Default Travel Agencies/Agents

Im looking for someone or somewhere to book an all inclusive vacation to the Dominican Republic! I have been looking at CheapCaribbean.com but know nothing about booking online or with a travel agent. Does anyone know anyone that can help? I am looking to go towards the end of Sept.

I went once to Puerto plata with my dad and it was super intense! I had a blast! This time going with the gf so i guess it could go either way...

why not just use orbitz or travelocity? if you combine hotel with flight orbitz and travelocity type of 3rd party sites can get you some discounts. but only if you combine them together.

as long as you don't make any changes to your trip 3rd party booking sites are perfectly fine. but if you try to make changes they won't help you or charge you even more to make those changes. and sites like cheapcaribbean.com does use 3rd booking sites like orbitz/travelocity/priceline.

last year i went to aruba, stayed at all inclusive resort and used travelocity. this year i went to cancun and stayed at all inclusive resort again and used orbitz. and both worked out perfectly.

Hmm, I've been searching around and so far cheapcaribbean.com seemed to have the best prices for what i was looking for. Hopefully, all goes well bc I won't be able to change my vac dates from work! Also, tripadvisor.com has been so so helpful with advice, reviews, things to do, etc...its basically the s2ki of the travel world!
