Trip Request: All-Inclusive Resort

In order to perform the professional services required to design and arrange your travel request, a planning fee is required after the complimentary consultation.

Vacation planning involves a great deal of time and our work is based on years of personal experience and professional expertise. We research destinations, tours, and activities to meet your specific needs, contact suppliers, coordinate transportation, draft itineraries and more. We provide our clients with peace of mind and tremendous time savings.

The planning fee is non-refundable and non-transferable.

Getting Started...

1 - Complete the form below (computer or tablet is preferable to a phone) as thoroughly as possible to make the best use of your complimentary consultation. Your personal fees will be estimated at the time of your consultation.

2 - Submit the form and review the Fee Schedule below.

**For CID/MLI/DSM or other regional airport travelers - If you have not looked at possible trip costs yet for your Airfare & Accommodations - most entry level options will begin at $2k per adult/child for a room/air package of 5-7 nights. These entry level prices are typical of air/resort travel packages. If your budget is under this, it is unlikely that we can assist you for this trip.**

👥 Your Travel Party

Please mark any of the following statements, applicable to ANY guest in your room or traveling party.

MINIMUM: You must provide legal passport/ID names (First/Last) and birthdates for each traveler.

If you don't have passports, use the legal first/last name that will be on your passport application.

I know some questions are personal, but we need to establish if there are benefits, restrictions of travel or supportive environments that will be needed.

"TRAVELER DETAILS" below are for the primary traveler at this time. You will then "add" more travelers after you enter your personal information.

Before moving on, please make sure you have listed all "Travelers" above that you will share accommodations with.

At the minimum, you must provide legal passport/ID of the first/last names and birthdates.

🏨 Resort Preferences

What is most important to you for this trip?

Bedding Preference and/or Multiple Room Requests.

Occupancy rules and ages are very important for all-inclusive resorts. Passports will be checked and recorded at check in, so accuracy is critical when we start to look at options. Number of people and the ages of children in each room must be included.

Example: 2 adults (44, 42) and 3 children (17, 15, 13). Room 1 - request a king for parents, Room 2 - request doubles with a sofa bed for the kids.

*** If you want GUARANTEED connecting rooms or need multiple bedroom options, you will have very limited options. Booking early is of utmost importance***

Many rooms are limited to 2 adults and many children age 12+ are considered "adult" when looking at occupancy rules. If you are a family of 4 or 5+, you will fall into this category quickly.

🌎 Desired Itinerary Location(s)

This information is vital to selecting the optimal environment and vibe for your travels.

Many times people find that they are actually more interested in finding the "perfect resort" and the destination they had in mind likely doesn't offer that specific resort experience they are seeking. This is very true for all-inclusive travel, the resort is your destination.

If your most important aspect of this trip is finding that "perfect resort" please indicate here that you are "Open to Locations" so we can consider the overall experience that you are seeking.

Popular Locations For All-Inclusive	Very Limited Or No Options For All-Inclusive (if these locations have any all-inclusive they are typically not recommended)

💵 Budget & Payments

What is your total budget for this trip?

Budgeting is the most difficult, sensitive and important element of vacation planning.

We are here to help find the best vacation option for your travel budget; this makes it essential that we are upfront and on the same page when discussing options and realities.

Rates will vary by the dates you choose to travel and the dates you choose to book your travels.

Traveling Person acts solely as a booking agent for disclosed principal Suppliers and is not the source or provider of any travel service. Each Supplier is an independent entity with its own management and is not subject to the control of Traveling Person. For this reason, you will see all pricing as BUNDLED RATES and not broken out by component, a la carte style. Our partners do not provide component pricing to protect their contracts, therefore Traveling Person is not able to provide /disclose component pricing. When you hire Traveling Person, you agree and understand that you will receive all pricing as a "package rate.”
