Antigua - Your Space in the Sun!
Interact with the friendly rays
A Caribbean destination I love returning to! Convenient flights, great food, awesome beaches, friendly people and spectacular resorts make this one of my favorite getaways!
While relaxing on the beautiful beaches is the primary activity for visitors, there is a lot of more active pursuits if you're inclined! Watersports include boating and jet ski, paddle board, snorkel, diving, kayaking and swimming with turtles or rays. Land based activities include hiking, biking, ATV, foodie tours, zip line, beach buggies, rainforest, rum tours and pineapple farm visits.
You'll want to try some delicious food in Antigua! Ducana is a sweet and tangy sweet potato dumpling that's wrapped in banana leaf and boiled. The national dish of Antigua is Fungee, which is a cornmeal dish similar to Polenta. Saltfish is cod from local waters, salt cured for 24 hours, then washed and boiled along with peppers, onions and spices. Tamarind Balls are a traditional finger food made from the tamarind fruit along with brown sugar to form a snack sized ball. You'll also want to try the sweet Black Pineapple!
I've been to 14 stunning Antigua resorts, each uniquely designed for enjoying the island. I'd love to help you find the perfect resort destination for your next trip to Antigua! From stunning hilltop cottages with private pool to beachfront on the white powdery sand, and from all-inclusive, to breakfast only; adults only to family resorts, there are lots of options!

Karen is an All-Star Travel Agent
Karen was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very thorough and detail -oriented. She organized our honeymoon to Hawaii and we could not have asked for a better trip. She gave us so many options in the beginning and really listened to our interests and what we were looking for. We knew we wanted a nice relaxing trip to unwind from the wedding, we love the beach but we also love adventure. She suggested Kauai and Maui. We were able to enjoy the beaches, really found some romantic quality time, and we were also able to go on quite a few excursions such as kayaking, snorkeling, and visiting some really remarkable sights. Karen really helped in mapping out our trip and staying within our budget. The hotels and restaurants she suggested were very lovely. This trip was definitely a dream come true. Karen was also extremely helpful when we found out that our flights got cancelled on the way home. She is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!

Karen helped us plan a custom trip to Croatia. She was thoughtful in her suggested itinerary. The hotels were convenienty located, and the restaurants she recommended were phenomenal. She arranged for a local guide in each location as well as our transportation between locations we visited. Her attention to detail was fantastic. We book all of our trips through Karen and trust her completely with our travel plans.

Anniversary Trip to New Zealand
Karen was and is a very pleasant person to work with. At our request she made all of the necessary arrangements for a worry free first time traveler abroad to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Even after a flight cancellation during our travels outbound she responded to our situation quickly and got us back on schedule. Karen has the appropriate Kiwi certifications that gave us the confidence to book our travel experience to New Zealand with her.
