Riu Emerald Bay, Mazatlan Mexico
The resort was great! It’s a big resort, lots of pools so it never felt crowded. The waterpark was great the kids really enjoyed it so that was a nice touch too. Rooms were good, nothing special but very clean. Food was good, lots of selection, good service. We really liked the resort, and both Kirstin and I agreed we’d go back there. The only downside we found was that the beach wasn’t private, so it was really busy with locals setting up their tents and stuff. But we honestly didn’t mind it really we still spent lots of time on the beach. Hope that helps! Thanks a lot again for the help, you’ll definitely have to help us next year when we go again!

Our experience booking an all-inclusive stay at the Catalonia resort in Jamaica was fantastic, thanks to Brittney Minnings at TravelOnly! She handled all our travel arrangements, and when our 6 a.m. flight was delayed, she quickly arranged for us to fly out the next day and booked us a room at the Alt Hotel, conveniently connected to Pearson Airport.
From choosing the perfect resort to suggesting the Privileged upgrade—which we highly recommend—Brittney took care of everything. The upgrade gave us preferred rooms near the adults-only pool and access to the BLoved restaurant, exclusive to Privileged guests and requiring no reservations. We also enjoyed the à la carte restaurants, especially Momma Mia, which we visited twice because it was so good!
The staff throughout the resort were friendly and efficient. We did a rafting excursion that was fun, though we only spent about 45 minutes rafting out of a full-day trip (8:30–3), with the rest of the time spent waiting.
Overall, our vacation was wonderful and went smoothly from start to finish—aside from the weather delay, which was out of anyone’s control. We would absolutely recommend Brittney Minnings for your future travel plans!

Casa Marina Beach and Reef, Sosua Dominican Republic
Review of Casa Marina Beach and Reef. Standard Room, Garden view. 2 adults
Our flight was nice and I loved the air bus that Air Transit uses. We arrived and got through Customs smoothly. Our Air Transit rep was there and our bus ride was maybe 20 min to the resort. Our check in went smoothly and only took 1/2 an hour. Rooms are small but clean, water was hot and air conditioning worked. My only complaint with the rooms is there is no coffee makers in them and you have to go all the way to the buffet to get a coffee. Pools were clean and refreshing with many lounge chairs available. There was no wait staff to serve you drinks around the pool area or bars, you had a good 3 min walk to get a beverage. I didn’t mind but sometimes on vacation you want to be spoiled. The food from the buffet and snack bar was good, we always found something to eat. We liked the fact that you could go into A la Cartes as many times as you like. We truly didn't take advantage of the night life, as after a day in the sun and a great dinner we just ended the day with the beautiful sunset and then drinks back at on our room’s balcony. The staff was great but only had one bartender at each of the three bars. Service in the buffet area was great. The resort had beautiful grounds and was well kept. The view speaks for itself as its looked upon the mountains of Puerto Plata and a spectacular sunset. The town of Sosua is just minutes away and has many little towns with some amazing shops, restaurants and malls. This was my favorite part of my trip. I loved that I could go into this town and live the Dominican life style, feeling totally safe and secure.
All in all, I would go back but I would upgrade to a select room as you get better benefits and a coffee maker in your room.
This is my second time dealing with Brittney. My husband and I decided on March 21st to take a 5-day vacation and we wanted to leave March 30th to either the Dominican or Cuba and gave her our price point. Brittney got back to us in a timely matter, considering it was Friday night when we sent in our request and Saturday morning when we got itinerary on the resorts, she thought would fit our style. Brittney's knowledge of countries and resorts is what is so amazing about having her as a travel agent, it speaks volume and helped us to make the right decision on destination and resort. We were booked Sunday and had our itinerary by Monday. We left following Sunday.
I would definitely book through Brittney again and have already told all of our family and friends about her friendly attitude, professionalism and knowledge.
Thank you, Brittney, for all your hard work you made our last-minute vacation one for our book of memories.

Barcelo Bavaro Palace, Punta Cana
The resort was beautiful. Very big. They were slow on restocking some items, mostly our coffee. It was a long walk to the lobby. Our room was very big with a hot tub on a nice back deck. Some of the restaurant’s food was not so good. The French one and the seafood one were both gross. The Italian and the Japanese were awesome! The shows were good. The resort was clean and the staff were friendly. I would recommend this resort.

I was planning a girl’s trip of 9 ladies for a friend’s 65th, Brittney was not only so accommodating but also patient with us. Dealing with 9 ladies and all of our preferences was not an easy task, Brittney went out of her way to make us all happy her knowledge of destinations and resorts helped us find the resort that was amazing and just what we all wanted. Thank you Britney for making this special vacation a success we couldn’t have done it without you!!!
