Maui Dream Vacation

Aloha Melissa,
We had a wonderful family holiday!! The staff was great, we loved the location, facilities and amenities.

All other activities--scuba, luau, zip-lining, were great fun and a top-notch experience. In spite of the room snafu, the holiday was our family fav! We would even go back to the Kea Lani.

Thanks for all your assistance. We LOVED your "beloved" Maui. It IS a paradise!!

p.s. Please keep us informed of any "deals" for Maui at Wailea!!

Best & Mahalo,

Perfect Maui Condo Vacation

Aloha Melissa,
We had a great time. Our condo was perfect—relatively small, close to the ocean, clean and attractive. Everyone enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We had a visit from a monk seal and lots of whale sightings.

We went to Molokini and Lanai for snorkeling--saw lots of spinning dolphins and whales as well as reef fish. The Old Lahaina luau was lovely—delicious food and strong performances.

I’ll try to get to TripAdvisor to rate accommodations too.

Thanks for your help!

Hawaiian Dream Vacation

Mike!
We are flabbergasted!!!!!! You shocked us earlier today by telling us you'd upgraded us to an Ocean Front Suite (we were just thrilled we'd be in a deluxe ocean view room to begin with), but nothing could have prepared us for these accommodations!!!! Our suite has two bathrooms! It's bigger than our own home! It's beautiful! And we haven't even seen it in daylight!!!! Oh, and did I mention the two giant lanais?????? You are the BEST!!!!!! Thank you so much!

Just a little heads-up.. You may be hearing from the hotel... They didn't seem to get the memo about the breakfast being included, but I'm sure it will get straightened out. I printed out an email your wrote that mentioned it, so they are going to try to track it all down.

Thank youuuuu!

Warmest,

Later that day ...Breakfast issue resolved... We are sooooo happy here in Paradise!!!! We woke up and opened the curtains to find we have been transported to the most beautiful place!!! The ocean is RIGHT outside and beautiful beyond belief, and our two lanais are bigger than our dining room!!!!!

Thank you!!!!

Warmest,
J & D Holcombe

Fiji - New Zealand - Hawaii

Mike, Bula Bula Bula and Aloha!

Mahalo and Denaka for your help on my trip.

I made it back. The only problem was leaving NZ, Fiji and Hawaii.

New Zealand is heaven on earth... Fiji was absolutely magical... Kauai was wonderful..

The best thing you did was be the foil in my lodging selections, and recommend the Fiji sailing "adventure". Without the give-and-take on the lodgings, I would have not found the ones I found, or made the same decisions. Thank you!!!

In NZ, the Auckland Westin was 5 star. Once I realized all the prices were in $Kiwis, and the $Kiwi is half the $Usdollar, I ordered another bottle of Hawkes Bay Pinot Noir and another Pavlova! Auckland was about ten times better than Seattle or San Francisco (our best cities in the US). I could live there in a minute. Great people, city, neighborhoods, golf (Murawai by the beach and Titirangi, a parkland course designed by Alistar McKenzie), sailing, shopping, dining and perfect weather!

Fabulous Fiji Vacation

Hi Faye,

All of your planning and tickets, etc. went very well. We were met by Rosie's and by the others who were supoosed to do so. The Fijians were all so nice we really enjoyed the country. We were very pleased with our choices of the Tui Tai and Moody's Namena. The snorkeling and diving in Fiji were amazing and our only disappointment was the weather.

Unfortunately we had terrible weather ("worst floods in a century") which literally put a dampener on the trip.

On Tui Tai we were 3 of only 6 passengers on a boat holding 22 passengers and with a crew of about 20. We were very well looked after!. The weather meant our snorkeling and diving were severly curtailed. They had planned 4 shore excurions, 3 to villages and one to a waterfall. With a bit of adjustment we were able to do them all and were very glad they were planned. Seeing the villages was a real treat and added a lot to our trip.

The Tui Tai was fine. Not normal weather. The boat felt very seaworthy, even during our night of 6-8 foot seas. The captain was very good.

