Thank you, Bonnie!

We had an awesome time, and everything went great. A little trouble getting out of Fargo due to mechanical issues, but we finally made it to Anchorage about 4 AM in the morning... all good from then on.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

-- Linda & Dale

 

What a wonderful trip to Alaska! We were in the 10% to see all of Denali. Such beautiful scenery. We especially loved the land tours and lodges the first days. Only had one day where we canceled our excursions because of weather. Linda and I loved the shopping along the way! The cruise ship was a wonderful experience. They took such good care of us. Can't wait for our next adventure!

Thank you!

-- Renae & Mike

 

Our trip was perfection from our pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam to our post-cruise stay in Lucerne. Our accommodations were top notch, we were treated like royalty everywhere we stayed. The hotels and the cruise ship were so beautiful, clean, comfortable and the staff were very attentive, the food and beverage were excellent. Thank you, Stacy for coordinating and planning this fabulous adventure for all of us, you make it look easy!!

 

Hey Bonnie!

We did have a pretty great trip.

We really appreciate you hooking us up with Club Mobay! That made a HUGE difference when we landed! We probably save 1.5-2 hours waiting in line for customs. Also, we would have been absolutely lost without our handler! That airport is absolutely chaotic! Yikes!

The swim up suite was absolutely the best thing we could have booked! We spent more time in 'our' little pool than anywhere during the week. We also ended up having the best vacation neighbors, ever!

We had two meals that we truly enjoyed, one at the Royal Thai restaurant on the island of Royal Caribbean and the sushi restaurant.

We wouldn't trade our time together for anything. When I am looking for a moment of calm now, I just close my eyes and put myself back in that salty, bathtub warm, ocean water near the island and remember the intensity of the sun on my skin, the feel of the sand in my toes, and how the waves felt as they rocked my stress away. That is how I want to remember my Jamaican trip.

Thanks,

-- Al & Chris

 

Hi Bonnie,

We had an amazing trip, CIE took very good care of us, the hotels were great and the tour guides were very knowledgeable. We were in very good hands with our bus driver. We would not hesitate to go on another CIE tour again in the future. Photos of us. (1) Aileen Donan Castle-Scotland. (2) Cliffs of Moher-Ireland.

Thank you for all of your assistance in the planning of this dream trip.

-- Kurt and Jennifer

 

Good evening Stacy,

We had an amazing time in Jamaica! Moon Palace had delicious food and we thoroughly enjoyed our excursions which we booked through the link you provided us with. We enjoyed snorkeling, Dunn's River Falls, sailing on a catamaran and lots more! We did not make a reservation for a future trip while there but we will be in contact with you again in the future to book more trips to other locations! Thank you so much for all of your knowledge and for hooking us up with the guide through customs upon arriving -- It was so helpful!

-- Halley & Shane

 

Hi Bonnie,

We had a great time on our vacation. You picked out two very nice places to stay. We all loved Miami. After we picked it, a couple people questioned our choice, but when we left Miami, we weren't ready to go. I can see how it isn't for everyone, but the beaches were the nicest WE have seen. Key West … the resort was beautiful. We jetski'd around the island and took in the butterfly conservatory. It was a great vacation. Thank you, Bonnie!

-- The Larson Family

 

Bonnie,

Thank you for all you help. The vacation was amazing! You made it easy and took the stress away so we could just enjoy our time.

Thanks

-- Ryan & El

 

Bonnie was quick to respond to any question we had. She put together a nice package for our vacation and also added an extra page of do's and don'ts when traveling. We appreciated that.

-- Steve & Janelle

 

Bonnie,

It was absolutely amazing! I still can't believe that it's a real place! It far exceeded our expectations. Everyone was incredibly friendly from our drivers to and from the airport, grounds keepers, bartenders, restaurant staff and our butlers especially Geoffrey! It was most definitely a dream vacation. Our original room was having some maintenance issues so they "upgraded" us to the Mediterranean Honeymoon Romeo and Juliet Penthouse room on the 6th floor of the large Almond building and the views were incredible from there! They also gave us a $250 resort credit for the inconvenience which we ended up using at the spa so that very nice of them. Gave us a taste of two different rooms. We stayed in there 2 nights and then spent the other 2 in the room we booked. But dare we say we liked the Romeo and Juliet room better.

Thanks,

-- Josh & Alicia

 

Hi Bonnie,

We truly had an amazing time. It was exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for and what we needed.

We enjoyed the beautiful Arizona Biltmore resort and spent the majority of our time there soaking up the 75deg sunshine by the pool and hot tub. We also loved the flower gardens and fountains, the entire place was so beautiful.

We really enjoyed the delicious food too at several of the restaurants. The main highlight was the smoked brisket and fava beans at Renata's hearth. It was amazing.

We also treated ourselves to a spa day at Terra Luna Spa. We had the best massages, and enjoyed the tranquility of the spa garden. We left so relaxed and rejuvenated.

Another highlight of our trip was the day we spent at the Grand Canyon. We were totally in awe of it's breathtaking beauty. It was so worth the trip there. We enjoyed our tour guide and met another wonderful couple too.

Overall, this trip helped us take a much needed break from the busyness of our lives and soak up the sun and relaxation.

Thank you so much for planning a wonderful trip and making the process so effortless and easy.

We appreciate you very much!

-- Mark and Tami Lawrence

 

Bonnie,

Our trip was fantastic - full of relaxation and good food/drinks and fun whale watching. We will submit a review and photo.

We can't thank you enough for the extra effort in getting us an extra day and the flight changes. Not having to scramble, juggle, and worry while we were there added to our ability to just relax. We just knew you would take care of it - and you did!

Thanks again, we are already trying to figure out how to go back!

-- Kirsten & Rob

 

Hi Bonnie!

We had the BEST time in St. Lucia! The weather was amazing, the food was great & we were so happy with the resort! Everyone was so incredibly kind & helpful. We felt totally safe the entire time & had all of the accommodations we needed. We loved being club level as they made all of our reservations, booked excursions, and had all of our travel info ready for us. We had the best honeymoon we could have imagined & we definitely plan to go back for future anniversaries! Thank you again for all of your help with planning our dream honeymoon!!

-- Logan & Emylee

 

Hi Bonnie!

Thanks Bonnie for another wonderful trip! We had a fantastic time and the beach at Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana was the best we've ever had…it was so soft to walk on and you could walk out in the ocean a long ways and it was shallow and sandy. We even got to see whales jumping from the beach! Our ocean view was absolutely beautiful from our room! I really enjoyed the martini bar in the evenings. We had a couple restaurants that weren't our favorites, but most meals were great…Waves, Noodle and Thread and Tempest Table were the favorites for supper!

-- Kent & Kari

 

Bonnie was excellent to work with from the beginning through our vacation. She answered all questions we had and helped with anything we needed! We will be using Bonnie again for future travel needs!

-- Tiffany & Byron

 

Bonnie was great to work with, she took care of everything we needed. I have used her multiple times on many trips, and she has always delivered excellent customer service. Sandals Dunn's River was a great experience from top to bottom with great facilities, food and entertainment. The weather did keep us from going on the ocean unfortunately, that is the only thing that would have made our anniversary trip better.

-- Brandon & Renae

 

Hey Bonnie!

Wow!! Great Exuma was BEAUTIFUL! No words describe the water and beaches! Gorgeous!

-- Mark & Libby

 

Hi Bonnie,

I just wanted to thank you for planning such a great trip for Reece and I for our honeymoon. We had the best time and the travel went so smoothly. The Atelier amazed us every day and the food was incredible! We're already excited to plan another trip. Until then, THANK YOU!

-- Paige & Reece

 

Hi Bonnie,

We are so happy we chose St. Lucia, Sandals Regency La Toc and you made it completely headache free for us! We really appreciate it!

Thanks,

-- Nathan & Haley

 

Bonnie,

This was so wonderful! Last minute reservation made with ease and perfection. It was perfect.

-- Marcus & Rebecca

 

Bonnie,

The best family trip ever! Bonnie is amazing and highly recommend her!

-- Luke and Jodi

 

Hi Bonnie,

The trip was absolutely amazing!! Exceeded all expectations. It was the perfect mix of culture, great food & service, organized & efficient, truly seemless & active & adventurous!! We would highly recommend backroads & would definitely be interested in another trip with them. Worth every penny! Thanks for the recommendation :)

-- Andrea & Danny

 

Hi Bonnie,

We had a wonderful time in Paris. The Ritz was gorgeous and e the location couldn't be better. We walked everywhere. The suggestions thru the Concierge were great.

Tauck was a beautiful boat and the river cruise was so interesting. The food was delicious. The entertainment was very good.

I wish the weather would have been warmer. We were finally able to sit up top on the last evening of the seven day trip. The excursions were very well planned although a bit early for Jeff's liking. I wanted to see everything so I went a day on my own. Our day at the American Cemetery was freezing and way too short. Super long bus ride. If I get a chance to return to Normandy it would be nice to stay in one of the beautiful villages and drive.

We did both agree…Seadream is still our favorite. When we got off the plane after the Mediterranean cruise we could have done it all over again!

Thanks Bonnie for all your planning

-- Kim & Jeff

 

Bonnie,

We truly enjoyed our trip! Our tour guide and bus driver were excellent. We loved the gondola ride in Venice.

-- Harold and Veronica

 

Hi Bonnie,

Truly the best trip for so many reasons....

Our trip to Greece was amazing with our friends but the trip to Capri was beyond any expectations. Our private boat transfer was soooooooo flipping cool!!! I felt so special on a boat crossing waters to our private island of Capri. OMG for our hotel Punta Tragara... put this on your list for sure!! Luxury and simply outstanding in every way. Our room, views, service, people, so so special. Loved the fancy 5 course dinner to going to an American cafe right there on site. We day tripped to Sorrento and just had the time of our lives. It was healing, romantic, fun, safe, and oh so beautiful.

Our blip on the trip of canceled flights all turned out ok. It was a long road home but no complaints! It all went smooth as silk.

A million thanks Bonnie for all you do and all you did. You captured our forever business due to your outstanding service and kind attitude. Thank you so so much!

I hope your family and all is healthy, happy and more.

Much gratitude and love,

-- Erin & Cliff

 

Hi Bonnie,

We had such a wonderful time!
The advice you gave about powering through that first day was awesome.
We were so fortunate to have no flight delays and arrived in London early around 7:30.
We found a super taxi driver who went via Buckingham Palace on the way to the hotel!
The CIE tour guide, David, was great…he gave us interesting information and didn't need to fill every second of time with words.
Our driver, Daria, is from Ireland and a great guy.
It was nice to have all the accommodations and tickets to the different places ready and a total streamlined process.
We had such a spectacular time. Every day seemed better than the day before.
Edinburg was our favorite- that castle is an amazing city!
Ireland was just fantastic!
We went to the Blarney Castle and kissed the Blarney Stone!
It did get to be almost an endurance test with some one night stays just having to have our luggage outside of the room by 7 and on the bus at 8 every day. The schedule was planned so we arrived late afternoon and were able to check into the rooms… the 2 night stays were welcome just for a little extra time.
Here's photos of me kissing the Blarney Stone, Gretna Green, The Tower of London with Beef Eaters and the Tower of London Bridge.

