Thank you for putting together an unforgettable vacation. The hotels, the experiences, the people, the vibes were perfect. I appreciated all of the recommendations they had to offer, they Frank knows Fiji!! I had the best spa experience in my life at the Outrigger. On my birthday, I was surprised by the staff with a birthday cake during the butler service. Even though I was there alone, I didn't feel lonely. I wished I took the time to study the map because I would have extended my trip to New Zealand. read more

Working with Frank was an absolute pleasure. He's very professional and designed a great itinerary for us starting in Tahiti and going to Moorea, Rangiora, and Taha'a.

Our trip to Tahiti-Moorea-Bora Bora, was amazing thanks to Frank's detailed planning and travel expertise. Every accommodation, transfer, ferry, plane, etc. was perfectly planned, making our travel so easy. What an amazing vacation! read more

Going to the Cook Islands has been on my "Bucket List" for years, but the thought of making the plans was too daunting and I didn't know where to start. When I told Frank I was interested in going, he made it easy for me to say, "Yes"! Because he had been there himself many times before, he knew EXACTLY where I should stay, and where I should go, and even recommended and booked tours and excursions for me. We booked the trip 6 months out but when it came time to go, I was hesitant to go as I was feeling overwhelmed, and had a lot of anxiety about going alone. Frank reassured me that the trip was "just what I needed" to dissipate anxiety and that the trip would be good for me overall and, even though I had trip cancellation insurance, he encouraged me to go. He mentioned that given my outgoing personality, I would meet lots of people on the trip and I sure did! I met all kinds of people on the tours and at the first hotel he booked for me, and he even got me a second hotel so I could "have another kind of experience" and it was great. The tours he booked for me were fantastic. With all the friends I met on the trip, now I am planning to go to New Zealand to visit them and will be calling on Frank to handle all the flight and hotel details! I highly recommend him to book your trip and itinerary for all things South Pacific! He knows it well and he's great to work with! He's awesome!! read more

I recently worked with Frank at South Pacific Vacations to plan our dream honeymoon in French Polynesia. Frank listened to what we wanted and planned an outstanding itinerary within the budget range that we wanted. The honeymoon was outstanding and truly everything we dreamed of. Having the entire trip planned out for us was a huge help because we were so busy with wedding planning. Furthermore, Frank assisted when our international flight to Tahiti was delayed due to weather. Frank immediately helped get our itinerary adjusted to have the smallest impact to our trip. I've never had a big trip interruption like that and it was so helpful to have Frank's expertise to resolve it. Thank you! Five stars for South Pacific Vacations! read more

Frank was more than helpful. He made our vacation into a perfect dream. It was well organized, the people were helpful and overly nice, the accommodations were incredible and the resorts were spectacular.

We used South pacific Vacations for our trip to Fiji, and All I can say is it was the vacation of a lifetime! We stayed at 3 resorts on different islands based on Frank's recommendations, and each one had something unique to offer. All of the hotel staff were friendly and hospitable, beyond our expectations. We had some of the best snorkeling ever, and the marine life is incredible there. I would definitely return to Fiji and would recommend South Pacific Vacations highly. read more

Frank was so awesome and helpful. My husband and I went to Tahiti for our honeymoon, it was an amazing and wonderful trip. Frank was very responsive, kept us up to date on the covid restrictions on the Island, and made sure transportation was set up. Thank you so much! read more

Frank did a great job! I told him I wanted to go to the South Pacific, something a little off the beaten path, but someplace where we could stay in a five star resort with over the water bungalows but at the same time wasn't overdeveloped. I also wanted to sail and experience the local culture. In short order he got back to me recommending the island of Moorea off the coast of Tahiti. With a stay in a luxury, over the water bungalow, a sailing and snorkeling excursion, food tour and 4x4 tour. The vacation ended up being one of the best we ever had and more than lived up to our hopes and expectations. From our bungalow we could snorkel right off our deck with every color fish imaginable, the occasional black tip reef shark (small and harmless), giant clams, and coral everywhere. Or we could sit on our deck and look across the water at Tahiti. The view from the Sofitel Kia Ora (nicest resort on the island) is of Tahiti. I can't recommend the island of Moorea, South Pacific vacations, or Frank highly enough. If you want to go to the South Pacific, you need to talk to Frank! read more

Found Frank on an internet search for Tahiti Travel agents. I contacted 5 agents and Frank was the most responsive and knowledgeable. Great to work with and help me plan our trip.

