The trip to Fiji was exceptional. Sue M.. did a great job and our honeymoon was even more than we expected. The Fiji resort was a fabulous place and the staff from the manger all the way down to the grounds keeper were wonderful and fun. We will definitely go back and will highly recommend you and the Fiji resort to our friends and anyone else that asks.

Thanks so much for a wonderful trip. Lori did a wonderful job as always. The Fiji resort has changed a bit since last year and everything was great. Last year we had an issue with the linens but this year all was perfect. The resort and staff went out of their way and we had no issues. The food was even better this year and the service was tops. I will always upgrade to a beach front from now on.
Thanks again

Hi Melissa!
We're having loads of fun coming up on our last night at the first Fiji Resort! We wanted to thank you for the upgrade to the Nanise bure. Wow! It is gorgeous. We're enjoying all of the activities that the resort has to offer. Last night we soaked in the Moonlight Magic at the spa.
We cannot wait to see the next Fiji Resort although it will be sad leaving the first class service we have received here. Thanks again for everything.
Aloha

Aloha Melissa, What a great adventure, Maui is an incredible island, its beauty, friendly people and wonderful weather will remain in my memory for the rest of my life. Julie helped me surprise my wife with "Dinner on the Beach" for our 42 anniversary. I could never say enough about our Chef, her cooking and a special way to say to my wife Thank You and I Love You.
Thank you Julie. Hawaii is calling me back.

Mark,
I thought I had some idea of what Fiji would be like from pictures and video, but when the seaplane flew over those sparkling blue waters and we saw the lagoon and overwater bures I was really speechless. The staff was as warm and welcoming. From day one, everybody knew our names and we were eating, snorkeling, and laughing like we had been there for a week. No transition time, seamless.
The ceremony itself was amazing. The Fijian warriors walked in front of me and my father. Our mothers were waiting next to the lush green arch with tropical flowers and a heart lined on the floor with coconuts. The weather was perfect, sunny with just a little bit of breeze. It was just too much beauty...
The rest of the time, the food was outstanding! So many flavors and colors, we were surprised each and every time we went to eat. Really top-notch. My mother says that the wedding cake (the hummingbird) was the most delicious dessert she had ever tasted.
Our mothers and my dad's transfers were perfect. You thought of everything there.
All in all, the wedding was nearly perfect. The Fiji resort was beyond our dreams, and I fear that no other vacation will be able to live up to it now!
Tim and I are looking forward to visiting Fiji again for our one year anniversary. This time, Tim is interested in taking a cruise to see even more of the islands and beaches perhaps ending with three or four days at the resort. Maybe you can help us with that when the time is right?
Mark, you not only saved our wedding at the last minute, but you put together a wedding and honeymoon that will live on in our hearts forever. We really want to thank you for making everything so seamless and easy. In terms of travel agents, you are our man! I can't wait to start planning our next vacation with you.
All my love,

Bula Mike,
Wonderful trip. I want to thank you so much for your great service to us. We felt it in Fiji when the resort did some special birthday event for us. And, we appreciated all your careful attention to helping plan our trip with the exceptional energy and always timely answers to questions from us. Also, all the resorts we stayed at were wonderful about providing excellent varieties of vegetarian and vegan meals. Each place was different and suited our needs very well. Of course , that was a big concern for us and they communicated to us that they had heard our requests from you.
The travel connections were perfect, and easy and we thank you for
that. The diving was amazing and your advice about which places to go
was great.
Most of all, I felt that you carefully listened to our particular needs and tried to help us figure out for ourselves a three week long trip in a far flung destination. And, of course, when you were out of the office the travel agency was very efficient .
Of course, you will hear from us again when we are able to do another amazing vacation!
Thank you,

