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

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 hotel 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."

"Unlimited-Luxury. A New and Better Way to Have it All"

I first had the great opportunity of meeting both Judy & Maria while attending the Golden Apple Award ceremony held in Chicago in 2007. I was extremely impressed with just how dedicated and passionate they both felt about their works within the travel industry. Their main focus was to ensure that all clients were provided with correct information and that they felt proud to be able to assure their clients based on personal assessment of each individual resort which they have come to recommend. Deams La Romana has had the honor and distinct pleasure of working with Judy & Maria over the years for quite some time now. These two ladies have a tremendous amount of knowledge to share not only in the La Romana region but throughout the entire country as well. They have become party of our family constantly providing the best quality service to all of their guests. This dynamic team focuses on providing the best up to date information in regards to travels and they personally make it a priority to continuously visit each resort so that they may attest to the level of service being provided to all recommended clients. The honesty and integrity that this agency demonstrates to all is absolutely exceptional. 

We are so pleased to continue having such a wonderful relationship and certainly look forward to our future with Judy & Maria.

Judy & Maria are off the chart, they have again and again outpaced everyone when it comes to selling the Caribbean and their knowledge is discerning and accurate when it comes to portraying the hotels in their true character. Personally they research all their destinations and properties and only then, after being convince themselves, they promote the product and services we as hoteliers strive every day to offer our guests.

The Dominican Republic is truly a magical destination and the coverage they provide on their website is priceless. I have just met Judy & Maria this past month and have had the opportunity to work with them since, I personally value their professionalism and thorough knowledge of what a guest experience is all about.

Judy and Maria set the standard when it comes to selling the Caribbean, their website is not only insightful and accurate; it also always portrays hotels in their true light. Their personal interest in the destinations and properties they promote shows they believe in the product and service we strive to offer our guests. The Dominican Republic is an under-promoted destination and the coverage their website provides is invaluable. This is the fourth hotel I work at, where I have the opportunity to work with them and I personally value their professionalism and friendship

I look forward to welcoming Judy and Maria to our new property, Dreams Palm Beach. 

Linda M. Cappelli

Resident Manager

"I met Judy & Maria at the first hotel operated by AMresorts in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) when I was the Resident Manager there,almost 7 years ago. As General Manager, 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 hotel 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 hotel 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 hotel 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."

Luis F. Tirado

“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. “

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!

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, Eden by NH, 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. 

"It was a pleasure to see the both of you again at the Apple Vacations Trade Fair in Chicago, September 2007.  We're honored to maintain our Golden Apple status and proud to be represented on Judy and Maria's Travel.  Year after year these two special women provide not only an outstanding service to their clients, but they also uphold a personal, yet professional relationship with the Fiesta Hotel Group.  Your honest reviews, entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to your clients are remarkable and we're pleased to be able to continue to collaborate with the both of you.   Looking forward to our next reunion,"

As General Manager for the Grand Palladium Resorts in Jamaica. It has been truthfully an honor to have Judith and Maria as one of the first guests in the new resorts. We have shared three wonderful days together visiting every single corner of our naturally beautiful property and have discussed in which buildings and different areas of the complex their guests should be accommodated based on their profile. This time spent together has allowed me to know them more in depth and has made me understand the key factors for their success. Long hours on the computer dealing with every single customer to find out which hotel and destination match better for them; magnificent relations with all hotel Managers and Owners; hotel visits at the right time; an unbelievable knowledge of every single hotel on their portfolio; tailored vacations for each customer; apart from a huge human quality that make them unique around the world. 

All these qualities make us hoteliers always to set aside our best rooms and offer our best service to all Judith and Maria’s guests based on their requests in order to reach their high guests’ expectations.

I am proud to count these two beautiful ladies as my friends and I really appreciate the support they have given to me in the good and bad moments during the past five years.

Our resorts will be the first hotels of Jamaica included in their portfolio and it is what makes me even more proud of being the General Manager. The resorts in Jamaica has even overcome their expectations because of the beauty and location of the resorts and I am sure it will be the same with all customers visiting us in the near future. Remember: In Palladium you found the Jamaican smile that you could not find 15 years ago during your last visit.

We are really interested in exposure in the American market, especially when dealing with such a professional team as Judy & Maria’s Travel.  You are the perfect, example of what a real travel agent shoud be, i.e. a genuine travel consultant, not just a ticket agent looking for the best price.  It is value for money that clients look for, and this is what they will get with Judy & Maria’s Travel.  

This consultancy goes far beyond your clients.  It is a consultancy for us, the hotel group.  It is a pleasure to see how this team regularly visits the Grand Sirenis, especially considering the great times we have with you, always endeavouring to find new objectives concerning our properties, that will allow us to impress our guests day after day, season after season.   

And this is of prime importance for the industry.  It seems obvious, but it is difficult to find business with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.  No unpleasant surprises for the guest just fulfilled expectations.  This is what makes a guest come back again, and you really know how to make them dream about their next vacation.  

Please continue the good work, and don’t give up.  Both the guests and hoteliers will thank you for your professional advice, which will be reflected by a long-term relationship.  It is an honour to be one of your preferred partners, and we are sure that this will last for a long time.

