About Darlene’s Travel Services
We offer FREE Travel Services and we’re a CERTIFIED SANDALS and BEACHES agency, but we can help with any kind of travel planning. This is how it got started.
We had spent several vacations at Sandals in Jamaica and really enjoyed the experience. So much so that Darlene wanted to explore it more. As she looked at Sandals more and more, she started talking about it to people on FaceBook. Then she decided that she wanted to help people, so she started as an Independent Contractor for another travel agency. Then she switched to a different agency and after spending a little time there, Brian decided to start an agency of his own, calling it Darlene’s Travel Services.
Some time later Darlene started conversing with Janet Trader who was an Independent Contractor (IC) for another agency but was looking for a change. So we invited her to join us and thus Janet is now an IC for Darlene’s Travel Services.
REMEMBER, we ALWAYS provide FREE Travel Services and we’re a CERTIFIED SANDALS and BEACHES agency.
