Travel Agent Sense: Apple Vacations

10/30/2017

Travel Agent Sense - this will be the first in a series of posts that we will share with our valued readers and clients. One of the things that sets Travel Haus apart from booking on your own and even some other agencies is that we often meet with the tour companies and our agents get trained on the latest updates and news. We have REAL relationships and contacts!

This past week, Jen Palko with Apple Vacations was in our office and here are some of the highlights of her visit with us.

She gave us an update on the various Caribbean islands and where they’re at in recovery from hurricanes. Apple supports several causes that contribute 100% directly to those in need. The Mexico and Punta Cana resorts are still open to guests and some beaches actually got WIDER after the storms. Ie: Beach at Secrets Capri got significantly wider. More beach sounds good to us! :)

In Resort News...

In Maui, Westin properties opened a brand new Westin Annaa Villas (1,2,3 bedroom suites). It is next to current Westin property there in Maui.

Welcome to Dreams Rivera Cancun. This is also a beautiful resort. Very kid friendly. Has a pool for the kids. They are going to be building a small slide for the kids section. This is a very upscale family resort. They have 14 different room categories. Some of them have their own plunge pools (bigger then normal plunge pools ) a lot of families get them for their kids to swim. Staff is wonderful and always there to assist you! I would recommend this for adults and families. There is also a restaurant for adults only. Their infinity pool is gorgeous!

This is excellence Rivera Cancun. This is adults only. This is beautiful! It has 9 pools and 9 restaurants. The main lobby is air conditioned, which you don’t see in many different hotels. Excellence club is very quiet and has certain places for club members only. It was a very peaceful environment and I would deff recommend it for adult getaway for honeymoons or anniversary’s. There are activities daily for all. The pools are fantastic! And rooms I have to say are my favorite! The landscape of this place is well taken care of. - Brittany (from Mexico)