Moody's was another adventure that we enjoyed. It is a mile long island, holding about 12 guests (we were the only 3), and surrounded by a reef, with at least 24 dive spots. Due to the weather we had only 1/2 hour on the reef. Our accomodations were fine, and simple lifestyle was the correct description. Our bedside reading lamps were powered by solar, and the room lights were gas lamps. The toilets use salt water and the fresh water showers had individual hot wter heaters. They worked fine. All water is catchment but shortages were not a problem to us!
Tom and Joan Moody were very interesting and we enjoyed being there. We would defintely go there again.

We went to Palau last year in early Jan and had rainy weather so next time (maybe next year) we will go later in the year.

All for now,

Hawaii Family Trip

Hi Rukie,
I've been meaning to write, but January was just so busy for us. After coming back from Hawaii we had to find a new nanny in one week and then we were off to Key West for a friends wedding -- an 8 day trip with no travel interruptions. Needless to say we were both behind at work and behind in our personal lives.

I attached a few photos for you. One is of Mohan and me at Santa Monica beach (before we got to Hawaii). The second is of Erin and Anna at the old Lahaina Luau.

Thanks again for all your help. I have the feeling we were probably one of your more 'challenging' clients.
You made our trip relaxing and enjoyable - thank you again.

All the best,

Fantastic Travel Agent

Hi Mike,

This is an excerpt from my recommendation I sent to friends...

"As to our conversation about traveling to Hawaii and other tropical destinations, the following is our travel agent's contact information:

Mike Brown's Email, office phone & cell

Mike is based out of Hawaii and works for McCoy Travel.

My past experience with Mike was phenomenal (this was our trip to Fiji). Mike goes the extra mile to make sure you not only have a great time at your destination, but that your travel to and from are just as great as well.

I would certainly call him when you are ready to schedule so that he could customize something FANTASTIC for you!"

Many Thanks,

Hawaii Weddingmoon

Hi Mike,

1st let me say thank you for all your hard work for putting together our wedding/honeymoon last June 2008. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you & thank you. We stayed at the Prince & the Hyatt & we had the absolute most amazing trip. We couldn't have done it out you & your service. You were so patient we us, as we changed our minds a 1000 times, & asked 1000 questions. You are extremely talented at your job, & will be forever a part of making the best week long memories. Please let the owner know how valuable we think you are.

I just checked out some of your vacation packages for the anniversary date of june 6th of this year. Please keep us in mind if something comes up.

Fiji Dream Honeymoon

Hi Mike,

Well, I've been meaning to do this for a long time and finally have a quiet moment. I decided not to send you a bunch of pictures from our honeymoon since you definitely know what everything looks like. Instead, I'm sending a picture of RJ and me because you don't know what we look like. This was taken at Taveuni before dinner one night.

Anyway, I don't know if I ever formally thanked you for all your help with planning our honeymoon. We really had the absolute dream honeymoon, and I loved that all we had to do was show up. Everything was taken care of for us, and we didn't have to figure out anything. That was soooo nice. You did a wonderful job of arranging and rearranging everything for us. Thank you so much!

Taveuni Island Resort was the best place I have ever stayed - from the privacy to the accommodations to the food and staff - it was perfect. We weren't thrilled with the beach but found plenty other stuff to do. Likuliku was fun too but we really just hung out by the pool the entire time we were there.

I really don't know why so many people refuse to use travel agents in the age of the Internet. You guys are so helpful, and the Internet isn't always cheaper. Plus, for someone like me who hates logistics, you guys are super heroes.

Ok, that's it. I'll definitely be keeping you in my contact list for future island excursions.

Thanks,

Hawaii Vacation

Hello,
Happy New Year to you and your staff. First of all, forgive my late response…coming home from the trip of a lifetime and following it up with Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year is a bit daunting, and believe me—takes up A LOT of your time!

