Fellow Club Med GM's
Our trip was a hair’s width of not even happening due to Air Canada. It’s a long story, but to summarize, AC wouldn’t let us on the plane in Toronto until my son got medical clearance from one of their doctors – and they weren't’ available until after take-off. They denied it had anything to do with autism and were just following procedures for any medical condition. We left a desperate message at 6:30 am to our travel agent Nathalie at Margarita Travel. Since she’s based in Calgary it was 4:30 am her time... we didn’t expect a call back. BUT SHE DID!!! She had a lengthy chat with the AC manager – and in the end we were let on the plane. Moral of the story – don’t tell Air Canada you have a child with special needs, and if you are going to Club Med – book with Nathalie, unless you can find another travel agent that will call you back at 4:30 am. She knows everything about Club Med and many GOs personally. You will not find anyone else who is as knowledgeable about Club Med.

Nathalie when we met you in Punta Cana I have to say you are exactly the same in real life. After dealing with from LLoyd's Travel and out of luck finding you again in the Club Med scene was just pure luck! It was great meeting you and your husband you really are the life of the party and a Club Med legend.

Hey GM's!
**I booked my travel through a Canadian travel agency called Margarita Travel, and Nathalie, the owner really made the trip more special, requesting a nicer room with a view for our honeymoon, etc. Plus, it was more than $500 less to book through her as opposed to a US travel agency (and the dollar exchange helped too!). Look 'em up on the Internet if you're going, working with her I've made a friend and been put so at ease!!

Club Med GM's! I have been going on Club Med vacations for a number of years. And I usually will go on 2 or 3 of them each year. Over the course of these years of CM travel, I have used a few different travel agents, and even booked straight through Club Med at first. I ended up trying out Margarita Travel the next time, and I am so happy I did!! I have to say, in COMPLETE HONESTY, Margarita Travel has to be the best of all of them! Nathalie is efficient, professional, nice and has great deals. She is more of a friend that helps to book your trip than just a travel agent! I know that she's helped people with very unique requests, and has gone out of her way to make sure that anyone who books through her has the best CM vacation that she has the power to provide!! I would definitely suggestion checking her out and having her book your next Club Med vacation!!! You won't be disappointed!

I have to say working with Margarita Travel on our Club Med Vacation was the best thing I have ever done booking a holiday. Nathalie I am so glad that we found you! You really are a Club Med Specialist - However we call it a KNOW-IT-ALL!

I honestly did not think that you would help us when we didn't even book our vacation with you. There we were STUCK not able to extend our vacation and we thought we were going home in 3 days. God sent us these wonderful people at the same dinner table with us telling us how wonderful you are. We had a great time the 2nd week and thank you for all you help. You have a client for life!

When I went to book the trip though Club Med, the agents seemed to be reading the website while they were talking to me. I called several times and got contradictory information. I ended up booking through Nathalie at Margarita Travel. Not only did she actually know a lot about the resort and was incredibly helpful but she also got us a great price.
