Villa Vacation
My family and I have been staying in villas in the Caribbean for the past several years, and it's by far, our favorite type of vacation.  To be able to wake up in an expansive villa where everyone can spread out and not be on top of each other, not to mention not having to hunt for a lounger by the pool, is one of th...

Sunrise at Haleakala, Maui
I first fell in love with Hawaii on my honeymoon, more than 28 years ago. The highlight of our trip to Maui was watching the sunrise from the summit of Haleakala crater at an elevation of 10,023 ft.!  It was so cold at that elevation but once the sun started to rise above the clouds, it was a surreal experience....

    30th Birthday Celebration
    Reviewed By Jillian - Hazlet Twp, NJ | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
    Working with Cathy to plan my 30th Birthday in Mexico was seamless and perfect. She matched all the details I asked for and kept in touch with me as the trip approached. I never worked with a travel agent before, but Cathy made myself and my boyfriend feel confident and comfortable with the choice of resorts and logistics for the trip. I beyond loved the El Dorado Royale for its grounds, pleasant staff and especially the food (so many gluten free option). The second we arrived to the resort we were greeted with grace and all accommodations were above and beyond what we expected.
    Cathy Jackson responded
    "Thank you for your feedback, Jillian. I'm so happy you loved the El Dorado Royale! It's one of my favorite resorts. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to planning your next trip."
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Honeymoon in Moorea and Bora Bora
    We used a Google search to find a travel agent to help us with our honeymoon planning. Once we started telling Cathy about what we wanted, she was on it. She was super helpful in her knowledge of French Polynesia. She recommended resorts that were perfect for us. To say Cathy was helpful is an understatement. She went above and beyond in helping us with the planning of our honeymoon. We set a budget and Cathy was extremely helpful in making us able to hit our goal. Her suggestions about the rooms to stay in at each resort were perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing. She was so fast with her responses! Sometimes we would email late at night, or on the weekend, when we had a question, and not expect a response until at least the next day, and we were super excited when she got back to us in minutes in most cases! Cathy gave us a list of tips and helped pick some excursions, and fit it all in our budget. If anyone needs a travel agent, Cathy Jackson gets our highest recommendation!

    Trip to Jamaica
    Cathy is an absolute pleasure to deal with and takes great lengths to keep me happy! I will definitely never use an online site to book a trip ever again as the service she provides is incomparable! Cathy planned two vacations for me and I will never use an online site again. The service is a complete pleasure and to use a professional like Cathy made my vacation planning such a great experience. I had a small issue when I went on vacation and with her in my corner, I had nothing to worry about!!! Thank you all for a great service that I will continue to use in the future!

    Amazing Anniversary Trip to Antigua
    I am extremely satisfied with the service and dedication that Cathy at Sunsational Vacations has provided. I have had the wonderful experience of dealing with Cathy several times now and have always had a great experience. Cathy provided me with recommendations, referrals, reviews and personal opinions as to places to visit that met my needs and desires. She took care of everything from start to finish including making dinner reservations and spa appointments prior to my arrival. She was very attentive to my reservation, kept my updated and informed all the way up to departure. I have and will continue to recommend Cathy.

    Our honeymoon in Tahiti was perfect!
    My husband and I wanted to go to Bora Bora on our honeymoon, but we were afraid it might have been out of our budget. We contacted Cathy at Sunsational Vacations and she suggested we split up the trip, going to Moorea first (3 nights) and then Bora Bora (4 nights). In Moorea, she recommended getting a garden pool bungalow to save money. She explained why it's better to have an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora. We splurged on that and it was AMAZING! We appreciated seeing two islands and comparing the two. We were glad we got to go to our 1st choice honeymoon destination without breaking the bank (it wasn’t cheap, but we did save a lot based on Cathy’s recommendations). Both hotels were great, everyone was nice and catered to us like we were royalty. Thank you, Cathy for all your recommendations. Our honeymoon was perfect; better than we could have ever imagined!