Mike,
Thanks for the follow up phone call to find out how our holiday and wedding went.
We all had a wonderful time, the resort was everything I had hoped it would be.
The staff were really very friendly, as all Fijian people are, and we were welcomed into the family.
The food was good, always offering fish, meat and a vegetarian option for lunch and dinner. There was certainly lots of it too!
Then just in case you did feel hungry in between, there were always the cookies in your room, the cake in the afternoon or the never ending supply of cookies in the dining area.
I must admit I was a little worried about the wedding as we had had lots and lots of really heavy rain, but Kay said "have faith as everything always works out for the special day", and it did. We had glorious sunshine and everything was absolutely perfect.
Yosi took our photos and he is a very good photographer, I would recommend him to anyone.
I dived quite a lot and enjoyed every one, Bale the dive master really looked after me. I think he was sad to see me go and so was Kay.
I really did not want to leave and shed more than a tear as we were going. I have been home now for 3 days and apart from seeing my cats I can still say I still do not want to be here. My heart is in Fiji.
I have attached a few photos for you to see of the wedding.
Thanks

Aloha Julie,
Just wanted to write you a note to thank you for helping us plan our perfect honeymoon ! We just returned on Wednesday after spending the best week of our lives at the Maui Resort. It was unbelievably beautiful and incredibly relaxing. The service was fantastic, and we enjoyed dining at three of the fabulous restaurants at the resort. You made it so easy for us, and after all the stress of wedding planning, it was just what the doctor ordered ! And thank you for the beautiful fruit basket delivered to us on our day of arrival, along with the lovely card.
It was such a thoughtful and personal touch. Everything went beautifully, and the only bad experience we had...was having to come home. We will definitely contact you for our next vacation, hopefully for our first anniversary!
Thanks again Julie,
Sincerely

Bloody Mary's was one of our favorites as well. Thanks again for your expert advice and patience in working through the details. It was the perfect culmination to our big event.
I hope we get the chance to work with you again. (I'm also going to recommend you to my parents for when they plan an Australia trip :)

Bula Melissa/Hiapo,
We, once again, enjoyed our trip that was arranged through your awesome agents. This trip, to the Fiji Island Resort, was quite a topper. We've never had a trip like this. This place is surreal. Service there was incredible. I can go on all day. We want to go again when we celebrate my husband's retirement in approx 11 yrs. Meanwhile we'll be looking at other areas to visit. But we just can't say enough about this Fiji Resort. AirPacific services were great once again, the flight time is rough but it was better than last time. We're still trying to adjust back to Pacific Coast time. Please let us know whenever the resort offers a blue light special!!!
We took some beautiful pictures as we celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary. The Resort Staff took care of all the details for our vow renewal ceremony. It was just out of this world.

Hi Lori,
We just got back to Los Angeles this morning and I wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job of booking our weddingmoon vacation on short notice! Everything was perfect and exactly the way you said it would be. My new husband and I are extremely thrilled we selected you and your company for such an important event! From boat transfers to airport greetings, everything was easy and stress-free. I also want to thank you for checking in with me on the day we were leaving to make sure we got all of our documents. You always hear those awful stories of how travel agents get your money and then ignore you but you were so thoughtful and I truly felt that you cared about us having a great trip. Thank you so much for making it an amazing trip! We are going to recommend you to all of our friends!

Great trip. All went smoothly. The hotel was certainly one of the nicer ones in the area. Approx. a 10 minute, $8 cab ride into La Fortuna. So, that wasn’t too bad. We booked all tours through the hotel (whitewater rafting, zip line canopy tours, horseback riding to volcano and falls) and it went great. Nice spa. We could have stayed another 2 days and still had plenty to do. Next time, however, we would love to go back but also mix in some time at the coast.
Thanks!

Our trip was FABULOUS!!! It was everything we expected and more. The resort was amazing. On our flight to Tavenui from Nadi we met the owners on that scary little plane ride and took the van and boat ride with them to the island. We shared many laughs with them at the bar at night and with the rest of the guests. Everything went very smoothly and I can not say enough great things about the Fiji Resort. My friends and family are sick of hearing about it.
Thank you so much for the recommendation and for your help with our travels. I would highly recommend you and the resort to anyone who is thinking about traveling!!!!

