Happy in Hawaii - Loved Honua Kai & Feast at Lele

Hi Melissa.
Thanks for the email, we had a lovely vacation.
The
Honua Kai was GREAT. We were especially happy with the Feast at LeLe... it was exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks for the recommendation.
Loved the snorkeling cruise we did; but next time would opt for a catamaran cruise. Other than that, we had a great trip and wished we could stay alot longer!

We hope to travel with you again.
Happy New Year

Fiji Castaway Island - Best Vacation Ever!


Hello Melissa,
Our trip to Fiji was by far the best experience we have ever had! We will definitely go back next year. Castaway Island was perfect so please tell Mark he picked a good spot for us. Next time we would want a Bure closer to the Ocean, but we were not that far away. The Airline Service made us feel like we were in first class, by far the politest airline. Rosie's Service was excellent too. The only experience I did not like was at the airport lounge where we had to wait for our spa experience for about an hour. And only the adults were included so I let my 10 yr old have mine. They wanted to try a pedicure. Some of it was actually funny. I did not say anything because I did not want to offend them, I was not sure if that was suppose to be like that. Also I wanted a nice glass of wine to end our wonderful trip and they did not have alcohol in the Lounge?? Anyway the good outweighed the bad.

We were also lucky that Mark helped us set up a meal plan. Another couple at the resort was not so lucky. Food was expensive. We were glad we had the 3 meals included. Thank you again for everything and we will talk to you in the New Year. If you have any other resorts or islands you would recommend we would also be interested. It will be hard to top Castaway.

Thank you and Happy New Year.

Pre-Baby Vacation to Kona, Hawaii

Hi Faye!
I hope you are doing well. I just wanted to thank you for putting together our trip to Kona last month. Besides Jason's little mishap, we had a very relaxing pre-baby vacation!

I'm due in three weeks and already thinking of our next romantic get-away! I'm thinking the Greek Islands in July for our wedding anniversary. Have you been? Thoughts? I hear renting a sail boat and going island hopping is the way to go?

Thanks Again,

Fantastic Activity Planning in Hawaii

Hi Annette,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you again for all of your help with our
Maui trip. We followed all of your tips, and we had an amazingly wonderful time. We loved the Maui Adventure Cruise (Lana'i was so beautiful and we ended up seeing 75+ dolphins from the boat). The captain said to tell you "hi." And thanks again for the Quicksilver hook up...it was great!!

The crew was above and beyond friendly. We had a wonderful time at the
Old Lahaina Luau (it was beautiful and romantic just as you described), and we LOVED the Road to Hana and followed your directions to a "t." Tammy from the banana bread stop said "hi" but we never did find Bunny. :-) We love all of the beaches you recommended too. We totally fell in love with Maui and can't wait to go back!!! Thanks again SOO much!"

Thanks again,

Exceptional Tahiti and Maui Vacation Planning

Ia Orana!

My wife and I had a wonderful honeymoon planned through McCoy travel, and Sue Michailidis did a superb job planning our trip to Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. We still talk about it on a monthly basis.

Also, our sister and brother in law loved their trip to
Maui and raved about it for weeks. I couldn't get them to clam up about it. So again, a big thank you to Sue for planning their trip as well. She's terrific!

So down to business: We are ready to go some place tropical from Dec 26th through the 31st or Jan 1st. All inclusive. Look forward to hearing from Sue!

Thank You

Planning a fantastic Kona Village Vacation in Hawaii

Thank you, Melissa for your newsy letter :-)

I forwarded your last note to a friend. He and his wife might be interested in staying at the new condo you wrote about. I also alerted another friend to the fact that you also book
Australia trips. They are planning one in 2012. We have been invited to accompany them but do not know if hubby can stand the long plane ride. Time will tell.

We are truly looking forward to our February
Kona Village vacation that Hiapo is helping us plan and hardly a day goes by that it isn't mentioned. Hiapo's note about his travels was very informative too and I am really excited to be working with McCoy Travel.

