Know Before You Go Travel Show

In 2023, I found the Know Before You Go podcast after we already booked a trip to Sandals La Toc in St Lucia. We went in blind and spontaneously booked based on the room amenities. I wanted to learn more, so I started searching through podcasts and found “Know Before You Go” (KBYG). Because I was able to learn much more about the Sandals resorts in St. Lucia, we changed our reservation to The Grande St. Lucian. George and Janet were so helpful in leading us through that decision and appropriately setting our expectations - just by the podcast alone! Fast forward, my daughter, age 22, wanted to go to an all-inclusive in Mexico for her college graduation. I suggested she listen to the podcast and see if there were any stand out resorts that George and Janet recommend. She actually ended up booking her trip to Mexico through Penyak travel, and she had an AMAZING experience. She stayed 4 nights at the Valentin Imperial Riviera Maya. Everything was arranged for her, door to door, and she didn’t have to worry about a thing. MOST IMPORTANTLY, as her mother, I had peace about her safety and all the logistics that international travel can sometimes bring. Knowing my daughter was well-cared for and SAFE is invaluable! I listen to the KBYG on a regular rotation now, and have for 3 years. It gives me a “get away” in my mind as I visualize the experiences they describe, and my husband and I already decided we will book through Penyak Travel for our anniversary trip next year!

A travel agent friend recently introduced the idea of all inclusive resorts as she helped us book our honeymoon. I have never been to one, and in an effort to learn more, I found your podcast and YouTube channel and have been pouring through the episodes for weeks! I seriously want to know all of your tricks for carryon packing for long vacations! You all have taught me so much already and I love your reviews! Keep up the great work, and don’t tell my friend, but we may have to reach out to you all for the next travel adventure! 😉

I started listening to this podcast about a year ago because my husband and I travel to the Caribbean and have been to Sandals a couple of times. I love all the helpful information about the different resorts very helpful and usable information so when I got ready to book a trip this spring I reached out to Janet and we traveled to Xcaret Arte near Playa del Carmen Mexico. It was the easiest trip I’ve ever booked, and I will definitely use them again. Thanks so much for the easy booking and for the relaxing drive to work while listening to a podcast that takes me away to wonderful swim up bars in beautiful pools🤩

Let me start by saying the show and listening to all the podcast in the last year sold me,if you want two people that share it all about there experiences at resorts this is the podcast they give you honest review and are so detailed about it all Ty Janet for booking are first resort and your hubby for a great podcast💪
