Why Work with a travel advisor?

We’re more than planners — we’re your dedicated partner.
We guide every detail of your journey, answer your questions, and ensure your travels unfold seamlessly. We are not a call center — we are real people who know you, your preferences, and the nuances that matter most.

VIP Benefits & Exclusive Perks

Our clients receive unparalleled VIP treatment at the world’s most prestigious luxury properties, including daily gourmet breakfast, priority for room upgrades, exclusive resort credits, and personalized amenities.

Through our preferred partnerships, your reservation is recognized with true VIP status — often exceeding what’s available through credit card programs or online platforms.

Most importantly, these benefits elevate the investment you’re already making. When you’re choosing exceptional hotels, your experience should reflect that. We ensure every stay delivers added value, thoughtful recognition, and enhanced comfort — without additional cost.

Expert Knowledge & Insider Access

Instead of spending hours researching hotels -only to wonder if you chose the right one — we curate the very best on your behalf.

Through long-standing industry relationships and trusted global partners, we uncover exceptional properties and hidden gems you won’t find in a simple search.

Beyond hotels, we open doors to private guides, exclusive tastings, and experiences thoughtfully tailored to you, not mass-market tours.

Peace of Mind

Luxury is not just about where you stay — it’s about how supported you feel.

When plans shift, when special requests matter, when details need to be handled quietly and efficiently — we are your advocate. You don’t wait on hold. You don’t navigate issues alone.

From the first conversation to your return home, we ensure every element is handled with care, discretion, and intention — so you can simply enjoy the journey.

  • Where you are hoping to go / what you are hoping to experience on this trip (and if you don't quite know where you want to go yet - we will figure that out!)

  • How you and your travel companions like to travel

  • Your travel history

  • Additional interests that can be woven into your trip: viticulture, gastronomy, adventure experiences, etc.

  • Our planning services and what aligns best with your travel needs

The fun part! Depending upon your trip needs, we will collaborate on the perfect itinerary for your trip, based on your timeframe, priorities, and budget.

Once the proposal is approved, we'll make all necessary reservations. You’ll receive all confirmations along with a complete digital itinerary

We’ll fine-tune the remaining details of your trip including travel insurance, dining reservations, and spa treatments. Together, we'll ensure every aspect of your journey is carefully crafted to meet your needs and exceed your expectations.

7-10 days prior to your departure, you will receive a final digital itinerary to take with you on your travels.

05. Bon Voyage!

Your trip is finally here and now you can relax and enjoy knowing we have taken care of every detail. We’re available during your trip for any last minute questions or unforeseen issues.

Frequently asked questions

  • No, it doesn’t! Samantha Rose Travel is compensated directly by our travel partners, so you pay the same rate whether booking directly or through us.

    Currently, we do not charge planning fees for our Fully Customized Itinerary service. We only ask that, once we reach the proposal stage, you are committed to moving forward with booking to honor our partnership and the time invested in creating your personalized experience.

  • If you’re interested in flight booking assistance, our SmartFlyer Air Team offers personalized support for a $100 per person fee. We provide expert guidance to help you select the most convenient and comfortable flights, and include 24/7 client support to handle any changes or cancellations—so you can say goodbye to endless hold times and airline frustration.

  • Unfortunately at this time, we are not able to book flights, hotels or touring using miles or points. If you would like to book using miles, we suggest you handle booking flights on your own to free up budget for the rest of the trip.

    We can however, attach any loyalty numbers to your flight tickets or hotel bookings when possible so that you still accrue points.
