I want to thank you so much for all your patience and dedication to my vacation.

It will not be forgotten! In my opinion, you are the finest travel agent I have ever worked with. You went above and beyond for my family. Thanks again.

Cathy M.

Our agent was wonderful!!!!

Donna S.

The other couples now have your business card!

Everyone in our group of 10 used Apple Vacations, but three of the couples used GoAwayTravel.com, whereas the other two, did not because they were afraid to use the internet for travel arrangements. Needless to say, not only did those that used you save money, but they also received better service at the resort.

Cynthia C.

Claudia was absolutely amazing! She

Claudia was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. I reached out to Claudia on a very short notice to plan a trip to the Bahamas two weeks away. She was able to get everything squared away right away not to mention she was on her own family… Read more “Claudia was absolutely amazing! She”

Zerina
Travel Consultant -Claudia

Her treatment of us during a difficult time alone would make us repeat customers

Our agent handled our vacation and she was excellent. We had some unexpected medical problems that led us to have to postpone our trip and she was extremely accommodating and helpful in rebooking the trip. We probably were rather high maintenance customers in this respect and she never wavered in her professionalism and her helpfulness.… Read more “Her treatment of us during a difficult time alone would make us repeat customers”

Family Vacation

We traveled to Now Jade for a family reunion/vacation. It was a great experience, starting with our wonderful travel agent. The process was seamless and effortless. The food and bar services were great. We upgraded to the Preferred Access. Our rooms were worth it, they boasted exceptional ocean views and jacuzzi on the balcony. The… Read more “Family Vacation”

Machaelie H.
Travel Consultant -Karen Waters

Your dedication to service sets you apart.

You did a much better job than my local agent! Not to mention I could handle all reservation details via e-mail from my office during work. I hope your business model continues to succeed in a market full of “live reservation” travel sites that gambled on high technology investments and forgot about customer service. As… Read more “Your dedication to service sets you apart.”

We are very pleased with the way our travel plans were handled. Will definitely do business with you again. Keep up the good work!

Bonnie & Lawrence H.

That level of service will go a long, long way!

My agent diligently followed up on this issue and actively participated in seeing the problem through to resolution. Faced with the same situation, 99% of other travel professionals would have distanced themselves from the problem and left me swinging in the breeze. My agent didn’t do that. Even though you guys are an internet-based travel… Read more “That level of service will go a long, long way!”

Scott W. C.

I would like to make you aware of what a great customer service person our agent is.

Trying to book a trip for our honeymoon to the Secrets Excellence Resorts & Spa, I called on four difference travel agents for pricing. Your employee sold us on GoAwayTravel.com after putting together a very nice personalized package, the three other companies did not call back. We feel that our agent will be able to… Read more “I would like to make you aware of what a great customer service person our agent is.”

Scott G.

The hardest part of dealing with an internet-based agent is trust and you have earned that.

Everyone and everything was perfect. We even extended 2 extra days at a really good price. Thank you again for all of your help.

Jan M.

Our agent has again gone above and beyond the call of duty.

Thanks ever so much.

Very relaxing adult resort.

UK companies could learn a lot from you!

Many many thanks for organizing this for us and please pass on my thanks to my agent (she was brilliant – helpful, friendly, informative, responsive etc). First time I’ve booked a holiday online – very positive experience – can’t thank you enough.

Sarah D.

Claudia was great, from the day we booked the trip to the day we landed back home.

Claudia was great, from the day we booked the trip to the day we landed back home.

I plan on winning the state lottery and giving you plenty of business. Thanks again for all your help.

Great help in planning our honeymoon

Our travel advisor, Claudia, did a wonderful job assisting us in finding the perfect honeymoon spot for us. Even after we booked, she made sure months down the road to let us know there was a price drop and we received a discount on our final purchase price.

Adam Torrence
Travel Consultant -Claudia

Our honeymoon was the best vacation ever and absolutely stress-free thanks to you

I wanted to send a personal thank you. I was scared to death about booking my vacation over the internet, but everything was perfect! In fact, we were the only couple to have a preregistration card for check-in at the hotel thanks to you. You were able to get me a better deal than the… Read more “Our honeymoon was the best vacation ever and absolutely stress-free thanks to you”

Jodi & Richard S.

You gave us the best price out of the 7 travel agents we contacted.

“Communication was quick, accurate, informative and friendly. We plan on using GoAwayTravel.com for our next travel plans.”

Lynn W.

She was able to find us a room at the hotel we wanted when no other agents could!

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been working with our agent to book a trip to Playa del Carmen, and she’s been terrific to work with. She has worked with all of our requests for dates, timing, and details. She has been totally responsive and helpful.

Resort was great. Trip very well organized

Claudia and Karen did a fantastic job of organizing this large group. We had some bumps In the road prior to traveling, but they were always on top of it and everything was taken care of. Well done ladies!

Charlie Berra
Travel Consultant -Claudia/Karen

We felt valued and appreciated.

My wife and I wanted to express our sincere gratitude to you for helping us arrange a most enjoyable vacation. We were spoiled by the experience. We were all saddened to leave. My wife and I are already planning our next trip there and you can rest assured that we will use GoAwayTravel.com again.

Average resort for average price

Claudia was wonderful to work with. At the beginning she had to rebook for us because of a funeral that we had to attend. Then while there, a hurricane hit nearby and Claudia made sure to be in contact and let us know she was there if we needed her. Terrific help.

Ed Moran
Travel Consultant -Claudia

Plenty of seating for the pool and beach regardless of time of day; never crowded

Karen and Claudia did a great job of communicating with the group. Did a great job of getting all of us switched to another resort when required. Did a great job of “herding cats” both at the airport and at the hotel.

Ed M.
Travel Consultant -Karen and Claudia

An amazing trip!

Our consultant did great! I didn’t work with her for the majority of the planning since my father did all that, but when I did work with her she was great!
