    I have worked with Darla for many years and she has always provided excellent service. We get good fares and excellent service. She thinks creatively - doesn't just settle for the first thing that pops up in her system.

    In fact, when she left the travel business for a while, I was truly at a loss. I'm delighted she is back and helping me to sort out all of the travel needs for our busy College.

    Darla Orchard responded
    "KT it is a pleasure working with you. I am so glad I am back. I truly enjoy working with you and 'our little darlings'!"
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Reviewed By Shelly Nelson - Willmar, Minnesota | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
    Darla arranged a trip for me based on my comment, "I want to go and relax, I do not want to be busy and do other things".

    The resort she recommended was everything she stated it would be. The value of what we paid for the Adult Only, All-Inclusive resort was absolutely amazing.

    I would highly recommend that people talk with Darla and explain to them their wish list and their budget and listen to her recommendations.
    Darla Orchard responded

    Client Wedding in Jamaica
    For our wedding and honeymoon, we decided to stay at Couples Negril in Jamaica. The wedding planning was stress free and easy since we met with the wedding planner when we landed and had options of venues, flowers, music, and cake at the resort. The wedding package was very reasonable and our week long trip at an all-inclusive cost much less than most people spend on their wedding alone. Every night there was a show to watch with dinner, from reggae to fire dancers, along with several restaurant options. The entire staff was beyond friendly and there were many different events to do daily. We went snorkeling, took a catamaran ride, went horseback riding, and still felt like we could have done more if we had stayed longer. We hope to go back to the same resort again someday!

    Client Cancun Honeymoon
    Hey Darla! I’m so sorry it took me so long to get back to you!! We had a blast!! The wedding went perfect and the honeymoon was everything I could have hoped for! I can honestly say I have NO complaints about the resort! It was perfect for what we paid. The room was a little smaller than I thought but again, we got a good deal so it was just fine :) all the restaurants were super good! We really like The Old Barn. (More American type food there). The staff was super awesome and fun! They treated us very well! I liked that we were close to the downtown area of Cancun, we went there exploring a lot. We did the snorkeling excursions on the catamaran boats and over to the Isle Mujeres. It was amazing!! It was an exhausting but fun day. I really have no complaints! It was perfect and I can't thank you enough for helping us out with booking the trip!

    Client Review - Cancun Wedding
    We had a fantastic time in Cancun for our wedding and honeymoon! First of all our travel agent was amazing! Darla was indispensable to us in planning our trip. Cancun was incredible. Our resort staff were very welcoming and accommodating. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful and romantic, and easy for us to plan as the resort did everything. I only wish I could have kept my bouquet, it was gorgeous. The only thing that could have made our trip any better was having another day to stay, we absolutely loved it there! We would highly recommend Darla to help you plan your trip, she knows travel!
