Island Getaways

Nancy helped plan our beautiful wedding at Sandals Emerald Bay, Bahamas. She recommended a walk-out villa with butler service, which was a wonderful suggestion. The villa was definitely the best location on the property and the butler spoiled us. Nancy's knowledge and suggestions were so helpful for a stress and worry free planning!

I truly do not know what I would have done without Nancy and Tom of Island Getaways! After countless hours of searching for a perfect wedding location for my now husband, about 40 of our closest friends and family, and myself-I realized I was not going to be able to do this alone. Upon first talking to Tom I knew that I had found gold! Tom and Nancy were not only was extremely knowledgeable about the resorts I was looking at, but he was able to put me at ease and assure me that out wedding would be absolutely perfect. Tom and Nancy were available nearly 24/7 for assistance, which was perfect for our crazy schedule! Our wedding was absolutely perfect, our guests had the time of their lives, and we all cannot wait to plan another trip back! Tom and Nancy, you simply are just the best!

Thanks to the insightful recommendations by Nancy Finn we had the wedding of our dreams! She went the extra mile countless times throughout our entire (over a year long) planning process, for the entire wedding group! Just planning a wedding can be so stressful. Add to it coordinating 20 guest’s flights and hotel stays in another country! If it weren’t for Nancy’s diligence and patience we would have been nervous wrecks trying to plan it all. I don’t know how she does it, but she managed to work her magic and make everyone happy. In our first meeting at Island Getaways we knew we wanted to have the wedding in Jamaica, but we had no idea which resort. The best decision we ever made was to take Nancy’s first suggestion to get married at the Sandal’s Whitehouse with our friends and family, and transfer to Sandal’s Negril for our honeymoon. She truly is an expert and made us feel extremely confident about our plans. The resort was even more amazing than in the catalogs, and as you can see in our incredible wedding photos- we all had the time of our lives.Thank you so much, Nancy, for helping us make the biggest day of our lives feel so effortless and so worry-free. You were an absolute asset to have on our side from the first day we called you for our meeting- to our phone call to you from the Jamaica airport. We knew we could count on you, and that made all the difference.Sincerely, Joella & Matthew

We have used Nancy and Tom at Island Getaways for many trips including our recent Wedding. When you have alot of other stuff to worry about its a must to have all your Travel plans done correctly and not have to worry about all the details of booking a trip. We have been completely happy with all of our bookings and have felt secure in knowing all details are taken care of. We have met other travelers that have made bookings themselves or with other companies that had BAD trips because of screwed up bookings. My wife and I would highly recommend Island Getaways for your future travel needs.

We were referred to Nancy by some friends of ours who used her to book their honeymoon. We knew we wanted to go to Jamaica, wanted all-inclusive, and adults only. Nancy was able to help us narrow down our selections, until ultimately we chose Sandals Negril. It was the first time either of us had booked a big trip like this so we were quite nervous. Nancy was thorough and timely in her responses, leaving us feeling like we were in good hands! Our trip was fabulous. Her tips she sent us before our trip really made what we experienced on our honeymoon even better. We will definitely used her again!

Nancy was absolutely wonderful to work with. She is easy to get in touch with (I called her at midnight once and she was available to talk), prompt about returning emails and phone calls, and a wealth of knowledge. She is a Saint Lucia expert and was very helpful with helping us to decide which places to stay at and for how long. She also took care of all of our transfers. Everything went perfect during the honeymoon, so I never needed to contact her, but I’m confident that if there were an issue, she would have handled it right away. She also made sure that if there were any room upgrades available, we would get them. We did in fact get a room upgrade at Jade Mountain, and it happened to be one of the nicest rooms they have! Our honeymoon was relaxing, fun, amazing, and unforgettable. We have Nancy to thank for that. We will definitely use Nancy in the future!