Aloha (I'm practicing)

Lovely Qamea Fiji Vacation

Aloha & Bula!,

We could write a book on our wonderful experiences in Qamea, Fiji Islands. The trip was a "heavenly" experience. We have never had such an awesome vacation! The island was gorgeous, the coral reef unbelievable, the people were beautiful, and the resort was out of this world!

Mike did a wonderful job of lining up our travel and connections to give us a vacation of our life. Our travel was seamless and worked like clockwork. We have nothing but praise for Mike and your agency and have recommended you to others many times. We were also very surprised at our "thank you" spa treatment and bottle of champagne from Mike. We felt very special. Thanks, Mike!

The service and attention of the staff at Qamea Resort and Spa was marvelous. They are a beautiful people, so kind and friendly. It really amazed us that they could all call each guest by their first names the minute we arrived and continued throughout our stay. They were the warmest and kindest people we have ever encountered. We were like family while there.

The land and people are unspoiled. The area is VERY RELAXING, but not to the point of boredom. One could be busy as wanted, or as relaxed as wanted. It was a wonderful experience to be in such a pristine land without TV, LOTS of people, and the hustle and bustle of the busy city life. We would recommend for all to take a trip to Qamea Resort and Spa.

On our trip to the village and school, we discovered warm and accepting people. The children were beautiful and so polite. We soon realized that the school was in need. Although we took notebooks and pencils, we found that there was a lack of books. Others took school supplies too. I would like for you to advise your clients that if they are so inclined and would like to share with the children, books suitable for K-6th graders would sure be appreciated to begin a small library that was lost in a recent hurricane. Travelers need to know that there is a need and appreciation by the people who visit. I have made it my campaign to get the children a nice library and books in their homes too. Thank you.

Joyful Hawaii Client says planning was "flawless"

McCoy Travel Family,
We wanted to drop you guys a line since returning
from our adventure to the Hawaiian Islands. We want to thank you so much Hiapo for putting the trip together for us. My wife and I had to put off our honeymoon 10 years ago due to family and financial limitations. Patience is a virtue and this trip met those expectations and more. We spent the first two nights in Oahu at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in the Rainbow Tower overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Pearl Harbor was a very moving experience and we enjoyed the step back in history. The city tour allowed for us to get a better grasp of the Hawaiian History prior to islands becoming a state. We spent the remaining time on the island of Kauai. It was so beautiful with the tourquios water and mountainous landscape. We stayed at the Sheraton on Poipu Beach. We spent our days taking a helicopter tour of the island, a boat tour of the Napali Coast, multiple snorkling trips and a luau at Smith's. It was a great time and we will never forget our gettaway . We have already had some friends ask about the trip and they have expressed desires to make the trip as well. We plan on sending them your way. You guys have got it down to a fine art with a flawless system. Thanks again for all that you guys did for us.

Hope to stay in touch.

Incredible Oahu Vacation

Lori,

We are settled in and back to work.....sigh!!!!
Oahu - Hawaii was beautiful! The hotel was great! It was clean, staff was nice, the adult only pool had us at hello!!!! LOL The flags on the back of the pool chairs to get service was a cool idea.....the waitress were super fast and efficient too! We loved the bar "Rum Fire" ...it was the happening place to dance under the stars!

We asked the locals about food and went to Duke's steakhouse ----OMG AMAZING--- we all agreed it was the best steaks we have ever had! Then we went to the "Shore Bird" for a fun night of grilling and singing - great memories!

The catamaran was awesome! We hiked diamond head which was breath-taking. Did some snorkeling at turtle cove and sharks head after we toured the island and shops on the north shore in our super cheap SUV you recommended!
Pear Harbor ....well still brings tears to my eyes.... it was a very moving experience for me as my dad was deployed from there 3 days after the bombing and sent to Okinawa where he received his purple heart. We meet 4 WWII vets which was just too cool for us! Got our pics taken with them and helped them place their lei's on the memorial!!!
All the food in the hotel was great and the breakfast deal was just that, a great deal! Food was really good!
The
luau was great, food was good! Transportation not so much, but Overall things were great!

