"I recently went on a girls trip to celebrate our 60th birthday and I cannot say enough about the incredible experience Michelle created for us. From the very beginning, Michelle presented a variety of fantastic options for hotels with spas in the Scottsdale area. After considering several, we decided on the Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! The resort was absolutely stunning – everything Michelle described and more. The highlight was definitely the amazing spa and the rooftop pool with breathtaking views. Michelle went above and beyond to make sure all our needs were met and that we had the best possible experience. Her recommendations were spot on, and her attention to detail made our trip seamless and stress-free. We are so grateful for Michelle‘s expertise and help in planning this unforgettable celebration. We can’t wait to work with her again for our next adventure!"

"Michelle took the time to understand the vibe and experience I was looking for during our time in Rome. We had never been so she made sure that we saw the key sights but in a way that was authentic to us. Michelle booked our tours and recommended places to take in so we weren’t overwhelmed but also had some downtime as well."

— Lauren P.
"Michelle had a great recommendation for this location! We absolutely loved the hotel. It met all of our expectations. She's got great recommendations, thinks of all the things (rental car, food option, other activities) and really tries to take any stress out of planning. 10/10 recommend! Thanks, Michelle!"
