Now's the Time to Plan Your Fall/Winter 2024 and Spring/Summer 2025 Vacations and Special Events

     

     Our exclusive Travel Advisor's portals and direct communication with the decision-makers at hotels, resorts, cruise lines and villas with whom we have worked for almost half a century avail Coyaba Travel to a continuous flow of special promotions targeted at travel for the fall and beyond.   

 

     There has never been a better time to book that couples getaway, family reunion, vacation with friends, destination wedding or honeymoon.  Take advantage of lower airfares and make your travel plans now.  Coyaba Travel's skilled negotiators have access to discounts and value-added incentives/amenities/services available solely through Travel Advisors (that would be us!). 

     

     To ensure that our clients have the best possible experience, we routinely visit the destinations, accommodations, and services we recommend.  The various components included in our exclusive, small group excursions are tried and true - we've done them, ourselves!  

 

     Check back with us for complete details regarding upcoming group trips to the Adirondacks (New York State), Alaska, Cozumel, New Orleans, Barbados, Greece and more.  Or better yet, sign up to be among the first to receive details from us when we announce these special escorted group excursions.  We keep the group size to a minimum so space is limited.  It's first-come, first-served.  

     Don't hesitate to contact us for the best value at your preferred resorts, or let us get to know you so we can suggest our favorites based on your preferences.  We look forward to your call!  

ABOUT US

Selecting a Travel Advisor to arrange and oversee your bucket list-worthy excursions, memorable family gatherings, extraordinary destination weddings, and exceptional vacation plans should be given the same level of scrutiny as choosing a doctor, lawyer, accountant or banker.  You want someone with experience to manage the multifaceted details of trip planning ... highly-recommended industry virtuosos whom you feel confident understand your travel style, specific needs, desires, and requirements, and are respected by - and known to - industry leaders.

 

That would be us.

 

Travel planning can be a confusing and frustrating endeavor.  Coyaba Travel assists busy clients by wading through the multitude of options to arrive at the best possible circumstances for their needs in consideration of brand reputation, appointment, location, service, value and - most importantly - our personal experience to provide our clients with priceless memories. 

 

We are wanderlust enthusiasts driven by our own curiosity to seek out and explore exciting adventures, idyllic romantic hideaways, luxury escapes, and delectable destinations, and have held executive-level positions in the travel, hospitality and tourism business since 1982.  As dedicated, discerning globetrotters, our recommendations are based on expert knowledge garnered from our exclusive rapport with reputable companies and astute service providers.    

 

This is not a side hustle; it's been our career for over 40 years.  Having been affiliated with major four- and five-star hotels and resorts, luxury villa rental companies and tour operators, airlines and other travel-related establishments, we are intimately familiar with the ins and outs of the business and - most importantly - we've built and continue to enjoy long-term relationships with decision-makers whom we can call upon to help us take your trip from just meh to outstanding.

 

Our clients believe that travel is a necessary element in a well-balanced life.  They recognize the importance of making the right choices:  the safest and most convenient neighborhoods; finest, reliable, quality hotels and resorts; ultimate, delectable cuisine; most outstanding villas, condominiums, and private islands; reputable and accommodating cruise lines ... and more.  Our clients choose to engage us in their planning process because Coyaba Travel's team of ardent worldwide travelers has extensive first-hand knowledge of the destinations, accommodations, and services we offer and are keenly aware of shifting trends.

Simply put:  chances are we've been there, done that.   

 

We have dedicated our lives to creating wonderful vacations or events for the 'culturally curious' that is truly high quality, memorable and authentic.  We search the globe for the uncommon and rare travel opportunities that take our clients down undiscovered and intriguing paths.  Beyond providing a personal touch and stellar customer care, we’re in the business of doing our utmost to ensure that your arrangements are noteworthy, unforgetable and, of course, hassle-free.

 

  Our travel partners and service providers have been carefully selected based on many years of synergy and satisfied clients.  It is our mission for our clients to have a wonderful adventure that - as part of a relaxing change of pace - incorporates learning about a destination:  savoring fine dining and local cuisine; identifying significant customs and apparel; enjoying indigenous music and dance; and highlighting the unknown.     

