Both trips were planned meticulously and intentionally with my budget, schedule, and interests in mind. For my New York City trip, she ensured that my itinerary included scenic rooftop views, street festivals, where to eat the best bagel and pizza, restaurants with international vegan food, and off-the-radar finds in Brooklyn and Queens. Big cities like NYC can often feel overwhelming due to the endless options at hand, but Kellie made sure the experience was personalized both in terms of budget and unforgettable experiences - while always leaving room for spontaneity. In the Dominican Republic, I visited Puerto Plata where my friends and I did a catamaran excursion to Cayo Arena, explored historical sites situated in the town square, and tasted the local cuisine in places that were not your typical tourist-traps. Kellie made sure our trip remained authentic and culturally immersive. Bee Right Back Travel is not another generic travel agency; as a seasoned traveler and guide, Kellie is attuned to the needs of her clients and will go above and beyond to guarantee a unique and memorable experience. Will be booking again soon for my summer trips to Oslo and Berlin! Thank you, Kellie!

We worked with Cathy and while trying to decide on a destination (we had several on our list), were impressed at her in depth knowledge of what seemed to be everything related to traveling. She's very passionate and experienced as a traveler, as well as in her field as an agent. Her advice and insight definitely led us to feeling confident in all of our planning decisions. Cathy put together several itineraries for us and was always available, with a quick turn around time whenever we had any questions. Working with a travel agency can also be really pricey, but Carefree will work with you to customize a package that will fit within your budget. I especially appreciated Cathy's patience and all of the time she spent with us, whether it was communicating in person, on the phone, or email.

The woman who said she could help me didn't even let me finish stating my problem (not even halfway through) when she just started nodding her head vigorously and saying she wouldn't help me. I walked out less than 5 minutes after I walked in. It was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional to not even let me ask her my question. Not to mention that when I walked in, there were about 4 people there but no one attempted to help me until after a solid 30 seconds of standing there like a deer in the headlights. I took my business elsewhere (to VeryBest Travel in Bonita, CA) and they were not only willing to solve my problem, but did so in less than an hour. It doesn't cost anything to be nice and to hear a customer out to see if you can help them. Obviously, my problem wasn't so "impossible" to solve that less than an hour later another travel agency was able to help me and did solve my problem. Needless to say, I will NEVER be returning here.

I had a great time! Beat my expectations a lot given the extremely low price. So the room was WAY bigger than expected for what I paid for it. I understand that it was the suite, but I wasn't expecting a large suite at all because it was so cheap. The front service was super friendly, helpful, everything. They were able to facilitate complimentary early check-in as well. In short, the service was very good and everyone at the front desk was super helpful and accomodating. Apparently there's some sketchy areas nearby if you walk to Old Town through a very weird direction (you should actually cross the street and go through the underground passage). Location is convenient, the prices are SUPER affordable, and it's just overall nice and cozy. Complimentary breakfast was also nice and easy. Had a very pleasant stay and would likely stay here again the next time I'm in this part of San Diego!

It may not be the most updated hotel on the boardwalk, but it has everything you need. The staff is always welcoming, the house keeping staff are friendly and trustworthy, the parking lot is gated and secured by a guard throughout the day, the rooms are always clean the grounds are well maintained, and after all the years of being loyal visitors, we have yet to experience anything negative at this property. I love that the grounds are secure and you can allow your children to go into the courtyard area and play the provided games with peace of mind- knowing that they'll be safe. They provide tons of outdoor seating options and grills for tenants, which makes cooking a breeze. In order to enter from the beach/boardwalk, you must have a room key to enter the premises- another awesome perk. This keeps all the riff-raft out of the area. &At night, they also require a room key to enter through the front of the building- which is a newer feature, and much appreciated. You can leave your beach toys & chairs outside your room without worrying about someone coming to steal it. We have locked our bikes up downstairs in the courtyard area & nobody messes with them. This is such a great place to stay & an amazing tradition that our family has. We look forward to our visit every May!

It was right on the beach as…read moreadvertised, tons of active beach goers, surfers, dog walkers, joggers, teens at lifeguard school, you name it -- all sorts of active lifestyles without it feeling too crowded. The parking lot isn't huge so the first night we had to park in the metered lot next door, but they reimburse you for any parking fees. I was however able to find parking the next two days. They even gave me a courtesy call saying they noticed my car in the other lot and to remind me to move it by a specific time. I had already set my alarm to move it, but that was nice. The lobby has free coffee/ espresso machine and a dispenser for purified water. They provide beach towels and efficient room service. The rooms themselves are pretty comfortable, but we had someone above us that walked back and forth non stop which was a bit annoying. I mean it's just one room and a bathroom how much walking do you need to do lol. When you go out your door, you just walk a down the little walkway to the beach. Everyone is barefoot it's so close. They have little areas to rinse off your feet and also a brush hanging outside your door handle to brush the excess sand off, cute touch. The beach viewing lounge area (pictured) is nice, people hang out there and drink their coffee or work on their laptops. I had one suggestion, and that would be to build a platform deck for the back seats, because it would give them an unobstructed view. As it is now, the wall blocks some of your view, but putting a platform deck would solve that and be relatively inexpensive to do. We would totally stay here again, it's walking distance to several good restaurants and a short drive to more. Relaxed, friendly vibe. The lobby itself

