UPDATE: Feeling…read morerather frustrated that I had just been taken, I decided to make the hour drive there and find out what was going on in person. After finally locating the physical address (which was just a door and a doorbell with a sticker in the window) I rang the doorbell and someone came down the stairs. I explained the situation to her and told her I was quite upset with the fact I had not received any communications whatsoever.. She went back upstairs and was able to print off the details of the trip for me. I was told there was an Email glitch when I placed my reservation, which is why I never received any detailed information. I have also called American Airlines to verify my bookings, and they are there. so maybe I wasn't scammed after all, but I will agree that they are very lacking in the customer service department. Customers that have paid thousands of dollars should at least be able to speak to someone, which was my main frustration and the reason I was thinking I was scammed. I will see how my trip goes, and report back accordingly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Really beginning to feel ripped off. I have booked a vacation through All Inclusive Outlet, after they were recommended by a friend. I have paid my vacation in full (over $2700.00) and haven't heard a thing other than the automated "thank you for your purchase" email. -This was almost a month ago. I have had ZERO communication since purchase I had a few questions about the trip and documents, so I tried to call them. - sat on hold for OVER an hour, no answer. I have now tried calling SEVERAL times, only to be placed on hold by the automated phone system.. I have also tried Emailing them at Booking-help@allinclusiveoutlet.com - as the wonderful hold music instructs you to do, and have gotten ZERO REPLIES. I am currently on hold right now, 24 minutes in... yep. feeling pretty screwed. Luckily I live in Kentucky, and Georgetown is not that far of a drive. Might go visit in person.. Their website also states "When your vacation has been paid in full and you are within 180 days of travel, you will receive an email from our supplier, Travel Impressions, with your travel documents attached." I have never been contacted by "Travel Impressions". I have 56 days until departure - STILL NO COMMUNICATION I have heard nothing. Nada. Zero. Zilch. Feeling quite scammed.

Extremely disappointed, do not recommend All Inclusive Outlet or Travel Impressions their supplier…read more We booked a trip to Iberostar Playa Mita using All Inclusive Outlets/ Travel Impressions-which we have used many times, we are repeat customers. All advertising on their websites said the resort we were staying at last month was a 4.5-5 star hotel and when we got to the resort it was clearly not a luxury resort- it was a 2.5 star resort being generous with the scores. We have been to many all inclusive resorts in Mexico- Le Blanc, Hard Rock, Palace Resorts, Secrets and have never had concerns like this before. The resort it's self was falling apart, tiles were broken and cut my daughter's knee in the kids pool, crabs in our hotel room and bathrooms and also not very clean, our hotel room was 2 doors next to an open construction zone (could hear power drills, hammers, there was a ton of dust all between the hours of 8 am- 5 pm never stopping) they also had no barrier up to block off that area from guests and the dust which was everywhere it was an active construction zone. All the floors near the ocean view rooms have construction on every floor so moving rooms or trying to change anything while we were there wasn't an option, Will note the hotel staff offered to move us, however we paid for an ocean front view and every floor with an ocean view had the same construction situation and noise- They offered us spa as well, the spa had cat poop outside the spa, and was not in good conditions. What we wanted was what we paid for- a 4.5-5 star hotel and the dining options that was described on All Inclusive website. We had to go out to other hotels daily for lunch meals and spent over $800 just on lunches additional to the cost of what we spent with Iberostar, to keep both our son safe from his food allergies and also to have some sort of variety to enjoy our vacation. The outside of resort facing the ocean looked super run down, chipping paint and online the photos it looks beautiful- it's probably photos from 10 plus years ago. False advertising, the dining options for every meal besides dinner is all buffet and even for dinner, all appetizers are buffet. So do not go if you are expecting a menu sit down meal. Piles of dirt left in hallways for days, dirty cups, cat or animal poop in hallways to stairs. We are used to paying a similar price for a resort like this and having options for lunch (besides buffet they had pre made hot dogs and hamburgers on a warmer outside wrapped in foil- how is that 4.5-5 star??) Not to mention we have a son with anaphylactic allergies so the way it as described online as having one buffet option and 4 restaurants we felt comfortable with as we were going to avoid buffet because of cross contamination- that was not an option as everything was buffet but dinner and even that there was an element of buffet. They were allowing tour buses filled with hundreds of guests to arrive daily so it's super filled, lines for breakfast so we had to wake up by 7 am unless we wanted to wait long lines to eat and higher risk of cross contamination for our son with food allergies. Both Travel Impressions and All Inclusive Outlet falsely advertised this hotel as being a 4.5-5 star hotel and was priced as such , and would never use them again, they have terrible customer service and do not trust them to book travel again, they have done nothing besides send an email to Iberostar regarding this trip and copy and pasted what they said back to them. I would make sure you book directly with the resort and not use these non credible websites, they even gave me contact information to reach out to the incorrect hotel group ownership about my concerns, they really are not knowledgeable and would not recommend anyone using them for your vacation travel.