"I have heard about Judy & Maria several times & it was a great pleasure when I finally met them in Chicago. Although it was a brief encounter, because we were at a travel fair, it was obvious that they knew exactly what they were looking for! That’s the moment when I understood why Judy & Maria are so famous among travel industry related people; they offer personalized service and reliable information about resorts to a very exclusive clientele!  

A month after our conversation at the fair, they took some time to visit Ocean Blue Punta Cana and I confirmed that they are very focused on a specific market and they inspect every one of the properties they offer to its clients. This is what we call personalized service!!! Since they are working with a very small &“selected” number of hotels, we are really glad to be included in the elite list of resorts they sell and exited about working with such professional and respected travel industry pillars! We are sure that Ocean Blue, with the only bowling alley in the entire Caribbean included in a resort, private Jacuzzi in all rooms, a beautiful gourmet coffee and tea area, the largest wireless Internet connection in the DR and great facilities for meetings and conventions, among other particularities, will be just perfect for your most demanding clients!    

We are really proud to put our hotels in their experienced hands and look forward to strengthen our partnership in the future!"

"One of the most important aspects of Judy & Maria’s is several times a year; these women visit our, all-inclusive destinations to experience firsthand every new detail Riu has to offer. We appreciate their regular trips to our properties because we think they provide Judy & Maria’s with a deep understanding of the charm, amenities and unmatched level of service that make Riu Resorts truly special.

By knowing their product offering first hand, a recommendation by Judy and Maria goes beyond the simple “brochure sale”. Currently, Judy & Maria’s regularly send their clients to our Riu Resorts in Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. As we prepare to open new properties in Puerto Vallarta, Montego Bay, Mazatlan and Costa Rica, we know they will be among the first to visit and promote these exciting new Hotels.

We look forward to a strong and continued partnership with Judy & Maria’s and hopes that they will remain one of our top Riu Partner Club members for many years to come."

The first time I walked into The Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun, I felt the warmth and unique atmosphere the hotel and staff freely offer to all visitors. This is why, Judy and Maria and Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun,are the perfect match, knowledgeable, personalized service with a solely unique hotel and our All Preferred Hotel concept. For many years in my career, I have been aware that Judy and Maria are one of the most professional and committed travel agents in the marketplace. We are very proud of our professional tie as they are a guarantee of quality for our future mutual customers.

 "I have been in the travel industry  for the past 20 years, and have had my share of "top agencies" to work with ....  Most agencies are worried about making sure that their guests have that perfect holiday experience, just as Judy and Maria do...Only, these gals also add a little twist to the way they do business.  They have a personal rapport with their clients, as with their preferred hotels.  The friendship bond that develops is one that is sincere, yet demanding and professional!  These gals are the most in-tune and focused women I have met in the industry - always on top of the last bit of news, and ready to push for a better deal for their clients, and an improved relationship with their partners in travel.  They will fight to the end for the final full satisfaction of their clients.  They will work closely with the hotel to ensure that a good relationship comes to fruition- most of our staff has had personal contact with Judy and Maria, and they realize the full commitment that is expected towards quality in our product.   

In the end, they are "real people" commited to contract the greatest vacation experience possible for other "real people"- and in the end, they deliver!  That is what I think has been the successful drive for them.    

Judy and Maria, it has been a gratifying and growing experience working with and knowing you!   I wish you the best of luck and success in your future challenges!"

Finally we meet again! I have had the privilege to recently welcome Judy and Maria here at our hacienda, the all new THE VALENTIN IMPERIAL MAYA. 

As several professionals have mentioned in previous testimonials, Judy and Maria are being considered as THE leading source of information on Riviera Maya hotels and resorts keeping themselves informed, continually experiencing the resorts first-hand, building and grooming personal relationships with managers and staff and sharing this knowledge in their unique way with our mutual customers.

Obviously their visit has been eagerly awaited here at the resort, as we have been awaiting their thumbs up, to be included in their own private collection of recommended hotels and resorts.  

We look forward to being able to serve our mutual customers and make them feel they have been invited to a friend's exquisite home.

Best regards from sunny Mexico!

It is a great honor for me expressing some words of gratitude for Judy and Maria.

These girls are real passionate in customer satisfaction to detail which turns into a fabulous business - friend relationship with us as we share the same attitude and philosophy.

I joined this industry almost 30 years ago and have been traveling and working around the globe and lately in Mexico and I've never seen so hard working professionals like Judy and Maria.

Thanks to them we have dramatically increase our hotel occupancy which is a must for any business. On the other side we maintain high quality standards and personalized service in all of our restaurants and suites.

 Once again, I find myself without words that adequately express the extraordinary savvy that Judy and Maria bring to the travel industry. Their exceptional ability to understand and match a traveler's expectations with the appropriate products make them the ideal choice for those who want to have an outstanding vacation experience.

I consider Judy and Maria to be my family and their support, advice and friendship, over the years, have made me the person that I am today. We have always worked together as a team and I can comfortably rest assured that their well-informed clients will be the most satisfied at the properties that I am representing. Judy and Maria give you the "real deal" thereby avoiding any disappointment by those involved. "Over promising and under delivering" is never an issue with Judy and Maria's clients, which is reasurring to any traveler and hence their very high percentage of satisfied repeat customers!

I look forward to working with these very special ladies in successfully launching AMResorts' newest luxury brand, "Zöetry", the first of which is called Zoetry Paraiso de la Bonita, in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico and one of only 100 AAA Five Diamond Award properties in the world.
