avatar

Magic 100.1 from New Jersey just got back from a week at Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun in Riviera Maya Mexico.

Glenn Kalina, who has been a radio fixture in the tri – state region for many years, travelled with The Magic Morning Show with Diane De Oliviera down to Riviera Maya.

They broadcasted live each morning from the lobby of Now Sapphire. They also got to experience a true Apple Vacation at Now Sapphire by enjoying the amazing pool, great beach, spectacular restaurants and relaxing spa services. The Magic Morning show were even treated to the Tulum Xtreme Tour where they zip-lined and visited the ruins courtesy of our friends at Amstar Resorts. 

If you are in the area make sure to tune in to the station, over the next few months they will be giving away trips to Now Sapphire Riviera Cancun so that some lucky listeners will be able to have the same great experience.

Apple Vacations has perfected the art of the “complete” vacation experience. We have taken care of every step of the vacation experience, so you don’t have to! We call it the Apple Advantage! 

There are other operators, that once you book your vacation with them, they are done.  Rest assured, when you book with Apple Vacations, we provide service beyond the booking. We are there every step of the way to ensure your vacation is the one you planned. How do we do it?

Apple Vacations has representatives (either airline staff at check-in, or Apple Reps in resort) at each of the airports where our exclusive leisure flights depart. Upon arrival, you’ll be met by our friends at Amstar, a division of Apple Vacations serving as our resort representatives, who will transport you to your hotel. These Apple Reps can recommend excursions to take, places to visit, or help with most any other need you may have while in resort.  Most importantly, the reps are there when you need them for any unforeseen circumstances as well.  

I’ve told this story before, but it is worth repeating. When Hurricane Wilma hit a few years back, I was worried because I had a TOP radio station executive in Riviera Maya, where the eye of the storm had stalled. We were in communication with our Apple Reps to ensure all Apple Vacations passengers were taken care of. But I could not reach him directly. Upon his return, I received an enormous thank you from him stating that he will never travel with anyone but Apple Vacations ever again. The Apple passengers were personally taken care of during the storm, and were the first to be evacuated from Cancun, several days ahead of other passengers who booked online or with other tour operators. He said he felt like a “Rock Star” traveling with Apple because of the priority service the Apple passengers received.

Another example is from a passenger who had to unexpectedly cut his trip short. “…during our vacation, we booked our excursions with Gabbie.  After we made our plans, we got a call to come home for an emergency. The Apple Rep, Benjamin, was early and talked to us until Gabbie arrived. He advised her of our problem.  Gabbie was on the phone unwinding our plans and calling to make arrangements for a return flight home. In less than an hour, our vacation plans were unwound, our flight home and transportation to the airport was booked, and she even contacted AVOK “trip protection” to start the ball rolling on our claim. We cannot say enough of how professional she was, and everything she did was so greatly appreciated. Thanks to your Reps at the resorts and the jobs they do.”

Apple Vacations has been in business for 40 years. When you travel with Apple Vacations, rest assured you are traveling with an experienced vacation company who is there for you every step of the way! It’s the Apple Advantage!

Non-Stop Transfers – a way to start your Apple Vacation right away!

As soon as I get to my vacation destination, I like to hit the ground running! The best way to start my vacation, as soon as possible, is to get to the resort right away. I ALWAYS choose non-stop transfers. It’s part of the Apple Advantage!   You can advise your travel agent you want this option, or select it at the time of booking.

Another option, to receive non-stop transfers, is to book a resort that automatically offers them. On my last vacation to Riviera Maya, I stayed at Now Jade Riviera Cancun. When you book Now Resorts & Spas with Apple Vacations, non-stop transfers are included! We were out of the terminal and on the road in no time and at the hotel in less than 30 minutes.

When booking your next vacation, look for Now Resorts & Spas, Dreams Resorts & Spas, Secrets Resorts & Spas or Zoetry Wellness & Spa Resort, as they offer non-stop transfers!

Transfers – an Apple Advantage!

When you book an Apple Vacation to Mexico or the Caribbean, your receive resort transfers. It’s part of the Apple Advantage! Why is this so important? When you get off the airplane in your resort destination, all you have to do is look for the flowered shirts. They will assist with your luggage and escort you to the transportation awaiting you. You are then transported to your resort via motor coach or van with air-conditioning by professional drivers. There’s no need to worry once you’ve arrived. You don’t have to find a van or find a taxi, and concern yourself with paying the correct rate, and exchanging money – Apple Vacations has it all taken care of for you!

On a flight to Cancun a few years ago, I heard the woman behind me say at least 10 times that she was worried about getting to the hotel. She was a first timer, and a single traveler, on an Apple Vacation. The person in the seat next to her assured her that if she looked for the flowered shirts upon arrival, she would be fine. I travel often enough and know what to expect but there are many first timers who may not. To show how easy it is I gave my then six year old the task of finding the flowered shirts for the transfer. He may be a little more of a seasoned traveler than an average six year old, but if he can find them so easily – so can you!
