Destination Wedding in Costa Rica

Carol was essential in coordinating our destination wedding in Costa Rica! She assisted in choosing our venue, providing pros and cons of each location. It was extremely helpful that she had actually been to the venue we ended up choosing. Carol was great with communicating with our guests; we had 48 people attending from 5 different states! She coordinated with the resort in Costa Rica to handle our guests' accommodations, and was crucial in connecting me (the busy bride!) with the wedding planning staff. Everything went very smooth, and I would work with Carol again in a heartbeat!

Planned our honeymoon

Carol was honestly the best choice we made while planning our wedding. I did not have to do a thing but pick where we wanted to go. Flights, resort, packages, etc. it was all taken care of ahead of time and it was smooth when we landed. I knew it was more than just a business transaction when we arrived and there was a personal note from Carol and a gift of to enjoy during our stay. Almost no one does that anymore. I was impressed.

Best Agent Ever!

Carol was an absolute pleasure to work with. She really listened to our desires and planned out the perfect vacation for my partner and I. With the chaos of wedding planning, hiring a travel agent took the stress out of our honeymoon planning. Not only is she very detail-oriented, but she kept us in the loop throughout the process. She even saved us money! I will definitely use her for future vacations and I would highly recommend her to anyone else planning their dream vacation!

A Top Notch Travel Service

We have been a customer of Ahwatukee Travel for more than 15 years. I have scheduled several wonderful trips through this company. The service is amazing: fast, consistent and always professional. Carol Rice, Principle, has travel experience greater than any other travel consultant I've worked with. She is able to find exactly what we want, when we want it at a price we are willing to pay. We have NEVER been disappointed!!

We love Carol & Ahwatukee Travel!

We started using Carol and her team for our travel needs 21 years ago and continue to use her today. Carol travels the world and visits properties so that she can provide first hand experiences to help make travel decisions. She has worked so hard to make our travels memorable and special. That you Carol for 21 years, here is to the next 21!

I had the wedding of my dreams in Cancun and I would not have been able to do it without Carol's help! She is very patient, very knowledgeable and she genuinely cared about making sure that we had everything we needed for our trip. We had about ~60 guests for 5 days in Cancun - flying in from all over the US and she worked with everyone in my group (all in different time zones and with different levels of travel experience). I'm so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
