Why The Tropical Travelers

The hotel can tell you why you should stay there. We can tell you if you shouldn’t.

Planning luxury travel for clients across the Main Line and Greater Philadelphia since 2001.

A hotel is always going to sell you its hotel. We look at the entire picture: the destination, location, property, room, experience, priorities and budget, and tell you what actually fits.

We’ve spent decades traveling, staying in the hotels, building industry relationships and learning the differences that don’t show up in a search.

That’s the value of having someone on your side who knows.

Matched, not googled

Pretty pictures are easy. Knowing what’s behind them takes experience.

We stay in the hotels. Walk the resorts. Meet the people behind them. And we listen to what our clients tell us when they return. So when we recommend somewhere, we’re looking beyond the star rating and the photographs to the things that actually determine whether you’ll love being there. That’s knowledge you can’t get from a booking button.

Where we send you

The world is big. We know where you belong.

“Tropical Travelers took care of everything. This was a wonderful vacation and I didn’t need to worry about anything. They were there every step of the way.”

“We had an amazing experience working with Lisa at Tropical Travelers to plan our girls’ birthday trip to Puerto Vallarta! Lisa was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly patient with us, especially since planning a girls’ trip meant coordinating schedules, making multiple calls, following up on details, and taking our time to make decisions. She never made us feel rushed and was always there to answer our questions and help us work through our options. Lisa was also extremely knowledgeable about the excursions available and took the time to explain our options so we could choose the experiences that were right for us. She went above and beyond to make sure all of the details were taken care of, including arranging our transportation to and from the resort, which gave us one less thing to worry about. Our trip to Puerto Vallarta was absolutely amazing and made for a birthday celebration that I will always remember. We had such a great experience, and I am already looking forward to planning my next trip with Lisa! If you’re looking for a travel agent who is knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and truly cares about making your trip special, I highly recommend Lisa and Tropical Travelers!”

“I found The Tropical Travelers through a TikTok and I am so glad I decided to utilize their services for my husbands birthday surprise vacation. Their communication during the planning process was so fast and clear. Maribeth was who I worked with and she was fantastic!! From finding exactly what I imagined for a vacation to recommending me to someone in their team for excursions. When we arrived to the resort we were blown away! The destination was so beautiful, relaxing, and everything I hoped for. Our room came with a swim up pool which was my favorite. I am definitely going to use their services again as Maribeth was absolutely amazing and made this entire trip as stress free as possible.”

“I’m usually the one that plans our family vacations. This one was special because it was to be a birthday present to me. I didn’t want the hassle of researching and looking and watching tons of videos. I had seen this company’s tiktok and sent it to my husband. I said ask for their help. They did an amazing job. After contacting them they sent him a form with a few questions. Location, budget, days, preferred airport and what he was looking for in a vacation. Maribeth quickly Came up with an itinerary. He asked them to switch the order of the island. We wanted Anguilla first and then St. Martin. He had them move around the itinerary a bit. Changing the amount of dates, with St Barts, without, more days here and there. Everytime she promptly responded with the changes and the price. Once finalized she sent the form for payment. He forgot and they tried again a few days later. We got email reminder of forms we needed. A detailed itinerary with confirmation numbers. Contact info and emergency contact info for the company. Now the trip was above superb. They set up our ferry transfers with a private company. This was the best decision. Our flight was delayed by a lot and the service they picked for us waited for us and quickly got us on our way to Anguilla. Our experience at Zemi Beach house was perfect. The distance to the best beach was short. We ate at the other bigger resorts and felt although bigger the distance to the actual beach was too far. In St. Martin we stayed on the French side and it was the best choice for us as well. Now our hotel was also a few steps from the beach and a short drive to a calmer beach. We already said that we will contact them again for our next tropical vacation.”
