Our travel agent, George Tsapelas, recommended the Bahia Principe to my family and I for a recent vacation. Mr. Tsapelas' expertise in planning out our vacation was the reason we had such a wonderful time. I will definitely travel with his agency again and I highly recommend him and his knowledge in worldwide resorts. The Bahia Principe in Jamaica surpassed every expectation of ours and we would not have booked there if it it wasn't for CarribBean Escapes' knowledge Great value Great prices Great service

George,
As a new agent for Caribbean Holidays, I expected to be on the usual FAM trip with the average service you get at most of these "all inclusive" destinations. However, I have to admit this was one of my best experiences! You weren't kidding when you said you were going to make things easy for us. When I booked the trip the process was seamless. Once we arriv3ed to RIU you gave me space to enjoy, but always came around to check that things were going well.
Now to the property .... very impressive. The lobby blows you away the moment you walk in.. The staff were on point, and the food and drinks were great! I enjoyed the layout of the pools and the beach, but hope they can repair some of the erosion from the hurricane. Also, it would have been nice to exchange American dollars at the desk. All in all, it didn't dissuade from my experience. I had a fantastic time and look forward to continuing my business with Caribbean Holidays.
The hotel gets an A+ in my book, and I will easily recommend this hotel to my clients. By the way, when can we take our next FAM Trip!
Warmest regards,
Wayne

Subject: Travel Agent Review of Riu Bavaro Palace in Dominican Republic
Hi George,
Wanted to let you know what a fabulous time myself, husband and another couple had in May at the Riu Bavaro Palace in Punta Canta. We happened to have a full ocean view room in the main lobby building on the 3rd floor. Having the elevators made the 3rd floor a true joy with the breathtaking views of the water features, palm trees and that �oh so magical� Caribbean water. The balconies had a clear glass for the protective railing making that view even more easy on the eye. Even with the elevators after the abundance of outstanding food that we consumed, we usually felt compelled to take the stairs. The buffet was the best food I�ve ever had at an all inclusive. It was so good that we wanted to go every night instead of returning to the specialty restaurants. Our favorite specialty restaurant, however, was the Japanese. The Italian and Steakhouse were good also but we were nonetheless unwillingly drawn back to the buffet. The house wines were very good � my particular favorites being the red and the rose�. Pool service at the pool and pool bar was outstanding � plenty of alcohol in the cocktails. Concierge was a miracle worker and always on standby to help in any way they could. The free wifi in the lobby was reliable and conveniently located next to the Cappuccino/Tea/Bakery bar and cocktail bar area. I liked the fact that even though we were part of the enormous Riu complex, our particular area at the Bavaro seemed smaller and more intimate. Walking from the lobby to the beach to the pool to the restaurant was effortless. That being said, if we wanted to �venture� off, we had the guest privileges of going to any of the other 5 resorts. My girlfriend and I took advantage of the Renova Spa by getting a massage and a facial. Their facilities are outstanding as were the services. They have a huge sauna area that is complimentary � gigantic hot tub, dry and steam sauna. You feel like the Queen of the Nile when you use it because no one is ever there � fabulous! The only slightly negative comment would be that it was sort of a shocker to walk in and see all of the contemporary colors and d�r � it was like going to a Manhattan hotel on the Caribbean. It must have been designed with good feng shui, however, because by the end of the trip it had grown on me. There is also a convenient shopping strip of quaint little shops (in the middle of the Riu complex) that were open to negotiating and had reasonably good prices to begin with. Thank you Caribbean Escapes for recommending and handling all of the arrangements for this outstanding property. I will definitely choose it over any of the others when making suggestions to my Punta Cana clients.

I went to Caribbean Escape to book a vacation to Punta Cana - worked with George and Vicky who couldn't have done a better job. The hotel that George recommended, Grand Paradise Bavaro, was exceptional and Vicky made sure all our reservations were taken care of. The room we stayed in was beautiful and very clean with amenities such as a hot tub that made the stay there even more enjoyable!! The staff was so friendly and helpful - couldn't have asked for nicer people - they took care of our every need!! Had many choices each night for dinner ranging from a buffet to a sit down dinner and the food was awesome. As well had many pools and a great beach area - spent the days either lounging in the sun or going for some great spa treatments. If you're looking for a relaxing upscale vacation I would highly recommend George and Vicky - they really took care of every detail for us from the airport transportation to a great stay in a luxury resort.

I would like to send my positive feedback on my vacation since I was back.
I would like to thank your agency for the PERFECT vacation that I had. I'm a good traveler but never experienced a vacation so nice. Your organization was perfect from airport pickup to hotel accommodation. The Catalonia Playa Maroma was great including services, site/location and very good food, and for food as Italian this is a very nice compliment.
We received good support on site from your local agent and from the hotel an upgrade room.
I'll recommend your organization to all my friends, and I'll be back for my next travels.
Thanks so much again, keep in touch.

