Wesley Travel Agent Expert

Wesley is a lively village on Dominica’s northeast coast in Saint Andrew Parish, with over 2,000 residents. It grew after Emancipation as freed laborers settled the area. Known for its rich culture influenced by settlers from Antigua and Montserrat, Wesley’s community speaks Kokoy, a unique Creole dialect. Agriculture, especially bananas and root crops, remains vital to the local economy. The village hosts the North Eastern Comprehensive School and is near the site of the new Dominica International Airport. Despite development challenges, Wesley maintains a strong community spirit and offers an authentic Caribbean experience.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.
