Mike -

We had a wonderful trip to Fiji and Australia. Thank you for all of your hard work, and for making it possible. We really liked Plantation Island Resort...

We'll be in touch the next time we head to Hawaii!

Thanks for all of you're help and we had a great time.
On to our next vacation....do you guys book cruises in the Caribbean out of New Orleans?

Thanks Again,

Tarah M. (Jefferson, Louisiana)

Attached please find a few wedding pictures from Nov. 7, 2003. We had an absolutely wonderful time at Taveuni Island Resort. It was everything you said it would be and more.

The staff and Lorna went above and beyond for our wedding - it was beautiful. I mentioned that I liked a certain flower in one of their arrangements - it smelled so sweet. I was thrilled when I was surrounded by the flowers at our ceremony and the following party/meke. I could not have found a flower as perfect in the States.

Rick and I could not be happier with our weddingmoon. We highly recommend
Taveuni Island Resort when you want to relax and really get away (we do recommend taking along your CD's - they will play them in the Main House
anytime you like). The Villa was incredible, the staff and management
(which I prefer to just call my friends) could not have been more
accomodating and pleasant, and the pool - the view - the food - well, all
were out of this world and beyond all our expectations.

We visited several of the other resorts on Taveuni during our stay and Taveuni Island Resort is by far the nicest. We plan to return for our fifth wedding anniversary....maybe visit New Zealand at the same time.

Thank you for all your help and for your recommendation. Hope to work with
you again soon!

McCoy Travel...

The service provided by yourself was commendable. Everything went smoothly and was excellent in that respect. I was very impressed that everything had been looked after so well and also went so well. Your services are to be recommended. Thank you.

Kind regards.

We just returned home from a vacation to Tahiti that we booked through McCoy Travel. I wanted to take a minute to tell you what a wonderful, perfect time we had. It was our first trip beyond Pennsylvania. My husband and I have traveled quite a bit, but never this far from home.

I must confess, I stummbled upon your company simply by "surfing the net." It was the first vacation I booked using an internet connection. I was more than a little nervous. Your agency was absolutely fabulous and patiently answered my numerous questions ... your kind and friendly manner was the reason I ended up using McCoy Travel.

Everything about the trip was impressive from the Moorea Beachcomber to the transfers and I just wanted to say thank you!

Sincerely,
William & Susan H. (West Chester, Pennsylvania)

Sue -

The trip was absolutely fabulous. Everything was smooth sailing. Tahiti Beachcomber was very accommodating for a short layover in Tahiti. It is very close to the airport. We then flew into Bora Bora and went to Sofitel Motu. This place is very remote and small. Perfect for a complete getaway and if you are looking for isolation. If you are looking for more action and events I would not recommend the Motu. However, its sister resort is accessible by boat, which has shows, restaurants and other activities. There were probably only 5 other couples on the island. We loved it though; it was exactly what we wanted. The snorkeling around the Motu is by far beyond anything imaginable. You just dive off your over water bungalow and swim to the coral. This is the only resort that has direct access to the best coral in Bora Bora. I would highly recommend this resort. The rooms were amazing, new and very decorative.

Le Meridien Bora Bora then picked us up on a private boat to transfer us to their resort about midweek. This resort was bigger, loosing the quaint and isolated feel. But for a change in pace it was nice. The rooms are not as nice as the Motu but still exceeded our expectations. We had a beach bungalow, which I thought was nice due to the A/C. This did not have the snorkeling but it was enjoyable because you could explore the ocean side as well as the lagoon. If we could do it over, I think we would of stayed at the Motu for the entire week. We just loved the Motu. What I liked about the two resorts was they are both private islands, only accessible by boat from the mainland.

The whole trip was great. Everything was seamless and the resorts were accommodating in every way. The locals are great, it is nothing like the Caribbean where everybody is hassling you for money or trying to sell you something. Our favorite restaurant was Bloody Mary's. The only excursion we did was the 4x4 safari. I highly recommend this to your clients. It was very cheap and highly worth it. I would also recommend Air Tahiti. The plane was brand new; I've never been on a nicer plane and the staff was great.

Thank you for making this an amazing trip. Everything was perfect from the accommodations to the location and all the travel arrangements. Thanks for everything; hopefully we can do it again. If you need a reference, please don't hesitate to call on me. You did an AWESOME job.

