“I won a trip at a wedding show through Kiki, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled! Kiki was incredibly kind and supportive, helping my fiancé and me book our flights and communicating with the hotel whenever needed. She went above and beyond, especially when I felt uncertain about traveling due to restrictions. Her patience and guidance throughout the entire process were truly remarkable, and I’m so grateful for her help. I’ll definitely be recommending Kiki to all my friends and colleagues. If you’re considering booking with her, don’t hesitate—she’s amazing!”
“Hi Kiki,
I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for everything! Our wedding was beyond what we could have imagined. The resort coordinated everything so well and we have absolutely no complaints about our wedding day!
The resort was BEAUTIFUL. I was in aw of it the entire time we were there. Such lush greenery and a beautiful beach and the remoteness of the location was exactly what I wanted! The food and the service was great. Everyone enjoyed the buffet and all the a la cartes. The staff was also very friendly and we just loved our time there.
Our ACV rep on site, Diane...she was amazing. She went above and beyond for us (even stopping off at a pharmacy for us one day)... if I had any questions I just asked her. I really appreciated her service.
The spa staff did an absolutely amazing job on the hair and make up for my bridesmaids and I. Donavin and I also went for a massage there and it was amazing!
It was just an amazing week and all my guests had a fabulous time. It was very hard to leave. We will definitely be visiting more palladium resorts in the future.
Thank you so much for your hard work over the last year. It has been great working with you!”
“I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH to Kiki at Marlin Travel for helping me, my husband and my wedding group.
We had such an AMAZING week at the Majestic Elegance Resort and an even more beautiful destination wedding!!
I am so great full to have had Kiki as my travel agent because she looked and looked for resorts that were not only in our budget but beautiful enough for my guest to experience Punta Cana for the first time!
Thank you Kiki for being available to me whenever I had concerns or questions. My husband and I also really appreciated the wedding gifts she sent us before we left for our trip...it was those little touches that she took that separate her from the other hundreds of travel agents!!!

“Kiki is the perfect choice for anyone whom is planning a destination wedding. Upon enquiring regarding various sunny locations for our destination wedding, Kiki was quick to provide immediate and detailed information. We had many questions regarding the finer details and Kiki was always able to immediately provide us with the requested information. Wow!..(and we had a lot of questions). She is very resourceful, always so kind, professional and absolutely enjoyable to work with. A lasting relationship was certainly developed and we will continue to organize all future travel through her expertise!
After reviewing multiple options with Kiki we chose the Finest Playa Mujeres, Mexico. This place really turned out to be beyond our expectations, This is a pristine, NEW and modern Resort which I highly recommend. Whenever we needed help with the communication between the onsite wedding coordinator, Kiki was always there to facilitate. The location was truly 5 star and we were treated like royalty. The staff were always so happy and would communicate with you on a first name basis. Upon arrival the hotel upgraded us to one of the most premium rooms.. Amazing! - probably thanks to Kiki 🙂
We are very grateful that Kiki was the one helping us plan this special time in our lives and could not be happier with the entire process and experience!!
Thanks again Kiki!!
You’re a superstar!

“We had the most incredible family vacation to Cuba thanks to Kiki! From start to finish, she took care of every detail for our family of five and put together the perfect 2‑week package. The resort she recommended was beautiful, the activities kept everyone...kids and adults alike ...happy, and the whole trip was stress‑free because of her thoughtful planning.
Kiki truly listened to what we wanted, found an amazing value for us, and went above and beyond to make the entire experience seamless. If you’re looking for someone who really understands family travel and takes the time to create unforgettable memories, I can’t recommend Kiki enough!
Thank you, Kiki, for making our vacation so special...we can’t wait to plan our next adventure with you!”
“Hi Kiki!
We had a fantastic honeymoon staying at the Paradisus Cancun! The hotel was beautiful! They gave us a room on the 8th floor oceanview. We had rose petals on the bed the first night & a bottle of champagne! That was nice! Thank you so much for the added romantic touches!”
“Kiki was very helpful in making sure that our Honeymoon to Be Live Collection in Dominican was as smooth as possible. She helped us arrange transportation to and from the airport. Would definitely recommend Kiki to friends!”
“Hi Kiki,
Our trip on the Celebrity Ascent was amazing. The ship is beautiful, staff are friendly and attentative, and the drinks and food were way beyond our expectations. Entertainment I thought was also great and there were TONS of activities. Embarkation and disembarkation as well as getting on and off the ship on port days was well organized, including where tendering was required. It was a great first cruising experience for us and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the ship to anyone. I thought it was worth the money.
