Let’s talk about the word “cheap.” Because when it comes to cheap travel, that word can end up being a lot more expensive than people realize.
I see it happen all the time. A couple finds a resort online that looks beautiful and seems like a great deal. The photos are dreamy, the price is low, and the booking takes five minutes. Easy, right?
But then the trip begins, and the truth starts to surface.
The room looks nothing like the photos.
The beach is overcrowded.
There’s construction next door.
The food is disappointing.
And by the end of the week, that “great deal” doesn’t feel so great anymore.
What Cheap Travel Saves Upfront Can Cost You Later
Online booking engines are designed for speed and quantity. They don’t know anything about your preferences, your goals for the trip, or what you value most in a vacation. They simply list what’s available, often prioritizing what’s cheapest or what earns them the highest commission.
That lower price might mean:
- You’re locked into a non-refundable rate
- The room is in the worst location at the property
- Key amenities or inclusions are missing
- The photos were taken ten years ago and don’t reflect the current condition
- You end up paying more once you arrive because the fine print was unclear
And by the time you figure that out, you’re already there.
You’re Not Just Booking a Room
You’re booking a week of your life.
Investing in time with your partner.
Creating memories that should feel effortless and well cared for.
That’s why I focus on value, not just price.
When planning your trip together, I’ll help you find the resort or itinerary that reflects your travel style and your priorities. That includes:
- Choosing the right room category for comfort and views
- Matching you with properties that align with your pace and preferences
- Making sure the inclusions match your expectations
- Taking care of transfers, logistics, and those small touches that make a trip feel elevated
And when something unexpected comes up, you’re not stuck only calling a 1-800 number. You have someone in your corner.