Regards,

McCoy Travel:

Just a quick note to tell you how absolutely wonderful our trip to Tahiti was. It was just about perfect. The Beachcomber Moorea was fabulous and we were treated like VIPs. I can't believe how beautiful Tahiti is. We were also very impressed with how smoothly all the transfers were. They were waiting for us! Air Tahiti was almost like flying first class. Did you know the attendants actually start out in suits, change to island dress, then change back for the landing?

I can't thank you enough for guiding us and helping us plan this vacation. Your travel company is first class and your are the best agent! I'll send you pictures as soon as we get them in!

Susan H. (West Chester, Pennsylvania)

McCoy Travel ,

Thank you for working with us on our Moorea and Bora Bora trip. Everything went smoothly and the trip was wonderful. Our appreciation to you and your team for your price matching, booking on such short notice and the wonderful surprises of champagne upon our arrival and overall departure. Unfortunately, since my wife is pregnant, she couldn't indulge, but she was grateful nevertheless! (well, unfortunate for her, that is!) It's touches like that that make a good trip great.

Thanks again and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Best Regards,A
Randy & Julie R. (Milpitas, California)

McCoy Travel - thanks for everything. The honeymoon went great. Bora Bora was absolutely breathtaking. The Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort was the best. Everyone was friendly and very responsive. Moorea was a step down but still beautiful. Moorea Beachcomber was nice but could not compare to the Pearl Beach in Bora Bora. Beachcomber in Tahiti was beautiful, we toured the city and managed to get a great deal on pearls.

You did a great job but you did not warn me about the food prices, especially Bora Bora. For example, cheeseburger and fries $28 or a regular breakfast $65 for two. Again, I would like to thank you for making my honeymoon the best!

Sincerely,

Kendrick L. (Douglasville, Georgia)

Words cannot express our awe at the beauty of your islands and the kindness of your people! Although we have been back in Israel for quite some days, we have not yet "landed" from the dreamland of Hawaii. We enjoyed 3 weeks of never-ending beaches, wild lanscapes, gourmet meals, and friendly smiles on O'ahu, Kauai, Maui, the Big Island of Hawaii, and Lanai. From reading books on white sandy beaches to our helicopter ride, sunrise breakfast and luau ...our vacation was like a second honeymoon. Although all of the hotels were wonderful in style and location, the Princeville Resort in Kauai was definitely outstanding. We only wish that we had had a bit more time to stay in Maui instead of going to Lanai (although the hotel was amazing there and so were the locals). We would have liked taking a day cruise from Maui to Moloka'i, but now we have reason to return. We also were very upset that the weather prevented us from taking the helicopter ride over the Big Island. We had been very anxious to experience the landscape of this volcanic island from above but for two days straight the flight was cancelled - at least we sampled this experience in Kauai and it was well worth every penny.

We were so impressed with the fantastic coordination of Mc Coy Travel throughout the itinerary and can definitely recommend your company to our friends for their future travels.

Mahalo and thanks again for everything!

Sue - Hello! Honestly, everything turned out wonderful. When we arrived at the Hyatt Maui , they not only had all of our reservations right, they upgraded us to a suite Thurs. and Friday so we wouldn't have to change rooms on Saturday. It was awesome!!! We were so happy we did a dorky happy dance when we saw the suite. I also sent Melissa, Dory (room coord.) and Leilani (front desk) a small token of our appreciation. The Suite was so beautiful! The wedding turned out great, and the pictures came out even better than we had hoped! The food was great at the Kaanapali Hotel. Everyone raved about it's quality and taste. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for anything to go any better!!! It was extraordinary...now I know why you live there. We didn't want to come home. We were in love, and Dave even fit in as one of the locals. I appreciate all of your patience in not only handling all of my questions and indecisiveness, but that of all my guests who used you as well. We are very grateful for your efforts and patience. Thank you.

At Maui, the kids loved Big Beach, especially the big waves that gushed in like Hawaii 5-0. There were lots of kids boogie boarding and riding the waves onto the beach. Our unit at Maui Hill had 2 boogie boards in the closet so our kids brought those. We didn't know it would have a full stereo and even a DVD and VHS player and 4 yes 4 TVs! Also went to Haleakala, and Road to Hana to see 7 pools (although our son got carsick). Those darn winding roads!

I just wanted to say thank you for arranging our trip from all of us, Szus and Louies. We all had a blast.