Thank you again for suggesting this trip. It was truly a trip of a lifetime!

-- Judy & Kirke

 

Great organization, communication, and flexibility. Carol made our wedding seamless with travel and getting all our 75 guests to Mexico. I would highly recommend using Carol for any of your travel plans!

-- Leksi & Austen

 

Hey Bonnie! Our trip was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed every aspect of it!! Great resort, food and people!! Thank you so much for finding the place for us. We would definitely go there again and would recommend it to everyone!

Again thank you so much!! It was amazing!

-- Amanda

 

Bonnie,

We had a great time. the food was great, as was our room and balcony! Thanks for all you do for us!!

-- Louis & Kristi

 

We have known Bonnie for years, and we are so happy that we used Bonnie and Bon Voyage Travel Leaders to book our 28-year anniversary trip. Bonnie also helped with booking a few excursions for us. We highly recommend Bonnie and Bon Voyage Travel Leaders!

-- Matt & Michelle

 

Bonnie,

Our trip was amazing!!!!!! I can't wait to go back. The food and wine were so good. I loved all three cities but Venice was our favorite! Thank you again for all your help!

-- Jess & Kevin

 

Stacy,

Our Greek Isles cruise aboard the Norwegian Gem was fabulous! We enjoyed all the ports and were so surprised by the beauty of Croatia and Montenegro, in addition to the Greek Isles. Of course, the post-cruise day we spent in Athens, Greece was astounding! Thank you so much for all your help and we can't wait to have you help us plan our next adventure.

-- Kathy & Mike

 

Hello Bonnie!

We had a fabulous time! It was exactly what we were looking for. It's not to often we get to spend that much alone time with one of our kids so it was great to make those memories! Not to mention we felt completely safe!!

The resort we stayed at was great!! It had a great pool and beach area so it had that nice resort feel, but if you'd walk out the other side of the hotel you were right in town and had a ton of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Drink and food prices were so reasonable and almost cheaper than back home. We did a UTV excursion of some of the beaches which also made stops at local food/drink stands, went snorkeling and fishing. Those were all great as well. We also drove to Old San Juan and had dinner there a few different nights. I would highly recommend anyone that goes there to check out that area!

Thank you again for helping us plan our trip!! It will definitely be a place we'll go back to!

-- Lisa

 

Hi Bonnie,

Excellence Oyster Bay was amazing! I would compare it to Unico (my favorite resort we’ve stayed at so far)! Excellence club was worth it too because the extra restaurants/bars/pools were great! Both of the couples that traveled with us were amazed with how great the resort was. I told them you’ve never sent us somewhere that was mediocre. All around a great trip! Thanks again!

-- Kari

 

Bonnie,

Our vacation was amazing! It was definitely worth the wait. We had a great time!

-- Becky & Family

 

Bonnie,

We had a nice time. The weather was fabulous and the resort beautiful.

The food trucks had a nice selection, Aolos was the top breakfast and Vincent's/Butches best dinners.

-- Libby & Mark

 

Hi Bonnie!

We all made it home safe from literally the BEST WEEK EVER! We had so much fun and the wedding was perfect. We had the only cloudy/windy day the day of our wedding…of course haha but honestly it was a blessing for pictures and not sweating! Thank you so much for all your help and making it all come together for us!

-- Claire & Braden

 

River cruise was awesome! Thanks, again, for getting it all set up for us!! We really appreciate it! Bonnie is an exemplary travel agent! Would highly recommend her!

-- Verne and Becky

 

We were especially grateful to have a travel agent with us during this process as we had been dealing with the pandemic for the 2 years of planning. Our travel agent was the best - extremely patient with all of the many questions we had and all of our guests had. It was a huge piece of mind to have Bonnie to call if we need her! I couldn't imagine trying to pull off the kind of trip we had without her!

-- Dustyn & Caillie

 

Bonnie,

Thanks so much for the planning and advice for our Anniversary Vacation! We enjoyed our experience at Sandals!

-- Travis & Angel

 

Bonnie the trip was awesome! Thank you again for all your work in getting this together for us and dealing with the various flight arrangements. You are great to work with and we will certainly use your agency again for future travel plans!!

Sincerely,

-- Jay and Arlene

 

Bonnie,

Thank you for planning our honeymoon. Barbados was amazing. It was over way too quickly. We had a wonderful time, and cannot wait to book our next trip.

-- Sarrah & Chris

 

Bonnie,

Miami was awesome!! Thank you for putting together a wonderful vacation. The Vikings game was super fun and we loved Ocean Drive and south beach.

-- John & Carol

 

This is our second trip planned via Bonnie Haley and the staff at Bon Voyage. The communication is always excellent and responses to any questions are quickly provided. They make travel planning easy!

-- Jeff & Janell!

 

The resort was amazing & staff was fabulous & we definitely would stay there again. Service and food were great and the weather cooperated. we enjoyed lots of sun and family time and it was a great trip! Thanks for your help.

-- Machart Family!

 

Hi Bonnie!

We had a wonderful trip and are so thankful for your guidance and planning.

-- Travis & Jenna

 

Hi Bonnie,

We had an amazing time, it was awesome!! Thanks for everything!

-- Jeremy and Chelsea

 

Bonnie,

Thank you for asking about the trip. We had an excellent time. We had a little scare prior to leaving as we had not received our COVID results an hr before getting on the bus back to the airport. It ended up working out though and was the only hitch in our trip. Seriously though, we couldn't have asked for a better time. The resort was awesome with many amenities for the kids. We were able to go shopping at 5th Ave and visit the sister resort, Sandos Caracol. The weather worked out in our favor with only one day of rain for only a couple of hours. We had gorgeous 80+ degree days with plenty of sun. The resort had awesome entertainment at night. Our kids really enjoyed Lady Gaga and the Decedents concerts. You should have seen our kids eat. All 3 ate more at each meal than I have ever seen them eat. They also really enjoyed all the drinks and couldn't believe they were free. I told them we definitely paid for them ??. We were able to get a ton of great pictures. We didn't get many of our family, but plenty of the kids. Thank you so much for all the help. It was a great family trip with many memories.

Hey Bonnie,

Our trip was great!! It was the perfect getaway for us.

Some trip highlights: getting to know some of the people that worked at the resort (Francisco on the beach knew our orders without asking by the end of the trip and Dani with the entertainment crew was so fun), getting to enjoy the amazing food at the restaurants, spending the days on the beach and hanging out in the pools, the bike tour, playing outdoor ping pong, our wonderful excursion to Isla Mujeres that involved snorkeling and hanging out at the north beach, jet skiing on the ocean, being entertained by all of the live music and shows every night (the Silent Party was a blast)! Neil and I loved the resort so much and really felt right at home from the start. Especially loved all the iguanas!

We would go back in a heartbeat. The only thing we would change would be the ocean at the resort but wasn't quite that turquoise blue of the Bahamas and there was quite a bit of seaweed. We also did not go golfing because it seemed pretty expensive ($175 green/cart fee and $65 club rental per person). Additionally, we were supposed to meet with someone from Delta Vacations our second day, but that person was incredibly late to our appointment and not very friendly, so we didn't get to book any excursions with him. I think his name was Rodrigo.

We appreciate your travel expertise and your help with booking our trip. You are the best!

-- Jess and Neil

 

Bonnie was so great to work with. She had fantastic recommendations for our trip to Mexico and made the entire vacation planning process a breeze. A few emails back and forth and our trip was planned end-to-end and on budget. Looking forward to the next opportunity to book a trip with Bonnie and leverage her expertise again.

 

Bonnie,

I just wanted to reach out and tell you thank you for helping us plan our honeymoon and for suggesting Secrets Maroma Beach! We absolutely loved it there! It was perfect, from the beach to the staff to honestly just everything! They did such a great job there! We definitely will be looking to book another vacation next year!

Thank you again!

-- Rachel Nelson

 

Just wanted to let you know that we had the best time on our honeymoon in Dominican! It was such a beauty of a place and we can't wait to go back one day! Looking forward to booking another trip with you in the near future. Thinking about Bahamas or Cozumel next February or so. Thank you so much again for all your help with everything. We truly appreciated it!

Thank you,

-- Thomas & Aviana

 

Hello!!

Our trip was AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for better! The resort was amazing and the service was beyond exceptional.

We have not booked anything yet, but will definitely contact you when we do!

Thank you so much! :)

-- Zane and Ellen

 

Hello Bonnie!

Our trip was amazing! It was by far my favorite resort we have ever been to, so thank you for the great recommendation! The food was excellent, rooms were beautiful, loved having the concierge all week that booked everything for us. Great vacation!!

-- Kari

 

Bonnie,

Our trip was wonderful! We loved Saint Lucia. The weather was phenomenal and the resort was beautiful. We loved having a walk out room near the pool (and the pool bar!). The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We really liked the size of the resort. It was easy to navigate and walk from end to end. The food was delicious! We had coconut ice cream and loved it. We golfed one day and did a catamaran sea excursion another day. I included a photo from the catamaran with the Pitons in the background. We took a helicopter to the resort and back from it. Loved it! I included a helicopter photo and a sunset photo from the resort.

Thank you for your help in making this trip a reality!

-- Lacey Fetsch

 

Woke up in paradise,

Hard Rock resort in Cabo is gorgeous! Brand new. Great food, beautiful rooms, many pools to pick from, secluded right on the ocean with gorgeous golf courses as well. We plan on coming back and bringing our clubs. Friendly staff and lots of nightly activities. Great for families or a couples getaway.

-- Matt, Michelle, Lily, and Emma

 

Bonnie,

We want to thank you again for everything you did to make sure we still got our honeymoon. Although it wasn't St Lucia, Le Blanc Spa Resort in Cancun, Mexico exceeded our expectations and made for a heavenly honeymoon! The resort was absolutely beautiful. By far the best service we have ever received. All the staff were amazing. The food was the best food I've ever had on vacation! We never had a bad meal. The view from our room was incredible and we loved to just stand on the balcony to watch the sunrise on the gorgeous view. Our butlers were amazing. Santiago had a surprise jacuzzi for us with rose petals, chocolates, and champagne on our first and last night. I would recommend this resort to anyone. It was 100% worth it!! I can't wait to visit this resort again someday.

We want you to know how appreciative we are of you to change our honeymoon last minute. We have no idea what we would've done without you!

