Ready to design your perfect vacation with us?

​In order to perform the professional services required to plan and design your perfect vacation, a design fee is required. The Design fee is non-refundable and is used to help cover the extra costs and time planning your trip.

Vacation planning involves extensive time. Our work is based on years of personal experience and professional expertise. We research cruises, hotels and tours to meet your specific needs, contact suppliers, coordinate transportation, and draft itineraries. We also help you navigate the current covid requirements and travel advisories. We use reputable sources for our information, news and advisories.  

​Your final itinerary, documents and travel package will give you as smooth of a vacation as is possible. All vacations arranged through Pack and Play Travel offer peace of mind, as we are experienced professionals with 16+ years in the business of planning exceptional vacations. You can count on us to provide expert insight, save you valuable time & money and deliver a vacation tailor made to your needs.

Everything your design fee includes:

​​SAVE VALUABLE TIME/NO STRESS PLANNING
  • ​We have traveled the world over the course of several years to personally experience cruises, hotels and tours. We ensure the accommodations can meet our clients' specific needs and save you the hours of time and anxiety of researching all of the details on your own.​
  • We contact suppliers and coordinate all transportation.
  • We have connections in the industry so whether you have issues while on resort, or have special requests before you go, we can help coordinate to make sure your trip is perfect.
​NO HIDDEN FEES
  • Those "too good to be true" deals, are just that...absolutely too good to be true.  We've heard countless times where travelers show up to a resort and it is not really "all inclusive," or additional fees are charged upon arrival.  When you book with us there are no hidden fees and all expenses are either paid up front or advised as to what will be due at check in.
PAYMENT PLANS & LOW DEPOSITS 
  • We provide the option to make payments and low deposits versus paying in full at time of booking. 
SAVE MONEY That's right, working with us can actually save you money!  
  • We have the industry knowledge, resources & expertise to get you the most bang for your buck!
  • Resorts, cruise lines and hotels may look amazing online but, they can end up being a huge disappointment in person. 
  • We help eliminate the possibility of wasting money something you may be disappointed in.   
  • We know, and have experienced the "overrated" places and which ones live up to our high expectations.  
  • Did you know: We spend an average of 15 hours through the course of your trip planning on each booking! This does not include time we spend researching before you book, or during travel hiccups. And now due to covid that has increased an additional 5 hours on the average!  This right here is a savings of over $300 of your time we are saving you! 
FOCUSED ATTENTION ON YOUR PRIORITIES
  • This means more than just having someone plan and arrange your trip. You will have access to recommendations and an itinerary crafted just for you. We will help you determine what will make this trip special and offer unique opportunities while keeping your goals and budget in mind. 
  • Flight changes: From the moment you book with us until you travel we are checking on your reservation an average of 6 times to make sure your flights look good, your seats are together (when possible) and even emailing the resort to let them know of your arrival. We take care of all the details before hand so there are no surprises while traveling. We do our best to make sure everything runs smooth. 
  • A few weeks before your trip you will either pick up or we will mail you your "Adventure Awaits Package". This will include valuable information like your final itinerary, tips, airport check in guide, all packaged nicely in a document holder. Some trips even come with a special surprise!! Having these physically in your hand will help the process run smoother and this is something online booking sources do not provide. 
​​OUR CONNECTIONS & LONG TERM INDUSTRY RELATIONSHIPS
  • Resorts, cruise lines, hotels, and even airlines value the travel agents that work with them. The suppliers we use often have a no walk policy, or first to rebook policy when it comes to airfare.
  • You get more added value, more perks and often better room locations than those who book with most online services.
​
A group of friends all booked the same resort with a large online travel service. When they arrived the rooms were over-sold and the some of the travelers ended up having to use their valuable vacation time to make other arrangements. They all ended up staying in different resorts and didn't get to spend their trip together.* 

​*This is a perfect example of how working with an expert can save you time and money.  
SUPPORT A SMALL BUSINESS, FAMILY AND YOUR COMMUNITY
  • Often big companies do not support other small businesses or communities. The same small business that will fight for you more than any online company ever would think of.  We have your back!
DURING TRAVEL SERVICE
  • We are here for you while traveling.  If we can’t personally help we will direct you every step of the way. Again, saving time and money. 
  • We select flights, resorts and transportation that we KNOW has the reputation of great customer service!
OUR PANDEMIC PROMISE
  • During the Covid-19 pandemic travel advisors have proven their value.  From saving clients from losing money to rebooking trips time and again, travel advisors eliminate the stress and burden of major changes.
  • ​We educate ourselves on the updated travel protocols and requirements, etc. You don’t have to do the guess work or miss an important trip because you didn’t know where to find the information.
  • We work with trusted suppliers and make sure your best interests are taken care of.​
COVID CHANGES
  • Because of the changes in the travel industry due to Covid and travel advisors are paid, we have also changed the way we do business.
  • We are looking to build lasting relationships with our clients and become your trusted travel advisor.
  • All of the benefits listed above are included in our consulting fee.​​
TRAVEL DESIGN
  • We have several design options to choose from here.
  • We offer a FREE 30 minute consultation by phone, zoom or weblink to get more information on what you are looking for, and talk about options.
  • Package information will not be provided until you decide to design your vacation with us.
  • Please note: When comparing "apples to apples", 9 times out of ten our price is the same if not cheaper than booking online, and our services are included.
