Clear, honest guidance to help you plan with confidence - from first inquiry to return home.
Planning travel, whether it’s a vacation, group trip, or destination wedding, comes with many moving pieces. These answers cover the most common questions clients ask as they begin the planning process.
Working with a travel advisor means having professional guidance from the planning stage through your return home. I help you choose the right destination and resort, navigate flight and package options, understand what is included, manage booking details, and provide support before and during travel so you can plan with confidence and travel without stress.
Yes. Most all-inclusive vacations are booked as complete packages that include round-trip flights, resort accommodations, and shared airport transfers. Booking everything together allows for smoother coordination, consistent supplier support, and a more seamless travel experience overall.
To keep the planning process focused and efficient, I begin by researching up to three destinations and up to five resort options that best match your travel style, budget, and priorities. This complimentary research allows you to compare strong, well matched options without feeling overwhelmed. Additional research beyond this scope may be available and would involve a planning fee, which is always discussed in advance.
Changes after booking may be possible depending on supplier availability and the tour operator’s terms. Some changes may result in additional fees or penalties. I will always review your options with you in advance so you understand any implications before moving forward.
All inclusive vacation pricing is set by the tour operator at the time of booking and is based on current availability. There are no price adjustments or promotions applied after booking. Once your reservation is confirmed, the price paid is final. I ensure you receive the correct and current pricing available at the time your booking is made.
Ideally, all-inclusive vacations should be planned six to twelve months in advance, especially for peak travel periods, school holidays, and popular resorts. Planning early provides better availability and a smoother experience overall.
Yes. Travel insurance is strongly recommended to help protect your investment in case of unexpected events such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or travel delays. I will help you understand available coverage options so you can choose what best fits your needs.
To begin planning, I will ask for details such as preferred travel dates, budget range, departure city, number of travelers, and any special requests or priorities. This information allows me to create recommendations that are tailored specifically to you.
Yes. All travellers must have a valid passport to travel internationally. Most destinations require that your passport be valid for at least six months beyond your return date. It is your responsibility to check your passport’s expiry date well in advance and renew it if needed, as travel may be denied if passport requirements are not met.
A group booking typically consists of 10 Adult travelers, traveling together under a contracted group rate arranged through a tour operator. Group bookings allow guests to travel as part of the same reservation, with coordinated flights, transfers, and resort accommodations.
Yes. To qualify for group pricing and inclusions, all guests must depart with the group on the contracted travel dates. This allows the tour operator to provide coordinated flights, transfers, and on site services for the group. In some cases, guests may be able to extend their stay or adjust return dates, subject to availability and supplier rules.
Group travel packages typically include round trip flights, resort accommodations, shared airport transfers, and any group specific inclusions offered by the tour operator. The exact inclusions vary by destination, resort, and supplier, and will be outlined before booking.
Group bookings follow a contracted structure, which means options such as room categories or length of stay are limited to what the tour operator offers for the group. Requests for upgrades or extensions may be available, subject to availability and additional cost, and must align with the group contract.
Changes after booking may be possible depending on supplier availability and the tour operator’s terms and conditions. Tour operators may apply their own change or cancellation fees. Service fees related to changes are outlined and agreed to in the booking authorization form prior to booking. I will review any applicable options and fees with the guest before changes are processed.
Group rates are secured through a contract with the tour operator and are subject to specific booking and payment deadlines. These deadlines are firm and apply to all guests within the group. Meeting deadlines is essential to maintain group pricing, availability, and inclusions.
Guests should contact Tropical Dreams Travel directly with any questions related to their group booking. This ensures accurate information, consistent communication, and proper handling of booking details throughout the planning process.
Group travel should ideally be planned well in advance to allow time for securing group space, coordinating guest details, and meeting supplier deadlines. Early planning helps ensure better availability and a smoother experience for everyone involved.

Choosing the right destination wedding resort involves more than selecting a beautiful location. I help you evaluate destinations and resorts based on guest budgets, room availability, travel logistics, wedding package options, and overall experience to ensure the resort works well for both you and your guests.
Destination weddings should ideally be planned twelve to eighteen months in advance, especially for popular resorts and peak travel seasons. While pricing is typically released by tour operators approximately three hundred and twenty days prior to departure, starting early allows time to narrow options and prepare your group so booking can move forward smoothly once pricing becomes available.
Yes. I manage guest travel arrangements, including flights, transfers, room categories, deadlines, and ongoing questions. This allows you to enjoy your engagement and wedding experience without having to manage guest travel logistics yourself.
Yes. To qualify for group pricing and inclusions, guests must depart with the group on the contracted travel dates. In some cases, guests may be able to extend their stay or adjust return dates, subject to availability and supplier rules, while still participating in the wedding events.
Destination wedding group bookings typically include round trip flights, resort accommodations, shared airport transfers, and access to the resort’s wedding package offerings, which are often based on the number of guests attending. Specific inclusions vary by resort and supplier and are reviewed together before booking so expectations are clear.
Wedding group rates are secured through a contract with the tour operator and include firm booking and payment deadlines. These deadlines apply to all guests within the group and are necessary to maintain group pricing, availability, and wedding benefits.
Destination weddings involve group contracts, room blocks, guest coordination, and alignment with resort wedding teams. This layered process requires careful planning and ongoing management, which is why working with a destination wedding specialist helps ensure a smooth and organized experience for both couples and guests.