Thanks a million,

-- The Monda's

 

Hi Bonnie,

I wanted to let you know we had an AMAZING time! The room and resort were great! We had a wonderful time on our excursions! The wedding coordinator, Mariesa was soo helpful! The wedding and reception were perfect, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for everything. We are so happy that our friends and family were able to join us for the week, and were grateful to have you to make the booking process easy for everyone!

And what great timing! So glad we were able to go and get back in time before the craziness started!

Thanks again!

-- Jayden and Richard

 

Hi Bonnie,

It was great! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Thinking of you in this time.

Take Care,

-- Crystal

 

Our Dream trip to Hawaii!!

Bonnie a big thank you from the Morton's our dream trip to Hawaii was even better than expected. Everything went so smooth it truly was more than we could have ever dreamed. Our rooms were exactly what we wanted and more looking out over the ocean watching the whales and dolphins swim bye. Our flights, car rentals and excursions went off without a hitch. We are greatly appreciative for everything you did for us. You never let us down!!

Thanks again,

-- Bev and Roger Morton

 

We had an AMAZING time in Jamaica at the Excellence Resort! The staff and people there were absolutely great! They were so friendly and willing to help with any request we had. We loved how private it was too (nobody selling anything on the beach, etc.).

Our room exceeded our expectations, partially because we were upgraded by them when we arrived which was so nice! We ended up staying in one of the beach houses right on the water, 2nd floor.

We also booked The Blue Hole and Mystic Mountain excursion. We loved the blue hole (so beautiful and our tour guide took so many pictures/videos for us -- it was awesome)! Mystic Mountain was also super fun! We did the zip lining and the ski lift right along the ocean is definitely something to see :)

Lastly, we so appreciate the Club MOBAY recommendation. We think it was WELL worth the money. They treated us very well there and we loved having that airport lounge to relax in until our flight took off!!

Thank you again for all of your help!! You were great!!

-- Amanda & Brandon

 

Bonnie,

Trip was fantastic. St. Lucia was beautiful! Thank you again for the most wonderful trip!

-- Bobbi & Mike

 

Hi Bonnie!

We really liked Excellence Playa Mujeres! It was a great week away!! Thank you for being helpful in finding our honeymoon destination!

-- Andrea and Brady!

 

Bonnie,

The vacation/wedding was great. Everything worked out the way we wanted it go and the staff at Sandals Antigua were amazing as well! We loved having a butler, even though we didn't end up using them everyday but it was nice that they made all of our reservations for dinner and each day they would check in with us to see if we wanted chairs at a pool or the beach and then every morning when we went to that location they would have a cooler with beverages for us. I would recommend this resort to anyone that wants a very relaxing vacation. There wasn't much entertainment and a pretty quiet resort, but that was just perfect for this vacation. The weather was beautiful. During the day it was in the high 80's and at night in the low 80's. The beach was beautiful. I would say the only downfall to this resort is the beach is public so it was annoying all the beach vendors wanting us to buy their stuff. But if you simply said "no thank you" they did leave you alone We did learn that this island doesn't get much rainfall a year, it's a very dry island so many cactus were around the island. We did take a tour around the island and it's only green where people are watering their lawns. It was also a very safe resort and low crime rate, so a great place to go. Below is a link to one of our pictures. Thank you for recommending this resort to us, we had a blast and made memories for a lifetime.

-- Brian & Kelsey

 

Bonnie,

Our AmaWaterways River Cruise Vacation was fabulous. The food and service were amazing. Huge shower in the bathroom and really wide hallways in the ship. We really appreciated that all the transfers were included.

Thank you for a wonderful trip !!!

-- Sue and Duane!

 

Hi Bonnie,

Italy was amazing!! Thank you so much for all your planning and suggestions! Everything went so smoothly, it was a great Mother/Daughter trip!

We loved Rome! Our hotel, the Rome Times was in a great location. It was very modern , had a wonderful breakfast and a very helpful staff. Your suggestion of a private driver for a day was a fantastic idea! We were able to see so much and he took us to sites we wouldn't have known about. He also took us to a fabulous pizza place!

Florence was awesome! We loved our hotel, the Plaza Lucchesi was a great choice,perfect location and the staff was amazing! The view from the rooftop pool/bar was spectacular! It was a wonderful place to relax at the end of a long day!

We enjoyed all of our excursions, a day trip to Cinque Terre and Portovenere, a cooking class, a Florence evening walking tour, a day trip to the Tuscan Jewels( Siena, Monteriggioni, San Gimignano and Pisa) and our bike tour through the Tuscan countryside, with stops at wineries for lunch and wine tastings! We had great tour guides and enjoyed meeting the people in our groups!

Thank you again,for all your help! We wouldn't change a thing, it was a trip to remember!!

-- Charlene, Hayley and Caitlin

 

Hi Bonnie,

This was the best vacation ever! We loved the Hard Rock Hotel in Puerto Vallarta. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful. They said Puerto Vallarta was known for their friendliness and that is so true! The last day, while we were waiting for our ride, our pool server Cookie made a point to find us in the lobby to say a special goodbye and to thank us.

The hotel was beautiful, clean and safe. Our view from our room was paradise! We brought our teenage kids with and I felt safe letting them go off on their own at the resort. This was a resort that made both couples and families feel welcome. There was no major partying going on from spring breakers. The resort wasn't overly big which I found to be a good thing. It still had a wonderful spa, several pools, 4 restaurants and walkout access to the beach with the finest softest sand.

The restaurants were great and if you were a bit adventurous in food choices there were some wonderful specialty dishes. I ate so much guacamole! My only regret is that I didn't get to try the Brazilian grill. I saved that for last, but that night they had a Mexican fiesta going on. So either way it was a win/win situation. Another win were the drinks! The drinks were delicious and plentiful. I had my fair share of Pina Coladas and Miami Vices.

Thank you so much for planning this! Also this trip was an amazing deal! I had been trying to plan something on my own, but I didn't come anywhere near to your price. I will definitely be giving you a call for my future trips. You took the stress out of vacation and all we had to do was show up and have fun.

Sincerely,
-- The Blixt Family

 

Hey there Bonnie!

Once again a job well done with your recommendation to Sandals SouthCoast! Between the breath-taking views, amazing food, a mile long beach to walk, activities at every turn & friendly wait-staff this place was top notch!! This is our third Sandals trip and of the 3 this is without a doubt the #1 resort, we can hardly wait to go back!! As always, thank you for all your direction and execution of an amazing flawless trip!

Thank you!

-- The Metcalf's

The Rothmeyer's

 

Bonnie,

First off, I don't think we would have been able to find this resort without your help because it's very difficult to know which resorts are the right fit when you have never been. We also appreciated how much detail went into the trip, flights, airport transportation, and letting us know we had so many different restaurant options at our sister resorts that were included in our "all inclusive" package! Going on a trip with my two best girlfriends was much needed and you exceeded our expectations with the property. Pueblo Bonito Pacifica took great care of us! Thank you thank you thank you!

-- Shantel, Emma and Kathryn

 

My husband and I just returned from a relaxing trip to Jamaica! Jamaica is our favorite destination and we love Sandals because we know that we will be taken care of. I've never been to a Sandals I didn't love! We're so thankful we have Bonnie to set up all of our arrangements for a hassle free trip, free from worry. The only thing I ever have to worry about is how heavy my suitcase is.

A few of our favorites from Sandals South Coast include; calm waters, relaxing vibes, ease of scuba diving (left right from the resort dock), pools, Latitudes (over the water bar) and of course the people. Jamaica is our second home.

-- Russ & Jill

 

We had an awesome time in the Cayman's !!! Thank you so much for a awesome fun filled trip Bonnie!!!

Sandals Negril, Jamaica- January 2019. This was our 2nd Caribbean vacation planned by Bonnie of Bon Voyage. We appreciate her enthusiasm and knowledge making our travel stress free! Her recommendations are spot on to our travel preferences. Our stay was phenomenal! Sandals Negril is an amazing destination!

-- Greg & Beth.

 

Our honeymoon was AMAZING! We loved Puerto Vallarta and will definitely be back. Everyone was so nice, the food and drinks were so good, and there were always new things to do and see throughout the resort. I loved the variety of restaurants, that you could relax by the ocean or by the pool, and the spa.

Bonnie Thank you so much for organizing our travels and making it stress free!

We will contact you without hesitation once we decide to plan another trip!

Thank you again,

-- Abbi & Nate.

 

Our trip was amazing. We LOVE Turks & Caicos. The upgrade to the Italian suite more than exceeded our expectations! Last time we spent most of our days by the Italian pool, this year it made it easier because it was below our balcony. What more could you ask for?? Veda loved Elmo, the pool & the water park, Pat enjoyed playing tennis and I enjoyed time in the sun! The food was delicious and the options are endless. Great family vacation, once again! Thanks Bonnie!

 

Bonnie!

Exceeded our expectations is accurate... our vacation was great! Definitely a family trip we won't forget anytime soon, having Pat Lisa and Veda lead us around was so fun we can't wait until our next adventure with them. We have traveled numerous times to the Caribbean and Mexico by ourselves and having P L & V along to share the adventure was so fun for kids and adults.

The upgrade was unexpected and quite the surprise, we actually didn't realize it happened until after we were home to recap with Pat and Lisa and compared back to our itinerary. The Italian Village was so nice and having conjoining rooms was perfect for the kids who ran crazy between the rooms. Location of the village and location our room was great within the resort, Pat and Lisa said "really nice in comparison to Caribbean"...

Beaches will definitely be considered going forward for family vacations, we were very impressed.

Thanks so much for your assistance, we had a BLAST, especially Beckett! We look forward to our next vacation whenever it may come.

Hi Bonnie!

We had an AMAZING time!!!! We want to thank you so much for helping us plan our trip!!!! The Westin and the Ritz were both wonderful and each provided the atmosphere/activities we were looking for!!! I'd have to say, the Kapalua area was my favorite! It was so beautiful!!! The Ritz didn't hurt either :).

Your restaurant recommendations - particularly Lahaina Grill and Kimo's were AWESOME!!! The other two restaurants we really enjoyed and would recommend were Merriman's and Monkeypod! We did a snorkeling excursion one day, and then rented a car and did the Road to Hana and Mama's Fish House on another day!

Best!

-- Lindsey

 

Hi Bonnie!!

Sorry for the delayed response. We had such an amazing time!! We loved the culture of Barbados! We participated in a lot of the group activities and tours. The weather was amazing every single day, even though the forecast looked like it was going to be not so great! It was the trip of a lifetime!

I think the only thing slightly disappointing was the beach. We had to travel quite a ways to find the pretty water I was looking for, but overall we were really pleased. Sandals is like no other and we cannot wait to go back to another one or have you plan our next adventure, wherever that may be!

Best!

-- Zoe and Danny

 

Hello Bonnie:

Thank you so much for the delicious chocolate covered strawberries you had sent to our room on board the Princess Cruise Ship.

