Beach Bum Vacations

Darren was a wonderful person to have in our corner. He helped plan travels for ourselves and our wedding guests in a way that made it far easier on us (especially given all our wedding planning stressors)! Even as we made changes to the location at the last minute when he'd... Read More already put in a lot of work, he didn't blink an eye and switched gears with us seamlessly. I highly recommend hiring Beach Bum!

We couldn't be happier with our entire experience with Beach Bum Deborah for our destination wedding. She helped secure a competitive rate room block with the hotel and advocated for us throughout the process. She was very responsive and helpful and always had our best... Read More interests in mind! Our guests had great things to say about Deborah and their experience as well! Thank you!!

Mindy at Beach Bum was so helpful in listening to what we were looking for and finding us the perfect vacation at Couples Swept Away in Negril, Jamaica! It was exactly what we were looking for an in our budget! She made the whole vacation process so easy! So grateful for their... Read More expertise and we could not be more excited about planning our next adventure.

Jayne was our beach bum. Prior to talking with her, we had picked out the resort we wanted to go to for our honeymoon on expedia. Jayne ended up getting us a better price than expedia and got us an included honeymoon package. She set up times with the resort for our candlelit... Read More dinner, massage, and other requests prior to getting there. She sent us all the needed paperwork prior to our trip. She made things easy. She helped us every step of the way and answered questions and emails very attentively. We cant wait for our next vacation and wpuld definately use beach bum again.

Beach Bum Carey was such a great help in planning our Honeymoon trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. From the very beginning she listened to our ideas for our ideal trip and offered many suggestions of locations that would work for us. In the end we booked a 6 night stay at Secrets... Read More Puerto Los Cabos Golf and Spa Resort. Leading up to the trip there were tropical storms in the area that could have impacted our travels. Carey was so attentive and proactive and gave us multiple options to change our travels, but in the end it all worked out fine. Working with Beach Bum made traveling easy and less stressful. The package Carey suggested was absolutely perfect for us; we loved having a swim-out room and probably wouldn't have chosen that option on our own. The next time we are planning a trip we will definitely use Beach Bum!

Let me tell you first and foremost this was the absolute most perfect day of my life. We (me and my now husband) contacted Beach Bum Vacation in August 2016 to start planning our destination wedding. We ran across them from google. BEST DECISION EVER. It was no extra cost, they... Read More walked us through anything, Nikki (our Beach Bum) walked us through every, SINGLE, aspect of wedding planning, the honeymoon. She made recommendations that Im SO VERY GLAD we took her up on. We ended up staying at the Hard Rock Hotel in Cancun (Hotel Zone) from August 2 to August 8th. On August 8th we left and went to the Excellence In RIviera Maya for our "honeymoon" portion of our trip. Everything was completely set up for us, we had all our travel arrangements made, and everything was SUPER easy. Nikki was always available by email and would typically get back within 2-3 hours. She even answered me when I was just being a paranoid crazy worry wart! :) She was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and just plain wonderful. After the initial planning phase was over, we were put in contact with a few different people at the Hard Rock to pick our decorations, plan our event thoroughly and discuss any other things we may want. A few minor things happened: for example our cake topper wasnt out and neither was our serving set. But, alot more complicated things ended up perfect. For example: My. now husband, then fiance' surprised me with a friend that I didnt think would be able to come to the wedding. EVERYONE knew. Nikki knew, the hard rock crew knew, my wedding party knew. I didnt know. And no one let it slip. Nikki even had two different spreadsheets of information! One to send to me and the ACTUAL one with my friends information included on it. She went ABOVE and BEYOND. Im so very grateful we ended up with Beach Bum! We will use them again for all our traveling needs.

Beach Bum NIKKI is absolutely amazing to work with! I was a Bride and she handled all of my concerns with care and was very easy going and fun to work with. I told her what I wanted and she recommended the most perfect carribean resort for my destination wedding. All of our... Read More guests enjoyed her as well. I cannot thank her and BBV enough! Highly recommend!!

