Cari was super helpful with our trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. She was very supportive with all of our needs and helped us pick the most perfect place that was exactly in our budget. She responded immediately anytime we had any questions, and even checked upon us throughout our trip, which was very reassuring. We were very thankful for Cari as she went out of her way multiple times for us to make our trip exactly how we planned it. I would highly recommend going through Cari Me Away travels with all of your traveling needs, and we will definitely be going through Cari with the rest of our future trips!
