Apple Vacations: Five Decades and Millions of Repeat Vacationers

As the world’s number one tour operator to Mexico, the nation’s largest operator to the Dominican Republic and the United States’ largest seller of all-inclusive vacations, Apple Vacations has earned the trust of travel advisors and the millions of repeat vacationers who keep coming back for more. And now, with an expanded global product line, clients who grew up taking Apple vacations to the beach can expand their travel horizons with the company they have come to trust and rely on.   

What sets Apple Vacations apart?

  • The first of the Apple Leisure Group companies, Apple Vacations boasts nearly 55 years of experience, driving consumer demand with Exclusive Nonstop Vacation Flights while driving their business to the travel advisor community. 
  • Round-trip airport/hotel transfers from Amstar™ are included in the package price on hotel-only and air-inclusive packages to Mexico, Dominican Republic, most Caribbean islands, and Central America.
  • With the Golden Apple rating, Apple Vacations was the first and remains the only tour operator to rate hotels solely based on customer survey feedback.

While Apple Vacations continues to designate customer-favorite hotels based on post-vacation surveys with the “Golden” Apple, they recently adopted the industry-standard numerical hotel rating system.  Hotels that were previously a 6 or 6+, for example, will retain all their luxurious services and amenities and remain our highest-rated properties, now rated as 5-Apple.

More Great Customer Benefits Include:

  • Beyond the Beach — global product line including domestic and Europe
  • Low deposits to reserve their trip, and Travel Protection Plus with Cancel for Any Reason to protect it
  • Pay Monthly with Uplift
  • Exclusive Perks that make your clients feel like the VIPs they are
  • Professional Amstar™ DMC resort representatives In Mexico, Central America, and popular Caribbean destinations who guide clients to their transfers, hold welcome briefings at many resorts, and recommend the best optional excursions provided by the most reliable vendors