SCREAMING……LISA with Beach Bums Vacation is AMAZING!!! My first conversation with LISA I felt comfortable like I have always known her. She explained the process of a destination wedding the good, the uneasy, the frustrations, the locations and the hurricanes believe it or... Read More not! LISA is professional and extremely knowledgeable in what she do. She said I’m here to help you! I’m like ok! Every call or email from me, my family or friends were ALL answered, Sometimes several times a day…. even when she was traveling. I felt bad at time when someone would call with questions and I would say call LISA! I know she said she would be available but I had no idea that she was going to be so attentive to the big and small details. It was really put to the test during my honeymoon when our flight was cancelled due to hurricane Irma. I left her a blubbering message she called back within minutes….. Calmly letting me know yes your flight is cancelled, but I have rescheduled you on the next available flight. She had already contacted the resort to get information on extending our stay! All I could do was cry and say THANK YOU!! THANK YOU so much. She was my angel in the states!! Throughout the 10 months I said Thank you!! a lot sometimes thinking thank you wasn’t enough. Hands down LISA with Beach Bums Vacation is the BEST!! She managed a group of 30 plus people who all had millions of questions all needing help with something, from different states most have never been out the country or even had a passport. I so appreciate all of LISA’s help and thoughtfulness. She was truly a blessing throughout the wedding plans during the ups and downs. We had cancellations, flight delays and hurricanes but I wouldn’t have changed one thing. My wedding was beautiful and my guest were happy. I can’t say enough great things about LISA I will be calling her for my next vacation without a doubt. THANK YOU LISA !!!! U TOTALLY ROCK!!!

Carey Driscoll was literally the absolute best. ABSOLUTE BEST. I was the worst bride/planner: terrible at responding, indecisive, picky, etc. But, Carey was so amazing through the whole experience. She did so much research on her end, constantly answered all of my questions... Read More in a very timely manner, and was just sweet to work with. And, she dealt with my mom, who can be a little overbearing/worrisome at times! (Haha!) Carey is extremely organized and competent. I would recommend her to anyone and will use her again in the future. Beach Bum should be proud to have her as an employee.

Lisa at Beach Bum Vacation was incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with. She quickly answered all my questions and there were a lot of them! She was very attentive to our many guests. Lisa helped us find amazing prices on a resort we did not think we could afford and it... Read More ended up being the perfect resort for us and all our guests! If I could do it all over again I would not change a thing and we will definitely be booking all our future vacations with Lisa. She was awesome!!

I used Beach Bum to plan my friend's bach party-- Danialle gave us an excellent resort recommendation and got us an excellent rate. She also made the booking process a breeze--I'm not sure how I would have gotten rooms/payment for 8 people coming from all over without her... Read More help. Highly recommend!

I worked with Mindy from Beach bum and she was fantastic! She asked questions to get a feel for the vibe we wanted in a resort, and came back to us with several options. She was quick to respond, even when on vacation! I plan to use Beach Bum for all future getaways!

Jayne was wonderful and very fast in responding whenever I had a question. We had 20 guests come to our destination wedding at the Grand Palladium Resort and Spa in Lucea, Jamaica. She worked with my wedding coordinator at the venue and made sure our guests were taken care of.... Read More All the guests were very happy with Jayne as well. I would highly recommend her!

Beach Bum Lisa was amazing to work with in planning our Honeymoon! She provided us with a range of great options, giving us lots of detail and reasons we may like each. Then, in leading up to the honeymoon, she provided us with everything we needed and more. We didn't have to... Read More worry about a thing. We LOVED the resort we ended up at and had the best time!

Justin Dunn did an amazing job booking my recent vacation! I went to Montego Bay, Jamaica and stayed at Hyatt Ziva! What an amazing trip! Justin started and finished everything, he was very helpful answering any questions I had! Also great surprises before and after my trip!... Read More Great customer service support all around!!! Wonderful job! The hotel was beautiful, clean, and great views! Transportation and checking into the hotel was a breeze! Best trip ever, no issues at all..... Justin you're the best and will reach out to you for my trip to Paris! Thanks a ton and I would give the company, hotel and whole experience 100 stars!!! Definitely recommend this company and Justin as a great point person!!! Completely satisfied customer Dennis (Devin)

My boyfriend and I stayed at Sanctuary Cap Cana in DR for a week in August. It was amazing. I love that the resort was large, but not crowded. It is meant to be that way. It was so relaxing and the service was great. We loved that we ran into the same couples each days and... Read More became friends. The resort truly provides a intimate setting. Our weather was perfect 87 degrees and sunny every day we were there. This was our second vacation booked through Carey at Beachbumsvacation.com She's fantastic. She seems to always get us a better price, and takes the hassle away from us. Everything is organized and timed perfectly, we literally didn't even have to think. She was a huge part of why our vacation was so relaxing. I highly recommend her. She always sets us up little treats along the trip :) Such a special vacation. I recommend Sanctuary Cap Cana and booking your time away with Carey at [email protected]

Beach Bum Mindy gave us the destination wedding of our dreams! We brought 12 of our closest family and friends to Moon Palace Jamaica. Mindy was there every step of the way - from choosing our resort, getting the best rates, coordinating all of our flights, dealing with the... Read More resort wedding department on my special requests and planning, fighting to get us "extras", making sure everything was perfect, and even taking my frantic call from the airport when we missed our connection on the way home. Mindy was my saving grace and sanity every step of the way. I can truly say I gained a friend, and will never plan another vacation without going through her! Thank you Mindy for helping make our wedding and trip a dream come true!

