It was a pleasure speaking with you today George! As I mentioned we hope to be able to book a trip towards the end of the year. Unfortunately with the economy in such a state we are being somewhat cautious.
However, it was my pleasure to be able to recommend your travel expertise to my friend Joe who is looking to travel sometime in July. They were looking into Aruba however I mentioned to him that your agents had provided Robert and I with the best travel advice we’ve ever received. That advice lead us to enjoy 2 luxury vacations in Samana and Punta Cana. The accommodations were fabulous; the food exquisite; and the cost was less than half what we would have paid in Aruba.
I am glad the opportunity has arisen whereby I can recommend your services to others and hope they will have a marvelous vacation as Robert and I did.
Thank you to you and all those who have worked with us.

Vicky and George,
Thank you both for all of the help in arranging the group vacation to the Ocean Blue in Punta Cana. My clients were very impressed with the facilities, the staff, and the food at the Ocean Blue.
They were especially impressed with how they were treated by the Carribbean Escape employees who transported them from and to the airport and checked on them throughout he week.
All in all they thoroughly enjoyed their stay in the Dominican Republic and look forward to returning next year with more people.

Dear George! I can not express enough my gratitude to you and your company for providing such an excellent service for my vacation planed with your company. It starts with the price, transportation in Punta Cana and the resort itself. Very impressive, nice to feel to be special when you take the time off to relex and enjoy yourself. Paradisus Punta Cana is a real PARADISE on the island: the decor, landscape, rooms, service, food and entertainment. On the scale from 1 to 10 it is an excellent 10. Thank You Very much for your help and I definitely will be doing business with Reko Tours in the future. Thanks a lot!

Subj: Reko Tours Punta Cana Vacation
Date: 3/24/08
From: Carlos@yachtstore.com
Reko Tours arranged two vacations for my wife Rafaela and we were introduced to the Dominican Republic. We are travel agents and we take FAM trips and 3 vacations a year not including my yachting trips as the owner of a yacht brokerage firm. This last vacation in March 2008 was 10 nights at the Oceanblue Hotel in Punta Cana. We requested a balcony room overlooking the beach. We were given the ELITE building #10. The room had a balcony overlooking palm trees and the ocean. There was an attractive couch that served as a place to lounge or sit to dine on a table set in front. Room service provided excellent food with very professional waiters. The jacuzzi was an added pleasure in a well appointed bathroom. The pool was very accessible from building 10 as was the beach. The dining rooms had various themes which permitted you to vary the menu. The grounds were well groomed and attractively decorated. I am pleased to recommend George Tsapelas and his travel agency Reko Tours who represent superb hotels on all continents.

Hi Steve:
I wish to mention that our trip to Santo Domingo
and to the Barcelo Capella Resort was a great
experience. We arrived on March 7th and stayed at the Resort
until March 13th (Returned on March 13th).
We had our transfer to the Hotel and back to the
Airport without any problem and our stay at the
Resort was wonderful. The Hotel is very nice and clean. The rooms are
comfortable . The gardens are very well manicured and
the Personnel at the Hotel treat their guests like
Royalty. Service at the Restaurants was really good
and food was fine. They have done a very good job
at the beach and it was clean and the
environment was pleasant. We hope that we can come
back sometime soon!!!
With my thanks for the good service and best regards,

George,
We had a terrific time in Punta Cana at the Punta Cana Grand dates 3/16/2007 – 3/23/2007.
I am glad we took your recommendation and choose the Punta Cana Grand.
The hotel is well maintained. The room was very spacious and comfortable for me and my 3 teenagers – 19,16,15.
We loved the variety of cultures and countries in this hotel - many Europeans and many Canadians.
The food was great at the buffet and the restaurants. The service was very accommodating.
The beach was lovely and so were the 3 pools.
Your package was organized very well.
Your company did a great job with organizing our vacation.
I didn’t have to worry about the flights, transfers and the hotel. Everything was taken care off.
Thanks again for such a wonderful service.

Hi Vicky,.... just returned Thursday evening. Our trip was Wonderful!!!. The transfers were excellent, hotel's and tours just great. Your contact's in Peru were very, very good.
Machu Pichu and Cusco were wonderful. What an experience to have visited there. If you need me for a reference for anyone who would like to take this trip, I would be glad to give them inside info. (mostly referring to shopping, Machu Piccu, etc.).
Also, for your info, the weight you can carry in Peru on domestic flights is two bags p/p of 23 kilos each...( my husband says roughly 50 lbs per bag.) That was one of my problems, I didn't get the good buys in Machu Pichu because I thought I couldn't carry it on the plane, but when we got to the airport and checked with the flight attendant, she told us we could have brought more. That's what the flight attendant told us anyway. You might want to check on this to be exact. I know that conflicts with what someone told you about 25 lb check in on domestic flights within Peru.
