Couples Tower Isle continues to impress!

When Tom and Erika returned from Couples Tower Isle they had only great things to say about the resort and their entire vacation, they were there celebrating their honeymoon! The two of them stayed busy enjoying the resorts off site excursions and meeting other guests. A few years ago I helped Tom and Erika plan a celebration vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Tom had just returned home from serving our country. It was great to be apart of and help with such two important trips for such a wonderful couple.

Couples Tower Isle has been a big hit this year with our clients. It is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and is an adults only and all inclusive resort. This resort features 6 dining options, 4 bars, 3 pools, snorkeling, windsurfing, kayaking and much more. As a bonus Couples Tower Isle includes a few if site excursions a tour of Dunn's River Falls, a Shopping Shuttle and a Catamaran Cruise to Mararitaville. You and your love one are sure to find a spot to relax or a activity to enjoy for the day!

A slice of Heaven . . .

Jason and Cassie decided to leave their vacation up to Couples Resorts and book their promotion the Couples Rendezvous which meant that they knew their vacation would be in Jamaica but did not know what Couples Resort they would stay at until 3 days prior to their departure.

We'll they were going to stay at Couple Tower Isle, they loved it so much that Cassie called me while they were there "Nichole we do not want to come home" calls like this really makes my day!

Couples has their own lounge right in the airport.

Tower Isle features a private island.

Ocean view Room

Their view - beautiful!

Cassie and Jason

Nichole,

Amazing time in Jamaica. We ended up with a ocean view room with a balcony, it was perfect in every way. We are the type of people who most likely would not go back to a resort a second time, because there is so much of the world to see...but we will and would recommend this resort to anyone and hope to go back! The group picture I attached, are the friends we met in the short five days we were there. Its just so different than anywhere else we have ever been. The staff is truly amazing. The whole resort is older, but it so well maintained. It has a very historic, but clean and chic feel. Nichole, you have to go.

There were so many activities, we could not do them all while we were there. We did Dunns River Falls, Catamaran Cruise and Snorkeling. All were great, only 1-2 hours long, so you can get back and continue enjoying the resort. We did not have time for Glass Bottom Boat tour or horseback riding. You could go and not spend a dollar, the no tipping policy is very strict, we never saw anyone tip the whole time we were there. We liked that a lot, the pressure of how much to tip or who to tip is gone, after all "no worries mon."

Food was excellent Asian Restaurant (Bayside) was AMAZING! We really wanted to do them, but we were to busy. Buffet was always great. The only con I can identify was it was truly not enough time, as I'm sure you realized with the desperate phone call. Worked out that we came home, would have been stuck at the airport in the snowstorm otherwise.

Keep me in mind if you see any great deals to Couples. -Jason and Cassy

Thank you Jason and Cassie, right from the start you were such a joy to work with, I love it when my clients have such a passion for travel!

My Minnesota Wedding Show

On Saturday I spent the day meeting couples at the My Minnesota Wedding Show in Monticello. It may have been snowing but is did not stop many couples to come and meet the areas Top Wedding Professionals. I love to see a little snow never stops a true Minnesotan.

Throughout the day I met many great people, and of course talked weddings and honeymoons all day. Some of the hot destinations brides were thinking about were, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico and Hawaii. With all the snow falling it was really easy to think about that dream honeymoon. Not only destinations were on the top of our conversation but so was all the extraordinary resorts to offer.
A few of the hot resorts: Sandals
Couples
El Dorado
Secrets
Palace Resorts


You may hear me say that this vacation will be one of the most memorable vacations you two take together as a married couple. With that in mind are you searching on your own? Where to go and what resort to select, all the options can be over whelming, consider having a travel expert help you with all the large and small details. I love to start our relationship with a few questions, this will help all of us.

Here is a thought to get you started;
Describe you Honeymoon in 3 to 5 words? Each of you do this, that will show you if you are on the same page of what style of honeymoon you both want.

Budget, this is a big word for some. Do not let it scare you, this maybe your first vacation on your own as an adult, in reality how are you to know what to budget. This again is where I will step in and advice what might be that typically budget for the style of honeymoon you want and from there we will see if that is a COMFORTABLE budget for the two of you.

Adam Welz was also there, the President of the Central Minnesota Wedding Association. He spent the day handing out the Bride Guide. If you do not have one and would like one please email me and I will mail you one.

One of my Favorite Spots . . . Jamaica

One of my Favorite places to Vacation is Jamaica, you may have heard me say this before, but I cannot say it enough.

Jamaica is full of beautiful beaches, landscapes, wonderful people and memorable excursions. Jamaicans really know how to make you feel welcomed. Once you have visited Jamaica a time or two they always say "Welcome Home".
One time I was walking a bit fast to get something from my room, and was asked

"Whats your hurry ma am' you are on vacation, slow down?"

I often think of the question I was asked. I try to remind myself of that when I am home. We live such a busy, a rushed life, and forget some of our best moments in life or the one we stop to enjoy. I think that is one of my favorite things about my vacations is that the computer, cell phone, work load and even the house work do not come along. I know when I am at home I am always on the go but there is nothing like the moment arriving to a beautiful resort with someone handing you a cold beverage and a smile on their face Welcoming you!


It is not to late to start planning you Warm Winter Vacation and take your break from it all!