Our trip went so smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The beautiful scenery, wildlife, excursions, ship accommodation, food, entertainment, train ride, just to name a few, were awesome.

The seven days on the ship went by so fast as we were busy with great entertainment, delious meals, fantastic scenic views, meeting new people, etc. (Not getting motion sickness was even better.).

We only had one day of bad weather and that was when we arrived in Juneau. Heavy fog and light rain all day caused all plane and helicopter excursions to be cancelled. We were able to book a different helicopter excursion out of Skagway the next day. What an experience seeing the views from above as well as walking on a glacier.

The weather was clear and sunny on the train ride to Denali National Park as well as the next two days. We were able to view the top of Denali and were told how lucky we were as close to 70 percent of vacationers never observe it due to cloud cover and rainy weather. The tour guides, bus drivers, park rangers, and others provided interesting history and meaningful information making the trip up to Denali even more enjoyable.

The luggage transfers provided by Princess cruises went so smoothly. It was so nice not having to lift or lug luggage around once we arrived at the hotel in Vancouver on day one and up until we departed for home on the last day of our trip at the Anchorage airport. The luggage arrived ahead of us and was waiting in our room prior to us boarding the cruise ship as well as to the various hotels rooms we stayed at after the cruise.

Thank you so much for the well planned trip!

-- Tom and Peggy

 

Hi Bonnie,

It was great. It was so good to be in our ancestors' homelands. Thanks for all your planning and being our consultant when we needed to contact you from abroad. We felt you were right there to help.

I'm attaching a photo from Iceland, two from Norway (Bergan and Oslo) and one from Denmark!

We will need your services again soon. We've loved traveling.

Thanks again, -- Kaye & Merle.

 

 

Hi Bonnie! Our trip was absolutely wonderful!! Thank you for taking the time to find this tour with Collette when our initial tour with Image was full. We didn't have to worry about anything--our tour director took care of everything. The group dinners were wonderful and accommodations were great! I would also be happy to recommend you and Collette tours to friends and family and will keep you in mind with any future trips!

Thanks for all your help!

-- Jennifer and Kelli.

 

 

Hi Bonnie,
Our honeymoon was wonderful! We had a great time. Thank you so much for all of the help you provided during the planning process. Sitting down with the two of us and showing the differences between various all inclusive resorts was so helpful. You helped us pick a location and resort that was perfect for us. With planning a wedding, you made it easy to just ENJOY our honeymoon without having to worry about any of the details.

All of the staff and the details at the Excellence Riviera-Cancun were truly wonderful and allowed us to relax and enjoy our honeymoon!

We hope to work with you again in the future, Bonnie!!

-- Ellie and Esley.

 

 

This was our first experience with Bon Voyage, and as a result will be the only way that we travel in the future. Every aspect of the trip was covered and the only thing we had to do was board our plane. Our trip to the Ireland and Northern Ireland was a wonderful balance of sightseeing, history, culture, food, and fellowship with people from all over the world. Bonnie took care of everything and went above and beyond to make our trip as enjoyable and worry free as possible. I highly recommend reaching out to Bonnie if you are ever interested in travelling to get an experience that is customized to your preferences. Five stars and two thumbs way up.

-- Troy and Kristen G.

 

Hey Bonnie!

Our honeymoon was an absolute dream! The trip was perfectly planned and far exceeded my expectations. Everything was excellent, from the flight to our transportation crew, to the hotels, etc. We could not have been more pleased! I would highly highly highly recommend Bedarra to anyone. It was a little slice of heaven I never knew existed. They treated us like absolute royalty. Our villa was beautiful, secluded and intimate. I honestly cannot say enough about that place. I was just telling Justin the other day during the blizzard, that I may be in a bit of a depression from how amazing our honeymoon and the last few months have been. You need to make a trip to Australia someday! I would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for all your work on planning this for us. Everything was seamless.

-- Cassie & Justin

 

Hi Bonnie,

The trip was great. Tower Isle staff are unbelievable in all ways. So friendly, caring, professional, informative, fun loving, etc....I cannot say enough good about them.

The resort itself was beautiful, clean, we felt safe and no concerns.

The gift shop at the resort was awesome. It had everything you could need. We chose not to go on the shopping excursion because of this. Vendors on the beach were good also. I bought some wonderful items at both.

Only thing I was sad about is we were unable to go on the 2 excursions we wanted so badly to go on: 1. Snorkeling 2. Glass bottom boat. The ocean was too rough to go. I totally understand, as we can't control Mother Nature.

We did go on the Catamaran Excursion. It was awesome. We had so much fun and the memories from our whole trip we will cherish.

Our 3 grown sons, were so glad their Dad and I had such a good time and had a great experience.

The Mobay Service was excellent. No complaints.

Shuttle back to the airport when we left home was great. The bus driver of the shuttle was so informative also and so funny and kind. We tipped him well!!!

We did not run into any problems at all!

The flights were great. Delta was great.

You planned and scheduled our trip flawless. A BIG Thanks to you Bonnie!!!!

Thanks again!!!!!!

--- Lori Ann

 

Hey Bonnie!

Loved Sandals south coast! Great suggestion, everything went so smooth with our transportation and flights and the resort was sooo good. Food was great and amenities top notch. Sandals just has it all! The staff are always so nice and truly want you to relax. Loved our driver Cheryl(not sure on spelling?) she was so funny and gave us so much background information and insight into Jamaican culture. We still would love to go back to Negril but interested in trying some other sandals locations with your recommendation, maybe on another island. Overall no complaints just wish we were still there! Did not schedule any other trips while we were there. I'll let you know in future if we have the desire to go somewhere again. Thanks for everything, you truly make the trips go so smooth.

--- Drew

 

Hi Bonnie,

The trip was out of this world. We couldn't have asked for a better trip, choice of hotels, tour guide, group of people, excursions, or restaurants. The only thing we had no control of was the weather.
It rained about 60 % of the time we were there.
We got caught in a Monsoon the 3 days in Cairns so did not go out beyond Green Island to snorkel. I've never seen so much rain consistently in my life A new experience.

But the Hotels were very nice. They delivered our suitcases to our rooms and picked them up there when we departed. They were very comfortable and accommodating if we had to leave a little early. Beyond expectations!!!

Our Tour Guide Kim was outstanding. Everyday she would go over what we were going to do the next day, made sure we had transportation to get to where we needed to be. Kim made a list of restaurants and sights we might want to see for our free time. We never left way too early or ever felt rushed for rest breaks or picture opportunities. She had been on this tour many times before, although not from the area, knew it very well. If she didn't have an answer to a question she would have it very quickly. She had a great personality and a great sense of humor.

Our Bus drivers were very knowledgeable, and had great sense of humor. They were both very good drivers. We never felt worried about their ability to navigate the bus in all different type of locations. Our Bus Driver in New Zealand, Fly, always had great ideas for dinner and bar locations, especially for St. Patrick's day. Some crazy busy ones and some not so crazy, we hit both. He lives south of Christchurch and is very passionate about his home land.

The food choices were great. The first included dinner had many choices including one entree with Croc, kangaroo, and Barrundi (sp?) so some were brave and shared with us un-brave ones.

For someone who doesn't like set tours, Morgan was pleasantly surprised and we got to cross off a # 1 bucket list item.

Thank you so much for making our trip the best ever.

--- Barb

 

Bonnie-

It was fantastic!! Thank you so much for helping Rob plan it. we had a great time at the Hard Rock Cancun. Good food and atmosphere.

--- Thanks the Haugenoe's

 

Just returned from our first trip to Royal Plantation. It was small but very intimate and classy. The food was incredible, especially the seafood. The staff was amazing from our butlers Audell and Chadworth,the beach servers, Cleon and Daniello, the play makers Jason and Roman to the the maids and ground keepers. We can not say enough good things about this resort. We would highly recommend it.

--- Roger and Beverly

 

Hi Bonnie! We had a fabulous time in Montego Bay! Weather was great hotel overall was great!! Our time went way too fast!! We also took at Catamaran to snorkel and to Dunn's River Falls and it was a great time!! Thank you for all of your help!

--- Kelly

 

Hello Bonnie!!!!

Our trip was FABULOUS. Such an accommodating resort for families. There are so many different restaurants to choose from and the food was great, not one bad meal. The weather was perfect and the resort wasn't packed so we didn't feel like we had to rush to reserve spots by the pool everyday. Veda loved the waterpark, as did Pat and I :) We even dropped her off at Camp Sesame for 2 days and she loved it. We had such a great time, we booked again!

Thanks again!
--- The Arnason'

 

Bonnie,

I can say without a doubt that we had the BEST TIME on our trip in Puerto Vallarta! The hotel was fantastic! There was so much to do, wonderful food, great service, and a gorgeous beach and view. We utilized our Delta Vacations rep and did the Rhythm of the Nights boat tour, walked around the Malecon, took a day trip to surf in Sayulita, and of course lazed around the pool whenever possible. Thank you so much for planning this for us and for this awesome recommendation! I will definitely be going back to this location and hotel.

Thank you!!

--- Hannah, Ross, Morgan, & Russ

 

Thank you. WE loved the Punta Cana Princess! The staff was absolutely amazing!

 

THANK YOU! Our trip was perfect from start to finish!

Bonnie and her crew at Bon Voyage were so much fun to work with. They ensured that everything was in order from beginning to end. Bonnie worked with an on site wedding planner at the Hard Rock to make sure that our special day was perfect. She was prompt in answering questions and made sure that we had everything we needed. We literally just had to show up.

Our group had to fly in from several different airports and wanted to be somewhat close at the resort so working with Bonnie was the way to go. She made sure that our travel times and rooms were all close together. I would highly recommend Bonnie and Bon Voyage.

--- Tara & Jason

 

We have been clients of Bonnie and Bon Voyage Travel since 2005. Bonnie and her agents are attentive and very detailed oriented. Bonnie always proposes excellent suggestions for trip and excursion options. She and her agents help with planning and follow through with all the details. Although problems have been rare, the Bon Voyage staff has quickly resolved any issues that have arisen. We wouldn't use any other travel agency.

--- Brad and Gayle Aafedt

 

Hi Bonnie,

Our trip to Riu Ocho Rios was amazing!!! The resort was beautiful and awesome. All staff were wonderful. The entertainment was incredible. I couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Thanks so much for helping us book this trip of a lifetime!

Thanks again,

--- Courtney

 

Bonnie,

We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend.

With our exchanges, we were literally handed from one person to the next from airport to resort and back. I don't think we even looked at a sign because someone was always with us. We loved Secrets. It was 100% private with a beautiful beach. The resort had two sections you could go between. One side for quiet and the other for action. Spa was good. Restaurants served beautiful meals. Drinks flowed freely. Staff was well trained and extremely friendly. Lots of jungle creatures around. Behind our bungalow was the Costa Rican jungle. The howler monkeys started in early in the morning along with all kinds of other creatures. Even had a pet something that kept appearing on our patio and would scratch on the screen at night. Looked like as skunk but wasn't.