Flights were long but ok.....we all agreed first class the next time for more space. Being greeted with our names and a staff member right after getting off the plane made things MUCH easier for us! We do plan on returning some time ....all the locals recommended we try
Maui next time....so why not!
Thanks so much and we did get your message....we had a meeting with the sun that day!

Mahalo to you and your staff!!!!

Fantastic Maui Vacation

Aloha Lori and Mahalo for arranging such a wonderful trip for us!

We had a fabulous vacation on Maui! It was really hard to leave, and even harder to arrive home to the daily grind. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time), we are going to need something closer to 2 weeks to really bask in the relaxing pace of it all. Here are some of our thoughts on the places, and please be sure to let us know if you have questions:

Honua Kai - was a beautiful place - spacious, comfortable rooms, huge lanai, nice facilities, lovely grounds, good restaurant. The kitchen could use a bit of shelving for food as the dishes took up all the cupboard space.

Kea Lani - What can I say? It's the Kea Lani. We love it. Absolutely love it. Beautiful rooms, grounds, pools, beach. Impeccable and friendly service. Fantastic breakfast buffet. No wonder we keep going back. We loved them when they put us in that Villa four years ago, but we also love their regular suite! :) We love almost everything about the Kea Lani. The ONLY downside is that they no longer have a reasonably priced restaurant to have dinner with your kids.

The beaches at Wailea and Makena are sooooo great, and they were much more accessible to our children than Kaanapali. I was surprised by this, as I vacationed for years on Kaanapali with my own parents and siblings when I was growing up. I remember playing in the ocean all day, every day. But the ocean in front of Honua Kai was too rough for our kids the first few days, and was too immediately deep for them to play in safely. There's no sand shelf. The Wailea beaches have that (a soft, sandy, gradual bottom), plus the snorkeling, so our kids were able to boogie board, body surf, and snorkel all day. We saw a huge (probably 5 ft) sea turtle down there - totally awesome!

We had fantastic meals throughout the trip, did part of the Hana Highway, went to Haleakala, and just all around enjoyed ourselves. I really can't wait to go back. We were sorry not to get to see you and give you a squeeze. Next time, okay? If you have any questions about any of my comments, please feel free to call me. Thanks again Lori, we had a fantastic time! :)

Incredible Fiji Vacation

Bula,

We had an amazing holiday at Castaway Island in Fiji. Thanks to
Lori for being really helpful in getting our transfers and hotel planned. The staff at Castaway is truly unique...in all of my travels around the world I have never encountered such a friendly staff anywhere. We only spoke to Lori a few times but she was able to answer all of our questions and get back to us with answers she did not know. Everytime we called she answered her phone...no voicemail and no sitting on hold. It was a nice feeling to know that when we called we were able to talk to Lori.
Keep up the great work Lori!!!

Fiji & Hawaii Luxury Travels

Aloha Faye,

The trip was excellent, thank you very much. Namale was almost perfect with super nice people, excellent facilities and service. They really went out of their way for our anniversary dinner with music, cake and room decorations. I told Anna, they probably have never seen people who stayed together for 35 years. We have broken the Namale record (it was 30th anniversary before). The diving was badly affected by the weather but I did get certified, so I am happy. The villa was excellent.

Hawaii was very good. Four Seasons is Four Seasons - always the same and always good. We found ourselves talking about Namale all the time which tells you how much we appreciated it. The golfing was very good and lava boat even better.

As for your services, no complains whatsoever. I am very happy and will mention you on TripAdvisor. You do not have to change anything.

I hope your NZ trip was equally good. Thanks again for your help and we are looking forward to using your services again. I promise I will share you with others against my common sense.

Incredible Kid Friendly Hawaii Vacation

Hey Melissa & Hiapo,

Thanks so much for checking in. We had a wonderful time. Our son got to practice snorkeling with the boogie board that had a face hole in it - he could float on the board and use his snorkel to watch the giant turtles, He loved it! He also liked the fire dancer at the luau.

Thanks again- we had a great time!!