I do want to let you know that the service that Michael Byrne provided us was paramount. He answered every stupid little question I had, and trust me—I had a lot of them. He had us set up with a great hotel—we stayed at the Hyatt in Maui and thought it was just lovely. The absolute only problem was one, little cockroach…but hey, we’re in the tropics and that happens, right? Other than that, I thought I was a queen. The staff there, the food there---all of it—absolutely beautiful. Our plane ride was uneventful…which is the best you can ask for in a plane ride—we even arrived a bit earlier than we were supposed to, so that was great as well.

Michael put us in touch with Brenda LeBrun (to help us reserve activities) —who was absolutely WONDERFUL!! Brenda and I hit it off like two old friends. She is great—and she knew the island inside and out. She recommended and booked awesome things for us to do. We ziplined, went horseback riding, took a road to Hana tour, went snorkeling—just about every great thing you could do on Maui. She booked us with a great snorkeling tour…never in my life did I see so many beautiful fish! Not to mention swimming around with the turtles at turtle-town…that was a real treat, something that will always be remembered! I’m not sure of the tour company that took us through Hana, but our guide…her name was Pu---was absolutely fantastic! She shared so many great facts and stories with as she drove us through the beautiful scenery. We learned so much about the island and the native Hawaiian people from her, it really was so much more than we expected.

I will be sure to log onto TripAdvisor.com and share all my experiences with your staff and suppliers…and believe me, as soon as we can---we will be contacting Michael again and coming back to Hawaii for another visit!

Thank you very much!!

Amazing Tahiti Vacation

Hi Melissa & Faye,

Mat and I had the most amazing time in Bora Bora. The St. Regis was a beautiful place to stay and the food was excellent at all of their restaurants. Although we would have been perfectly content to sun our selves and swim from our bungalow everyday we were amazed by all the culture and natural beauty this island has to offer. We were already planning an anniversary trip by the end of our stay! Faye helped make everything hassle free from travel to our meals and spa visits at our resort. Before we left our travel, meals, and hotel were taken care of providing for a stress-free honeymoon. Thank you for an amazing trip!!

Take care,

Hawaiian Vacation

Aloha to every one at McCoy Travel .....
Our trip did not start out very well (not your fault). Our plane was delayed 9 hours leaving Las Vegas.
Mike Brown, as always, was wonderful. The lady I talked to at your customer service was very kind and helpful. We finally made it to The Grand Hyatt on Kauai. The hotel was absolutely beautiful and all the employees there were beyond fantastic. All and all very one had a wonderful time.

Thank you, especially Mike Brown, for all your help with this trip.

Best Regards,

Thanks once again for making my holiday so memorable.

Australia - New Zealand - Fiji

Hi Faye,

We had a blast...! Everything went really great and the motels were very nice..the train system in Aus is wonderful! No problems. New Zealand was amazing and we loved all our excursions...really loved Queenstown and John bungy jumped which nearly gave me a heart attack! We loved driving in New Zealand down to Milford Sound...very worth the trip...wish we had had more time to explore the wineries in the area, too.

Fiji was not our favorite and we stayed there way too long. The resort was nice but remote so we could not get around well to explore...wish we had booked another Island and more excursions away from the resort. In fact maybe we should have stayed downtown in the harbour/port area as a base and excursions out from there...NO KIDS at the resort John's age and no night life...they must have all been in the port city and off on other Islands. He was bored with me I'm sure but he caught up with his rest and reading.

Overall, we had a blast and really enjoyed ourselves. Aus was great and I loved Newcastle and the small towns we went thru by train.

Thanks again for all your help in securing this trip.
Take Care - Thanks,

Wonderful Hawaii Vacation

Hello Holly,

Happy New Year! We're just back from our wonderful vacation at Mauna Lani Point. We want to thank you very much for your help with our condo and luau reservations. We absolutely loved the Mauna Lani. It was perfect for us. We had a lot of fun at the Fairmont luau (excellent food and entertainment). All logistics were pre-handled and we had no problems at the Point or Fairmont when checking in.
Thanks so much! We will call you in the future - because we are hooked on the Big Island and we will want to get back in the next 12-18 months.
Best,
