Dear Dave,
Hello and Happy Canada Day!!!
Anything fun planned for the long weekend?
We
are spending our long weekend at our place down in
Palm Springs and boy it is hot, hot, hot!!! This
weekend it's actually supposed to get up to 47
degrees. Crazy, eh?? But it's a dry heat.
Dixie is here too and she's really enjoying her
mini-vacation. Since it's so hot she spends her
days napping in our air-conditioned condo, but in
the mornings and evenings she is out enjoying the
sites of Palm Springs. What a lucky dog!!!
Not sure if you noticed, but last month we started
a new feature in the newsletter. Every month we
are offering an article by Catherine
Heeg, who is a fabulous Calgary-based
speaker and trainer. Check out her article this
month focusing on Social Media Marketing for the
travel industry!
Have a great July. Hope it's a busy one for you.
If you need any help closing the sale, we're
always here to help.
HAPPY SELLING!!!
Sincerely,
Freddie Mash, CTC

RRMEMBERS TESTIMONIALS
Cheques Arriving Daily
While
out on the road I love it when I run into Travel
Agents who are receiving cheques from Real
Resorts via theRRMembers
Commission Booster Program. It is one of the
best incentive programs in the industry, with
agents receiving cheques for every qualifying
suite booked.
Brenda Jones from
Airline Ticket Centre in St Albert, Alberta is
seen here holding her $50USD cheque
from Real Resorts.
And
what a great suprise it was for Laurie
Bourgeoisfrom AMA Travel in Edmonton
when she received a cheque for $530USD on
her actual birthday. Talk about a nice birthday
present!!
Laurie had booked a wedding group to THE ROYAL
in Playa del Carmen. When I asked her what she
was going to use her $$$ for she said she was
going to get her hair done and also a new bike.
Sounds good to me!!!
Congratulations Brenda and Laurie. Keep booking
Real Resorts for more cheques!!!

THE ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN & THE PINK DRESS
By Jade Cardy from Flight Centre in White
Rock, BC
I stayed at the Royal
Playa del Carmen in May 2011 and had an amazing
time! This resort is top notch. The location is
perfect, a block away from Fifth Avenue for lots of
shopping and nightlife. The Royal also offers a
relaxed atmosphere, great for couples. I love that
it is adult only. Some of the highlights were the
pool was open 24 hours, the rooms were spectacular,
with a jaccuzzi tub built for two in my room, and a
hammock on my balcony. Every night I came back and
my bed had been turned down, with chocolates and
rose petals scattered around. Nice personal touches
like this make the holiday all the more special.
There's your own personal bar in the room as well,
full of drinks and snacks, so you don't even have to
leave the room. I also enjoyed a 5-course dinner at
one of the many restaurants, absolute perfection!
The
highlight to this fairytale is that I had
accidentally left a dress behind. Normally I would
just let it go, but I had just bought the dress a
month prior in Egypt, so it had some personal
meaning to me. I emailed Freddie from Real Resorts
and he got a hold of the hotel, and low and behold
they found the dress and are sending it to me by
Fed-ex as I write this! This was the perfect ending
to a perfect holiday. I will definitely go back and
I will recommend this property to all of my family,
friends and clients, as I am a travel agent. I have
seen many resorts in the Mayan Riviera, and I can
honestly say this one was my favourite. I will be
back for sure!!
