"Judy and Maria have long been considered as the leading source of information on our resorts --  Secrets Resorts and Spas, Dreams Resorts and Spas and Sunscape Resorts and Spas.  They constantly keep themselves informed, continually experience the resorts first-hand and have built a personal rapport and friendship with everyone at the resorts. 

These women are a shining example of the value and contribution professionals in the field can make to a customer. Our many years of association with Judy and Maria has always proven to be both rewarding and professional, and we look forward to many more years of mutual success! All the best, Judy and Maria!”

"Nearly 25 years ago and in as many countries my resort career began.  From the tiny islands of Micronesia, through the Caribbean to the deserts of Northern Africa, my travels have introduced me to the top travel professionals within the industry, however none can hold a candle to the girls from Coatesville, Pennsylvania.  For almost 7 years now, Judy and Maria have shown me the meaning of "Simply the Best!"

You will never find more qualified and knowledgeable professionals when it comes to making your vacation truly "Something to Remember!"  The simple fact that Judy & Maria are in constant contact with the properties and the team working within will give you an immediate sense of comfort.  They know their properties because they've been there and experienced it for themselves, they know the management as well as the staff and I guarantee you'll never find a closer relationship than that which exists between Judy & Maria and one of their properties listed in their premiere portfolio."

"I met Judy & Maria at the first resort operated by AMresorts in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) when I was the Resident Manager there,almost 7 years ago. As General Manager of Dreams Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa, it is amazing to see how these two dynamic entrepreneurial women handle their company. They are capable of following every single guest that decides to stay at our resort and in any other. Two weeks prior to the arrival of their clients they send a note by email to the General Manager or to the Rooms Division Manager to ensure a successful vacation for our future guests. Not many agencies with a large volume of traffic are able to do that today.

Both women are frequent travelers, looking always for the best spots in each city. Not every resort appears on their menu; only selected properties oriented to Americans. They are one of the few agencies that really involves itself with the hotel and its staff and they know which positions need to be contacted in every resort to guarantee your best vacation. They help the Hotel to personalize your service, and that is just one of the reasons why it is a great pleasure to work with professional women like Judy & Maria."

Dreams Puerto Aventuras.   “I have spent my last 10 years working for the Hotel Industry, I have had the opportunity to meet lots of people, colleagues, travel agents, consultants, friends, business people, etc. Only a few are in constant contact with me. Two associates who fit the friend, business people, consultant and travel agent descriptions are Judy & Maria whose successful company has given me the greatest impression in regards to what best service is. "Good, better, best, never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best." These are wisest words I have ever learnt and Judy & Maria taught them to me, and they really apply it.  Judy and Maria are always following up on their clients' needs and requests.  Since I met them back in the Dominican Republic around 10 years ago, they visit all the hotels they sell at least twice a year, including our properties. That should give their clients confidence in their services. For all this and more, thank you Judy & Maria, not only for being great friends, but also for being an example of what Best Service is. “

Dreams Punta Cana Resort and Spa.   "After 20 years in the hospitality industry in various countries, resorts and positions, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to join AMResorts.  From the very first day it was stressed that the most important goal of our company was our close relationships with our valued travel partners and guests and it was then I had my first chance to meet and work with Judy and Maria at Secrets Capri Riviera Maya.  It was immediately clear that these ladies had a passion for the business and total guest satisfaction I’ve rarely if ever seen during my career. Over the past several years, not only have we established a wonderful business relationship, but have built a friendship built upon the mutual goal of "complete guest satisfaction"!!!  I take great pride in not only personally attending to all aspects of the guests needs but always going that extra mile for clients of Judy and Maria as I know they’ve spent considerable time and effort insuring my property, staff and service is exactly what the guest is expecting! I look forward to many many years in the future working closely with these true travel professionals!"

Judy and Maria,

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa.  "Since the first day we met I have had a lovely impression.  WOW!  Your landing at the Sunscape Casa del Mar Resort in the helicopter was just unforgettable and that is how you treat your clients, unforgettable.  You offer the best travel website that I ever experienced and you go the extra mile for your clients and for your suppliers.

There are very few travel experts that follow up on details like you do, I can count them on one hand.  You provide your clients the very best.  It is amazing to receive your emails to make reservations for your clients, and then you keep in contact to check details, making sure that your clients get exactly what you saw and experienced during your site inspection.

Personally, I love you both because of the way you conduct your business and, most important, the way you retain clients and friends!  You’re both just exceptional.

I always enjoy the time I spend with special people like you both and was especially flattered that you thought to include me in this new project.  Thank you again for allowing me to write about you."

After working more than 20 years in the hotel industry, I can say with great certainty that Judy and Maria are without doubt the vanguards of selling quality products and providing excellent customer service, consistently finding new and innovative ways to improve their agency and offer more interesting and attractive packages to vacationers.

I had the recent pleasure of accompanying them on their first site inspection of our new NH Hotels' property in the Dominican Republic, the EdenH Real Arena Resort, which opened in January 2008. The visit left me with a pleasant feeling of assuredness when I noted Judy and Maria's very positive reaction to this new property, which will be our first in this beautiful Caribbean country and will offer the utmost in luxury and quality of service.

As always, it is a great pleasure to work with such professionals in this industry and more importantly to have them as my very special friends, who continue to offer me extremely useful advice and remarkable personal support.