My husband and I booked our resort stay, travel arrangements and our parents' resort stay through My Island Getaways and could not have asked for a better experience!! It was not just a fabulous stay at the Sandals resort, but it included our wedding and honeymoon! Nancy was always responsive, helpful and accommodating to any questions we had in the planning process. She provided dead-on advice regarding the expected service, experience and the island. We would book travel through My Island Getaways again in a heartbeat!

Let me just begin by saying…WOW! We had the most wonderful amazing wedding! I cannot begin to thank Aimee Moore with myislandgetaways.com enough for all the work and effort she put into every detail of our May 8th 2010 wedding. You have no idea how much Aimee went above & beyond for all of us with booking and got us lots of extras and upgrades. Aimee went over every spot we had looked at and she was so honest about every pro & con of every place we had our eyes on, and she just wasn’t trying to sell us something! The hotel we ended up choosing El Dorado Royale in Riviera Maya, Mexico it was perfect for us, and all 30 of our guests who made the trip with us!All of the pre-arranged details from the transfers to the candle light dinners and honeymoon breakfast were so well organized and made all of us feel so pampered! All of Aimee’s planning made our wedding trip so stress-free. It was more than we could have ever dreamed of! I thought planning our wedding would be so stressful that I would need medication in the end, but it wasn’t and Aimee was right there to answer every one of my crazy questions by phone or email 24/7! She took the time to get to know us and it meant that the wedding of our dreams was everything we were looking for! We wouldn’t have changed a thing! Right now we happen to be pregnant with our first baby but the minute we feel comfortable leaving the baby with grandparents we are calling up Aimee to book a late honeymoon! I am sure being new parents and not having time for ourselves we can count on Aimee to handle every detail of the honeymoon! We can’t wait! –Jennifer & Andrew Schroeder OKC

Nancy booked our honeymoon for us at Sandals Emerald Bay. But, "booking our honeymoon" did not just mean setting up the flights and resort reservations (though, she did that fabulously), it also meant giving specific reviews and advice on all the possible resort and island choices, giving recommendations on excursions, and handling any hiccups that come up during a vacation. Simply put, Nancy went FAR above and beyond for us! The resort was just as wonderful as she described. And, when we had a small room hiccup at the beginning of our trip, Nancy called the resort and soon we had a new room, the resort manager was calling to check on us and give us gift certificates for couples massages. I would use no one but Nancy for booking a trip in the caribbean, Mexico, etc.Brette from Kansas City

We never knew Paradise was so close to home. I'm repeating the other reviews, but it's worth repeating! Planning and booking our honeymoon was the easiest part of our wedding thanks to Tom and Nancy. I called them in a panic, on "information overload" from trying to do it myself, and they were so helpful. Their experience with the Caribbean was invaluable, their tips and advice were spot-on, and our trip went incredibly smoothly because of their input. Even down to little things like "bring bug spray", which made us the envy of many of the other guests! Jamaica was everything we hoped it would be, Couples Swept Away in Negril was absolute paradise, and we can't wait to go back! I wouldn't even think of calling someone else to book our next trip -- it's Tom and Nancy all the way!

My husband and I were referred to Island Getaways travel agent Aimee Moore. She was absolutely amazing. Not only helpful, but very responsive. She always got back to me right away with any questions I had (and I had many). Aimee gave us many options of different resorts to choose from, never pushing just one resort on us. My husband and I were married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica at Couples Tower Isle. It was more than we could have imagined. Everything with the wedding turned out perfectly. Latoya the wedding coordinator of the resort made it so simple and easy. I didn't have to worry about anything but showing up. Our relaxing vacation and amazing wedding wouldn't have turned out so great if it wasn't for all the help we had from Aimee. We will definitely use Aimee again for all our travel needs.