Thanks so much for your help in organizing this cruise for us! ”
“Thank you Kiki for helping my guests and I book our flights and accommodations for my destination wedding.
Kiki is very knowledgable with her work. She is informative with the description of the different resorts and will help you stay within your budget, if you have one.
We had a minor inconvenience with the hotel once we landed, but Kiki was quick to respond and help in every way she was able to.
I definitely recommend Kiki to anyone who needs a helping hand with their destination wedding and any vacations.”
“Kiki helped us book our destination wedding to mexico for 40+ of our family and friends. She gave us many resort packages to choose from and all the information I asked for and I asked for a lot. She then handled all the guests and helped us by taking care of all the bookings and payments which took a lot off our plate while we were busy planning the wedding. We even had some last minute guest bookings that tried to book on their own but was told that the flights and hotel were fully booked. When we went to Kiki with the problem she got us all flights together and also rooms in the same resort.
Our wedding day turned out to be an amazing night with close friends and family. Small and intimate which is exactly what we wanted.
Thanks Kiki!”
“My husband and I were impressed with Kiki’s organization and thoroughness during our friend’s destination wedding back in 2020 that we enlisted in her services for our own wedding in 2022. Wedding planning is stressful to begin with and planning a destination wedding during a global pandemic brought about so many additional worries! Having Kiki help us navigate travel restrictions, curate resort packages based on our preferences, and take the time to explain various COVID-19 insurance policies really helped ease some of that stress.
January 31st we got married at the RIU Palace Costa Mujeres in Cancun and our experience there was nothing short of amazing. Such a beautiful resort! the staff and services were incredible and our wedding day was honestly so perfect! There was a nice variety of restaurants, activities, and shows and we seriously regret not extending our trip an extra week. There were some mild hiccups with Sunwing/airport transportation. But, these were quickly resolved by Kiki and the our onsite representatives! Other than that travel was stress free and we had such a great time. Thank you again for your help, we really appreciate it 😊”
“Kiki was a great planner, she is extremely organized and passionate. I would highly recommend her! Kiki planned my destination wedding and I feel like I would have been totally lost without her, I didn’t have a lot of time and she was able to take on many of the tasks and responsibilities! I was so happy with the outcome and my guests were just as pleased.
”
“Kiki coordinated my destination wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. She was very helpful, attentive and kept me from turning into a bridezilla! My wedding wouldn’t have been perfect without her help.”
“Kiki is an amazing planner! As a busy mom of two, it was nice to have someone to take the stress away from planning so that we could vacation to Hawaii with ease! She helped with the flights, accommodation and rental. Most importantly, if there were any questions along the way - she was always available. Thanks for being my go-to gal!🥰”
“We have had the pleasure of booking our vacations with Kiki for over 14 years. Throughout this time, she has consistently demonstrated exceptional kindness, professionalism, and expertise.
We have just returned from our most recent trrip to Australia and New Zealand.
Before our trip, Kiki kindly sent an email with a detailed reminder of essential items we may need for our journey. We are grateful for this, as it helped me from forgetting a few key items! 😅 Additionally, she provided timely updates on our tours and hotel reservations. Thank you Kiki❤️
As we begin considering our next trip, we are already planning to reach out to Kiki to assist with the arrangements once again.”
“Kiki was a great planner, she is extremely organized and passionate. I would highly recommend her! Kiki planned my destination wedding at the Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico and I feel like I would have been totally lost without her, I didn’t have a lot of time and she was able to take on many of the tasks and responsibilities! I was so happy with the outcome and my guests were just as pleased.”
“Thank you for following up. We had the best time in Jamaica at the Azul Beach Resort Negril, by Karisma...What a blast!
The resort was gorgeous, the beach location amazing. The overall service was great and food was really really good (especially on the restaurants that required reso).
The water activities were great, we truly did them all!
Btw - the Spa sooo good!
Thank you so much for organizing for us, we had a fantastic time in Jamaica - we will definitely come back!”
“Hi Kiki,
Thanks for the follow-up! And thank you for such a lovely trip. Karen kept saying how blessed she feels for winning it. The El Dorado Royale is definitely the place to be for couples for any occasion. We meet other couples at pools and lounges. We even had a double date with another couple on Sunday, our last night there, at Santa Fe Grill. We’re still raving about their short ribs there! We ate so much there! Service was top notch. Also, cats roam around the resort.
Many thanks from the both of us!”
