Kim Cook
Love to Travel started with a disappointment. When Dave and I tried to plan our own destination wedding in 1993, we were let down by the travel agency we trusted with one of the most important days of our lives. We knew we could do better — and we decided to prove it.
We combined our love of travel with our background in sales and customer service, partnered with Sandals Resorts and Funjet Vacations, and built something we truly believed in: a travel agency where service on a once-in-a-lifetime trip is never an afterthought.
Thirty years later, Love to Travel is Kansas City's award-winning all-inclusive travel agency with 400+ five-star reviews, a team of dedicated advisors, and clients who come back year after year — and send their friends.
"Service is our number one priority."
— Kim Cook, as featured in Travel PulseI specialize in Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts and hold Sandals Chairman's Royal Club Elite status — the highest designation Sandals and Beaches award to travel advisors worldwide. Less than 1% of travel advisors achieve this level.
I have been visiting Beaches Turks & Caicos personally for 25 years. In March 2026, I was among a small group of travel advisors invited for an exclusive private preview of the brand-new Treasure Beach Village — before it opened to guests. That kind of access is what 30 years of relationships and top-tier status makes possible for my clients.