“Wouldn't go back, and would like some of my mney back for the horrible servece” review For my first vacation, It is sad to say, it was one of the worst experience of my life and a waist of my finances. First of all, me and my sister was placed in a room with one bed; even... Read More though the bed was big enough for two of us, we were also given only enough toilet trees for one person. We spoke about this situation over several occasions and it was never addressed, and even when, if we were given towels they still only gave us enough for one person which caused us to have to share the towel  that would be given to us. Some days we weren't given any towels at all. House keeping sucked. The room was really not clean; bathroom was not cleaned properly, room wasn't swept, trash was let behind, floor wasn't mopped but stayed constantly wet, which I don't know why and caused me to slip constantly, making me want to stay out of the room. There was an issue when we first came in with one of the lights not working, I immediately called room service. I checked into the hotel Aug. 24 and checked out Aug. 27 and these issues where still not addressed, and lets not talk about the restaurant we went to our first night there. was the Mediterranean Cuisine. We were seated and given a menu, ordered appetizers and then everyone proceed to order there dinner. After 4 hours of sitting there, thank God two peoples appetizers came which we all shared and OH MY GOD three other people and I bit into uncooked chicken. Horrible, horrible horrible horrible, I am a licensed cook in Washington D.C and have never experienced anything like this before. Luckily we caught the buffet 15 minutes before it was closed which was at 9:45, diffidently to late for me to eat causing me to have heart burn all night, but I was so hungry. We had to scrape up the last bit of food the buffet  had left. Lets talk about when I was sitting on the beach and noticed two servers walking along  the beach, I called out to them politely for something to drink and they began to debate about whom I were talking to all while laughing. So I told them to forget it but was really upset. You called that diamond service, the money paid was definitely  diamond but as for the serves, I felt like I bought a neckless and it turned. If you are going to recommend me that  hotel I do not believe I will be using this serves again and I feel that I should be accommodated. Miss.

Beach Bum Joanne helped us with the reservations for our friends and family traveling to our dream wedding in Jamaica. She was helpful in coordinating all of the logistics and secured a good room rate so we didn't have to worry. A breeze to work with and I would highly recommend... Read More using Beach Bums to anyone looking to plan a destination wedding!

We worked with Beach Bum Danialle to plan our destination wedding to Punta Cana. Danialle was so helpful and responsive! Having her made this entire process of coordinating with the resort and helping everyone book their travel accommodations so seamless! Upon our arrival at... Read More the resort everything went extremely smooth! We had 4 guests who did not book through Beach Bum and I can say they did not have the same experience as those who did book through Beach Bum. We will definitely use Beach Bum again for our future travels. Thank you so much Danialle! :)

We used Beach Bum Vacation for our destination wedding. Kristin and the team were so helpful and supportive throughout the planning process! We ended up having 40 guests travel to the Dominican Republic and I am so grateful for her organizational skills and responsiveness during... Read More the planning process. She made the logistics of getting all of our loved all in one place for our big day a breeze! She was incredibly knowledgeable about all things travel related, and she anticipated many problems and solved them before I even had a chance to worry!! We will definitely use Beach Bum Vacation for all future international travel and can't wait to return to the Hard Rock Punta Cana soon!

We had the most amazing honeymoon and didn't have a worry at all thanks to this wonderful travel agency for putting everything together! Would definitely recommend!

Beach Bum Melissa made sure we had everything we needed for our trip to Riviera Maya. We were even aware of the tips to avoid soliciting at the airport which was extremely helpful! Definitely recommend using Beach Bum for future vacations.

Becky Simone from Beach Bum Vacations did an outstanding job of planning a 10 day trip for our group. It was one of the best trips we've been on. The Sir Albert Hotel in Amsterdam was so close to everything-museums, trams, restaurants, etc. The Viking Rhine River Boat was the... Read More best cruise I've been on. The staff was amazing. The trip from Basal to Stresa, Italy was so scenic. And finally, the hotel she chose in Stresa, Regina Palace was the most elegant and beautiful luxury hotel I've had the pleasure of staying in. Becky was a wealth of information, detailed and a true pleasure to work with in planning this fabulous trip! I cannot wait to plan another trip with Becky.

We had an amazing Wedding and Honeymoon at Dreams La Romana.  We were made to feel like we were royalty.  We were not expecting a personal butler but we had one and he gave us a cell phone to call him for anything we needed and trust me we did utilize the phone.  Some of our... Read More guests have already stated they plan on returning to the DR and stay at Dreams La Romana in the future.  We upgraded our room after the wedding and it was wonderful. We had a swim out room that was like having our own pool right outside our door.  The entire experience was great and I hope my sons wedding in December will be even better if possible. Thank you Sue for making this all possible!