Good Afternoon George,
Back at work and in my routine and finally have a moment to thank you for my family�s stay at the Riu Bavaro in Punta Cana, DR.
I cannot express strongly enough our complete satisfaction with the Riu Bavaro. Everything was to perfection. Our rooms were spotless with lots of thought to details, excellent housekeeping. The dining areas were spacious, beautifully decorated and the food fresh and scrumptious, with a wide variety of dining choices available. We all absolutely loved the interesting pool which was beachside. What a treat it was to swim with that breathtaking view of the ocean and palm trees.
The staff was attentive throughout our entire stay, ready at our beck and call. We joined in the many activities like the water aerobics, volleyball, kayaking, snorkeling to name a few. We were delighted to watch the cabaret performance under the stars and watch the fire dancers on the beach in the evening. Even the sports bar was a treat with fresh fruit and snacks available 24hrs., pool table and games.
There was something for everyone at the Riu Bavaro and I came back raving about our stay there. It was very sad to leave �Paradise� behind, but we look forward to re visiting with more of our friends in the near future.
Thank you again,
Sincerely
Betty Tourikis

Greetings,
I am a home-based travel agent with my own TRUE number and wanted to find a tour wholesaler/agency that would work with me and my many demands.
I was able to find this with the Caribbean Escape travel staff. Being home-based with no staff, the staff of Caribbean Escape were very helpful with the planning of the entire "Hall Milestone Birthday" trip to Punta Cana DR Aug 4-8, 2011.
We ran into a few small problems while there, but George and Vicky were right on top of all the issues. George even provided his personal cell number to make sure I could reach him with any issues.
Both George and Vicky were very professional in their handling of any issues that arose while on the trip. The group received A1 treatment from the Riu Palace Punta Cana Staff (many thanks to the banquet manager Magnolia and the staff that decorated the rooms of the birthday ladies) and airport transfer company.
I am now planning my next group trip to Aruba May 2012 with George and Vicky and look forward to the same great service.
THANKS AGAIN, VICKY & GEORGE FOR YOUR PROFESSIONALISM....I look forward to continued business with your agency!

Hello George,
We've returned from the Ocean Blue Resort Punta Cana FAM trip . We had a great time and thought as the tour operator you might want our feedback as travel agents:
We were in villa #6, but NOT on the 3rd floor facing the sea as promised. Instead they assigned us to room 6302 on the 2nd floor facing the pool.
The Ocean Blue Resort is beautiful and has a lot of potential: Location & beach is superb, entertainment surprisingly better than Iberostar and Sunscape the Beach. Their house wine was very good and the bartenders actually knew what they were doing. The restuarants were not memorable but the daily champagne & fresh crepe breakfast was an absolutely wonderful touch. With some improvements this property would be an excellent value.
Thank's so much - Will definitely work with you again.
Have a happy Easter,

We have recently returned from a fabulous group vacation to Costa Rica. On our arrival we were welcomed by our travel guide who added interesting history and cultural information through out the trip. The transportation to our resorts were in air condition buses with plenty of comforts; on one commute, we were able to watch a movie on the DVD player. We stayed at 2 excellent resorts; the first was PARADISUS PLAYA CONCHAL Hotel, a 5 star inclusive resort. The food, service and activities available were outstanding and accommodated single, couples and families alike. I would highly recommend this facility. Our second resort stay was at the 5 star ARENAL TABACON GRAND SPA THERMAL RESORT. It required a bus ride to the higher elevations toward the volcano area, you could see the change in the eco system as you rode, which gave you the feeling of being in a jungle as you looked around; every plant was giant size! The hot water falls and pools exceeded my imagination, they were spectacular. Some members of our group took a trip repelling down the mountains through the water falls; something I want to go back and do. This resort was a bit further away from the airport and required a twisting ride to and from, but was worth the trek. Overall, it was one of the most fun vacations I have ever been on. Thanks Caribbean Escape for helping put together this memorable trip!

It was a pleasure speaking with you today George! As I mentioned we hope to be able to book a trip towards the end of the year. Unfortunately with the economy in such a state we are being somewhat cautious.
However, it was my pleasure to be able to recommend your travel expertise to my friend Joe who is looking to travel sometime in July. They were looking into Aruba however I mentioned to him that your agents had provided Robert and I with the best travel advice we�ve ever received. That advice lead us to enjoy 2 luxury vacations in Samana and Punta Cana. The accommodations were fabulous; the food exquisite; and the cost was less than half what we would have paid in Aruba.
I am glad the opportunity has arisen whereby I can recommend your services to others and hope they will have a marvelous vacation as Robert and I did.
Thank you to you and all those who have worked with us.

