Do I have to book with Passport Travelers Agency??
Yes, we request that all guests only utilize our dedicated planner and travel coordinators at Passport Travelers Agency.

Additionally, Passport Travelers Agency has flexible payment plans, making your travel arrangements even more affordable and convenient. If you've ever tried to contact an online travel company to make changes or cancellations, you'll appreciate the benefit of using a local, boutique travel agency (especially during times of uncertainty).
Can I upgrade my room?
Absolutely! As long as the resort has availability for your travel dates. If you wish to book a different room category, please indicate your desired room on your reservation form. Passport Travelers Agency will contact you with pricing and next steps.
​
What if my potential travel companion (roomie) is TBD, unknown at this time, or not ready to book?
Time waits for no one :) Book without them and add them to your reservation at a later time. Since prices and availability are subject to change, be sure to reserve the room for just yourself and we can add them when they are ready. Solo occupancy hotel rates are sometimes higher than double occupancy. When we add your travel companion in the future, you'll recognize the double occupancy savings. Rates are refreshed at the time future changes are made.
