I see a lot of my clients booking their own trips to Hawaii, Mexico, and other "easy" destinations. I get it. They feel straightforward! But I want to share what you are missing out on when you book those trips yourself.
Here's a real story that shows the difference! A grandma contacted me wanting to take three generations of her family to Hawaii or Mexico over Thanksgiving. Her wishlist: family-friendly, 5-star, small property, activities for kids, swimmable beach—all within budget.
I researched every Hawaiian island plus Mexico and narrowed the options to the top three choices. She picked the Ritz Carlton Maui.
Here's where my expertise and contacts paid off big time:
Parking fees WAIVED: $700 saved
Complimentary breakfast included: $2,800 saved
Resort credits: $1,500 toward food, beverage, or spa
All rooms guaranteed to be placed together even though the resort generally won’t promise this—priceless for family travel!
TOTAL SAVINGS: $5,000
This happened because I have personal contacts at the Ritz Carlton Maui (and all the world's best hotels). Google and AI can't negotiate perks or call in favors - but I can!
Here is a link to the hotels worldwide where I get you perks, and here are just a few examples:
Complimentary breakfast for two people per room ($100 value each day)
$100 food and beverage credit
Room upgrade when available
Early check-in and late check-out when available
Complimentary breakfast for two people per bedroom ($70 value per day)
