Testimonials from Laura's clients:
"All I can say is WOW and thank you to Laura from Change of Latitude Travel.
I had no idea where to go and she had wonderful suggestions for me being very attentive to what I wanted. My vacation was superb with all of the tips from her. The resort itself was exceptionally beautiful and the entertainment every night was fantastic.
Laura told me that if I took lessons on the paddle boards and the catamaran the very first day that I was there that I could use them whenever I wanted (as long as they were available) the whole time that I was there.
She also told me that around lunch time there would be carts around the resort that would have something special everyday so that if you wanted to hang by the pool or by the beach and not get out of your bathing suit, you could try Jamaican Heritage food. Thank you for the Great advise. I really enjoyed the jerk chicken (with no extra spices) and the coconut juice (milk).
I know from now on I am not going to try to use the internet and go strictly to her for all of my travel wants and needs!

Testimonials from Laura's clients:
"I was greatly pleased with Laura's quality of service. She listened to our requests and requirements and recommended great destination wedding resorts for us to choose from. She organized all the travel and lodging in Mexico for 35 of our guests. Laura was very flexible with individual guest requests, and got a great rates for my guests. She played the liaison between myself and the wedding coordinator at the resort. This lead to a quite effortless, seamless process. I was also very impressed with how she continued to support my guests through their travel to, and during their stay in Mexico. I would highly recommend working with Laura she is very professional and personable. She made the entire experience very easy, which is key when planning a destination wedding!"

Pros: The resort is beautiful - situated in a tropical jungle environment complete with amazing wildlife. Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal truly becomes a magical place in the evening, with winding paths throughout the resort to find your way and canopied trees shading the area during the day, walking around is as much a treat as staying at the resort! Both Iberostar Quetzal and Iberostar Tucan are the same resort and completely identical in every way. This resort remains a top pick for clients of all ages and likes.

Cons: Rather than talk about negatives, since there really aren't any, here is a shortlist of things to be aware of:
- Swim-up Bar - Separate from the main pool in a smaller adults only pool. This may be a plus for many people.
- Dining Reservations - Reservations are required at a la carts.
- Ocean Views - Very few rooms are oceanfront but many have partial ocean views
- Pool Depth - There is a zero entry area but the pool is over 5' deep.
- WIFI Access- There is a charge for wifi.
This shortlist are just things to be aware of but are by no means, deal breakers. The few shortcomings are more than made up for by all of the other resort features.