Coyaba Club's Exclusive Escorted Group Tours showcase the best a destination has to offer and can be modified to accommodate the specific needs of a particular group.  We hand-pick each transportation, hotel/resort, dining, sightseeing and other inclusions in our programs.  There's no charge to join our list of happy travelers to hear about our upcoming great adventures.  Just send us your e-mail address and you will be among the first to have the opportunity to secure a place on the next exciting, unparalleled, small group excursion! 

 

We would be delighted to draw on our more than three decades of experience for the planning of your next trip so that you, too, will be as pleased with the results of our expertise and due-diligence as our other clients have been.  We've managed thousands of family vacations, reunions, destination weddings, honeymoons, girl/guy getaways, specialty excursions (private aviation, divers and snorkelers, anglers, horticultural, etc.), meetings, incentive programs and solo explorations.  

 

Nothing thrills us more than when our clients share their exceptional globetrotting adventures and tell us that we make them feel as if they are our only priority.   We'd love to have the opportunity to bring you into the fold, and welcome hearing from you!

"Thank you, Lori.  My trip (Arizona) was spectacular, to say the least.  I enjoyed every minute.  The resort was beautiful and quiet.  The food was amazing.  The people are so very friendly.  Also, thank you for adding the handicapped accessibility.  It made my trip very easy.  I am so grateful for that.  The upgraded room was just breathless.  What a lovely place to go and relax!  All my needs were met.  I could never have done this on my own.  Thank you so much for all that you did.  I'll definitely be back again soon for another adventure!
                                                                                                            ~ Jill F., June 2024

"Our trip was to Aruba was wonderful.  The resort you recommended was beautiful, food was excellent, service impeccable.  The Staff was friendly + always helpful.  We relaxed, slept, ate, walked, shopped and relaxed more."
                                                                      ~ Christine K. and Catherine O., March 2024          
"Many thanks for your help with our trip (Cozumel).  We had a great time.  The resort was wonderful.  You were spot on about the beach.  I think it is the best place to be given the cleanliness, service, beauty of the beach and all inclusive nature.  Would love to go back next year."
                                                                                  ~ Christine R., January 2023

"You covered all the bases, from making the hotel reservations the night before with a place to keep the vehicle to the Mobay Club making the return back much smoother, and everything in between.  Thank you so much!"
                                                                                                                                                     ~ Tammy and Ray A., January 2022

"This was the first time in a long time that we used a travel agent to plan our trip.  And for the first time in 35 years, we were able to relax the moment we got on the plane.  Going to a new place, having a planned itinerary, took a lot of stress out of our vacation."                                                                     ~ Jill and John K., January 2022

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  I had the most amazing time!  Thank you for your expertise, time and effort in booking my trip.  I could not have done this without you.  Everything was detailed and ran smoothly.  I was a nervous wreck and didn't know what to expect, going into the airport for the 1st time in decades.  Now I have confidence in travel because of you.  Thank you again for making my travel the best positive experience one could ask for."
                                                                                                        ~ Jill F., August 2022

"Lori has lived, worked, and traveled extensively throughout The Bahamas, Caribbean and Mexico for over three decades.  Therefore, her knowledge of these regions and individual islands is extensive, faultless, and authentic.  What she tells you is precisely what you will get.  We look forward to working with Lori again."     

                                                                     ~ Laura and Al W., February-March 2020

"Yet another trip with Coyaba Travel and - once again - everything was excellent!  There was not a thing that would have made our trip more enjoyable and hassle-free."                                                                                      ~ Sharon F. and Jack C., February 2020

"We came to Lori with another destination in mind.  Based on what we told her we were looking for, she recommended New Orleans and booked us in a fabulous antebellum hotel just off Bourbon Street.  Since we're into checking out new places to eat when we travel, she gave us a list of her favorite restaurants which was really helpful.  NOLA had been on our bucket list for a long time, and this trip checked off all the boxes!

Spring Break with daughter and husband was fantastic!  We requested + sought a beach venue that was safe, comfortable + stress-free.  Lori hit the nail on the head - it was perfect!

Melanie W.

We have recently booked an all-inclusive resort in Jamaica with Coyaba Travel, our third trip handled by Coyaba Travel in the past two years. Lori was spot-on with her recommendations in Freeport/Lucaya and Barbados (which is going to be hard to beat).  Our friends now call on her when booking their travel, too.