Vicky and George,
Thank you both for all of the help in arranging the group vacation to the Ocean Blue in Punta Cana. My clients were very impressed with the facilities, the staff, and the food at the Ocean Blue.
They were especially impressed with how they were treated by the Carribbean Escape employees who transported them from and to the airport and checked on them throughout he week.
All in all they thoroughly enjoyed their stay in the Dominican Republic and look forward to returning next year with more people.
Sincerely,

Mr. Tsapelas,
Cynthia and I are back from our very enjoyable 12-day trip to the Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa in Samana, Dominican Republic. Our visit was a nice way to start the New Year.
Generally we were quite pleased with the resort. It had excellent swimming pools, the facilities were clean and well maintained, and the resort staff friendly and helpful.

Dear George! I can not express enough my gratitude to you and your company for providing such an excellent service for my vacation planed with your company. It starts with the price, transportation in Punta Cana and the resort itself. Very impressive, nice to feel to be special when you take the time off to relex and enjoy yourself. Paradisus Punta Cana is a real PARADISE on the island: the decor, landscape, rooms, service, food and entertainment. On the scale from 1 to 10 it is an excellent 10. Thank You Very much for your help and I definitely will be doing business with Caribbean Escape in the future. Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,

Subj: Caribbean Escape Punta Cana Vacation
Date: 3/24/08
From: Carlos@yachtstore.com
Caribbean Escape arranged two vacations for my wife Rafaela and we were introduced to the Dominican Republic. We are travel agents and we take FAM trips and 3 vacations a year not including my yachting trips as the owner of a yacht brokerage firm. This last vacation in March 2008 was 10 nights at the Oceanblue Hotel in Punta Cana. We requested a balcony room overlooking the beach. We were given the ELITE building #10. The room had a balcony overlooking palm trees and the ocean. There was an attractive couch that served as a place to lounge or sit to dine on a table set in front. Room service provided excellent food with very professional waiters. The jacuzzi was an added pleasure in a well appointed bathroom. The pool was very accessible from building 10 as was the beach. The dining rooms had various themes which permitted you to vary the menu. The grounds were well groomed and attractively decorated. I am pleased to recommend George Tsapelas and his travel agency Caribbean Escape who represent superb hotels on all continents.

My father has been to Carabela. He says it is nicer, more restaurants, bars, more choice in general, and the beach is nicer, 900m of water beachfront and is more secluded.

Our Trip to Santo Domingo - JUAN DOLIO - BARCELO CAPELLA RESORT- YOLANDA & EDUARDO OCHOA - SPANISH HERITAGE TOURS-

Hi Steve:
I wish to mention that our trip to Santo Domingo and to the Barcelo Capella Resort was a great
experience. We arrived on March 7th and stayed at the Resort until March 13th (Returned on March 13th).
We had our transfer to the Hotel and back to the Airport without any problem and our stay at the
Resort was wonderful. The Hotel is very nice and clean. The rooms are comfortable . The gardens are very well manicured and
the Personnel at the Hotel treat their guests like Royalty. Service at the Restaurants was really good
and food was fine. They have done a very good job at the beach and it was clean and the
environment was pleasant. We hope that we can come back sometime soon!!!
With my thanks for the good service and best regards,

George,
We had a terrific time in Punta Cana at the Punta Cana Grand dates 3/16/2007 � 3/23/2007.
I am glad we took your recommendation and choose the Punta Cana Grand.
The hotel is well maintained. The room was very spacious and comfortable for me and my 3 teenagers � 19,16,15.
We loved the variety of cultures and countries in this hotel - many Europeans and many Canadians.
The food was great at the buffet and the restaurants. The service was very accommodating.
The beach was lovely and so were the 3 pools.
Your package was organized very well.
Your company did a great job with organizing our vacation.
I didn�t have to worry about the flights, transfers and the hotel. Everything was taken care off.
Thanks again for such a wonderful service.

Hi Vicky,.... just returned Thursday evening. Our trip was Wonderful!!!. The transfers were excellent, hotel's and tours just great. Your contact's in Peru were very, very good.
Machu Pichu and Cusco were wonderful. What an experience to have visited there. If you need me for a reference for anyone who would like to take this trip, I would be glad to give them inside info. (mostly referring to shopping, Machu Piccu, etc.).
Also, for your info, the weight you can carry in Peru on domestic flights is two bags p/p of 23 kilos each...( my husband says roughly 50 lbs per bag.) That was one of my problems, I didn't get the good buys in Machu Pichu because I thought I couldn't carry it on the plane, but when we got to the airport and checked with the flight attendant, she told us we could have brought more. That's what the flight attendant told us anyway. You might want to check on this to be exact. I know that conflicts with what someone told you about 25 lb check in on domestic flights within Peru.
