From “we should go”
to “let's talk.”

01 — Dream a little

Ask the good questions.

Let's discuss resort experiences and vacation options. I'll help you identify what to ask before choosing a trip.

A few things to know

Good questions.
Clear expectations.

Can I book and pay on this website?

Here’s how the booking and payment process works! 😊

Once you’ve picked your room, I’ll contact my resort representative and provide the information needed to set up your reservation.

From there, you’ll receive an email with a PDF reservation confirmation and a secure Worldpay payment link.

If you want a little extra peace of mind, you’re more than welcome to call the resort directly to verify your reservation before making any payment. I completely understand wanting to make sure everything is legitimate!

Once you're comfortable and everything checks out, you can use the Worldpay link to pay with your credit or debit card.

After payment, you'll receive another email requesting your flight information so the resort can coordinate your airport transportation.

Don't have your flights booked yet? No worries! You can reply to that email with your flight details whenever you have them finalized.

It's a pretty simple process, and I'm happy to help you along the way if you have any questions! 🌴✈️
