“I needed to go on vacation at the last minute and Ellen helped find a hotel in the Bahamas. I have worked with Ellen before and she has never let me down. This was no exception. Ellen found a hotel that she said was "in a good spot". What she meant was "the best spot on the island". The hotel location was PERFECT!! I hate to walk but the hotel was 4 blocks from restaurant in one direction and 4 blocks from shops and clubs in the other direction. And there was an incredible beach out front. I can't say enough about how great Ellen is and how I will only trust her and central travel for my travel plans. Central Travel is still batting 1000% in making my travel the best.
