Any recs for a travel agent? Looking for an all inclusive in the Caribbean for two at the end of February budget is $6K total including flights. I want to avoid any destinations with sargassum and Mexico due to safety concerns. If anyone has recs on this, TIA.

Why would you need an agent? You can copy and paste what you wrote in chat gpt or google

Chat GPT leaves a lot to be desired when price shopping, a good agent is worth their weight in gold.

Look on Reddit groups. There are spreadsheets out there with every resort you can filter on price, ratings, amenities. Great resource when I took my family on a trip last year.

Yeah they also have a vested interest in getting you to go places where they get kickbacks lol. Maybe I’m a pessimist but I’m perfectly capable of planning a trip on my own and not being forced into hotels and activities so someone else can get paid

I always use a travel agent. Costs nothing and I get access to her knowledge. Don’t have to follow it but it is nice to hear another opinion. I find her invaluable for things like airport car service overseas and car services in general (traveled through south of Spain using drivers to get to cities without good rail service). She provides less value for all inclusive type trips but I still use her because, again, it doesn’t cost me anything and I can call her when I have issues.

There is no need for travel agents anymore unless you are going on like a luxurious 10-20k+ vacation over multiple weeks and you don’t want to spend any time planning anything.

Just use ChatGPT or your preferred LLM. One of their biggest use cases is travel planning.

In regards to Mexico any spot that is a tourist destination is safe.
