Marriott STARS & LUMINOUS · About Jay
Three Years Running in Marriott’s Top 1%: What That Means for Your Booking

This year I was again named one of Marriott’s top travel advisors and invited to Maui for the 2024 Marriott STARS Celestial Club and LUMINOUS Crescent Club gala. The event is for the top 1% of advisors in the industry, and this is my third consecutive year.

I am not the right fit for everyone. But the clients who find me and trust me end up with arrangements they did not expect. This business competes hard on price; I have never won clients by being cheap. I win them with expertise and access, and choosing me is choosing that difference in quality.
Beyond the award itself, the gala on Maui put me face to face with the general managers of the world’s top hotels. What I bring back from those conversations — the newest offerings, the way they think about service — goes into every arrangement I make for a client.

What it puts in your hands
- VIP treatment: upgrades, breakfast, late check-out and similar benefits, with points and nights earned as usual
- Access: deep relationships with the luxury hotel groups; some treatment is not available to just anyone
- Made to measure: honeymoons, family trips, itineraries built around what you want
- Peace of mind: the itinerary, the hotel, the dining — every detail watched on your behalf
And not only Marriott’s luxury brands. Hyatt, Four Seasons, Mandarin Oriental, Rosewood, Shangri-La, Peninsula, IHG and Hilton — their top hotels are all within reach.
