Playa del Carmen Travel Agent Specialist

Cancun

MEXICO: Sun, ocean beaches, margaritas, wonderful cuisine, and history. What more could one desire? As a travel agent professional,I have explored both coastlines of Mexico and adore all of it! The all-inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya are always popular as visitors can enjoy the beach as well as travel to Tulum to see ancient Mayan ruins. Also, Tulum has become a gastronomic destination. Award winning chefs have partnered with 5-star resorts, all which makes both Playa Del Carmen and Cancun both a foodie’s dream. I can make travel arrangements for you at any top resort in Mexico - from Mazatlán to Cabo San Lucas to Playa Del Carmen. Just give me a call so we can plan your perfect holiday. As a travel agent representative for Playa del Carmen, I will book a memorable trip for you. This resort destination sits in Mexico’s Mayan Riviera, and is part of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is located in the state of Quintana Roo and is well revered for its coral reefs and palm-lined shores. The Quinta Avenida pedestrian walkway in Playa del Carmen features blocks of restaurants and shops that run along the beach, regularly welcoming tourists and locals to enjoy its sunny shore. The Mayan Riviera runs from an area south of Cancun to Tulum and the entry point of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere. This strip includes the Playa del Carmen as well as the Riviera Cancun, Puerto Aventuras, Akumal, Tulum, and Puerto Morelos. The site is in the easternmost part of Mexico. When it was first established, Playa del Carmen was known as Fisherman’s Village. A small and out-of-the-way coastal hamlet. Today, the white sand beaches and blue clear waters are home to around 150,000 people, including expatriates who have migrated there from more than 40 countries. To help you with your flight plans, I will book a flight from your airport to the airport in Cancun. The town is about a 45 minute drive from the airport. I can arrange an all-inclusive vacation for you and add your return airport transportation in your travel plans. I will help you with all the transportation details, including the plane reservations and your transportation to and from the airport. Just think! You can be experiencing a Mexican holiday in about five hours if you’re traveling from LA. While the Cancun Airport is a little over 2,100 miles from Los Angeles, you can still land in the popular Mexican hub in as little as four hours and 45 minutes. Because I am extremely familiar with everything Mexico, I can arrange the perfect trip for you. Consider me as your go-to travel advisor for Playa del Carmen or for any trip you wish to take to Cancun, Cabo San Lucas or Mazatlán. Contact me today for all the details.

Adventure of a lifetime

Barb planned our trip through the United Kingdom. We started in London and spent a month traveling through Wales, Scotland and Ireland. She created the most amazing itinerary with stays in castles and routed us to so many wonderful spots. Her attention to detail and adding all the extras made our trip truly wonderful. I never had to worry about anything. She was checking on us through our whole trip and whenever we checked in to our location, many of them commented, "Oh yes" we just talked to your travel agent. It was very comforting knowing all was under control and all special requests were filled.

Ireland Dream Trip!

Barb created a wonderful adventure to Ireland. We were nervous about driving so she set us up with rail tours throughout Ireland. It was such a pleasant experience to enjoy the countryside without the stress of driving. We had knowledgeable local tour guides at each city and still had plenty of free time to enjoy the local pubs and music. Barb made sure every detail was taken care of and it was a comfort to know that even being many time zones apart she was always available. It was a great vacation and I will be using her services in the future for all of our travel.

Excellent family vacation to Catalonia

Barb was always willing and ready to respond to our questions and concerns, both during the planning of our trip and while we were on it! She helped us navigate a european vacation with our three small children amid changing COVID restrictions, helping us with trip insurance and ultimately changing our whole flight/car package from Scotland to Spain only three weeks before the trip. We were quite happy with the homes she recommended and booked for us and our flight arrangements.
