      Trip was great.... O'Brian was exceptional
      By Renee M for Paris and Barcelona on May 02, 2024
      I had such an amazing time in Brazil! This was my first time with this company and I had no complaints. I joined the group from Antigua and met some of the most wonderful people. The trip was stress free and everything was so organized. I went to three different cities in one trip at an affordable cost. I am looking forward to my next trip with Happistart. And to Renard, thank you for being a great host.

      Great trip, met some wonderful travel partners. The experience overall was a good with the exception of the hotel in Rio de Janeiro ( Mercure Rio Boutique Copacabana) which was quite disapointing. Rooms were not cleaned properly and the bathrooms had mold on the shower. However they had a lovely pastry and fruit breakfast buffet.
      By Gawayne B for Brazil Group Trip on Apr 15, 2024
      The hotel was a beautiful property and our stay was great. What made it even more enjoyable was that we were in walking distance of the township so we got to experience true Dom Rep living. The trip was just awesome and I would do it again!!!!
