My love of travel started at a young age. Family road trips across the country and vacations in Hawaii is where it all began. After starting a family, we traveled frequently to the beach, Disney, and many places near and far. My husband and I also traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe. In early 2023 I left my corporate accounting career, which allowed me to focus on my traveling clients and seeing more of the world for myself. My adventures included Thailand, Maui, Walt Disney World, Puerto Vallarta, Curacao, Jamaica, Vancouver, Alaska & Amsterdam. 2024 began i...

5-stars! Anne helped me find a place for a long weekend getaway with my husband. She listened to the details I was looking for and suggested The Hideaway at Royalton. We really enjoyed the stay. It was exactly what I was looking for when I set out on planning the trip, but Iâve never been to an all inclusive or Jamaica so I wouldnât have found it without her. The property was beautiful and the view from our room was spectacular. We really enjoyed the buffet dining room. The steak there was every bit as good as the steak we had at the steakhouse.
-Leslie M.
We had such an amazing experience in Costa Rica, thanks to Anne! She was nothing but great and super helpful with all of our questions and concerns. We were traveling international for the first time and she made the process very easy! We canât wait to book our next one!
-Gabbi R.
We recently went to the UK and Anne King at Vincent Vacations was invaluable in arranging our trip. Our flights were great, the accommodations were comfortable and centrally located to all we planned to do. Our tours were exactly what we wanted. Our private transport from the airport to the hotel and the hotel back to the airport were on time and personable. We will definitely use Vincent Vacations for our next big trip.

As a travel advisor, I visit several resorts each year, and Secrets Vallarta Bay stands out for its blend of luxury, service, and location. Here are my top five favorite things about this adults-only, all-inclusive gem in Puerto Vallarta.
My Top 5 Favorite Things About Secrets Vallarta Bay

If youâve ever been to Mauiâor are planning your very first vacation to this beautiful Hawaiian islandâyou may have heard about the iconic Mamaâs Fish House.
Located on the north shore of Maui in Paia, Hawaii, Mamaâs Fish House is about 20 minutes from Kahului Airport and sits right at the beginning of the famous Road to Hana. If you're staying in Wailea, expect about a 45-minute drive. If you're based in Kaâanapali, plan for roughly an hour on the road.
Mamaâs Fish House got its start in the 1960s, thanks to the Christenson family and their first trip to Maui. When they opened the restaurant at its current location in 1973, most dining options on the island were steakhouses. They wanted guests to know that they served primarily fish. Not only fish, but LOCAL fish. Soon after, a loyal following began, and now some 50 years later, the restaurant is not only iconic, but very popular, and in my opinion worth a visit.
Over the past 50 years, Mamaâs has developed a loyal following and has become one of Mauiâs most popular and iconic restaurants.
We visited Mamaâs most recently in February 2025. We were lucky enough to snag a reservation at 2:20 p.m. Â about a week before our arrival. Typically, reservations fill up six months in advance, so be sure to book yours as soon
I recommend a reservation before the sun goes down. The area is so beautiful, you wonât want to miss seeing any of it. I also recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your reservation. Photo opportunities are endless, and you donât want to feel rushed.
Something you need to know ahead of time. Mamaâs Fish House is expensive. Dining anywhere in Hawaii is going to be a bit pricey, but youâll need to find a little extra in your budget for a meal here. Our meal (two people) came to $300 including tip. We each enjoyed:  A mocktail, appetizer,  main dish, and we shared a dessert. We didnât splurge on the most expensive items but didnât hold back either.
Many people might gasp at the costâand understandably soâbut if you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a truly memorable and upscale Hawaiian dining experience, Mamaâs is absolutely worth the splurge.
3 of My Favorite Things About Mama's Fish House
*The fish is incredibly fresh and delicious. The menu is printed daily and adjusted for the catches they received that day. They tell you exactly where the fish was caught. The chefs really know what they are doing. Everything is cooked to perfection and presented in impeccable fashion. My all-time favorite dish is the fish collar. Think of it like a seafood version of bone-in chicken wings. It varies depending on what they catch, and always delicious.
*The service is always impeccable. Starting with the valets, and all the way through dessert, everyone is always friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Our server even knew that paprika is a form of bell pepper when discussing food allergies!
*The setting is as Hawaiian as you can get. From the minute you step out of the car, it feels a bit like youâve been transported back in time to a very special Aloha era. The beach, the building, the dĂŠcor, and the historical memorabilia are all worth savoring. So, take your time and enjoy it all.
Is Mamaâs Fish House worth it? Absolutely.
Itâs a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience that captures the heart and spirit of Mauiâperfect for a special night out during your Hawaiian vacation.
If you have any other questions about Mamaâs Fish House or traveling to Maui, Iâd love to hear from you!

Why use a travel advisor when traveling during hurricane season?
I am currently sitting on my hotel room in Clearwater, Florida. We were supposed to be in Jamaica right now, but Hurricane Beryl is headed for a direct hit. So...we changed our plans. (The biggest red island in the picture is Jamaica--currently under a hurricane warning.)
But that's not the point of this post.
I have clients in Cancun right now. (See the pink line on the map, which is currently a hurricane watch for The Yucatan.) They arrived on Sunday and have been having a fabulous time as a family. They are supposed to leave for home on Friday...the same day Hurricane Beryl is supposed to hit the Cancun area.
My clients were wise and purchased travel insurance. If they do face cancellations or long delays, their additional expenses will be reimbursed. Knowing that is helping them to be proactive.
As the storm's path has been developing, I've been watching. This morning, while they are enjoying their vacation, I booked them new flights home on Saturday. They now have a guaranteed way home if things get dicey on Friday and their original flights get canceled. Flights are always the hardest part in situations like these. We will get them an extra night at the hotel when we know more.
If they are able to leave as scheduled, they will have flight credit to use on future travel. If they get stuck, they have flights home and won't have to wait in endlessly long lines at the Cancun airport.
All this done while they enjoy a snorkel trip as a family. They aren't scrambling trying to figure things out. I'm sure there is some stress regarding the unknown, but for now, they are OK.
This is what I do as your travel advisor. Even when I'm on vacation myself!
Lessons from this experience?Â
