This company is fraud. They steal money and never give back or keep booking as said. They show one property and give booking to another filthy property. They sold same date property to various customers. This is not real vacation rental provider. They give booking to VRBO and whimstay by showing their site over priced and no refund policy.
Response from Destinique TravelJun 30, 2026
This review is false and was posted by a former marketing contractor after his termination. It is retaliatory and does not come from an actual Destinique Travel guest or customer.
The individual who posted this did not book a stay with Destinique, did not pay Destinique for a vacation rental, and has no firsthand customer experience involving any property, reservation, refund, or guest stay.
Destinique Travel has been in business for over 11 years. We do not double-book properties, misrepresent listings, or move guests to different accommodations without disclosure and agreement.
We have reported this review to Trustpilot as a false, retaliatory review from a former contractor, not a legitimate consumer review.

Diane is pure gold
Diane is pure gold! She arranged a flawless escape that offered everything our family needed after the loss of my father. Both my husband and I had been working for years without a vacation, we were exhausted both emotionally and physically. I had no idea how to pick a condo! The more I looked the more pressure I felt to make sure everything was perfect. The last thing my family needed was a failed vacation. I knew immediately after speaking with Diane that things would be fine. She was incredibly sympathetic and seemed to understand exactly what we needed. She actually said to me,” I have a place other guests have returned to because it renews and restores.” I could not agree more. Our family stayed at Seabliss. As a family of four it felt more like we all had our own wing of the condo. The place is sprawling and configured such that my teens were able to play music and games without too much sound traveling into the general areas. Each of them had their own room with cute sofa, sitting area and bathroom which gave them the autonomy to relax in their own space. My husband and I took the master bedroom which was stunning! The wall to wall windows, vaulted ceiling and white decor give you an ethereal feeling. You can see the blue sky above and the blue sea below as you rest in the most heavenly bed. The bathroom has a lovely soaking tub with a large window overlooking the beach. Each morning I would soak while searching for pods of dolphins and trying to identify the pelicans and sea birds that flew overhead.
The general area is incredibly comfortable. Our family was able to stretch out on the couch to watch a movie on an enormous TV with excellent surround sound. The kitchen is beautiful! The counters are like jewelry ! Sparkling light green with veins of some gem…. Everything we needed was there and was top quality. The fridge was huge so no problem stocking it full for a family or two. There is also a great little wet bar with ice maker separate from the kitchen so your guests are not trying to make drinks while you are cooking. Diane checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and supplied us with a list of her favorite restaurants. The area has great food and shopping! The beach is superb- and having a private beach with cabana team to set you up and protect your privacy is amazing.
Diane was right, Seabliss is the full package. It offers luxury, privacy, and restoration. We cannot wait to return!

Marsha, Thank you so much for this beautiful review!
I remember our conversation and how important it was that this trip feel peaceful, easy, and restorative for your family. After everything you had been through, you deserved a place where you could simply exhale, relax and be together.
I am so grateful that Seabliss provided your family that kind of escape. It is a very special place to us, and hearing that it gave each of you room to rest, reconnect, and enjoy the beach in your own way is exactly why I love sharing it with guests.
We look forward to your next stay!
Warm Regards,
Diane

Diane and Cherie were very professional…
Diane and Cherie were very professional and were very flexible with my requests. They are not pushy and gave me time to decide on a vacation home. They followed up with me via text and email. Definitely will use Destinique Travel again!

Diane Bell and her team at Destinique…
Diane Bell and her team at Destinique Travel are THE go-to agency for all your travel needs… from the ease of planning through the execution of the trip! Diane makes sure that, not only all your needs are met, but that you are having a wonderful experience, as well. After listening to my cruise interests Diane selected a list of cruises with interesting stops and experiences during the dates we needed. The selections were all perfect! After deciding, Diane made sure we had all the amenities we requested, such as balcony rooms, the extra drink package and everything included in one price. Due to one of us being a little squeamish (not to mention any names) she made sure our rooms were center ship to avoid feeling any extra movement of the ship. Everything was wonderful and we experienced a great time! Diane checked on us during our cruise to make sure everything was going well and to offer her support if needed. I would not hesitate to use Diane and Destinique Travel for any future travel needs! In fact we are looking at taking another cruise in the fall! Not only is Diane and her team knowledgeable and dependable, but also saved us some money, as well! You can’t beat that!

