Destination: Barbados


Dustin P. of River Falls
Destination: Barbados
Resort: The Crane
Date: September 2008
Planning a honeymoon was a lot harder than I thought. I was trying to do everything by myself. When things were not going well, I was still reluctant to work with a travel agent, figuring that it would be another expense that would take away from the money that was for the trip.
Boy was I mistaken!
Working with Melissa at Travel Leaders was a great help in planning the honeymoon. It took a lot of pressure off and was a great relief for me. Melissa was very eager and excited to help. She has a wealth of knowledge for various places, especially honeymoon locations.
After talking with Melissa about what we wanted and were looking for, she offered up many choices that I was then able to pick from based on our location preference, budget, etc...

Once the locations were narrowed down, Melissa did all of the work. She made all the calls, sent e-mails and worked with the location to get what we were looking for. Since the honeymoon destination was to be a surprise to my wife, Melissa kept all of the details hush hush.

I decided on the beautiful Crane Resort in Barbados as our location. One good reason for picking Barbados over a few other Caribbean islands or Mexico... very little chance of hurricanes!

The Crane Resort is worlds above what we both could have imagined. Pictures do not do justice to the pink sandy beach, beautiful gardens, the view of the ocean from high upon the cliff side.

People on the island of Barbados is what makes the whole trip worthwhile. You will not find a kinder collection of people anywhere.

If you are looking for a beautiful, romantic, wonderful, and overall great place to stay for a honeymoon or vacation, The Crane Resort in Barbados and Barbados itself is it.

There are plenty of activities for the adventurous (snorkeling with turtles, submarine adventure, cave tour, rum factory tour, dinner shows, local fish fry, catamaran cruises, tree top zip lining, and much more) and many great ways to relax as well whether it be on the many beautiful beaches, poolside, or an in-room massage.

Things to do for sure. Oistin's fish fry, Tiami Catamaran Cruises. Zipline canopy tours, Pisces restaurant, and renting a car to drive around.

Our honeymoon would not have been as wonderful as it was without the fantastic help of Melissa at Suntime Travel/Travel Leaders. She will help you every step of the way to make sure that your trip is the best that is can possibly be.
Thank you Melissa for helping us plan a wonderful and romantic honeymoon. We can't wait to book our next trip with you.