We only went off the resort twice. Our Delta rep at the resort met with us the morning after we checked in and reviewed all of our options and interests.

· We ended up whitewater rafting, which is one of the pictures. It was an 8 mile stretch with up to class 4 rapids, which was intense. It took over two hours. We were fully immersed in the jungle and even saw white-faced monkeys in their natural habitat. Fell off a couple of times, but outside of some major bruises…survived! I'd do it again.

· We also went deep-sea fishing. Elton wanted his best chance at a marlin so we went offshore about 1.5 hours, but didn't catch any. However, the dolphins ran with the boat, the baby manatees were flying out of the water and schools of stingrays would swim by. Elton and I each caught a yellow-fin tuna, which is the other pic attached. Since we couldn't ship home, our Delta contact that organized our trip, made arrangements for us to hand our fish off to the Executive Chef at the Secrets. He had two evenings meals created for us. The first night he sent up room service with tuna sushi and pan-fried tuna, which they set up as a beautiful meal on our patio. The second night the chef at our favorite restaurant prepared tuna tartare and tuna three ways. It was amazing and probably the highlight of our stay. They didn't charge anything extra for doing this (except for really good wine to go with it - they have a great wine cellar).

We were well taken care of, I would definitely consider a Secrets again.

Thanks for all of your work - you make traveling so easy!

--- Karen and Elton

 

Hi Bonnie, I would strongly recommend MELIA Braco Village to future Jamaican travelers. Great family location, awesome beach access, very personable staff, good restaurant selection, nice rooms, fun extracurricular activities offered, and an overall “small clean village” feel to it - making it easy to walk to all locations and activities.

I’d strongly suggest paying the extra “express immigration fee” to expedite the immigration process into Jamaica (took us close to 1 1/2 hours). Along with signing up for “Global entry” coming back into the US. The US immigration process was a horrendous confusing line, that lasted well over an hour, and due to missed flights delayed our arrival home an extra day. I’ve never seen it that bad.

Aside from immigration on both sides, it was a great trip!

 
--- Kevin Register

 

Our family had a fabulous vacation booked by Bonnie at Bon Voyage Travel Leaders. Bonnie was given a few requests we had as a family and she could not have found a more perfect location. We stayed at MELIA Braco Village in Jamaica and every one of us looks forward to the day we can return. The staff was exceptional, the activities available kept everyone active, and the resort was perfect for our large group.

My husband and I visited Sandals Southcoast in Jamaica for our honeymoon and had the most amazing time. We stayed in the honeymoon beachfront walkout located in the French Village, which I believe was the perfect room for newlyweds. We were thankful Bonnie placed us in the French Village considering it was more secluded than the other villages, but we still had a hottub, pool, swim-up bar, and restaurant located in our Village. We loved to stay close during the day, but also enjoyed the walk on the beach to dinner each evening. Our room was located on the first floor, which made it convenient to walk right out to our pool. One of the days we were their, the housekeepers created swans out of our towels, and left us a welcome specific for honeymooners. We were able to fill out a card with breakfast options to be delivered that next morning. The resort itself was just as the pictures showed on the website, beautiful shores with beautiful weather each day. We were impressed by how friendly and happy the staff were no matter which restaurant, bar, or area of the resort we were in. The resort offers many excursions and services as well. I was able to get a wonderful deep-relief massage on the beach included in our package. Also included in our package was a sunset catamaran cruise with food, drink, and music. Options for excursions were endless, but we decided on the excursion to the YS Falls and zip-lining. We enjoyed every second of our honeymoon in Jamaica, and will be back as soon as we can!

Thank you Bonnie!

Hi Bonnie,

The Fitzwilliams in Dublin was wonderful-as was Ireland, but we definitely needed a few more days there to b's able to explore everything. Location of the hotel was wonderful for proximity to tour buses, shopping, and eating. The hotel staff were wonderful, and hotel itself was beautiful.

The Crowne Plaza in London was OK. The room wasn't anything special-a little small to be honest, but very nice location in regards to Tube access. There were also several decent restaurants, shops, and coffee shops nearby which was nice. The staff members were nice, but we didn't end up with much interaction with them. Could definitely have used a few more days in London, but we saw almost everything on our list.

The NH Barbizan was also a lovely hotel with a great location! So close to the train station that we arrived at, as well as super easy access to canal boats and tram lines. The staff at the hotel were nice, but we had to call down to the front desk 3 times after running out of toilet paper and towels because our room wasn't cleaned the 2nd morning by mistake. The room was lovely, and location to small shops for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was wonderful. Also close to a shopping center. Overall, very nice and easy to access city.

Thank you do much for all of your help planning our amazing trip-it was truly amazing!

Hi Bonnie,

Our trip was so amazing, thanks for all of your help coordinating the trip! We loved both Paris and Prague, so I am glad that we got to visit both. We had many highlights of the trip! Some of my favorites in Paris were the Eiffel Tour (especially at night), The Louvre, and just walking around the city. The highlights of Prague were Old Town Square, Charles Bridge, Taste of Prague foodie tour, various pubs and the beer, and the Redman walking tour. We plan to go back to Europe in the future (possibly Italy next time) and I will definitely use your services again! It makes the planning process so much easier with your expertise and recommendations. I have attached a few pictures!

Our trip to Disneyworld was amazing! It was our first family trip and I can’t think of anything I would change. Thank you Bon Voyage Travel for booking everything for us! I love that I didn’t have to worry about flights, transportation, hotel, and park tickets! You handled all the big things and all I had to worry about was our day to day activities. Bonnie helped me with our dinner reservations and recommended some amazing places to eat. We weren’t disappointed in anything! You were so helpful and always there when we had questions or concerns. THANK YOU!!!

I loved staying on Disney property. We didn’t have to rent a car because Disney provides transportation from the airport to each hotel, as well as different types of transportation to each park. I LOVED that I didn’t have to worry about directions or parking or tolls! We stayed at the Art of Animation and it was great! They have the largest pool of any Disney hotel and we spent some time there almost every day! The entire hotel was just a fun place to be at with all the different Disney movie artwork and themes everywhere.

Bonnie recommended getting Park Hopper passes and I’m so glad we did. We would go to one park for the day and then eat dinner at another park. It helped to break up the day and we were able to go on more rides or find new experiences. And all the Parks were so much fun! We had a great time at all 4 parks and we even went to Disney Springs for some supper and shopping one night.

The Disney Dining Plan was also a must. I think it’s a great value when you take advantage of the Character Dining experiences like we did. We had dinner at the Garden Grill and met Mickey, Chip & Dale, and Pluto one night. Then we had dinner at the Tusker house and met Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Mickey. We also had breakfast at Chef Mickey and met Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Donald. The kids weren’t too interested in standing in lines to meet characters, so this was a great way to get pictures! You just enjoy your meal and they come to you! Lilly and I also had a Princess dinner with Prince Charming and Cinderella while the boys enjoyed a fun night at the Boardwalk.

Booking with Bon Voyage:

Bon Voyage made our travel experience so easy. We had everything taken care of from shuttles, to hotel, to all connecting flights and times. Bonnie was available for us to answer any and all questions that arose. From multiple meetings, emails, and phone calls, she was kind, welcoming, and there for us all with a smile! She helped to guide us to make the absolute perfect decision regarding honeymoon place. It was exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely be booking with Bon Voyage again, hopefully in the near future!!

Sandals Emerald Bay Resort:

The Sandals Emerald Bay Resort was absolutely beautiful and amazingly clean! I was surprised to see how close of a walk everything was! Even from one end of the resort to the other, it wasn't too long of a walk. You were never too far from the beach and they had so many water sports included. We kayaked one day and it was so amazing to view the beautiful water that close. We never had a problem finding a spot in the pool and enjoyed the swim-up bar. When we wanted to relax a little more, we spent some of our afternoons at the quiet pool. There were always cabanas and relaxation spots open. The room was amazing with great water pressure in the showers and such comfortable beds! It may have been exhaustion from the sun and the fun days, but as soon as our heads hit the pillows we were out! We always came back to a clean room with plenty of towels and never had any complaints or problems with cleanliness. All the restaurants were pristine and beautiful!

Food and Drink:

The food and drink options were unreal. We went to every restaurant besides Bombay (Indian Food), and we were never disappointed! The only disappointment we had was that we couldn't try them again! It was all so delicious! The portion sizes were smaller, but when having a three-course meal, any bigger would have been way too much food! Each restaurant had their own signature drink, which was another bonus to try each restaurant. Our favorite was the signature drink from the Parisian restaurant! It was so great to still have all the options for liquor at the resort. Top shelf or not, they didn't short you out on any alcohol. Unlike some other all-inclusive resorts, they were very generous with the alcohol! All the drinks were great, and the bartenders were extremely fun and talented!

Service:

From start to finish the service experienced with Sandals Emerald Bay was amazing. As soon as you arrived, they greeted you with a cold washcloth to wipe down after a long day of travel and always made sure to get the door for you. Midway through the trip, my husband and I both came down with head colds. One night, with the gift shop being closed, he went to the front desk to check if there was any way to get some sort of relief with medication. They called the resort nurse who brought a bottle of Nyquil for us to use. This saved us! But that's not all, a couple days later we received a phone call from the nurse checking in to make sure we were still doing alright and if there was anything else she could do for us. This is one example of the amazing service we experienced.

Golf at Emerald Reef:

The golf course staff was very friendly and easy to work with; from booking a tee time to checking in for my round the entire process was easy and enjoyable. The course itself was immaculate and extremely fun to play. The scenic ocean front holes were breathtaking. Riding along in the cart was just as enjoyable because of the beautiful views and the amazing course!! We will be coming back to play this course in the future.

Swimming with the Pigs Excursion:

Swimming with the Pigs made our trip!! The actual pigs were such a small portion of what all was experienced on the excursion! The excursion started out with feeding, swimming, and holding the pigs, and then you traveled around the small islands and got to experience all The Bahamas has to offer. Even the bus ride to where you got on the boat gave you the opportunity to see more of the island that you wouldn't have gotten the chance to see had you just stayed on the resort. Throughout the excursion, you stopped at several small islands to snorkel, hike a small cliff, and even had the chance to jump off the boat into the middle of the ocean! For what you paid for, you got to experience so much more. It was absolutely worth every penny!

--- Nicole

Hey Bonnie,

The trip was awesome! The Sea Dream rules! We booked another "open booking" while we were aboard to get the extra savings for you to handle. Here's a couple pictures!!