Hi Faye,
Sorry I was not able to respond until now. The trip was very very nice! The overwater bungalow in Bora Bora was better than we thought and I guess we got lucky on where the outside deck was facing, which was towards the island and it opened up to the lagoon, so it was a very terrific view. The water was so clear and calm, and we went swimming and snorkeling everyday. It was so relaxing and easy going, just want we wanted! There wasn't much noise either, just the sound of the water which was soothing.
Of course, the prices there were much higher than we could've imagined, but we still managed and enjoyed the food there. Everything went smoothly, there were no moments where we didn't know what to do at the airport or anything as there was always someone there to greet us and take us where we needed to go. It was really a perfect honeymoon for us.
Thank you again for helping us plan it out so last minute! I hope everything is going well for you and that you have a nice summer! If we ever think about going back again in the future, I'll be sure to let you know.
Mahalo,

The trip was absolutely amazing. Fiji's climate, waters, reefs people and especially their children were spectacularly gorgeous. The cruise itself was amazing. It was wonderful being able to be so personable and knowing that you were definitely going to see the same people every day. It made the cruise seem more like an extended family get away and we have tons of email addresses to prove it.
By far and away the best part of the cruise was seeing the faces of the children who seemed honestly thrilled to have us there. Their love for laughing, dancing (and digital cameras) was beautiful. Thank you so much for all your efforts, allowing us to successfully travel to, from and amongst the Fijian archipelago.
Many thanks,

Before I dive into the spectacular time we had at the Fiji Resort, I’d like to mention the person that helped us find this place, Lori at McCoy Travel. We had worked with a few other agencies before finally booking with McCoy and we wouldn’t recommend anyone else! She is a regular at the Fiji Resort and was much like a celebrity there, so we knew we were in good hands. We changed our plans quite a bit, booking a Hawaii vacation on the way to Fiji, and she had no problem accommodating us in every way, keeping us updated all the time. Thank you Lori for putting together the most perfect anniversary! You set us up for having the most beautiful memories for life!
We upgraded to one of the premium villas and it was well worth the money. It has an indoor & outdoor shower along with a separate living area. It has a private pool; I’m guessing 10’x20’ and approx 6’ in the deep end. It is fully covered by the deck’s dawning so it is much cooler than the resort’s pool. The sun gets brutal if you’re lying-out so a quick dip in the pool is very refreshing. I was in there every day. Also, the premium villas have what I thought to be the best hammock at the resort. Each bure/villa has its own hammock but the premium villa has one between two trees right over the beach. During high tide you’d be lying in the hammock only to have the ocean’s waves break right under you. Now that is my definition of paradise!
The entire staff knows your name instantly. While on the subject of staff… you must get one of William’s drinks! He can make a mean drink and his smile is contagious. The Band Boys are astounding! Try some kava with them and listen to their stories. If you do play the guitar they will definitely enjoy jamming with you. One of the people we met had an amazing voice and played guitar. She played a song with the band one night while one of the guys was improv jamming with her, it was wonderful. Everyone made our trip truly memorable, especially their stories.
Although we didn’t get out on any of the excursions (read above about William’s drinks and you can figure out why), we did greatly enjoy the Meke ceremony. The stories told by the village’s kids with song and dance were wonderful and everyone seemed to be having a great time. They also had a kava ceremony with local villagers which was very exciting.
My favorite part was cocktail hour before dinner. This is where you get to meet everyone else staying at the resort. One night at dinner we were pleasantly surprised when a cake lit with candles was brought out as the band played. We had been wondering whose birthday it was only to have the cake brought directly to us, realizing then that the band was singing Happy Anniversary! My husband had mentioned our anniversary to one of the guests, only to have a staff member overhear and prepare this the same night. A complete surprise!
It was truly an amazing trip. I could go on forever here but you really have to experience everything for yourself. Again, we would like to thank the owners for putting together such a wonderful resort and friendly staff as well as McCoy Travel for directing us to this slice of paradise. Vinaka Vakalevu!!!
Thanks again for everything!

Hi Lori!
I have been meaning to write you since we returned from our trip. Our trip was nothing short of perfect. The Fiji resort was everything we were hoping for and more. The resort itself was beautiful and we loved the honeymoon villa since it was set back a bit from the other bures and it did not have as much foot traffic in front. We relaxed more than we participated in the activities but we loved the fact we could do as much or as little as we wanted to while we were there and we did go on the village visit, waterfall hike and a couple of snorkeling excursions - all of which we loved. Perhaps the best thing about the whole experience was the STAFF! Everyone was so friendly and helpful and they were amazing! We have nothing bad to say about anything and we are so glad we chose this Fiji resort for our honeymoon. Thank you for recommending it over the others we were looking at. Also, thank you for helping us plan and book the trip - the process was so easy and great and I will definitely contact you for our future trips to see if you can be of any assistance. We already said we will go back in 5 or 10 years but we'll be planning our first anniversary trip before you know it! THANKS AGAIN!!!

