Travel Plans - Testimonials
At Private Trade Winds, we are extremely proud of customer service and our long-term client relationships. Below is a small sampling of what our clients say about us…
Undoubtedly one of the most organized trips we have ever taken. Private Trade Winds thinks of all the details! AMAZING – our family continues to enjoy the fascinating places that PTW recommends without disappointment. This trip was a bonding experience with nature. Even the large comic looking raccoons and anteaters would greet us nightly for dinner! The kids screamed with joy and played daily at the private beach enjoying a new water sport ever day. We felt so safe because this small resort occupied the whole natural cove. It was like a movie or a dream – the water was crystal clear and very peaceful. A private dock allowed everyone to fish and snorkel – such amazing fish. The villa was breathtaking and extremely spacious which we enjoyed with friends. Food, fun and laughter all day long and amazing dinners on the beach, BBQ at home and even a yacht trip to see the amazing Costalegre coast, which we were unfamiliar with. We were only gone for 4 nights but it felt like a week of heaven! Can’t wait for the next adventure. Dr. & Dr. Kermani
Private Trade Winds has given us the opportunity to travel in villas with confidence. We are very particular about hotel expectations and would not travel in villas unless we were able to have the same amenities and service. Private Trade Winds showed us how to do that, accommodating everyone's needs in the family. Over the past 5 years, we have taken numerous villa vacations and love them all for immediate family trips and for couple's trips as well. Some of our favorites include traveling to Hawaii and Aspen. The 3 bedroom villa at Hualalai is the best option for our family because it has an amazing location, service and the amenities of a Four Seasons Resort while allowing us to enjoy the beautiful, spacious accommodation of a villa. The views from the living area is spectacular, and my husband and I love to sit out on the balcony with a glass of our favorite wine at the end of the day and feel completely relaxed. You will love staying at this property! > If you're looking for a great, all-around ski destination with your family, you will love Snowmass in Aspen. Our favorite is a ski-in/ski-out, privately owned condo with all the top level attention to service and amenities that a 5 star hotel would provide, with spacious, designer oriented accommodations. No need to sacrifice what we are accustomed to at home. Most importantly, Snowmass is truly incredible as you can ski with your family during the day and still enjoy the night-life of Aspen town in the evening. Thanks Private Trade Winds – you have shown us a great travel lifestyle! Mr. & Mrs. Etchandy
Long before Private Trade Winds became a reality, we were exposed to the founder’s vision over 10+ years ago. Call us some of the early “test clients” because we were and we loved the excitement of trying each new location. Never disappointed with the recommendations, we soon became addicted to the lifestyle and countless memories we developed with our family and friends. We continue to enjoy all the great recommendations that Private Trade Winds offers us. Each with amazing service and style. Aside from the great villa options worldwide, we really enjoy the travel service because our travel advisor manages and redeems our frequent flier points, assists with hotel recommendations when villas are not needed or available, handles all of our transportation and we get full service concierge help as well. It’s a true value proposition. Mr. & Mrs. Compean
“My family and I recently had the privilege to enjoy a memorable vacation at your KoOlina property, and I want to express our gratitude to each of you for such a blessing. We all had an incredible week filled with fun, relaxation and laughter. A week we will all remember with joy! Thank you to each of you who helped organize our families vacation at KoOlina. Please know that your expertise did not go unnoticed nor unappreciated. We are so grateful for all that was done on our families behalf to make our vacation perfect….because it truly was!” Mr. Byron & Mr. Frances Trane
My husband, Chris and I spent our honeymoon at Ko’Olina, Oahu, Hawaii. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip, we’ll cherish it for the rest of our lives! I loved it so much, I cried when I had to go home! The condo was beautiful and Private Trade Winds even made sure we had our groceries stocked when we arrived. We spent hours enjoying the lagoon, snorkeling and chatting with Moon, the bartender at the beach bar while he strummed the ukulele. Every night, we watched the sunset from our patio overlooking the lagoon, it was a perfect honeymoon! It was our first trip with Private Trades Winds and we are looking forward to many more in the future! Mrs. Greta Heath, PTW Client
“Private Trade Winds worked diligently to find the best rates available and arranged over-the-top service for my family. They even kept track of my frequent flyer miles. No detail was left out, from getting us to the airport, to finding qualified sitters and fabulous restaurants. This is the only way to travel!” Mr. John Billon
“The home at Hualalai is fabulous and the people everywhere at the resort are only too happy to accommodate! When we entered the home the lights were on for us, Hawaiian music was softly playing and there was a beautiful floral arrangement on the kitchen counter... a lovely welcome!” Mrs. Lisa Chavos
“Location, property, room, amenities, and staff were all excellent. My wife and I travel a lot and we never stayed at a place so luxurious before. In addition, this is a place where you and a loved one should escape to and decompress from life’s troubles. The serenity of Cabo is the perfect place to just relax and enjoy nature’s natural pleasures. Thank you for giving my wife and I treasured memories.” Mr. Calderon
“The condo and the resort were fabulous. The people were great and everything went very smoothly regarding our reservations as well as transportation to and from the airport. All in all it was a wonderful vacation and I would recommend your services to others. In fact, I am interested in booking the same condo again.” Mrs. Marge Fitch
“Thank you! The property was wonderful and the weekend was perfect! The unit had everything we could ask for.” Mr. Larkin
