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.
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!
Thanks for the nice card! Happy Holidays to you too. We are always on the lookout for great trips and vacations, and we'll definitely keep you in mind for our next one.
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!!Note: The image here is Annette Rawlings and Melissa McCoy out on a Maui Cruise.

We booked our honeymoon to Tahiti/Moorea/Bora Bora through you all and we had the TIME OF OUR LIVES! Everything was excellent!
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.
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.
McCoy Custom Travel helped us plan our Weddingmoon in 2008! Hiapo was TERRIFIC!!!

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.

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.

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! :)

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.
I have already spoken to AND heard back from Mike via e-mail. He has already far exceeded my customer service expectations. I look forward to doing business with your agency. I sincerely hope we can make something work.
Thanks for running a great organization.
Best regards,

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.

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!!

Sorry I hadn't written yet. Things have been really crazy since we got 
back and have been in the process of moving plus trying to get back to work we have been swamped. Anyhow, I already have sent one person your way and there should be more soon. Lots of people are seeing our pics
and asking questions and want to go. I want to write up a nice thorough review of our trip and the amazing service you and your company provided soon. Thank you again for all the help you provided. We will most certainly be hitting you up the next time we are planning a trip (which we are hoping is soon!).
Have a great day!

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.

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,

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.
We had a great time and can't take you and your team enough! THANK YOU!!

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.
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!)

Lorena ,
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,

Bula Lori,
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!

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.

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!!