“My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in Curaçao this past week, and it couldn’t have gone any smoother thanks to Kiki! From start to finish, she gave us all the information needed to make our final decisions, and she was so patient while we were going back and forth to figure out which room we were going to settle on. Our honeymoon was actually our first trip together out of the country, without family and we didn’t really know where to start until we found Kiki. We were looking for an all inclusive, adult-only resort with some amazing food and wound up finding Sandals Royale Curaçao. As mentioned, Kiki helped us narrow down our room selection, book all of our flights, get our insurance finalized and lastly booked our hotel for us during our layover in Houston! She was amazing when it came to letting us know all of the small things included during our trip, such as the airport transfers for example. Kiki honestly just got rid of any stress we had when it came to the entire adventure and we couldn’t have hoped for anyone better. Thank you so much Kiki, we will be sure to reach out when we plan our next vacation!!”
“Thank you Kiki for organizing our trip to Quebec City! We had a great time and can’t wait to book with you again 😊”
“Kiki was absolutely amazing, and was able to efficiently and effectively sort out a group of 60 of us for the best week of our life.
I dont know how she works her magic, but everything was smooth and stress free for us during a time that shouldn’t have been.
can’t wait to book the honeymoon through Kiki as well!
Great job and thank you for all your hard work!!”
“Worked with Kiki to plan a family vacation and a proposal to my now Fiancé! Kiki was very helpful and insightful. I knew I wanted to go to an all inclusive in Punta Cana, and sent Kiki a few resorts I liked. She knew all the resorts I asked about, and we actually ended up picking one that she recommended and it couldn’t have been more perfect! As for the proposal, Kiki helped work with me and the hotel coordinator to plan a proposal and romantic dinner. It couldn’t have been more perfect! I would definitely recommend working with Kiki and will definitely work with her again in the future (hopefully near future)!
”
“Kiki was extremely accommodating and understanding throughout the entire process of our destination wedding. From the very start Kiki pulled multiple quotes for us until we found the perfect location for us, Kiki kept all of our guests informed and was available to us for anything we needed until the day we arrived home and beyond.
From the planning, to the location, and the thoughtful gifts everything was 5* quality and we highly recommend Kiki.
Thank you for your hard work and thoughtfulness making our destination wedding stress free and full of nothing but good memories!!”
“I accidentally found Kiki when I was booking a trip with Airmiles (to book a package vacation you have to use an agent). We had already chosen our location & resort. Kiki professionally managed our booking; informed me about a catamaran tour (I didn’t know was available to us as a perk for booking when we did); she also explained our vow renewal inclusions and worked with Sandals to coordinate our planning sessions. She’s easy to talk to and great to work with!”
“We chose to work with Kiki after she was so great for my BFFs destination wedding. She continued to be just as accommodating for us! From her suggestions of locations to confirming suitcases, she was above & beyond. We couldn’t have had a better time, and I attribute that to her amazing planning & support! Thanks Kiki - talk to you in November for our return trip! 😉”
“Kiki is great - she’s my go to when I want to go on a vacation, whether it’s leisure, romance, business, whatever. She always has some awesome tips - and knows exactly what I want and need. She’s super quick as responding - as I am one who always has a ton of questions. I am also super busy in my career so I was super fortunate that she was flexible with her working hours. I didn’t even have to go in to see her - was able to arrange everything over the phone and chat.
Kiki Dimakis has also travelled excessively herself - so I trusted her knowledge in finding the most perfect venues for my and my boyfriends personalities.
We just travelled to Breathless Riveria Cancun - which was a suggestion of Kiki. It was absolutely amazing 🙂
Hopefully I will be able to utilize Kiki and her skills to book a destination wedding in the next couple year, wink wink.
Thanks again Kiki - keep doing your thing ❤ You’re the best.”
“Hi Kiki,
Overall I thought the trip went very well.
The flights were good and generally on time.
The resort had pros and cons. I think more transparency from WJ Vacations would have been helpful.
Thanks for all of your help in booking the trip. Despite the few cons above, everyone had a great time!”
“Kiki is the best! I recently planned a family trip to Barbados, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, Kiki was incredibly thorough, responsive, and thoughtful in every detail. She found us the best possible prices, ideal travel dates, and even secured comprehensive travel insurance, all while making the process feel effortless on our end.
Her knowledge of the industry and commitment to getting the best deal truly stood out. It’s clear that she cares deeply about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. I highly recommend Kiki’s services to anyone looking for a seamless, stress-free travel experience.”
“Hi Kiki - good to hear from you. I can honestly say the CUBA trip was absolutely amazing, fantastic, and hugely enjoyable.
1) Arrival went off without a hitch.
2) The hotel in Havana was great - nice, perfect location, friendly/helpful people and terrific music. We really enjoyed this as our home base for the first few days.