I have worked with Nancy from Island Getaways for awhile now and she is AWESOME! The best there is. I have done alot of traveling and worked with alot of agents and none could come close to comparing with Nancy. I will never go anywhere else. I am a very fussy person when it comes to travel and she has never let me down. I have had Nancy book several trips for me and there is never a slip up. All the I's are dotted and the T's are always crossed. When Nancy books a trip for me I always am treated like a VIP. We recently went to Sandals Antigua and we felt like royalty from the minute we got off the plane. We traveled to Sandals Whitehouse where we got engaged and that was awesome too. She has booked trips for me to St. Lucia several times, Jamaica at Couples Negril, Sandals Royal Bahamian etc... I think the neat thing is that when you go to these places the managers and staff all know her and speak very highly of her. It just makes you feel like you have a common bond. Really cool. Good Luck everyone!Charlotte

We originally worked with Nancy to plan our honeymoon for April 2009. After an absolutely amazing trip, we knew that we could never plan another Caribbean vacation without Nancy's help. We recently went to Jamaica and our trip lived up to our expectations. Nancy made sure that every detail was taken care of to make our trip flawless. Traveling can be stressful enough but working with Nancy gives me the peace of mind to know that as soon as we arrive at the airport, the stress is gone and vacation can begin!! With Nancy's expertise, I feel that she is able to offer more "perks" to enhance the trip. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to travel to the islands and for those looking to work with a top notch travel agent. Can't wait to book our next trip with Nancy and Island Getaways!!!!

Nacy was extremely wonderful in making the most special vacation of our lives as fabulous as it possibly could be! She helped us witht the price range we had set, was always available for questions, and when we arrived, it was everything we had hoped. We even had the pleasure of meeting Nacy while we were there. I would (and have) recommended My Island Getaways.

I went with Nancy at myIslandgetaways after having a friend of mine recommend her website to me. I am sooooo happy I called her. After listening to me about what I was hoping for in a vacation she gave me several recommendations for where I should spend my honeymoon. After my (now wife) and I made our decision she set our whole trip up for us. She also personally contacted the Sandals resort we were staying at and got our room upgraded for us. Nancy also recommended to us several excursions and restaurants for us to try when we were in St. Lucia. Again, she was spot on with her recommendations. Finally, her staff was always helpful if she was unavailable. I would DEFINITELY go back to myislandgetaways for any other trip I have planned.

This summer we were able travel to Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica and it was beautiful. We celebrated our marriage and Nancy helped in creating beautiful memories for us. I was able to call Nancy and staff with any questions or concerns and they were very efficient. I definitely look forward to working with island getaways over and over again!Tmatthews

As the groom, I was in charge of the honeymoon. I love to travel so it was the perfect job for me. My wife had found Island Getaways at a bridal show in the Milwaukee area and met Nancy and immediately liked her. Shortly there after I met Nancy after already talking to her on the phone and I couldn't have agreed more with my wife. Nancy was a pleasure to work with and helped us create a beautiful Saint Lucian honeymoon that met our budget and time frame. We were presented with as many options as we had requested and given the advice we sought quickly. I know there are lots of other beautiful spots to honeymoon, but we had our heart set on the Caribbean and Saint Lucia was the perfect spot for us. Any future vacations we plan I wouldn't hesitate to work with Nancy and Island Getaways again. Her personal experience with all the resorts she showed us gave us a comfort level that we knew we would be getting exactly what we were hoping for. The bottom line is at no point were we concerned with our choice and now with our honeymoon over we have nothing but beautiful memories to look back on.

Always amazing! Thanks to Nancy Finn for planning yet another amazing vacation for our group. It cannot be easy to coordinate with 4 couples on location, flights, price etc but you always pull it off providing us with a beautiful, fun-filled, vacation. I would personally like to thank both you and Tom for going above and beyond when booking our vacations. I love the "real" pictures that you send me prior to my arrival. I always know what to expect once I reach the resort. From Mexico to Jamaica, you have always surpassed our expectations. We look forward to booking with Island Getaways every year. Thanks Tom and Nancy for always providing us with the best vacation ever!

Nancy Finn at Island Getaways made planning our wedding at El Dorado Royale Casitas a dream come true!

Booking our honeymoon through Island GetAways was probably the easiest thing we did in our planning. Because of their history in traveling to the Carribean - they were able to provide us with their own personal experiences for each location/resort. Which helped make our decision easier.