I cannot say enough wonderful things…
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Diane Bell and the incredible team at Destinique Travel. I recently returned from the trip of a lifetime — a luxury cruise through Greece, Italy, Egypt, and several other amazing destinations with one of my dear friends of over 40 years — and hands down, it was one of the best vacations I have ever experienced.
From the very beginning, Destinique was exceptionally organized, attentive, and thoughtful in every detail. Diane recommended a luxury cruise line that absolutely exceeded all expectations. The cruise itself was incredible — beautiful destinations, wonderful excursions, amazing evening entertainment, outstanding service, and a stunning cabin that truly elevated the experience.
Diane and her team arranged upgraded accommodations, wonderful perks, and so many thoughtful surprises throughout the journey. When I arrived at my room, I was greeted with champagne and a beautiful welcome from Destinique that immediately made me feel special. Since I celebrated my birthday during the trip, Diane arranged birthday surprises that completely touched my heart — including birthday cakes not only on the ship, but also at my pre- and post-cruise hotels. She even arranged a wonderful dinner celebration for me. Every detail felt personal, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.
What truly sets Diane apart is her level of support and attention to detail. She provided excellent advice before the trip, including tips for European travel, how to pack light, and little things I would have never thought of on my own that made traveling so much easier and more enjoyable.
At one point my luggage was delayed by the airline, I worried that I would miss the cruise, and Diane was immediately there helping me sort through everything. Having that kind of support while traveling internationally gave me such peace of mind and reminded me why working with an experienced travel professional matters so much.
The entire experience felt seamless, luxurious, stress-free, and unforgettable. I am beyond grateful to Diane and the Destinique team for creating such meaningful memories for me and my friend.
I am already planning my next cruise to Alaska with Diane, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Destinique Travel to anyone looking for a truly special travel experience with exceptional service and VIP-level care.

Trustworthy with impeccable properties and service!
My partner and I have wanted to visit Destinique's Seabliss property for quite literally a decade plus. This year, we decided to bite the bullet and we booked a week. The property is unbelievable...especially given how long the current owner has owned it, everything (and I do mean everything) is top notch, like brand new, and just exquisite.
What sets Destinique apart is the people. We've been treated like royalty since booking. We arrived yesterday to find Holly, the concierge awaiting our arrival outside in front of the property. She was dressed to the nines and spent lots of time showing us around the property, orienting us with the countless amenities and luxuries of the property, making local recommendations. We had let her know a few hours in advance of our arrival that we were near, and exchanged some small talk, including my love for a bowl of cereal just before bed. To my great pleasure, the built in refrigerator was stocked with fresh milk, water, and just outside of it was a fresh box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (my favorite).
The champagne, the wonderful chocolates, the personal communication from the owner, and many other things cause me to know that this is a FIRST Rate operation. I will very happily do business with them again and again.

David, thank you so much for this wonderful review. It truly means a lot.
I am so happy you finally made it to Seabliss after all these years and that it lived up to what you hoped it would be. We love this property so much, and it makes me so happy when guests feel the care that goes into it.
I’m also thrilled Holly made your arrival special!
Thank you again for choosing Destinique and Seabliss. We look forward to your next stay!
Warm regards,
Diane

Destin by Destinique…
Destinique found my group an amazing house with all the bells and whistles and it was steps from the beach! They were extremely attentive and helpful, checking in with me several times during the trip to make sure everything was good and to see if we needed anything. Would highly recommend and will definitely use them again!