Frank took my input and planned a really great trip for us and everything went according to plan and we just returned from a wonderful vacation. I would definitely recommend Frank for anyone looking for a Travel agent for a tropical paradise, whether first time traveler or repeat traveler. Thanks again Frank. read more

I cannot say enough about how well Frank did planning out our dream honeymoon for us. All we knew was that we wanted to go to Tahiti and stay in bungalows. Frank was able to help us plan a few locations to stay (Moorea and Bora Bora) and suggested staying in both beach and overwater bungalow's... which I would highly suggest. The package that he sent walked us though every step/flight. He was also extremely quick to get back to me with each question that came up. Thanks Frank! I would suggest you to our friends and family in a heartbeat!! The Pope's read more

In November of 2008, I got married. As I was shopping for a honeymoon, I called Frank from a my brother who gave me his number. I went to meet Frank and he scheduled a really nice trip for my wife and I to Tahiti. I really like Tahiti because I speak French. Everything was really well done, the plane, the resort, the food. Best of all, I loved swimming in the Ocean. THANKS again to South Pacific Vacations. I will definitly contact him for my next trips. read more

Frank is a genius and incredibly helpful. I rate and hold such high respect for this company that I shall book with them again despite owning a time share. Frank immediately responded to my email about recommendations, did the impossible-that is get inside a woman's head to know exactly what I was looking for, was patient as I decided, offered suggestions that were not biased based on cost...I cannot say enough about how wonderful Frank and SPV's are as a whole. With the travel agency industry struggling I was so impressed with Frank and cannot say enough about working with them. read more

South Pacific Vacations is #1 in my book... I have to honestly say that working with Frank and south pacific vacations while booking our trip to Italy in 2014 was awesome.. Frank helped us book most of our hotels in Rome and helped us book our flight that was seamless, because of the connecting flights and time zones.. Also, we were unsure of how to use the train system across Italy and Frank explained it just as if he would of been there with us.. While in Florence, we had to make a change to our itinerary for our Venice trip, and Frank took care of it within 2 hours.. I feel like he really cared about us having a memorable trip and experience with his company. I would use them again in a heartbeat! Alexi R. read more

We used South Pacific Vacations for booking a recent beach vacation. Initially found the company during an internet search and filled out the online form for more information. Within 48 hours received contact from Frank regarding the inquiry. Frank was a breeze to work with and really helped us narrow down our destination, based on our objective, budget and time frame. Frank was very patient with us as we decided on a destination. Booking through South Pacific was seamless, super easy, and very affordable.

Definitely will be using this vacation service again in the future! read more

I used South Pacific Vacations for a family trip to Playa del Carmen.Frank took care of all our reservations and worked with me until we got the best flights. He was very responsive in getting back with me with options and let me know right away when there was a schedule update. Since Frank had vacationed in Playa del Carmen he was great at recommending the resort and all of the local activities. Playacar Palace turned out to be a wonderful resort for our family. Frank had requested best view in our room class (partial view) and when we checked in they upgraded our room to a suite with a full view! Awesome place and great service. He knew about all the tours and was able to give me information on the various activities. Thanks Frank for your help planning a great week! read more

I had the pleasure of using South Pacific Vacations to assist with my 26th wedding anniversary trip to Italy last month. Frank Lazzaro was absolutely wonderful & instrumental in assisting us with not only booking our flight, suggesting cities to visit, hotel options, but giving me first hand knowledge of what to see & do, having traveled to all of these cities himself. Thanks to Frank, our trip to Rome, Florence and Venice which included Pompeei & the Amalfi Coast, was the most memorable romantic trip we've ever had. Thank you South Pacific Vacations! read more

Had great time in Cancun this past week. Everything from airfare, transfers to and from airport, hotel and excursions all booked through Frank of South Pacfic Vacations. Planning a trip could be very intimidating for some, but after speaking with Frank Lazzaro, it became clear that his knowledge was going to make this easy for me. After arriving in Cancun, I took his advice and did not have any problem finding where I had to go. The Rui Caribe was excellent for me and the people were friendly, I found it easy to communicate with most. Food and drinks were non stop many good choices. Once again, thanks Frank, GREAT JOB read more