A couple of friends were visiting from San Francisco and had one extra night left at this hotel that were not going to use it. So since they were taking me for dinner at nearby Jake's, my girlfriend offered me the empty room for the night so I didn't have to drive in the dark and also enjoy a beautiful morning doing my 10,000 steps while simultaneously meditating and recording an episode of my podcast in Spanish. I loved the room super spacious and with everything I needed (even if the coffee machine did not work for me). Being right there by the beach was a total treat. I feel loved by my friends, especially since I have not been out of San Diego since past September for budget reasons doing multiple jobs at the time. So I appreciate this generosity and being at Del Mar Beach hotel as it is one of my favorite beaches and brings so much joy. The decor in the small lobby is very surfer, cool vibe. Similar inside the room. The restaurant does not have restaurant for breakfast but they offer free coffee and you can buy simple sweets (although there are plenty of options to eat nearby). Parking at the back of the hotel, no problem finding a spot and it is validated. Awesome experience, chill people, glorious sunsets from there!

To begin with, we did not encounter any of the "super friendly" staff mentioned in other reviews. In fact, the only interactions we had were overhearing staff laughing and chatting loudly while guests were trying to sleep. It felt unprofessional and inconsiderate. The walls were incredibly thin--we could hear everything, including conversations and people walking through the hallways. There was absolutely no sense of privacy. On top of that, the mattress was very uncomfortable, making it difficult to get any proper rest. The shower also had visible mold, which was surprising given how highly the property is reviewed for cleanliness. Overall, I would never stay here again. If it hadn't been Valentine's weekend and difficult to find alternative accommodations, we would have left and booked somewhere else.

It's in the heart of Pacific Beach and within easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and shopping. We hardly had to use our car the entire stay. The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He definitely went above and beyond. I didn't get his name but I was there around 6p. Thank you so much! We chose to pay for on-site parking, and I highly recommend it. Parking in Pacific Beach can be challenging, so having a guaranteed parking spot made our trip completely stress-free. We originally booked a partial ocean view room, but to our surprise, the front desk upgraded us to a full oceanfront room at no charge! They explained that they randomly select a few guests each day for complimentary perks such as room upgrades, free parking, or late checkout. We felt so lucky and truly appreciated the thoughtful gesture. The rooms have been beautifully renovated and are modern, clean, and very comfortable. The air conditioning worked great, the refrigerator was convenient, and everything felt fresh and well maintained. It's the perfect boutique beach hotel with an upscale feel while still being relaxed and comfortable. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the outstanding customer service, unbeatable location, beautiful renovated rooms, and unexpected upgrade, this was one of our favorite hotel stays in San Diego. We will absolutely be back!

The photos must've been taken at a flattering angle... from a different building. Let's start with parking, or rather, the thrilling scavenger hunt that is not included in your stay. You'll circle the block like a lost tourist in a bumper car, only to end up parking three zip codes away. It certainly doesn't help that the staff gives away parking spots to their friends while paying customers go without. Don't worry though, they'll call you on your third day to tell you that parking has miraculously opened up because they failed to sell out on their website. The room itself? Think "tiny house" but without the charm. It's so small that turning around feels like a game of Twister, and every surface seems to have been weaponized with sharp corners. A relaxing beach retreat shouldn't require a first-aid kit. Then there's the humidity...the kind that makes your clothes feel like they went swimming without you. The air inside the room is basically ocean soup, and everything smells faintly of wet flip-flops. Be prepared to wash every piece of your clothing, whether or not you wore it on vacation. The bathroom features a stylish sliding barn door, which is a great design choice if you've always wanted to share your most private moments with your travel companion. Hope you're close, or at least on speaking terms after this trip. The staff: Let's just say they operate on "beach time," except it's the kind of beach where no one wants to help you. Friendly enthusiasm must've checked out before we arrived. However, Housekeeping was great. Sure, it's near the beach, but so is a lifeguard tower, and you might get more space and hospitality there.

We initially contacted Kleon after reading a glowing review in Conde Nast traveler and, after exchanging emails and speaking with him, sent in a deposit to begin working with him. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the service we were then provided. We did not feel that the activities, hotels, or room types were any different than what we had already seen online and the prices were actually much more than what was advertised on the hotels' websites. We asked for different variations but the price never came down. During this process, another travel agent that we had contacted previously got back to us with an itinerary and price that were much better. We asked for our down payment back which was refused very nastily. I even offered to split it recognizing that he had done at least some work for us which was also refused. In the end, we went with the other agent, had a great experience, and paid less even factoring in the $1000 we lost to The Art of Travel. Don't make the same mistakes I did!

From the plane tickets to airport transfers to hotels to train tickets to rental cars, she booked it all, booked it WELL, and booked it under budget! We could not have been happier with the experience. We stayed in six different cities, with six different hotels, and with each new hotel, we were amazed that we were able to afford such places. Elizabeth explained it's all because ProTravel has access to wholesale booking rates. Believe me, it's a deal. A lot of the hotels we stayed in posted the room's rate right on the back of the room's door. But when we checked out, the rates we actually paid for some of the rooms were close to 50% off the advertised rate. Elizabeth checked in with us (via email/text) throughout our trip just to make sure everything was going well. We actually needed to change up some of our plans on short notice, and despite the time change, she was very responsive, and she quickly accommodated our requested change. ProTravel really took all the hassle out of planning this overseas trip. There's no way I would have been able to book the same trip on my own for this same price.
