St. Lucia Honeymoon

The Sandals in St. Lucia was the we have ever had! We told Emily what we we’re looking for and she made it happen. From here on out we will be scheduling our all trips with Going Places. We we’re so nervous planning our honeymoon by ourselves online. Keri and Emily we’re great and made our experience so much better especially since our flights were cancelled the day before we left. Emily was in the Bahamas and still helped us find another flight hours before are trip. This really made us feel like these ladies were really dedicated to making this trip happen for us. Especially since we had to reschedule the first trip. Emily answered all of our annoying questions and responded very quickly through email and text messaging. Thank you ladies so much again for everything and your recommendations, we had the best time. I highly recommend.

Best Vacations!

Love booking vacations with Going Places! This is the second vacation that we have booked and Effie has always been amazing. We originally planned a honeymoon in Jamaica but due to COVID-19 we had to receive a refund and rebook. The process was long but it was refreshing when everything was all done. We were able to book our honeymoon to Jamaica for October with no problems.

Our travel agent was Katherine. She was very knowledgeable about the resorts and places we were interested in. She provided us with traveling advice and made us aware of the best excursions to take. She was always ready and willing to answer any of questions throughout the planning process. We will definitely use her again for our future travels.

Will steal your money

This is a doozie, in summary they are a waste of time and theft of money.
We used Going Places for my Honeymoon to Jamaica.

The biggest issue is I'm still waiting 2 months now for a refund of over $1,000 for an error on their part. In December we booked a trip to Sandals Jamaica for 6 of our family members. 3 of us wanted to take the Open Water dive class, and had Going Places Inc add it to our reservation. We never realized until at the dive shop that they booked us for Advanced open water. So we had to pay AGAIN for the Open Water Dive. "7-10 business day's" was the quote of my refund. Again..... this was December and as of February 7th I am still missing my money.

Moving on from the loss of $1,000 they had little to no planning or communication. No encouragement or recommendation to get Global Entry or TSA Pre-check. You would think travel experts would know about Club Mombay for Jamaica. Nope, just go and suffer through customs. Why bother paying for a Travel Agent to take care of everything, if everything has to be a hassle to get worked out.

Southwest dropped the ball on our flights like most of the country. We couldn't even talk directly to Southwest to fix the issue because Taking Places had to. That was fixed, but not timely.

So again, why pay for Going Places when I have to do everything anyway. Such a rip off, and literal theft of my $1,000. I will never be back and will actively turn people away from using them.

Sincerely, a very dissatisfied customer.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
