Why Should I Work with a Travel Advisor?
When planning a vacation, many travelers assume that enlisting the services of a travel advisor will inevitably lead to higher costs. However, this common misconception couldn't be further from the truth.
At Oscar & Olive, we believe in providing our clients with exceptional service and incredible value. Here's why working with a travel advisor doesn't mean spending more on hotels—in fact, it often leads to substantial savings.
Access to Exclusive Rates
Travel advisors can access a wide range of exclusive rates not available to the general public. Through our partnerships with major hotel chains and independent properties worldwide, we can secure the best available rates (BAR) and member rates for Marriott Bonvoy, IHG Rewards, Hilton Honors, and others. These negotiated rates often include significant discounts compared to booking directly.
Perks and Benefits
Booking through a travel advisor often includes added perks that enhance your stay without increasing costs. These benefits can include:
Early Check-in and Late Checkout: Enjoy flexibility with your travel schedule.
Daily Restaurant or Bar Credit: Savor meals and drinks on the house.
Free WiFi and Parking: Stay connected and save on daily expenses.
Welcome Amenities: Receive complimentary snacks, chocolates, wine, or special welcome messages.
Reduced or Waived Resort Fees: Cut down on unexpected charges.
Room Upgrades: Elevate your stay to a higher level of comfort and luxury.
These extras are provided at no additional cost to you, making your stay more enjoyable and cost-effective.
Personalized Service at No Extra Charge
One of the most significant advantages of working with Oscar & Olive is that our hotel booking services are free for you. The hotel compensates us, allowing you to benefit from our expertise and connections without paying a premium. This means you can enjoy a personalized booking experience where we handle all the details and ensure you get the best possible value, making you feel like a VIP.
Saving Time and Reducing Stress
Beyond financial savings, working with a travel advisor saves you time and reduces stress. Instead of spending hours comparing prices, reading reviews, and navigating booking sites, you can rely on our expertise to find the best options tailored to your preferences and budget. Our in-depth knowledge and industry connections enable us to provide recommendations and solutions you might not find on your own, giving you peace of mind and more time to enjoy your vacation.
Tailored Experiences

This personalized approach ensures that your travel experience is exactly what you want it to be.