Happy Hawaii Travel Reviews

Hey Melissa,

I'll start off by saying that everything was how we imagined it. Hotels were accommodating and exceeded our expectations. Which reminds me, thank you for the gift basket. Our favorite experience had to be the zodiac tour of the Na Pali coastline. Food and scenery was awesome.
Hiapo gave great advice on which island to spend the most time on. We definitely needed more time in Maui then Kauai.

Thanks for all your help.

Aloha Travels

Hi Mike,

Great to talk to you this afternoon, I was way out in the "gunnels" of garages cleaning and putting away summer furniture etc.... winter is approaching quickly. I had a couple of more thoughts after we spoke. First, thank you for your great news letter the other day always fun to read what is going on in the islands, as we have spent alot of time there.

Thank you for all your help we have been telling our friends what a find you all are, it is certainly a niche that is needed in the travel business. Also, thank you for the heads up on "Aloha wear" I can tell this is going to be a very relaxing holiday.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Kauai Vacation of our Lives

Hi Hiapo and Annette,

We just wanted to send you a note to thank you for helping us plan what was the best vacation of our lives! The service that the both of you provided was top notch and we truly thank you for making our honeymoon so special.

Hiapo, the hotel accommodations were amazing! I have to say, the St. Regis in Kauai is unlike any hotel we've ever stayed at. Thank you so much for helping us change our car rental to a convertible. Cruising around on the beautiful islands of Hawaii with the top down was awesome. And of course we really appreciate the bubbly that was dropped off in our hotel rooms on both Kauai and Maui.

Annette, thank you for providing the detailed information on the road to Hana. We stopped at the banana bread hut on the Keanae Peninsula. It was absolutely delicious! The activities we booked through you were so much fun. We enjoyed the surf lessons and snorkel trip to Molokini especially. We liked surfing so much, we booked them again before we left Maui.

We have been back to work for two weeks now and it's only 50 degrees here in NY. Luckily we took many photographs in Hawaii to remember the awesome time.

Thanks to you both again. We of course will mention your names to our friends who will be going to Hawaii in the upcoming months/years.

We couldn't of had a better experience in Hawaii. Our accommodations and excursions were perfect. Annette and Hiapo made our trips just-- AWESOME! We had such a good time, I suggested two of my co-workers to reach out to McCoy travel. Hiapo is already speaking to one of them.

Lovely Warwick Fiji

Bula Mike & Melissa,
David and I had a wonderful time in Fiji and
loved the Warwick Resort. It was beautiful and the Fijian people were awesome. In fact the people really made our trip. Thank you Mike for all your hard work and the suggestions you provided as I know I was a challenge. Our experience on Air Pacific was good and they were able to put us in the upper deck which was really nice because we were able to lay down and was really good for Dave as he has a hard time sleeping on airplanes. We would definitely fly AP again.

Again the Fijian people were wonderful, happy, gracious and had a great since of humor.
Rosie's service was also very good and the driver that took us to the hotel provided us all this historical information about Fiji and was very interesting. We had a great time on the two island trips. The side trips really gave you the Fijian culture and the entertainment was great especially on the Robinson Crusoe Island. Thanks again and we will recommend your services to our family and friends.

Vinaka and Cheers~

Fiji Surprise Honeymoon

Hi Hiapo,

I just wanted to send you an email after our first day here. So far the trip has been beyond amazing, more than I could have expected. I did not tell Tara any of the details of the trip, so the first class airline trip over, the honeymoon bure once we got here, etc. She has been totally amazed so far, this was exactly what she wanted for her honeymoon. I was surprised with the level of service from the staff here. Everyone we meet introduces themselves to us and wants to know how they can make our stay here more pleasurable. This was an unexpected surprise to me.

Thanks again,

D. Murany

Beautiful Fiji - Taveuni Palms Vacation

Hi Faye,

I know you are on vacation but thought I would send a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Taveuni Palms. Unfortunately, Kelly and Tony were not there but on vacation, however Derek took great care of us. Andrew and I both commented that we felt it was the best vacation we have had. Fell in love with Jimbo and the rest of the staff and absolutely LOVED Taveuni. The only problem was that we did not get to stay enough nights and are planning to go back (as soon as we can) and for more nights. I really didn't know if it would live up to my expectations after reading your e-mail and the comments on Trip Advisor about what a wonderful place it was, but it surpassed all of my expectations. Thank you again for all your hard work in making this work for us as it really was exceptional.

