Royalton Antigua

My husband and I were unsure of where to go and our travel agent Shelley Elkas helped us with a few options. She was excellent and we decided on the Royalton Antigua!
The Royalton Antigua is a fantastic resort with excellent food and the beach/pool area is picture perfect!
We will definitely recommend this resort.
Thanks Shelley for helping us with our perfect vacation!

Stress free vacations start here!

Kelsea made our vacation plans a breeze. From booking and payments to the travel and safety tips in the app, it’s always a pleasure to work with her. She makes things easy, and explains everything really well. Best way to book anything travel related for stress free vacation or holiday!

Honeymoon Planning with Kelsea Pangilinan

I first contacted Kelsea a few months ago to help me plan my honeymoon for September 2025. I am not one who enjoys the planning aspect of a trip. Kelsea is attentive, kind, and super knowledgeable about many different countries. I recommend Kelsea and her services to anyone looking to go on a trip!

If you know, you know.

Honestly, if you need assistance on booking anything from 2-20+ people, Kelsea is my go to and here’s why:

1) Communication - She is always readily available and her responses are quick.
2) Agile - If there is a change in budget or an addition of another individual she finds solutions to fit what we’re looking for.
3) Knowledge - She knows her stuff. From a calm peaceful trip to a bachelorette that is still being talked about. She asks the right questions and does not disappoint.
4) Honest - She will let you know what price points look like in the market and what they currently have to offer. She doesn’t sugar coat, and tells you what fees may arise, which other site are terrible at disclosing.

She was a referral from a few friends and it makes sense as to why. Honestly wouldn’t book an all-inclusive without her.

I have booked through Kelsea PANGILINAN…

I have booked through Kelsea PANGILINAN several times throughout the years and she was so patient with many changes I made, she was thorough with all explanations and she made sure all my needs were met and understood. I recently did a big semi solo trip to Europe and I had so much anxiety, she supported me all the way through. I would definitely choose Escapes.ca with Kelsea again in the future. My trip was a trip of a lifetime and she helped make that come true! Amazing and dedicated she is to her clients! Thank you so much for everything and you will hear from me again soon. Carrie.

Excellent Wedding Experience

We had the pleasure of working with Kelsea from Escapes to book our destination wedding. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. Kelsea took the time to meticulously explain every detail, ensuring that we had a comprehensive understanding of all the arrangements. She was always available to promptly address any questions or concerns we had. Additionally, Kelsea curated an impressive selection of resorts that perfectly aligned with our preferences and requirements. Her passion for her work is evident in the exceptional service she provides. We highly recommend Kelsea for anyone planning a destination wedding. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have now booked 3 trips with Escapes and recommend to everyone we talk to who is looking to book a trip. Our most recent trip in October was booked with the help of Chelsea at Escapes and cannot say enough good things about her customer service and how helpful she was. Emails always answered quickly and all questions always answered. We will definitely be continuing to use Chelsea and Escapes for future trips. 5 stars!

Excellent service from start to finish

For our trip, we chose to do the cruise of the Greece islands on Royal Caribbean. The booking was handled with ease and professionalism, and the agent made sure that we had everything that we wanted and needed to fully enjoy our vacation. We also chose to fly business class, as I wanted to be comfortable, there were absolutely No issues with our flight it was seamless. The agent took care of everything and made sure we were aware when payments were due and went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was absolutely amazing.
I would recommend this agency to anyone and the agent that we dealt with was Michelle. I hope this helps anyone looking for advice on who to book with and if you choose them you will not be disappointed.
I also recommend anyone who is looking for an absolutely amazing trip to look at going on the grease island tour through Royal Caribbean. Highly recommend one of the best trips I’ve been on yet

Amazing Holiday Experience because of Escapes.ca

I was looking to book a cruise vacation and was really confused with the options and destinations as it was my first time on a cruise. I was helped by Melanie from Escape.ca and she guided me through all the available options - each cruise’s pros and cons and got me a really good deal. The experience on the cruise was also better since I was aware what to expect and could travel worry free all because of Melanie - she even got in touch with Air Canada to confirm the strike status for me. I would definitely book my future vacations through Escapes.ca

Fun Mexico Family Trip!

Chelsea was phenomenal with helping my family and I through the booking process of our trip to Mexico! She gave us all the details in a clear manner and the trip went smoothly! We enjoyed going to Mexico for the first time and our resort experience was great too! Great food, music and activities too!

A bit of sun and a bit of fun!

I knew I wanted a vacation in the sun, but didn't know where to go. I tried other online travel booking services but was unable to find a travel agent to give me the personalized help that I needed.

I looked online and found glowing reviews at Escapes.ca so I contacted them. I was put in touch with Chelsea who responded right away and gave me a number of great suggestions according to my needs.

She helped me every step of the way to book my trip to Paradisus in Los Cabos and made sure I got there safe and sound. I had an AMAZING trip where I relaxed in the sun at the resort and then did some adrenaline-filled activities including ATVing, ziplining and my first bungee jump! Just what I wanted.

I now recommend Chelsea to all my friends. Thanks so much Chelsea! Looking forward to my next trip with Escapes.ca

Hi Shirly,

We are very sorry for the problems you experienced, this is never our intention and we pride our selves on quality service. Unfortunately, we are all human and sometimes mistakes do happen.

Winter was very upset and apologetic for the issue at hand and has learned from this. As always, we will continue to work at identifying ways to improving our service to our valued customers.

Most unsatisfying experience

Most unsatisfying experience! Planning a destination weeding with Allison Tatham, 3 weeks into the process all we head is nothing. Every time we contacted Alison she was waiting for reply’s from Sunwing or resort. Last communication with her we got no replay or follow up for a week. Reached out to sunwing directly and got reply with in min. Same day reached out to the resort in Mexico and got a reply first thing in the morning. She took a $200
