What service do you use to book vacation packages?
1My wife and I want to go on vacation to somewhere tropical and all-inclusive. I'm very hesitant about using internet travel agents like Travel by Jen and Vacation Express. There are too many horror stories, the vacations seem good for the most part but the agents are non responsive and often rude with considerable mistakes being made.
We're not picky about where it is ideas so far have been Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican but really we want to go somewhere interesting for a great price, not an amazing-to-good-to-be-true-because-it-is price that comes with lots of catches and upgrade fees and tiny print, but a good price with a company that helps to kill some of the stress of travel. What services have you used to book a vacation package? Any help or suggestions fro destinations would be much appreciated.

I can't give super in-depth info since I wasn't the one that booked the trip, but for my dad's upcoming 50th birthday my mom put together a family trip for us to Puerto Vallarta through Costco. I actually found the deal here but there are plenty of other packages to look through there.
www.travelzoo.com has some pretty great deals. I once got round trip tickets from Dallas to Paris for $383 per person. You've got to be a bit flexible with when you're willing to go typically but I haven't found deals like that anywhere else.
I like cheapcarribean.com, travelzoo, and sherman's deals. Also, both fly.com and www.google.com/flights are amazing at finding cheap flights if you're flexible.