We just returned home from our fabulous vacation in Maui! The two of us had the time of our lives and loved exploring the island and all its beauty. Mike's birthday surprise was an absolute hit. He was extremely surprised with the dinner. Both of us enjoyed the evening tremendously. Chef Traci was a joy and her food was outstanding! The atmosphere and the romantic setting of the beach made this one of the most memorable moments of our entire vacation. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a unique evening to spend with their special someone! The dinner exceeded all of my expectations! Chef Traci was very accommodating, professional and a load of fun! I would book a private dinner again in a heart beat! Thank you so much for organizing such a unforgettable evening for us!

Hey Mark, thanks so much for everything you have done for our honeymoon. We know it was not your fault with what happened with the flights being cancelled, but you came through with flying colors re-routing us and the honeymoon was amazing. I can honestly say it was worth every hour on the plane, and worth every penny. We absolutely loved it and the accommodations were amazing, probably the most beautiful hotels we have ever been in. We couldn't have been happier.

Hello Michael,
Just a quick note to say that our honeymoon to Fiji went extremely well. We were impressed by the very good organization of Rosie Travel service. All transportation was perfect. We loved our bure at the Fiji Resort but were a bit disappointed with the lack of a view at the 2nd Fiji Resort, even though the resort itself is fantastic. We tried to change to an oceanview bure but they were all booked. You might know that the cyclone that hit there last December caused them to lose half of their beach, so the photos are a little deceptive. Everything else went great. Thank you.

Bula Lori!!
Just wanted to say thank you again for planning the perfect trip for us. Reality has really sunk in today since we are both back to work!!
Hawaii was perfect in every way! The weather was amazing, the concert was indescribable, the hotel was perfect (we loved the morning entertainment), and the food and drinks were wonderful. So wonderful that we had my entire family and all our friends watching us via webcam from Lu Lu's after many a Mai-Tai, actually bringing tears to my grandmom's eyes whom I havent seen since our wedding. She had us kissing for the camera while everyone at the bar thought we were nuts, waving at the back wall and all.
And then there was Fiji. I dont think I have any words to describe how we felt at the Fiji resort but if I had to pick one, complete and utter comfort would be best. From the moment we were picked up in Taveuni to the moment we were dropped back off, we felt as if we spent years at the Fiji resort before. Teri's favorite story about the staff is when we first arrived, everyone knew her as Theresa. I think she mentioned to Ana that she goes by Teri and literally 5 or 10 minutes later everyone knew her as Teri! Amazing. I am not sure whose doing it was, but every night they brought us a cheese plate along with two complimentary drinks to our villa just before dinner. They even started bringing us Mai-Tai's since that was what we were always drinking. And speaking of Mai-Tai's, we fell in love with William. Not only was he the nicest person I have ever met, he makes a mean drink! So much so that I regret to say we didnt get on many of the hikes/tours. We enjoyed laying out by our villa drinking William-Mai-Tai's all day! We did plenty of snorkeling though....incredible! Richard was wonderful! I could include so much more here but we are currently preparing our long & praising review, so no need to double work. I just want to thank you for suggesting the Fiji resort as we met so many couples we will be in touch with for years to come and had the time of our lives!
I have included one of our many pictures, but unfortunately our camera broke mid-week in Fiji, so we are waiting for the couples we met to send us over some pictures.
Vinaka vakalevu!!!!