- Mike

Hi Bonnie,

We had a marvelous time on our trip! Everyone loved our guide, Karina. She was very knowledgeable and did a great job of keeping track of us and keeping us informed about our schedule. Most people indicated they would love to do another trip with Karina. The weather was ideal for the entire trip - only a couple of showers one day. Most of the time it was in the 70's or low 80's. The last day in Berlin it got to 90, but we were on the bus for much of that tour of the city. Collette did a great job of arranging hotels, local guides, and terrific food for joint meals! We jelled well as a group and enjoyed getting to know the people that joined us in Frankfurt (our total number came to 34).

Thanks for your part in helping with arrangements! The Triangle bus was right on time to pick us up at the airport and deliver us to the Sharon parking lot. Except for a little jet lag, we're all doing fine and I'm getting ready to share a couple of photos this Sunday already with my sermon.

John

Thanks for the welcome back, Bonnie! We really had a wonderful time, and Collette did a marvelous job.

"This was our first time traveling as part of a tour group and this was a great way to go! What a gift to have skilled travel agents plan our itinerary, manage the logistics of flights, hotels, and ground transportation, and schedule tours with local guides. (We wholeheartedly recommend Collette Travel for group tours.) The four pastors who organized the trip and recruited participants have modeled generous hospitality and set the tone for each of us to discover commonalities with the strangers around us. Having a chance to meet and get to know a new group of friends this week while we travel across Germany together has really been a blessing. Most of all, we feel extremely fortunate for the accompaniment of our tour leader, Karina. She has played the role of mother hen, making sure all 34 of us get across the street safely; she has shared with us from her vast knowledge of European history and modern German life; and she has been a fount of helpful tips and tricks for traveling in a foreign country. Perhaps when you've been leading tour groups like this 240 days a year for 30 years you get really good at it, but she's among the very best that we could imagine."

Thanks very much,

Oby

It was a great trip, Bonnie. Wonderful guides, nice pace, so interesting. So glad I went.

Bonnie,

First off thanks again for everything! This was our first all inclusive experience and it by far exceeded our expectations! Hard Rock Cancun was amazing!! The resort itself was immaculate! From the hotel lobby, entertainment areas, bathrooms restaurants, pool and outdoor grounds everything was always kept clean and taken care of! I loved the smaller feel of this resort (we have been to larger non all inclusive ones) everything was all just a quick walk away and with 1 pool you always knew where the action would be!

Good Variety of Food Options and Food offered everywhere!! From Poolside Snacks to Poolside Meals, Large Buffet and 4 Sit Down Dining Options! The food great!! The bar staff was super they always had great drink recommendations and even taught us how to make a few! Also 24 hour room service was great for our late nights!

Accommodations were great!! (Thanks so much for the Ocean view and side by side rooms with Matt and Coltyn) our room and bathroom was cleaned and organized everyday.

Entertainment by far made the trip what it was! The staff was AWESOME! From noon till night there was always something to do beach volleyball, water volleyball, ping pong. The poolside entertainment staff was outstanding! They took the time to make it fun for everyone even if you just wanted to sit on a lounger and tan all day! The evening shows were great as well…Micheal Jackson, Break Dancing, Circus, Deva they all had incredible talent and were so fun to watch.

The staff everywhere was great and never wanted you to life a finger, my sunglasses were stolen and a staff member found them within a a couple days, the bar staff was attentive and fun, the cleaning staff was always ready to help, don't even try to open your umbrella, move a lounger etc because they won't let you they want to help you with everything!

The beach was large and clean and the ocean water was great! I often hear from friends when they return from their trips about how they couldn't even walk on the beach cause of broken glass rocks etc and that the ocean water was gross and full of seaweed..none of that here it was absolutely beautiful!

Highly Highly recommend Hard Rock Cancun!! A trip we won't ever forget!! Thanks again for the great recommendation! - Brittney and Andrew

Bonnie, our whole trip went very smoothly, flights, transfers, bags to the rooms. Riu Sante Fe was very nice, large compound, numerous pools and bars! A different restaurant nightly. We did a whale watching tour through our desk area, easy and fun. Would recommend to friends, and would go there again. Enclosed a couple of snaps. Thanks Kim and Al

Hi there! We had a wonderful time at beaches Turks and Caicos! Wonderful property and you really can't beat the beach and water! Lots of great restaurants! It was on my bucket list so glad I was able to fulfill her one! How do you not have fun? If you don't it's your own damn fault! Haha! Keep us in mind if any great deals arise! Maybe wouldn't mind checking out a Sandels somewhere! Thanks again for all your help and planning!! Tanya Jerod Paige & Sydney

Bonnie,

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii with the family, we had great weather and the accommodations were top notch!

We enjoyed our visit to Oahu and the full day tour of Pearl Harbor. This time around we were able to tour the Bowfin submarine and also the Pacific Aviation Museum which was more than we expected and the kids were interested the entire time. The only drawback is it gets to be a long day so by the end we were pretty tired. We were also able to view the fireworks of the Honolulu Festival right from the balcony of our hotel room at the Outrigger Reef so very nice! Brooklyn enjoyed Waikiki Beach, it was hard to get her out of the water because she really loved swimming in the ocean.

Kauai had so many unique and interesting features we were busy most days touring the island. The Grand Hyatt was amazing with their rooms and pools, the beach on the other hand was nice in ways but very rocky. It was a red flag surf every day so we did not venture too far out in the water swimming.

Tuesday we went out Deep Sea Fishing with Captain J's Deep Sea Fishing Kauai, we only caught one Yellow Fin Tuna but it was still a fun adventure and one our son Braden will never forget.

Tuesday we went out Deep Sea Fishing with Captain J's Deep Sea Fishing Kauai, we only caught one Yellow Fin Tuna but it was still a fun adventure and one our son Braden will never forget.

Thursday we drove back down to Port Allen and toured/snorkeled the Na Pali coastline with Catamaran Kahanu. We really didn't know what to expect with this expedition because all the other tours were full and this was the only one left who had room when we booked. We had to check in at a little rustic wood shack and boy did I have my doubts. In the end we could not have been more happy, it was a smaller catamaran and he really catered to the kids. We came across some spinner dolphins and the captain made sure Brooklyn and Angel were in the front of the boat to get a close up view. The ocean was calm that day and since we were on a smaller vessel he was able to get us right up to the shoreline, he noted this was only the fifth or sixth time he was able to do this all winter because of the surf. At one point he even was able to position the rear of the boat under a waterfall so pretty neat! We were also able to snorkel on a reef that most times they couldn't so it was just a fun experience. The views of the Na Pali coastline were breathtaking at times. Thursday evening we drove over to the Sheraton to take in the Aulii Luau. It was not as nice as the Old Lahaina Luau on Maui that Angel and I attended back in 2014 but it was still a good time with great food and entertainment.

Friday we took it easy and relaxed at the beach and pools of the resort and took it easy. Saturday was tough to get onto the plane but it was time to come home.

Thanks again for a wonderful vacation once again, we really enjoyed it! We are already saving for our next adventure!

Travis Angel Braden & Brooklyn

Bonnie...Once again a spectacular time. Spending time with special people in breathtaking surroundings is the best of the best of times. Thank you for all the attention to the details that make traveling with you so enjoyable. Your grace and generosity is always so appreciated. Thanks for more amazing memories.

Ken and Jennie

Good Morning Bonnie.

What a great trip exploring the Caribbean was for us! Trips like this are best enjoyed with friends and even more so, the making of new friends, (some from all over the globe). Linda and I cannot put into words how much we appreciate all you do for us. Every detail from A to Z and then some! The real bonus is that we DO get to travel with you as friends! Can't place a value on that.

If we said the last SeaDream I was a trip of a lifetime, this Seadream II upped the bar. The crew, (some we knew from SDI) was the 5 star. We were treated like royalty. Back to reality now, CRAP! Now we have to work on losing the 5 to 6 pounds of fabulous gourmet food we over indulged in, ha!

Anyway, Bonnie and Mark, many thanks! We are looking forward to our next great adventure. ????

All the Best…dave/linda

Hi Bonnie - We had a fabulous time on Seadream. First off let me tell you the line in Barbados read 3 hour wait when we got off the plane!!?? so excellent call on the meet and greet!! As usual the service on the boat was excellent. There were 80 passengers 97 crew. We even knew a few of the crew from previous cruises. We certainly enjoy the spa. We each had 2 massages, pedicures. This cruise is very southern Caribbean so it has a rainforest feel. We did have periodic soft warm rain. It was very short lived though. I think we prefer the mid Caribbean. The weather is better and we missed Yost and Virgin Gorda. The highlight stop was of course, St Bart's, We love it there. We had a bottle of wine and great fish at a new restaurant on Shell Beach. Shellona...You might want to make a reservation for lunch there. We had a beachside table and it was fun to people watch. Feels very European. Again, thanks so much for starting our love of Seadream cruising. We love it! And we will get over to the Mediterranean soon.

Jeff & Kim

Hi Bonnie,

The trip was excellent. Everything went great. Renae and I greatly appreciate how easy Bon Voyage and Delta Vacations made the whole process. The Hyatt Ziva is an excellent all-inclusive resort. The location is one of the best in Cancun. There were multiple on-resort activities, countless restaurants, and excellent service. The Hyatt resort name has provided us with some great experiences over the years. Thanks again. We will be using you again in the future.

Brandon & Renae

Bonnie - I can say the vacation wasn't "restful"…but that was our fault J…we wanted to go and see as much as we could on each Island so we went and went…the cruise ship greatly accommodated this by traveling at night and always being at a port during the day.

We had some rough seas, trade winds were really rocking…our cabin was in a good place on the ship…being in the middle… One of the attached pictures was taken on the back of the cruise ship at sunset as we passed the Kauai Napali Coast…the other isn't on the ship, but rather from a Luau we attended while on Oahu.

Kelly & Jean

Bonnie,

Our stay at Hermitage Bay in Antigua was Awesome! We happened to get the cabin located highest up on the hill overlooking the water. Our view was breathtaking. The staff were super sweet and really made a great effort to make our stay as pleasant and easy as possible. Even the drivers to and from the airport was really nice. Heck, even the workers in the airport were happy. Everybody was just sooooo happy! It's contagious and we were smiling the whole week. The food was fantastic and we even got to eat goat! The accommodations were second to none and the grounds were immaculate. One thing we noticed was that it was so quiet. No lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers or anything. Even the gold carts they rode around in were electric. Super quiet. They needed to mow on Tues. so they actually left us a paper letter in our room telling us they would be mowing the next day from 10AM-2PM. A letter! And we never even noticed. Overall, great week at a great resort. Thanks for planning that trip for us!

