabulous time and are very sad to be back at work!

Happy Clients - Happy Vacation!

Aloha,

I was very pleased with Teresa’s voluntary information about Maui. We have been there before but she added to our former experience. I especially like her phone etiquette and follow/up. She was able to get us the exact type of condo we needed. She suggested reserving a car for us and saved us a tremendous about of worry about added reservations. I will definitely trust her with any future reservations.

Sincerely
Joyce S.  August 2011
Note: Joyce reserved an 11 day vacation at the Aston Papakea Resort on Maui for herself and family

Aston Papakea Resort:
Located on the West side of Maui, just 4 miles North of Lahaina is one of my favorite moderately priced luxury hideaways (they dont have to be expensive!) - Papakea Resort. It is an oceanfront condominium surrounded with hibiscus, plumeria trees and bird of paradise, it is a gardners delight. The property is immaculate and offer 2 large swimming pools, spa tubs, 18-hole putting greens, shuffleboard courts, and barbecue areas.

Papakea Resort offers studios as well as 1 and 2 bedroom condos.  They are very spacious with all of the amenities of home, including a washer/dryer and dishwasher, the conveniences of a hotel, and the fun-and-games of a resort bring family life to full flower.

Honeymooners find the spacious grounds and unusually beautiful gardens to be the perfect spots for restful privacy. On Monday evenings, a complimentary mai tai party brings everyone together for hula lessons and Hawaiian music.  The Aston Papakea offers my clients the enjoyment of living on an island in the middle of the Sea.

Are you ready to stick your toes in the sand and a maitai in your hand?

Thanks so much, Can’t wait till the next time!

Aloha Teresa,

We had the time of our lives, (so far :). Everything was perfect from the condo to the car. The snorkling , Ziplining, shopping, weather and great food were just a few of the things that made Maui paradise for us.

I would have never been able to pull this off without your island savi. We were espeacially pleased when our condo had two bedrooms instead of one. When I talk to friends about our vacation I always end with how our travel agent sheilded me from the ocean spray with her beach towel.

Thanks so much,  Cant wait till the next time!

NOTE: We were on a snorkeling boat on the backside of the island of Lana’i & the weather turned rough on the way back to Maui.

One month ago today we left beautiful Maui. It was a magical trip.

Teresa, Travel Agent Extradinairre, Aloha,

Sorry for taking so long to reply. One month ago today we left beautiful Maui. It was a magical trip. We enjoyed our time there so much. The whole family did. Your itinerary worked out perfectly. Only one day was not as good as we hoped and that is when we took Vern’s family snorkelling. That day was very, very rough and difficult to snorkel especially for the little ones. Kelly and I became seasick which was not so great but we still had fun. Everything else was aces.

Maui Hill fit our needs very well as the condos are so spacious. They even had Santa land by helicopter near the pool on Christmas Eve. That was very exciting. Hawaii is a paradise.

Sorry you were sick and we missed meeting you. Anyway you did a great job so thank you so much! May 2011 bring good things into your life. Happy New Year.
Bye for now,
Lynda & family

Thank you for the wonderful honeymoon in Hawaii!

Hello Teresa,

It was great fun in Hawaii!  I didn’t like to start our day with work here (: after a nice, long vacation. I am really glad that I booked my vacation with you as after talking to you few times, you understood my needs and personality. Based on the information I gave, you prepared a perfect vacation and all the activities!

Everything was awesome and wonderful! We really enjoyed our honeymoon at both in Royal Kahana and the Wailea Beach Marriott. The Marriott was outrageous!  I can’t described how much I loved that place, it was the perfect place for us even comparing it to all of its neighbor 5 star hotels.  Also, the Old Lahaina Luau really is THE BEST in the Island!

Thanks a lot to you!! I will sure make my next vacation reservation with you.

PS: Only thing is I upgraded my rooms at both the places - you were right! Even in Marriott, I upgraded for better view but I think it was worth it.

Thanks,
Maulik

Thank you for assisting us with our Maui vacation!

Aloha Teresa,

I want to personally thank you for a wonderful family vacation to Maui!  The sportfishing trip went great (so I hear) - I was at the Grand Wailea spa!  They didn’t catch any big sports fish, but Connor was so pleased with the 5 lb Tuna and we enjoyed it for supper that night.

The day we went snokeling with Trilogy Excursions was a magical day. We saw a pod of dolphins, sea turtles, male humpbacks competing for escort rights, and a mother humpback with her calf who breached the water about six times for us!  We will have to send you a photo share when Orren gets the pictures all done.

The Old Lahaina luau was a wonderful experience and Lynda and I went to the Grand Wailea Spa the day the men went fishing. We had a relaxing hour of soaking in all their baths, a loofah scrub, and an hour massage each. Heaven!

Thank you so much! I am going to pass your information on to my Aunt and Uncle who are thinking of going to Maui later this month.

Mahalo!

Tracy and family

Thank You for helping us with the most amazing honeymoon!!

Bula Teresa!!!

I want to thank you for helping us with the most amazing honeymoon!!! It was such an amazing experience for both of us. Everything from the scuba diving to the village visit at Qamea Resort was incredible! We wished we had realized before leaving (and in all the emails you may have said I just dont recall) that we could take gifts to the kids in the village.

We ended up getting the nice people at Qamea Resort to buy some candy in town to take with us so it worked out.Vinaka vaka levu!!   Phil & Jamie