Aloha and Mahalo!
Angela S. (San Francisco, California)

We had a great trip in Hawaii! We really liked the Marriot in Kauai and did the Ocean Kayak, took a surf lesson, pedaled down from Waimea Canyon, read a lot at the beach and just really had a great time. Also the food was great at Dukes, the Beach House and we even found a great Sushi place at Kintaros! My only regret was not playing golf at their golf course, but I did not want to test my back. The Big Island was also great and really a fascinating geological treasure! We hiked almost to the top of Mauna Loa, visited the Volcano National Park, I played golf on their beach course. We also enjoyed the amenities at the Hilton Waikoloa Resort – the dolphins were great, the Luau was okay, and the put-put, hammocks…made things very comfortable.

We found Hawaii a great place to visit with great people and service.
Thanks for setting this up,

Joe S. (Madrid, Spain)

We had the most wonderful time in Maui last week. Everything went smoothly, and the accommodations were fabulous. My 21 month old had the best time drinking ocean water and even peeing through her swim diaper in the grand foyer of the Ritz Carlton Maui. I have a feeling that we will be returning to Hawaii in the not too distant future and will contact you when we need to make arrangements.

Thanks again!

Aloha!
I just want to take the time to say my sincerest thank you to your company for helping my husband and I make our "weddingmoon" the most excellent experience of our lives. Gay Partin was extremely helpful and had much patience in dealing with every little detail. She even met us at the airport. She is so sweet!
She really worked hard for us and our family and she deserves some recognition! She gave us wonderful suggestions, like the Hotel Hana Maui! That, I must say, was the PERFECT ending to our PERFECT trip!! That was so relaxing and we enjoyed it so much. The cottage was adorable! The people were great! Everything about Maui was absolutely something NEVER to forget.

We look forward to coming back. Thank you again!

Mahalo!

Aloha Sue!

Our honeymoon was absolutely awesome. We really enjoyed both islands but Kauai was our favorite. The Secret Beach Cottage (Hale Lani) is a beautiful place and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The cottage had every amenity and was well maintained. I was impressed with the décor and the comforts of home. Chris and I bought some groceries so it was convenient for us to make a small breakfast and lunch and then cook dinner. The property is extremely private, well maintained and just beautiful. Hale Lani is perfect for honeymoon couples looking to relax and share some romantic times together. The walk to the beach is about 15 minutes down a path and we really enjoyed it because at any given time, there were no more than 10 people on Secret Beach so it was very private. On Kauai we hiked the Kaualua trail which provided for a good hike and we also took a zodiac boat to the Napali coast. The boat ride was fun but it was very rough and I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who doesn’t like getting tossed around for 6 hours.

We also enjoyed the Westin in Maui. Our room was a partial ocean view room which we were fine with. The hotel was beautiful and I’m glad that we stayed there first. Since we were honeymooners, we wanted to relax and sleep out by the pool. The hotel was quite crowded because it was the 4th of July holiday so we did contend with many families but we completely understood that it was a busy time of the season. In Maui, we did a lot more which included the Old Lahaina Luau, sunset catamaran cruise, Mount Haleakala at Sunrise, and the Road to Hana. We did explore the many beauties of Maui and it was good that we did more there because we certainly relaxed in Kauai.

In hindsight, we would have done two things differently.

We decided to travel from the East Coast to Hawaii in one day. By doing this, we left Philadelphia on a Sunday morning and finally arrived at the Westin at 9 PM Maui time which was 3 AM according to our clocks. We wasted all of Sunday. We regret not flying to Los Angeles on a Saturday night and staying over in a hotel. We could have gotten up on Sunday morning and flew to Maui and still had most of the day to settle in. We also regret not visiting Oahu while we stayed in Maui. We visited Oahu on Friday. We flew from Kauai to Oahu in the AM, toured the island and then took a red eye at 10 PM back to LA, then we had a layover and flew to Philadelphia. We basically traveled for 2 days and hardly slept. Therefore, I would not recommend making Oahu a separate trip. It could easily be a day trip while you’re staying on another island.

Sue, we do have to ask you something. Since we’ve gotten home, we had bad luck and a few strange things happen to us. We’ve learned that bringing back lava rocks is bad luck. Well……..we brought some home. What can we do to give these darn rocks back to Hawaii. It’s impossible for us to travel back there so what are our options? So far, our mirror fell off the wall and shattered, Chris had a flat tire, I had tar all over my tire, and our good friend had his windshield cracked (after we visited them). We would be happy to take any suggestions.

