A Romantic Trip of Mr and Mrs Chang from Taiwan

As a travel mate that focuses on romantic and family trips, it's always been an honor to assist new wed couples whose desires are to have an ultimate romantic, yet adventurous, journey in Lombok.

We've been dealing with numerous couples and we'd like to share the romantic and adventurous journey of our latest clients, Mr and Mrs Chih Chang, from Taiwan.

They spent 5days 4nights, 2 nights in Gili Trawangan and 2 nights in Qunci Villas. We  had a great time discussing and arranging their trip. They shared their dreams and expectation and we did our best to make them happen and suggested an itinerary which they finally accepted after 2 months of discussion :-)

So here is a glimpse of their journey in Lombok. Enjoy!

Why You Should Use A Travel Consultant For Your Honeymoon

Planning a honeymoon while planning your wedding can definitely add extra burden and stress! 

Let us try to describe why you should use a travel consultant for arranging and preparing your honeymoon.

One of the first decisions couples face when planning their honeymoon is whether to use the services of a travel agent. A do-it-yourself approach may sound alluring and adventurous, especially if you have a preconceived notion of your honeymoon. However, going it alone may pan out more adventures than you signed up for!

We realize that wedding planning can be quite stressful and time consuming. We feel that planning a honeymoon should not be. We begin with an initial meeting with you.  Getting to know you helps us guide you through the entire honeymoon design and honeymoon planning process holding your hand every step of the way.

Like working with a bridal consultant, a travel consultant can offer you many perks. In addition to doing all of your booking (for accommodations, transportation, and anything else you'll need in advance), you will also benefit from the agent's globetrotting expertise and access to insider discounts. In many cases, agents can obtain better deals for you than even the most discounted travel websites, and in some cases, your agent will be able to get you package deals.

Think how you’d handle these situations:
    1.    A few days before the wedding, you get a call.  Your flight is cancelled, and you had booked your own air online.
    2.    You also have booked your own accommodation, transport, etc.
    3.    Furthermore, you didn’t know about travel insurance.

So NOW, you have to figure out who to call first, what to do.  

In any of these instances, the services of a travel agent would prove invaluable. You would not have to worry. Your travel consultant would make sure alternate arrangements are made. Despite what you may think, your travel agent will probably save you money compared to what you could book on your own. And, if this is the first big trip you’ve ever planned, you really need a travel consultant – things go wrong, airlines change schedules, natural disasters get in the way, you name it. 

I handle my clients’ travel arrangements directly, so if the resort they have reserved goes on sale, for example, I am notified and can match the sale price for them.

I can also help troubleshoot problems.

If there is a flight schedule change or cancellation, I can act right away to resolve the issue.

With an online booking site, you don’t get that personal service.

They don’t know you or anything about your trip

A travel consultant handle your travel arrangements directly, so if the resort you  have reserved goes on sale, for example, she will let you know. A consultant can also help troubleshoot problems. If there's a flight schedule change/cancellation, she can act right away to resolve the issue. One more thing is that with online booking sites, you don’t get that personal service. They don’t know you or anything about your trip.

So, now that you’ve decided you’d rather leave it to the experts, you need to find an expert – travel consultant, that is.

Many travel consultants, like us, require a nominal, nonrefundable deposit upfront. Don’t be discouraged by this policy. Often, it means you’re taken seriously, and your travel consultant will take her time in planning your honeymoon. Keep an open dialog with your travel consultant, and the end result is the perfect honeymoon for you.

Finally, keep your mind open to suggestions your travel agent may have.

More Sneak Peek To Qunci Villas

Whenever we have honeymooners approaching us and telling us that they want to have a honeymoon in Lombok, Qunci Villas will be the first we come up with. 

We couldn't agree more with Lonely Planet's Review which stated that it would be hard to find an equivalent hotel on Bali's coast and it's impossible to find one elsewhere on Lombok. Moreover, we nodded in agreement to its statement saying that the hotel is a destination in itself. 

Possessing Qozy Rooms, Luxurious Villas, 3 swimming pools, super comfortable and relaxing private beach and restaurants areas, and a complete Qamboja SPA facility, Qunci  is really hard to resist. Many people has chosen Qunci to tie the knot in their wedding ceremony.

Most of our clients who have had the budget or (thanks God, has listened to our suggestion) upgraded their honeymoon budget to be able to stay in Qunci Villas always go back home with a desire to come back to the romantic aura Qunci has.

Although Qunci is famous among the honeymooners, it is also a perfect place for a family or a bunch of friends who want to explore the untouchd Nature that Lombok has to offer and spend the nights in stylish Qunci Villas that offer minimalist luxury and a real-away-from-it-all vibe.

Scott Coffey, the owner of Qunci, has succeeded to combine luxury, laid back atmosphere, and untouched nature of Lombok.
