Trip story

One The Bahamas story

A client Ann booked here, Melanie P. (Nassau, Bahamas, RIU Paradise): "took all the stress out… handled every detail from flights to transfers… stayed within my budget… recommended travel insurance… now it will always be a staple"

Most Omaha travelers do The Bahamas as an all-inclusive week. Ann's job is the matching: adults-only or kids club, which coast, which room category earns a free upgrade, and the transfer so nobody is bargaining with a taxi line. Payment goes to InteleTravel or the resort, never through this site.