3) We completely fell in love with Trinidad - the drive down (with a few stops) was great and Trinidad itself was, for me, the highlight of the entire time there.
I think the 2 highlights for us were the music and the architecture. We are both musicians (that’s Ann’s profession) and Ann has a degree in architecture so this was all heaven to us. Live Cuban music which we both love was everywhere nearly all the time. And it was really, really good. I think Ann’s biggest thrill was lucking out by stumbling across a concert with a group that included a couple of members of the Buena Vista Social Club who are still alive. What a huge thrill. And yes, we LOVED the Tropicana show.
Oh - and we simply couldn’t get enough of all the cars - wow.
I do greatly appreciate all your work in putting this together. It was the trip of a lifetime ... and one we hope to repeat at some point.
Thanks!”
“Kiki was recommended to me for my destination wedding by a friend that also used her services, and I was not disappointed! We planned our destination wedding only 8 months out, and Kiki was very quick to respond and extremely informative right from the start. She was always available by email, calls or text and made the whole process so much easier on us. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone planning a destination wedding!”
“Kiki is an awesome travel agent and organizer! She is so meticulous and thorough. She completely took care of everything for my wedding, and I could relax and enjoy being the bride (that was my main wish after getting engaged). She travels a lot herself so has a lot of connections at various resorts. They love her! She responded quickly to my questions and concerns and took care of things for me. I highly recommend her!”
“Very helpful and accommodating. Kiki also kept everything very simple and got me the best deal possible. I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends and family.”
“Kiki has been our go to travel agent for years. She has always done an amazing job finding us great deals and is just a phonecall away. My whole family uses her to book trips every year. Don’t hesitate, Kiki knows her stuff 🙂”
“Hi Kiki
I think it was the best trip we ever had. Every day was a new adventure and meeting new people.
When on the cruise we did a combo of the tours offered by the cruise and some of our own with people we met.
We saw the coolest places. My favourites are: Rome, Florence, Taranto and Kotor Montenegro.
We really liked the Azamara boutique cruise too. More intimate. Room was great, food was average.
Thanks for your help in arranging this for us Kiki.”
“When planning our honeymoon, we were feeling very overwhelmed with choosing a destination. So many options, and then picking a resort after that... we realized we needed help. I contacted Kiki to help ease the process and hopefully get some advice as well. And what we got from her was so much more than that!
She took our needs and wants and came up with some amazing options for us, as well as some of her own recommendations to help narrow down our list. She was so helpful and so organized. Our trip was flawless. Everything was planned for us, we just had to show up at the airport at the right time.
I highly recommend using Kiki for all your travel needs. She is the best, and you will receive the best when you book with her.”
“Thanks for following-up. Our Babymoon trip to Huntington Beach was really good. Very relaxing and the resort is a great property! Thanks for the recommendation of staying at The Waterfront Beach Resort, Hilton Hotel!”
“Hi Kiki,
The trip was incredible! We absolutely loved sailing on the Celebrity Ascent and can’t wait to do it again one day ☺️
We appreciate all your help with booking!”
“We had just finished a Mediterranean cruise that we booked with Kiki. We had a great time, the boat was the Celebrity Ascent and was an 11 day cruise that started and ended in Civitavecchia (the port for Rome). We had stops in Crete, Kusadasi (Turkey), Istanbul, Santorini, Mykonos, and Naples. The whole experience, from booking the cruise and the advice that Kiki gave us, to the cruise experience itself was fantastic. If you’re looking for a travel agent to help you with destination weddings, or just international travel in general, I highly recommend Kiki!”
“Kiki made everything go so smooth & put our minds at ease during a hectic stressful time. She truly has phenomenal knowledge & customer service that results in a top notch experience!”
“Kiki is a fantastic travel planner. Our firm used her services for an annual retreat and her service was top notch.”
“Kiki sent us on a dream honeymoon. Of course I cross checked prices and nothing I could find compared to the price she gave us.”
“Kiki booked a trip to the Bahamas for me and my boyfriend a few months ago and she was awesome to work with! She sent us a detailed email with various options that met our criteria within a few hours of our meeting and provided us with tonnes of valuable information. I would not hesitate to recommend her for booking trips and plan on using her for all of my upcoming holidays!”
“I met Kiki at the My Dream Wedding Show in 2014 and immediately knew I wanted her help with planning my destination wedding. I was having trouble figuring out where to start, but Kiki was so knowledgeable and helped me coordinate every little detail. Our wedding was truly a dream come true! All of our guests commented about how easy it was to work with Kiki and I couldn’t agree more. Thank you SO much Kiki for responding to my endless calls and emails and making me feel like the most important bride in the world!”