Aloha Melissa,
We had a fine time in Belize. We enjoyed both places we stayed. Both were comfortable and lovely places to stay. Probably 2 of the best in Belize.
Our flights went smoothly and we were pleased that the plane on our way home from Houston to San Francisco had the comfortable seats in First class that recline and have lifts for the legs.
We had just enough time in both parts of Belize; 5 days of inland experience in the jungle and 7 days of ocean & beach on Ambergris Caye. The a la carte at both places worked for us (no meal plan and no excursions up front). Although when we were staying at Chaa we did some excursions on our own that we enjoyed. (cave tubing & Mayan ruins). The land at Chaa, 340 acres was beautiful. We hiked and biked and enjoyed the canoeing and butterfly farm. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to find out our trip did include a visit to the Belize zoo on our way from Chaa Creek to Belize City, before our flight to Ambergris Caye. It's a wonderful zoo and we made friends w/ a baby leopard. ( We love cats)! Ambergris Caye was lovely and the stretch of white sandy beach was gorgeaus. The little town of San Pedro on Ambergris was cute and more bustling than we expected. We had a lot of fun riding in the golf cart to get around. We also used the bicycles and enjoyed getting some exercise. There are lots of good restaraunts in San Pedro too.
Two weeks away was perfect. Thank you to Julie for planning another fun vacation for us. We celebrate 20 years of Marriage in August. Feb. 1988 we went to Tahiti & love it (how can you not!). I think it's time we return. We'll let you know when.

Melissa,
My husband, kids, and I had a wonderful time in Hawaii. I have your cards saved for people. My husband and two sons went snorkeling in the ocean and they said this was their favorite. Julie set us up with some great activities. My daughter and I loved the whale watching, we must have seen at least 20 whales and they were very active. We loved going to Front Street at night, we ate at Bubba Gumps 3 times. We also loved the beach off Kaanapali Parkway and the kids and my husband jumped off the black rocks. We loved all of the rainbows, the ocean, the beaches, and restaurants.
You all did a great job with our trip and we are definitely going back.

Bula Melissa,
What a treat it was for my husband & me to visit Fiji. I had a preconceived notion of what to expect of our trip. I was wrong! You wanted to know our favorite experience - well, it was the people of Fiji - what a joy to spend time with them. My husband & I always felt like we were part of their extended family. Here's a testimony for you - after we have visited a place (and my husband & I are well traveled) we kind of feel "been there, done that; where are we going next"? Well, we would love to visit Fiji again. It was a delight because of the people.
Highlights:
Fiji Resort #1 for its snorkeling & having the very private bures - very conducive to "couple time."
Fiji Resort #2 was our favorite because the staff made it so. I loved running around barefoot & thought the snorkeling here was also very good. The Round the Island Tour was a highlight for us. Percy was a personal favorite staff person there. The land transfers & connections went smoothly. We appreciated hearing that Lori called each resort we were visiting to check on us & make sure all was well.
Fiji Resort #3 had especially delicious fresh fruit & seafood. We also needed a nurse to obtain some antibiotics because one of us became ill. We were happy there was a resident nurse at a nearby Fiji Resort, easily accessible from our resort.
On another note - I read that you have (coming soon) a resident African Specialist. That is my personal dream trip - something to accomplish before I get too old, or my husband runs out of money! Please keep us informed on all the particulars of Africa, Melissa. I want to be sitting in my rocking chair, telling my daughter about the trip her dad & I took to Africa & that she should start saving her money now because it is a trip not to be missed. Would love to meet you some day, Melissa. If you are ever in Denver, you better look us up! Vinaka!

Melissa,
Asking us what our single favorite part of the Fiji Resort was is difficult to answer; there were so many things. First of all, we greatly appreciated the help of Robin during the process. She asked many questions to glean from us what our expectations/desires were. I felt that she was being entirely honest and forthright, and for that we're grateful. Kudos to you and your staff.
As for the Fiji resort, it is one of the rare few places that I can say was exactly like the pictures. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We loved getting to know the staff; we have several pictures with them. With the size of the resort we were able to learn their names and they learned ours. The bures (we had a deluxe beachfront) were wonderful; being from Wyoming in the United States, we especially enjoyed the opportunity to shower outside! We even purchased the oil they burned in the bure so we could take a bit of it home with us. From the accomodations to the outstanding service to the food, my wife and I have only positive things to report. Again, credit goes to Robin and the staff there at McCoy Custom Travel. We even had Ron give us his cell phone number to use while there just in case anything was not to our liking. We could have never picked such a nice place without your help. Visiting the other islands in the area only made us happier that we chose this Fiji Resort; it is second to none.
We also enjoyed the service at the airport with Rosie's. All the transfers were enjoyable and nice to experience. I especially loved the opportunity to use the lounge at the Nadi airport; very relaxing and a nice change to my typical airport experience.
There is nothing but positive to say about McCoy Custom Travel, Rosie's and the Fiji Resort. But if you ask me to pick ONE thing that we like the best, I believe it would have to be the resort staff. They were so solicitous of our every need; we felt like they really did care how our day went. One day, my wife didn't feel so well. At dinner, they accommodated her request for a fruit platter without question or complaint. And for the next 2 days, almost every body we met asked her how she was doing. That was very impressive to both of us. We really felt a part of the resort even though we only stayed 1 week.
We would most definitely use McCoy Custom Travel again, Melissa. It was a truly magical honeymoon experience. We're proud and happy to say we chose Fiji.
Sincerely,
D. & K. Bott