Have a wonderful time in a New Zealand. I will be in touch soon - as soon as we can figure out when we might be able to get over there again (and this time, I will book it far in advance!)

"Wow! Taveuni Palms not only met, but exceeded all of our expectations. After reading most of the previous posts on Trip Advisor, I will admit my expectations were pretty high, but still had doubts on whether I might be a little disappointed. I can say that we were not disappointed in the least – what a vacation!

After a long flight we arrived and were met by Babbu and Derek (filling in for owners Kelly and Tony while they took a much deserved vacation) and dropped off at Coconut Grove for breakfast while they finished getting the lower villa ready for us. An hour later, we were whisked to the resort, greeted with lei’s, bula drinks and the staff welcoming us with their beautiful Fijian singing. It was overwhelming to say the least.

We were shown to our villa and could not have been happier. The location is spectacular and we immediately felt ourselves relax and melt into the day. Jimbo (Kelly and Tony’s lab) came up to greet us and we knew it was the start of a great trip.

I am the type of person that has to plan everything out and we immediately went down to see Anna to schedule the activities for the week. Anna was so kind and just smiled at us and took notes, letting me know they would get back to us. Teila came to meet with us regarding our dinner selections and our activity choices. Teila is one of a kind – she listened to what we wanted to do and then smiled and gently suggested that we switch some things around as some of the excursions we wanted to do fell on the weekend or holiday and would be much more crowded (crowded for Taveuni that is) than if we went on a different day. She was so right – we were the only people at Bouma Falls when we went, and only saw 4 other tourists during the Lavena Kayak/Coastal Walk.

We went out snorkeling with John (boat owner/captain) and Johnny (staff snorkeling guide). John knows all the best places to go, as previous posts have indicated. The coral and fish colors were absolutely amazing. Additionally, we did the south island tour one day and visited the waterslide – we had so much fun. The local village kids showed up, so we actually got to see them “surf” the waterslide – it was amazing. Unfortunately, we never made it out on the resort sea kayaks, but plan on getting to that on a return trip – yes, we have already booked a return visit and are counting the days.

The meals were delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The staff is so amazing – they are all so friendly and are always smiling. We, too, were invited to Sia’s village for the lovo. It was such a great experience, something we felt everyone should do if presented with the opportunity – it really makes you think about what is important in life. Fijians are the nicest people we have ever met. As we say, we arrived as guests but we left as family.

And finally, we usually book our travel plans ourselves, but this time we used
Faye Bartlett at McCoy Travel. It was such a pleasant experience to work with Faye. The flight was pretty full by the time we were booking and she was able to work her magic and get some seats released so we were able to purchase the tickets we wanted. On top of that, she saved me more money than if I would have booked the trip myself.All in all, the best vacation we have had to date and well worth the money.

Grand Hyatt Kauai Vacation

Thanks again for your great help in booking such a WONDERFUL vacation! The Grand Hyatt in Poipu was very kind to us, providing a partial-ocean view that also overlooks the courtyard. The amenities included were fantastic, including a complimentary bottle of champagne and a day-long cabana rental by the beach free of charge. After visiting the north shore for snorkeling and the east coast for plenty of shopping, we definitely made the right choice by staying in Poipu at the Grand Hyatt. You got us a fantastic deal, and the whole trip went without a hitch. Our only regret, as I'm sure is common, is that we didn't book it for long enough!

All the best, and should we return to the islands, I'll be sure to give you a call!

Best,

Fabulous Fiji Vacation

We will for sure be asking for your expertise when we go to Fiji again as a family. In the meantime any places we should be keeping our eye on? Someone said there is a great family resort on the other side of Likuliku?