- Mike

Bonnie,

Dreams Punta Cana was absolutely wonderful! We're even thinking about going back next year! The food, drinks, activities and service was absolutely outstanding. We had such a relaxing vacation and it was the perfect way to celebrate our marriage on our honeymoon! Everything was absolutely perfect, thank you so much for planning our perfect getaway :)

Logan & Sarah

Bonnie,

We had a great time the weather was fantastic, the employees of Sandals were awesome so friendly and fun. It was by far our best trip yet! Thank you Bonnie for all your help organizing our trip. It was hassle free. We will contact you when we decide on another trip. Wonderful! The Jamaican people couldn't have been more gracious and catered to our every need! The food was great, the drinks were good -- the weather beautiful! Very relaxing! Thanks for helping us get to paradise! Thanks again Bonnie!

Bonnie-

Our trip was incredible! It was the perfect honeymoon for us.

Some highlights of the trip: guided snorkeling tours, golf (seriously though, the back nine? Awesome views of the ocean!), swimming with the pigs and feeding the iguanas on our excursion (Neil actually let an iguana crawl up his arm and onto his back), paddle boarding on the ocean, sailing, enjoying cocktails at the swim up bar in the main pool, playing tennis and ping pong, piano sing-a-long, and of course all of the food- delicious! The dinner reservations were so fun, we loved getting dressed up!

And the water there is a turquoise blue... unlike anything we have ever seen!!! Oh and that sand, it was so soft- like powdered sugar!

Thanks again- we look forward to working with you again!

All our best,

Jess and Neil

Bonnie:
Once again Bon Voyage Travel pulled it off. We were looking for a last minute vacation to somewhere warm, and were on a budget. We gave them our budget, and they put together a fabulous 5 night vacation at the Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. From the second we got to the airport until the time we got back home, everything was taken care of. What a relaxing vacation, and thank you again Bon Voyage Travel for taking care of us!

Russell & Paulette

Our trip was great; food was fabulous at the resort - Riu Reggae

"We had a great time in Cancun once again. Everything went very well from the time of booking to the time we got back home. Can't wait for our next trip!"

Chris and Mindy

Hi Bonnie,
It was AMAZING!! We just loved it so much from the traveling from Winnipeg to Toronto to Antigua, it was all very good!! When we arrived their was 3 other planes that arrived so we had to wait for customs for 2 hours but we missed out on the rain the one time it did, so that was ok. Our butlers were so great and it defiantly made the trip having them around for us!! My husband hurt his foot before we left so he had a hard time moving around but it was still so great. Antigua is just breath taking I don't know how else to put it, the water is gorgeous and such a fun and friendly environment. The vendors were the only downfall at the beach, they bugged us a lot since it was a public beach. We loved the pool and the food was all so delicious!! My husband has never been a traveler or hard to get him to come to my parents lake to hang out in the sun and he booked us another trip for January 2019 at Barbados, I am beyond excited and so thrilled! We did sign up at the loyalty place. It was just the best week of my life, we really loved being on the boat tour and seeing all the islands, it did seem like it was a long day being on a boat but it was still a lot of fun and it was just breath taking seeing the beautiful landscaping and water and we snorkel which was a lot Of fun. We saw a sting ray! Our skin was ready to come back to the snow but we did not want too! Knowing we get another trip is making me a happy wife and can't wait for that! We can't thank you enough giving us a honeymoon we have always dreamt of and couldn't of been more perfect and beautiful down to our room was just amazing!! We defiantly can't wait to go back there and everyone we met has been there 3-4 times!! One funny story I thought I shock our patio door and I didn't and we were getting ready for bed watching tv and Cody saw a lizard on our ceiling haha it was quite funny and gross at the same time! He crawled into the Crown molding when we tried to catch him.

- Katie & Cody

Hi Bonnie,
We had such a blast! Thank you for helping us. Overall, we really enjoyed the Krystal Cancun. Our rooms were beautiful and the view was amazing! The workers at the resort were all very kind. I loved the variety of food for lunch (a buffet, a fisheria close to the ocean, and a sushi bar).The pools were so close to the ocean, it was unreal. The beach was so soft and pretty! The travel process was very easy, it made me very relaxed. Thanks again so much for all your help! Hopefully I will be in touch soon, to plan another trip for the end of this year.

Thanks, Courtney Nelson

Bonnie -
This was our first time to Jamaica as well as Sandals. The Sandals Ochi Beach Resort was the perfect honeymoon spot for us. The location is absolutely beautiful and the resort has so much to offer such as activities and events. All of the resort staff were incredibly friendly and were always available for any assistance. There were so many restaurants to choose from, all which offered a wide variety of choices. Thank you so much for everything!

Andrew and Emily

Bonnie
Steve and I can’t say enough about our experience and the trip…it is something we will cherish forever. Both tour guides were excellent and so easy to be with. Our travel companions were great also. I have attached a picture of Steve and I that we used for our Christmas card this year.

Thank you again - Sincerely, LuAnn and Steve

Hey Bonnie!
Our trip was great! The hotel was amazing and you could tell a big difference as we walked up and down the strip. When we were walking around the cosmopolitan it was luxurious, modern, and had a safe feeling to it! It also had a very unique smell when you first walked in..a good smell and not a cloud a smoke like the other places we went. The view from our room was beautiful and we were able to watch the fountains and the night life! Thank you once again for all your help with planning and suggestions! We look forward to booking our next trip back to somewhere warm in the near future once Bobby is done with school!

Thanks again and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Bobby and Kayla :)

Thank you Bonnie!
We had an amazing time! St. Lucia is absolutely beautiful. We loved all the options for food and activities. It was very relaxing having everything included!
Georgia & Richie

I am so grateful for all of your help Carol. This was the best time for us as a family. I even went a roller coasters and I never do that. We will be calling you for our next vacation.
The Martinson Family!

Hi Bonnie,

We had a wonderful time in Hawaii! Perfect for our Honeymoon, we couldn't have asked for anything better! :) We did lots of fun stuff, thanks for giving us a list of things to do on Big Island! We were able to do Manta Night Snorkel, Parasailing, Volcano National Park, Rainbow Falls, Hilo Farmer's. That's just to name a few. Mahi Oli Oli, we loved its beautiful and gave us that romantic secluded feel!

We thank you for helping us with the flights and rental car!:)We couldn't have done it without you, we will be coming to you for our future vacations!

We attached a photo of us and of the ocean view from Mahi Oli Oli.
Thanks again,
Nate & Dani

The first week of August, we stepped out of our wonderful world here in East Grand Forks and into another realm - that of the Eastern Caribbean. For years our family has talked about going together on a Caribbean cruise. The dream vacation finally came to pass when we, our sons, their wives, and four grandchildren spent a glorious seven days aboard Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. Island stops were Coco Cay in the Bahamas, St. Thomas and St. Maarten, all beautifully arranged by Bonnie Rygg Haley at Bon Voyage Travel Leaders in Grand Forks. You can find more information on Naomi's blog at: inthespirit.areavoices.com

Bonnie, We loved the private swim up room; the staff was extremely accommodating & friendly. We would highly recommend this destination. Thank you again for planning our honeymoon!!
Camden & Hailey

Hello Bonnie

We had a really good time and we're happy that we chose Sandals and we're happy that we chose this specific one as it will be a memory we'll have for the rest of our lives. Sandals can definitely be a place that we could go back to, whether the same one or maybe try another one as the service was great. Everybody was really nice and always smiling which was probably the best part about the trip. They made us feel welcome and comfortable from the start and throughout the whole week. The water was awesome, really beautiful turquoise greenish blue color, and the sand was extremely white just like you had said. So, once again, thank you so much for everything that you did for us. It was awesome and everything went great so we just wanted to give a big thank you to you for setting that up for us.

Rocco and Abby

Bonnie,

Thanks for the wonderful planning. Tim and I had a fabulous time in Carmel. Thought you'd enjoy a picture of the sunset, taken right from our table at the hotel dining room. Thanks for a perfect trip,

Sandy & Tim

Hi Bonnie,

The flight was a long one, but totally worth the wait we had such an amazing experience in Maui:-) I''m not even sure where to start.we strolled Ka''anapali beach and watched the sunset, drove mopeds up the coast, dined at locals favorites like the Aloha Mixed Plate and some pretty fancy places like Fleetwood''s in downtown Lahaina, we chartered the Hula Girl (exceptional staff and food), we snorkeled the Molokini Crater; we even saw a couple sharks and an octopus! I would say our favorite thing while in Hawaii was swimming in the ocean right at our resort, body surfing the waves, and enjoying the sun! We even jumped off the 25 foot cliff at our hotel!

Next time, we are definitely going to rent a vehicle and probably stay much, much longer:-)

Thank you!
Katie Fietzek & Michael

 

Carol~
Thank you so much for all of your assistance in planning our "Wedding moon!" We had the most amazing time! We have tried to think of something negative, but honestly there is nothing. We had no problems with the flights or shuttle service.

As soon as we arrived to the resort, we were ushered to the Premier Lounge, given top-shelf beverages & an orientation of the resort, while they brought our luggage to our room. The room was stunning! Beautiful & comfortable bed, a large spa tub, double sinks (that is always a plus), loaded fridge with snacks & liquor, and even a scale so we could keep on top of our weight gain/loss. It was also cleaned promptly every day. The service was beyond our expectations. Everywhere we went, the staff was smiling & eager to help us in whatever we needed. When we did ask for something, it was done immediately. We felt like royalty!

The wedding coordinator was wonderful. She was so patient & nice. She walked us through every minute of the ceremony. Even when I was nervous & had a last minute problem, she solved it without hesitation. Also, the weather was awesome! It only rained the day we arrived & the day we left.

The next vacation we take, we know where to go: Carol!!! J Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!
~Robert & Jessica Tiller

 

We had an awesome time! One thing that stood out to us was how helpful and friendly the people were at Sandals! We would like to sign up for the sandals rewards program because we would be interested in another trip for next year after we refill our vacation accounts! Ha-ha We also really enjoyed all the excursions we booked. The Club Mobay was the best thing we could have invested in especially on the way to the resort. The line was 3-4 hours long to get through customs and it took us 20 minutes tops from the plane to having drinks in the lounge by being fast tracked through everything! We would do that again and recommend it in a heartbeat! Thank you for all your help and we'll be in touch for a place next year! We were eyeing up the Turks and Caicos pictures they had all over the place! ;)

Bobby and Kayla

 

The Trip was Amazing! Perfect weather!! The excursion with the pigs and iguanas was worth every dollar and then some. The back 9 of the Emerald Bay golf course! Amazing views! Butler service great!

Blake & Kelsey

 

It was wonderful! Would highly recommend this resort! Especially for families traveling with children! We loved it!

Kelly

We had a blast. The kids, especially Rylan, LOVED IT. Good food, weather, pool. Thanks Paul
 

Hi Bonnie!

Wayne and I had a wonderful time at the Jewel Dunn River Resort & Spa! I think everyone had a wonderful time. We loved the resort and the fact everything was close by. We appreciated the smaller resort, it was beautiful.! The Staff were friendly and very helpful! We missed the food selection of the Rui Palace, but we understand with a smaller resort, they cannot have all the food options of a larger resort. The restaurants and pizza grill on the resort were very good. We never acquired a taste at the buffet for dinner or lunch. The jerk chicken at the snack bar was fabulous! We took some amazing tours. We would certainly go back to this resort!

