 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes over this last year of planning our 50th Wedding anniversary has been "over the moon"!! She responds so quickly to my inquiries. We had a party of 15 with our adult children, spouses and grandkids and that is no small feat to coordinate. I will use her services again for sure!

Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes planned the most incredible trip to Curaçao, and I truly cannot recommend her enough! From the very beginning, she made the entire process completely stress-free and thought of every detail to make sure our vacation was perfect.

Her recommendations and attention to detail made all the difference. Everything from the Sandals resort, sailboat excursion, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. It was so nice to just show up, relax, and enjoy paradise knowing everything had already been taken care of.

Curaçao was absolutely beautiful, but having Angela’s expertise behind the scenes made the trip even better. I would definitely recommend using Angela with Blissful Travel Escapes for your next vacation, especially if you want a trip that feels effortless, memorable, and perfectly planned. We can’t wait for her to plan our next adventure!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of working with Angela to arrange a Royal Caribbean sailing on Star of the Seas for a large extended family, and the experience felt seamless and thoughtfully curated from start to finish.

Angela made coordination feel effortless. With a busy schedule that makes phone calls difficult, I greatly appreciated her responsiveness via text and email. Her communication style was efficient, clear, and always timely, which made planning a large group trip surprisingly simple.

She managed every detail with care, from securing our reservations to thoughtfully arranging our staterooms so our group was conveniently located on the same floor and near one another. Dining coordination was handled just as smoothly, ensuring our family could share meals together without stress or confusion.

What truly sets Angela apart is her attentiveness and precision. Her reminders were always well-timed, her follow-through impeccable, and she frequently stepped in to communicate directly with family members when needed, removing me entirely as the intermediary.

Working with Angela felt like having a dedicated luxury travel concierge—proactive, composed, and deeply detail-oriented. I have already recommended her to several family members, and plan to have her help plan our next family cruise for 2027 soon.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've booked 2 Disney cruises with Blissful Travel Escapes and both experiences were amazing! It was an extremely easy and stress free process. Our agent Natalie was very prompt in answering any questions I had and guiding me through the entire trip with anything I needed. I'm already booked for another cruise in September! 10/10 would recommend booking with them.