Did Tracy mention they now refer to us as the responsible parents after we jumped off the 45 foot waterfall at the end of the Lavena Coastal Walk? I attached a picture of me jumping. We also missed our flight from Nadi to Taveuni and flew in on the cargo plane. It was amazing and we were so glad it happened. Just us and 2 pilots in a tiny plane. Such amazing views. Daily volleyball was also a highlight and we decided to do the resort scuba with Jamie and are hooked! We will be scuba certified when we go back. And of course we miss sitting nightly with the Band Boys drinking Kava. We are both suffering from severe post paradise depression. I told Tracy to let us know if they ever have a job opening as we will sell everything and move to Taveuni in a heartbeat!

Le Taha'a Fiji Vacation

The travels arrangements Hiapo made for us were perfect. As for Le Taha'a, the accommodations and the food were amazing. We couldn't get a massage appointment during the last four days we were there so your guests might want to plan those in advance. The local folks were all great and totally accommodating.

Thanks,

Beqa Lagoon Diving Vacation

Bula! Vinaka! To Lori and McCoy Travel.

We had an exceptionally problem-free vacation, for both the Beqa Resort and the Sydney portions of our trip.

The flights, on both Air Pacific and Pacific Blue (aka Virgin Pacific or whatever name they're going with), were wonderful. They give one much more leg room and friendlier ground and flight crews than standard U.S. carriers.

The food and diving experiences at the Beqa Resort were very good. The diving itself was the highlight of the trip, seeing lots of new fish and corals.

I should note that virtually all of our dive group used the massage services available at the spa at Beqa Lagoon, even some of the men who'd never submitted to a massage before. ALL of the masseuses were EXCELLENT! Some of the best massages that any of us had ever experienced.

I cannot think of any improvement on your end. Lori did a wonderful job of advising and organizing our trip, especially given all the curveballs of variation we threw at her. Her tips were on point and very helpful.

Thank you both.

Beqa Lagoon Diving Vacation

Hi Lori,

I can tell you right away that my experience was exceptional! The travel to and from Beqa Lagoon was without a hitch, and the information you provided regarding the duty-free being open early in the morning upon arrival was correct, in spite of the doubts of some of my co-travelers.

From my perspective, the Fijians at the Beqa Lagoon Resort did an amazing job of making us all feel welcome, comfortable and safe. I thought the diving was very good, the dive crew outstanding, and most of the sites they chose were pretty good, if not excellent. Plus, I'm glad I opted for the shark dive. It was incredible! Next time, though, I'd be sure to turn around during the first dive because sharks were cruising by us, and some of my fellow divers neglected to point it out. Otherwise, I would have seen even more sharks! I can definitely recommend it.

The other thing that really stood out for me was the food. It was like dining in a 5-star restaurant! And your suggestion to always order the dessert was spot on. I was extremely pleased with the food. And it was such a nice touch that the wait staff learned each of our names quickly and always used them when addressing us. Very cool and special!

Of course, the people I went with, Fabio's Fabulous Dive Buddies, made the trip very fun. For a group of 11 people from varying backgrounds I was pleasantly surprised at the chemistry between us all.

The only wrinkle in the trip was that my camera was stolen at the resort. I have my suspicion who it was (another guest), but no confirmation. I felt my belongings were safe there, and never expected something like that to happen, but there are always dishonest people everywhere you go. In spite of what happened, I didn't let it ruin my vacation. And others took enough photos for all of us, so I've got plenty to show my family and friends here in Portland.

Regarding spreading the word, I've been talking up Fiji quite a bit and told several folks that I booked through your agency. When I get a minute, I'll get on TripAdvisor and comment there, too.

I'm sure I'll be in touch because I'd like to visit Hawaii this winter.

Fabulous Tahiti Vacation

Hi Faye,

I just wanted to thank you for all your help with my 3rd anniversary wedding trip to Bora Bora. The Four Seasons and St. Regis hospitality was beyond my expectations!

The rooms at St. Regis we decorated nicer, more comfortable beds, and substantially larger than the Four Seasons. However, the food, spa, and overall "vibe" of the Four Seasons, my husband and I thought, was better. The spa was world class! We had a 3-hour couple massage that ended with a mineral bath for two!!

Thanks for mentioning our "VIP" status with you, I really appreciate it and look forward to working with you in the future.

Thank you thank you!!
