Dear Travel by Horizon, Wow! Do we want to be back in the surf and sun of Jamaica so Bad! We had an amazing time visiting Curuaco” and Aruba. The locations you suggested met all of our expectations with just the right amount of relaxation and festivity to fit our needs. I do not know how you new exactly what we needed, but are deeply appreciative. We would like to look at something in Europe for the Spring if possible.
Thanks for the best trip ever,
Lynn Hendry

Dear Rhonda,
Wow was I in trouble! After having found my Bride to be and working thru convincing her to marry me I was not prepared for all the things that would be thrown at me for the wedding.
I did run into just a slight problem that I forget to book my honey moon in all the running around getting ready for the wedding.
When I called at 5:30 on Friday, the day before our wedding, I was really not sure if there was a prayer in finding something for the next day inside of our budget. Rhonda not only found something in Orlando for us but it was in our budget and had some nice touches we were not expecting once we got there.
We both new we were very fortunate to have the help of a true professional, who new what we where looking for and how to get it for us.
Thanks for bailing me out and making the start of our life together wonderful.
Eddie & Laurie

Dear Harold and Rhonda,
When I dreamed of fishing in ALASKA for King Salmon…….never did I expect it to fulfill those deep down desires to do those things a man does. The water, the wind, the salt, saga of me and the fish….is of course one that will live long after I pass. Thanks for making this the best trip ever!!

Hello Stephanie,
WOW…after months of planning it’s finally coming to an end soon! Nelson and I are so excited and we are counting down the days to our “honeymoon”. I have copied/pasted our flight itinerary from Spirit for our trip. We’ll purchase our seats later. As far as checked bags, only I purchased it (1 bag each way). If you have any questions on this reservation, please give me a call.
Also, please let me know about the $10 tourist card – if we purchase that upon arrival or in advance. Oh, I almost forgot…are we not eligible for the “honeymoon package” we had originally for our trip in June? We obtained a marriage certificate from our parish, and we were just wondering if we still qualified for it since it really is our honeymoon J.
I can’t thank you enough for all the help you have given me during the last few months, with the location, resort, dates, prices, changes, etc. You have been so patient with me and every conversation I have had with you I have felt like I just finished chatting with a friend. You are a great listener! It’s refreshing to work with someone who pays attention to what type of vacation I/WE want…and not what is in the best interest for the travel agent. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I hope to have the opportunity to work with you for our future travels…don’t forget our 5 year goal… ITALY ! On that note, as we discussed earlier, we would love your help in planning for our Disney Cruise for April of 2009. I will be ready to put down a deposit in September so any help/information you could provide us in the meantime will be very much appreciated. We are looking at a 4 day/3 night cruise. We are first-timers to the cruising adventure so we need to start small J
Talk to you soon,Ari Rodriguez

Thanksagain for all you help.Bryan Killian




To whom it may concern,
My husband and I wanted to express how grateful we are for a wonderful trip. This was our second trip to Sandals Dunns River. Besides the beautiful resort and the relaxing atmosphere, the staff is what made us want to come back. And after this last trip the experience and the staff were exponentially better than our first trip. We felt as though we were treated like family.
We owe much of our destination decision, this time and last, to our wonderful travel agent Stephanie Raimer with Travel By Horizon. Both this time and last she was in constant contact with us before and after our trips to ensure we did not have any unanswered questions. She took the time to listen to us and in turn she was able to give us exactly what we were looking for in a vacation. Her demeanor and attention to detail will keep us coming back to her for all of our travel needs and Sandals vacations.
Though, we could say great things about the entire resort staff, there were a few individuals who made our trip truly memorable. First of all, Lastardo Roberts, “Star”, from Snap Shot is amazing. We met Lastardo on our first visit, two years ago and unfortunately we did not keep in touch with him. Nevertheless, at our returning guest dinner we saw each other and not only did he remember who we were, he remembered what we were wearing on the photo shoot we did with him. In part, it was detail like that made us feel at home and we will make sure that we do not lose contact with him this time.
Moreover, we met Clayton Peters on this trip and we hope he is still with the resort on our return visit. He was our server almost every morning at the Ristorante Colombo and he also took care of us several times at the Ristorante Il Capitano. His upbeat personality and quality of service made us feel as though we had known him for years.
Also, our concierge Florence always took great care of us. With her mother like qualities, she made sure we were constantly smiling. Two more honorable mentions would have to be Mario from the Tree Bar and Ivan from the Water Sports. Mario made us laugh every time we sat or even walked by the bar and Ivan was always very helpful and extremely courteous.
We look forward to our return trip in 2009.
Sincerely
Christy and Scott Santos




Hi Stephanie,
I apologize for not emailing you yesterday, but as you can imagine the first day back to work after vacation is usually very chaotic. I don’t even know where to begin…but I hope that YOU ARE THE BEST will do! As I mentioned on our call, our trip to the Excellence was amazing! It was everything I could have imagined and more. Nelson and I are so grateful for ALL the help you provided us. Everything you told us to expect and not expect was exactly what we encountered. It was so refreshing to have the knowledge of what we were going to encounter, especially it being our first time traveling internationally and all-inclusive.
The resort was absolutely gorgeous! It was truly living in paradise for 6 days. Your recommendation to the Excellence was by far the best! When we arrived, many of the locals were telling us that we were staying at the #1 rated resort in Punta Cana. They talked about how elegant, expensive, and beautiful it was, and we couldn’t wait to get there. When we finally did arrive – Nelson and I were overwhelmed by the beauty and the extremely energetic and super-nice staff. When we were told about our upgrade to the ocean-view swimming pool room…I just started crying. I couldn’t believe we were there and experiencing this.
Our 6 days in Punta Cana were amazing and memorable, and Nelson and I connected in such a way that we had never experienced in the 10 years of marriage. We joked that we owe it to you for opening our eyes to something that we have felt so guilty about doing since we have a family. We are a very happy couple and believe our marriage is strong, but sometimes as parents we forget that we need that alone time every now and then, and remind each other that the love and intimacy is still there. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, because after all of our conversations prior to our trip, you kept reassuring me that we deserved this trip. I knew that deep inside, but I still had that hint of regret because we were excluding the kids. Well, I will be the first to admit that besides the 5 minutes per day that we spoke to the boys, we rarely spoke of them. Nelson and I just enjoyed every minute of our days together.
I could go on and on with my sappy stories about the trip, but I won’t bore you. J THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Your guidance these last few months is extremely appreciated, and as I said before, you always looked out for our best interest – not just yours. I can assure you that I will be calling you for all of our future travel needs. You took away the headaches that I would have encountered if I had gone about booking our trip on our own. Every phone call I made to you, you were always so helpful and friendly…in short Stephanie…you helped make this trip amazing! What can I say…you made my Nelson a very happy man. For that I owe you – because this man is now all about making sure we get to experience trips such as this one on a yearly basis.
I have attached just a couple of pics – you can tell how happy we were…of course we were also under the influence of all those wonderful drinks J. I can’t wait to do this again. By the way, I looked up the Beaches website – and the Turks and Caicos resort looks immaculate! WOW! Definitely let me know what the price ranges are for that one. We would like to book during the fall season in 2009. 5-6 days for the four of us. I look forward to working with you again on planning this next trip – which I am sure will be just as amazing as our Punta Cana trip!
Talk to you soon!
Ari Rodriguez