Thank you for a fabulous vacation, Bonnie!!

Loralyn & Wayne

Hi Bonnie,

We had a great time! Thank you so much for facilitating our family celebration trip! The kids want to go back to the Royal in Playa Del Carmen every year!! The food, service, rooms, staff etc were exceptional! We didn't even do any excursions or check out the shopping behind the resort (on 5th Ave) because the kids didn't want to leave the resort! We didn't have one thing that wasn't exceptional or perfect!! We can't wait to go back! !

Kevin & Lisa Beste

Bonnie!

Sandals in Great Exuma was the perfect spot for our honeymoon. We stayed on the third floor with breathtaking views of the ocean in a butler suite. Having butlers is definitely something we would recommend to others; they are so helpful and when you're on vacation it's nice to actually relax and let others help you out! The golf course was terrific. The back 9 follows the ocean with more outstanding views. The food was great for an all-inclusive; our favorite was Il Cielo, the Italian Restaurant. Max the bartender at the Piano Bar was fantastic. We also enjoyed a couples massage at the spa, it was wonderful and relaxing. The location of this sandals is great. Exuma is a quiet and almost like your own private island. Completely safe to leave the resort as we ventured off the resort with no problems at all. SANTANA's is a little restaurant off the resort down the coast with deep fried and fresh lobster, we highly recommend checking it out. It was great to experience the Bahamian culture. We also did an excursion which included: swimming with pigs (you gotta try it!) snorkeling and feeding iguanas. We also got to hike a mountain, which overlooked the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea; absolutely beautiful. The excursion was probably the highlight of our trip but overall this was a wonderful vacation spot! Thanks Bonnie for the wonderful help you always provide!

Thanks again for everything.

Pat & Lisa

Our destination wedding exceeded out expectations and was a lot easier to plan than a traditional wedding. Bonnie and her staff helped make the booking and planning process easy for us and our guests. Bonnie helped find the perfect resort that fit our needs and our budget. The resort was beautiful and very accommodating, the staff was very friendly, and the beaches were fantastic. I would definitely recommend Bonnie and her staff to anyone planning a trip, destination wedding, or honeymoon.

Thank you!
Danny & Tori

We had an amazing couples trip at Ocean Maya Royale in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. The food and service at the resort was spectacular, the weather was beautiful, and the culture of the area is still very much alive. We would love to go back in the future. Thank you for helping us plan yet another awesome trip!

Ty & Sarah Skarda

It was a wonderful trip. We had amazing weather and truly enjoyed the hotel. The food was very good. Attached is a picture at the resort. Thank you for everything!

Jesse & Carly

Carol,
We had an amazing time. Some of the most friendly people we've ever met! On our wedding day we were treated like royalty. Only complaint would be after the wedding, the wedding party went to eat at Neptune's and the service was awful. Every other table had eaten and left before we even got our food...two hours later. My dad and Scott complained. And the next day our wedding coordinator set up a candle light dinner on the beach that was simply amazing for the wedding party. The catamaran was so much fun! The whole party was able to go and enjoyed themselves.

Thank you again for everything!

Jena & Scott

“Bonnie was FABULOUS to work with! Our honeymoon far exceeded our expectations and we appreciated the suggestions and help that Bonnie and her company provided. If you are unsure of where to go for a Sandals vacation, this is THE place to be! Royal Plantation is a small resort with extremely high quality of service, but next to the largest Sandals Resort, Ochi. We walked back and forth between the two resorts every day (though a shuttle is available) and had tremendous dining experiences between the two resorts! Our butler (required at Sandals Royal Plantation) even hand-delivered a coconut and chips and salsa (our favorite snack, not on their menu) to the croquet site one afternoon for us. We had a romantic, fun, and most memorable vacation and are so looking forward to the next time we plan a vacation with Bonnie and Bon Voyage Travel Leaders!”

Thank you again, it was an incredible honeymoon!

Sarah & Cory

Bonnie and her staff at Bon Voyage Travel were great to work with when we planned our honeymoon. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and wanted to make sure our trip was as perfect as could be. We would recommend them to anyone looking to plan a trip.

Thanks,
Lucas & Kaia

"It's "yachting- not cruising" on the Seadream I yacht, which followed the coast line of the Mediterranean. We can say without hesitation, that it was an experience of a lifetime. From the very start to the end, Bonnie and Mark took care of every detail personally. A smiling face and a glass of champagne greeted us as we boarded the yacht and it only got better. Words cannot describe the "royal" treatment we received, you have to experience it. Cabins were perfect, very whim attended to, food unsurpassed, with smiles the whole time, always, from everyone, crew and passengers!! Did we say smiles again? Yes, always! Every Port O' Call, seemed to surpass the previous one.

We cannot put a value on all the friendships that were established, with our fellow travelers, the passengers and crew, who by the way were from all over the globe.

You will not be disappointed, check out their website for all the details. Truly a trip we will not ever forget. "Life is good! "

Thanks to all.
Dave and Linda Mozinski"

Our trip was absolutely amazing!!! The weather was great, nice and warm, and it was such a relaxing time! I would highly recommend the Hyatt Regency Maui to anyone who is looking for a romantic get away where they can just enjoy the company of their spouse! And also the included breakfast is a must!!! Thank you so much for all that you did to make it a reality!!!

Thanks again!
Tanner & Lindsay

Working with Bonnie at Bon Voyage Travel Leaders made our wedding and honeymoon planning a breeze! We walked in with an open mind as to when and where we wanted to have our destination wedding. She made everything so easy for us and provided us with all of the information we needed to make our decision for the perfect location! Bonnie was also very quick with getting back to us when we had any questions and even went above and beyond and called us just to check in and see if there was anything else we needed as our travel date approached. We will definitely be going back to Bonnie for future trip planning and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great travel agent!

Hi Bonnie,

We just wanted to again thank you for the incredible trip to DisneyWorld/Disney cruise that you helped us plan. We made memories for a lifetime and the kids were tickled with all of the surprises we had in store for them:) We couldn't have been happier with the accomodations you made for us. You truly are fantastic at what you do and we appreciate you!

Bonnie

Thank you SOO much for suggesting and booking such an amazing honeymoon for Ty and I! Sandals exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be going back :) also thank you so much for the nice welcome surprise. We greatly appreciate that! We will be speaking with you again when we book in the future!

Kallie & Brett

My husband and I had our wedding at the Now Jade Resort & Spa in Riviera Cancun, Mexico. The resort was beautiful and the wedding was everything we hoped for. Bon Voyage Travel Leaders was a massive help in working out all the details and finding the perfect place for us. Thank you to Stacy and everyone else at Bon Voyage!

Kallie & Brett

We had the time of our lives! Everything went so smoothly and stress-free! Jamaica was even better than we imagined! The people, the weather, the wedding--absolutely picture perfect! Thank you for helping to make our dream a reality. An enjoyable, safe time was had by all! We are loving married life and will be blessed to have such a beautiful place to look back to our wedding on!

Amy and Noah

"We had an amazing wedding in Whitehouse, Jamaica! Bonnie helped all of our guests plan their stays, flights and all the other details. It was great to have this service as we had guests coming from around the country and trying to coordinate all that information would have been very stressful. Also, Bonnie was great with communicating between the resort and us in order to make sure all the details were the way we wanted. The recommendation of Sandals Whitehouse was spot on for the vibe we wanted for our wedding. Its a location we never would have picked without Bonnie's assistance and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!"

Suzan Huus & Jill Sly

Our families were so pleased with the destination wedding of our children, Robb and Chris, at Beaches Resort by Sandals at Turks & Caicos. Everyone truly made their wedding a special day they will never forget.

Our rooms, service, dining, and activities, and wedding planner Patricia and her staff were truly outstanding. We had An Infant, toddler, kindergartener, teen, young adults, up to a grandma in our group of 11, truly something at Beaches for everyone.

Bonnie Haley owner of Bon Voyage Travel Leaders did an outstanding job in planning this wonderful wedding vacation for our families. Thank you Bonnie!

We all highly recommend not only Bonnie, but Beaches resort by Sandals for a vacation with families.

Christine & Robert Huus

Our time in Turks and Caicos was one of the greatest times in our lives, and will forever be cherished. We stayed at the Caribbean Village in the Presidential Suite at Beaches Resort and Spa. We were very happy with our room choice. Having the ocean just steps away from our room was spectacular. Our wedding was the most amazing day. Everyone was so kind, and took such good care of us including Patricia our wedding coordinator, Fredrica our photographer, Pastor Conrad Howell, our videographer, our bartender at our reception, and our waiters at the reception were all just so wonderful. They really make sure your special day goes as perfect as possible.

The activities we experienced while visiting the island were incredible. From parasailing, glass bottom boat excursion, private candlelight dinner on the beach, couples massage, to riding horses in the ocean were truly memorable moments for us.

The drinks/restaurants at Beaches resort were top notch (Especially Mario's and Kimonos). Beaches does an amazing job keeping their guests happy and relaxed. They make sure your trip is truly an unforgettable experience. We definitely will never forget this vacation and someday will hopefully return.

Thanks again to Bonnie at Bon Voyage Travel Leaders our travel agent, all the staff at Beaches, and most important our families for making this vacation/wedding possible.

Nick & Katie Prudhomme

Nick & I were married at Now Jade in Cancun, Mexico on February 23, 2013 with the help of Stacy at Bon Voyage Travel Leaders. Stacy was a big help with deciding where to go and finding the best deal for our group. She also helped setting up all our guests. We had 23 guests come to the wedding. We all had a great time and the wedding was perfect. Thanks for your help Stacy!!

Matt & Suzie

"Hi Bonnie,
Our wedding was unbelievable. Bora Bora is the most beautiful place...pictures do not do it justice! We could not be happier with our choice to get married there. It was a dream wedding trip!"

Kimberley & Joel

"Our wedding was absolutely perfect! Carol made the entire process extremely easy for us and our guests. There were several perks of going through the travel agent, and we never could have done it on our own. We will never travel outside the country without going through Bon Voyage Travel Leaders! Thanks for EVERYTHING!"

Ryan & Alyssa Cross

"Thank you so much for helping Ryan and I find the perfect resort to get married at! When Ryan and I first started looking for resorts for our destination wedding we had no clue where to start! Luckily we were referred to Bon Voyage Travel Leaders and from there you took care of everything for us! You gave us suggestions to amazing resorts, booked all of our arrangements, and even contacted a wedding coordinator! You were very efficient, professional and friendly through the whole process! You truly made our destination wedding/vacation stress free! All of our over 20 guests that booked through you as well were very impressed with your service. I look forward to working with you and your team in the future for all of our travel needs."
