About Acosta Curated TravelThe Person Behind
Your Dream Trip
I’m Ivone, and I’ve been planning trips for over a decade. Not the kind where you book a hotel and hope for the best—the kind where the restaurant reservation is at the perfect time, the guide knows the secret spots, and the villa feels like home, but better.
I’ve built relationships with people all over the world who trust me to send them the right clients. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a trip. You’re getting access to experiences that aren’t in guidebooks.

What Sets Us ApartWhy Use a Virtuoso
Travel Advisor?
Here’s the thing about working with a Virtuoso travel advisor: you’re not just booking a trip. You’re getting access to potential room upgrades, special amenities that hotels save for their best relationships, and experiences that most travelers never hear about.
01Exclusive Benefits You Can’t Get Online
Potential room upgrades when available. Welcome amenities that can make you feel like a VIP. Early check-ins and late check-outs when possible, and breakfast included even when it’s not part of the rate. These aren’t perks you can find on a booking site—they’re reserved for advisors who send the right clients.
02Access to Experiences That Aren’t Public
Virtuoso advisors have relationships with hoteliers, guides, and local experts who trust us to send them the right clients. They know when we recommend someone, they’re going to take care of them. That’s how you get access to experiences that most travelers never hear about—the restaurant that’s impossible to book, the private tour that isn’t listed anywhere, the insider access that makes a trip extraordinary.
03Personalized Planning, Not Generic Packages
I don’t create generic packages. Every trip is built around what you love—whether that’s exploring ancient ruins at dawn or doing absolutely nothing but watching the sunset. I’ll ask about your perfect morning, then build the day around that. From the moment you depart to your return home, every detail is thought through. That’s the difference between booking a trip and planning an experience.
04Someone Who Actually Fixes Things
When things go wrong—delayed flights, canceled reservations, unexpected changes—you don’t get a call center. You get someone who actually fixes things. I’m available when you need me, and I have the relationships to make things happen quickly. That’s the difference between booking a trip and having someone who’s truly looking out for you.

How It WorksFrom First Conversation
to Your Return Home
You know that feeling when you’re planning a trip and you think, “I wish someone could just handle all of this?” That’s exactly what I do. Here’s how we work together.
01We Start With a Conversation
This isn’t a form to fill out. It’s a real conversation—about what you love, what you want to experience, and what makes a trip feel perfect to you.
02I Build Your Itinerary
Based on our conversation, I’ll craft a detailed itinerary that reflects exactly what you want. Not a template. Not a package. A plan built around your preferences.
03We Refine Together
You’ll see the full plan before anything is booked. Want to swap a restaurant? Change the timing? Add something unexpected? We’ll adjust until it feels exactly right.
04You Travel, I Handle Everything
Once you’re on your way, I’m still here. Need a last-minute change? Something unexpected comes up? I’m a text or call away. That’s what I mean by support—not a call center, but someone who actually fixes things.
