Courtney was awesome!
Courtney does an amazing job in the planning process from start to finish. She's very courteous and was always on top of things. Highly recommend her. She did a great job managing 11 of us in a group. Our resort was a bit of a disappointment which was no fault of Courtney or the Travel Advantage. Despite it being out of her or the travel agency's control, Courtney has done a great job trying to "right the wrong". The Travel Advantage is an awesome place to book your vacation with and they ALWAYS have your back and look into the best options for what your looking for in a vacation.

Can't wait to help plan your next adventure!