Melissa,
Thanks for the e-mail. Beth and I had a fabulous time on Maui for our honeymoon. Our first trip to Maui, we prefer the Kaanapali area and condo setting for any return trip(s). For the honeymoon, Julie could not have planned a better itinerary for us and provided great information and service all around!!
We spent our first 5 days in Kaanapali and loved it. My brother and his wife spent their honeymoon there a few years ago, so we had to try it. The condo was beautiful and really provided the best setting for the first part of our honeymoon following all the busyness of the wedding, etc. While there, Julie planned an evening at the Lahaina Luau, a whale watching tour, and a Molokini snorkel tour. All were great experiences, although we won't be scheduling a whale watch on any return trip during that time of year. It was really unnecessary as we saw whales all over during the other activities. But no fault to Julie in that regard as the whale watch was a must for my wife as seeing whales was her #1 wish for our trip's activities!! :)
Friday (3/21) was our transition day. We took full advantage of the 11:00 check out time at the Ali'i and then packed our Jeep for the road trip to Wailea. We decided to venture up Haleakala Crater at that time which became a great transition activity.
When we arrived at the Wailea Resort, we were instantly amazed at the change in scenery and taken aback at the service provided and what we had to look forward to over the next five days. Although smaller than the Kaanapali Condo and a completely different look and feel, the suite was amazing and we really appreciated the gift basket sent by Julie!! While in Wailea we REALLY relaxed and shopped for the most part while around the hotel. Julie did plan one activity for us there ... a sunset cruise one evening. It was a great experience, of course. The whales were really active during that time of day and we saw a mom an baby whale breaching side-by-side for a while ... amazing!!
On our last full day on the island, we took full advantage of the 12:00 check out time and even had a little time to relax at the pool. After checking out and loading the Jeep, we headed for our last activity at the Wailea Spa ... the cocoon water tour for couples which was amazing (and amazingly expensive ;) and a great way to end our trip before heading to the airport. Julie did the research on this activity and Beth and I were of course pleased with it! :)
Anyway, I probably shared more information than desired here but we had an amazing honeymoon and have Julie to thank for planning it. C. & C. Brown (of Houston) referred us to McCoy Travel. They went to Tahiti/Bora Bora for their honeymoon. We considered that destination but were really pleased with Maui as our choice and having a couple extra days there. To reiterate, Julie was amazing throughout the planning process and we couldn't be happier with our overall experience with McCoy Travel and will certainly recommend both to our friends and family.
Sincerest Mahalo,

Hi Faye -
We had a wonderful trip to Australia. You did a great job of organizing the trip, and everything worked on schedule. And what a schedule - we did the whole country in three weeks!
We particularly enjoyed the Ayers Rock/Kings Canyon/Alice Springs area. It has awesome beauty that spans far beyond any photograph. Close seconds were Kakadu and Kangaroo Island. The people in Australia are happy friendly folks, and we really enjoyed interacting with them.
We celebrated Betty's 60th birthday in Darwin. So this trip was extra special.
Thanks for all your help and patience working with us on planning the trip.

Hi Lori,
That was a fantastic trip. We will write up some comments on both places and send them to you. We both agreed that the Fiji Resort & Spa was the best.
Thanks for taking such good care of us!
We really appreciate it.
Thanks again,
