What to Expect When Planning with Diamond Shores Travel

Planning travel should feel exciting—not overwhelming. At Diamond Shores Travel, we make the process simple, stress-free, and tailored to your needs. When you choose to work with one of our travel advisors, here’s what you can expect:

1. Personalized Consultation

We begin by getting to know you—your travel style, preferences, and budget. Whether you’re dreaming of a luxury beach escape, family adventure, or seamless corporate trip, we listen carefully to design the experience that’s right for you.

2. Expert Planning & Research

Your travel advisor will handle the details, from comparing flights and resorts to securing exclusive perks, rates, and/or offers you won’t find online. We leverage our industry connections & partnerships to make sure your trip is both memorable and worry-free.

3. Transparent Planning Fees

Unlike some agencies, we are transparent about our planning fees whereas others bake it into your trip cost without you even realizing. To provide you with the highest level of service and dedicated support, non-refundable planning fees may apply. These fees cover:

  • In-depth research, quote generation, & customized itineraries

  • Time spent coordinating logistics (flights, hotels, cruises, tours, transfers, etc.)

  • Ongoing support before, during, and after your trip

Planning fees are discussed upfront, so you’ll always know what to expect—no surprises. Planning fees are due prior to Travel Advisor performing research and providing quotes. Our fees range from $29.99 to $149.99 based on complexity of trip requirements. This range is far below the industry standard where some agencies charge upwards of $1000 or more. Some fees maybe adjusted based on first-time client discounts, referral discounts, repeat client loyalty rates, high-season adjustments, or last minute requests.

4. Stress-Free Booking

Once your plans are finalized, we’ll handle all the reservations, confirmations, and travel documents, so you can focus on the fun part—counting down the days until departure.

5. Support Every Step of the Way

From the moment you book until you return home, your advisor is just a call or message away. Should anything unexpected arise during your travels, we’ll be there to assist.
