MEET SARAH!
We wanted to take a moment and have our newest member at Thirsty for Travel Designs introduce herself:
Hello, friends! My name is Sarah Brady (the one with the Santa hat) and I have the pleasure of being the Client Care Coordinator for Thirsty for Travel Designs! I’m so excited to get to work with you and help create trips that you’ll remember for years to come.
As for me, most of my favorite trips revolve around a beach and warm weather! Most recently, my husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary on the beautiful island of Curacao. We love vacationing with family and friends to places like Isle of Palms, SC, Jamaica and one of our favorites, Costa Rica! We’ve enjoyed the Pura Vida lifestyle Costa Rica has to offer on three different occasions and a fourth trip is in the future for sure!
Besides travelling, I enjoy concerts and comedy shows with my husband and spending time with our five kids and extended family. I enjoy working out when I can and putting my slightly green thumb to use in the spring and summer in my garden and flower beds. Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little bit about me! I look forward to working with you!
Sarah has been training and working behind the scenes for the past few months at T4T and comes to us with a strong background in marketing and management.
Welcome “officially” to the team, Sarah…we (and our clients) are so lucky to have you!
Who Doesn’t Love VIP Status Perks???
Did you know that we offer complimentary hotel only bookings?
We get it…not every trip needs our full-time travel planning services. However, we love passing on the amazing perks that you can get when booking one of our preferred hotel partners through us.
Can you book it direct? Absolutely (and most do) but we are here to let you in on one ingredient of our ‘secret sauce’…you pay the exact same (if not more) if you book it direct AND you don’t get the VIP Status Perks.
No extra charges, no hidden fees…just added VIP Status Perks for booking with one of the hotel’s trusted travel advisors (yours truly).
So what exactly are the VIP Status Perks?
They do vary widely based on each hotel but in general, they include daily breakfast, resort credit, free room upgrades and so much more.
Here are some great examples of VIP Status Perks that we were able to secure for our clients just in the past month:
✅ Confirmed Ocean View Room Upgrade Upon Booking For 2 Rooms
✅ $250 direct savings from a hotel promotion
✅ One free night at a 5 star Virtuoso property (equal to $1,000 in savings)
✅ Confirmed Connecting Rooms Upon Booking
✅ Free Daily Breakfasts
✅ $100 resort credit per room
✅ Birthday Cake & Room Decorations for a 50th Birthday