Have a great day.

Melissa McCoy,

First let me thank Mike for all his hard work and attention to detail in making our arrangements just perfect in Maui. This was a special occasion celebrating my oldest sons graduation from College at UCI. We also owed his younger brother a trip from 2 years ago when he graduated from High School. All their plans for the follow-up trip to Fiji worked out really great too. They wished they could have surfed more ... that was there only complaint. They loved the people, the resort and especially the beauty and the wonderful color of the water.

Please pass along our very special thanks to Mike and let him know our youngest son will graduate in 2 more years ... we just may need to do this again. .... and again and again and again.

Here is a picture to hang on the happy customer wall. We had a professional, Hopsing Coon come to the Hotel to shoot these for us and he was great. It is a wonderful idea to get a family picture while in Maui and may I suggest Hopsing Coon.

Best regards,

Bruce M. (Newport Beach, California)

I just wanted to thank you for the truly outstanding job you did planning our Hawaii vacation. The hotels were gorgeous, the rooms were just as promised, rates were very competitive, the cars were there on time,
waiting for us at the airport. We also received a complimentary room upgrade to one bedroom ocean view at Four Seasons Maui, which was a huge bonus. At every hotel we got something special for our anniversary - a bottle of champagne, a passion fruit cake, complimentary drinks, etc. I will
definitely use you again in the future.

This vacation was one of the best ones we've had just yet. Thank you for making it happen.

Malvina & Henry V. (West Harrison, New York)

Dear Melissa & Trish,

Hi Trish,

Dear Melissa,

Hi Sue,

We had an absolutely wonderful time!! We just fell in love with Hawaii--it's so beautiful and so lush! The Fairmont Kea Lani was great. We loved our room-it was huge, just like you said. And there were lots of things to do there. We really liked their beach, plus their multi-level pools with the waterslide. We went snorkeling and really enjoyed that too, especially seeing the sea turtles. And we went to the Old Lahaina Luau, which we thought was excellent. All in all, we had a wonderful honeymoon and can't wait to go back.

Thank you for all your help putting it together! We're already talking about our next trip there, so we'll definitely call you when we can take the time off to go again. Please let me know of any specials, etc that come up, and I hope that we'll be talking again soon.

Thank you! It really was a great trip, and we appreciate your putting it together for us.

Sincerely,
Lauren Noll (Clayton, North Carolina)

Sue...

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I can't tell you how much fun we had. I sincerely appreciate you for convincing me to stay with the Fairmont Kea Lani rather than the Four Seasons. Aaron and I walked over there one day and were trying to find where the "nicer" pool was...when there wasn't any other pool!!!! The Kea Lani is one of the best hotels we've EVER stayed in. The service is outstanding and our room was absolutely out of this world (we had an outstanding view of the ocean!). In addition, we absolutely loved the Hyatt Regency Maui - totally exceeding our expectations! HUGE fans of the pool and SLIDE! After doing the Road to Hana, we realized that we could have just stayed at the Hyatt pool to enjoy the same type of waterfalls we experienced along the way without hurting our feet on the rocks underneath.

What a memorable trip and we couldn't have done it without you! Thanks so much!

Tara & Aaron M. (Arlington, Virginia)

Trish -

We are happy to know that you would take the time to respond and answer our question, even though you have already received our final payment!!!! These days it seems as though everyone has great customer service until they get what they want.

Our experience with you has been an absolute pleasure. We are very confident that everything will work without a hitch. I think that we should all get together for a drink when we get there...

Best Regards,
Alison and Steve R. (Kittery, Maine)

Hello and Greetings,

I just wanted to take this time to say how much I appreciate and enjoyed working with one of your "Star" agents. What a delightful person she is. She was very sweet and friendly and she made me feel so comforted and reassured with my travel plans. Especially, since I will be on my Honeymoon--I can be very picky. When you spend a lot of money you want the best so, I can get very "exact" about everything as one should. However, she was going all out to really "please" me and my future husband.

I look forward to going on further vacations with McCoy Travel so thank you for such a job well done.

Mahalo Nui Loa...

Sincerely,
Laura J. H. ( Santa Clara, California)