A very beautiful and peaceful experience through the area on the railroad tracks. The area was taken care of and I had no complaints. While waiting for the people in front of you to start, there are big umbrellas provided on the bikes for when you're waiting in the sun. (Very helpful, we used ours!) The bike has a motor so you aren't using your own muscle power, and one person is assigned the brakes and overall pedal power. I recommend assigning the best fit person to operate the bike as they'll power the bike the most. They offer 2 seaters and 4 seaters, I had a 4 seater. The front seat pedals don't move the bike much, but its still fun to ride! I would love to visit again and/or visit their other locations! 100% recommend!

We gathered with the other guests, warming up in the office before heading out. For us humans, the weather was a bit much, but the horses absolutely loved it. One thing that really impressed me was how interactive the experience was. We weren't limited to standing behind a fence--we were able to feed the horses carrots and admire them up close. It made the visit feel personal and unforgettable. About halfway through, we stopped in the barn to watch a short film about the farm's history and mission--an informative (and very welcome!) break from the snow. Afterward, we ventured back out to meet the remaining horses. Despite the chilly weather, we had a wonderful time. If you love animals or just want a unique, heartfelt experience, this tour is absolutely worth it.

OMGosh, I'm ecstatic over this cheese!! I was visiting Lexington last weekend and was so excited…read moreto find a street fair happening near my hotel on Saturday morning. One of the booths was Boone Creek Creamery. Since I love cheese, I had to indulge and buy myself some! I love hot and spicy, so two of the flavors I got were "Sassy" (Sharp Cheddar with peppercorn and red pepper) and "Habanero" (Sharp White Cheddar with Habanero Peppers). Sassy was unexpectedly wonderful. Rather than hitting the tongue with heat, the heat was more in the back of the mouth and throat and lingered. No too much, but not too little either. Delicious. The Habanero on the other hand, exploded with heat from the initial bite. This one didn't hold back, it was full-on HOT! Way too often things that advertise Habanero try to be delicate... this cheese was not delicate in any way. It was HAWT!! And I'm a huge fan!! My third block is Blueberry White Cheddar. I haven't had any of it yet, but I have no doubt it will be epic! This was such a pleasant unexpected find. If you are in Lexington and like cheese... check them out. You won't be disappointed!!

The Mary Todd Lincoln House is a beautifully preserved window into the early life of a complex First Lady and the turbulent times she lived through. We opted for the guided tour, and it was absolutely the right choice. Phillip was our guide, and he didn't just recite facts. He gave perspective. Thoughtful, objective, and deeply knowledgeable, he handled the complicated dynamics of a slave-owning border state with grace and clarity. He was also incredibly kind in his portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln, helping us see her not as a caricature, but as a layered, resilient, and deeply human figure. Each room is meticulously curated. Not every item was original to the Todd or Lincoln families, but everything was period appropriate and helped tell the story. The artifacts weren't just on display. They became part of the narrative, which made it all the more engaging. What surprised me most was how much the visit made me reflect on grief ... her profound losses, her perseverance, and the emotional weight she carried as First Lady during the Civil War. It gave me a new respect for her. And even better? My wife, who is not a big history buff, was the one who suggested we go, and she loved it. That says a lot. The whole tour ran a little over an hour and was the perfect pace. Despite the unseasonably hot June day, the air conditioning kept us comfortable, and the staff were welcoming from start to finish. Bonus points for the gift shop, it's small, but full of genuinely cool and thoughtful items. Well worth the money. Perfect for history buffs, curious minds, and even the skeptics. Educational, immersive, and honest. This isn't just a house. It is a home full of stories.
