So thankful for this organization providing the opportunity for me to experience something new with my daughters in Granby, Colorado. This is an excellent program for Active Duty and Veterans. I hope all eligible personnel take advantage of this program when they have the opportunity.

This was an amazing experience. We saved thousands on lodging. I was able to reunite with my wife, son, and father post deployment at an exceptional resort very close to Disney world. I was thrilled with the accommodations i can’t say enough positive things. Thank you!!!!!!

I want to thank IHOOT for the best week that my family and I were able to spend at Reunion Resort in Kissimmee, FL. We were blown away from the moment we pulled up to the gates at the resort. The grounds were stunning and the amenities that were accessible at the resort were all we needed to enjoy a wonderful week. From the restaurants to the pool, lazy river, and golfing, we got to relax and enjoy the warm weather together. We also got to visit Walt Disney World which is something my daughters may not have been able to experience at such a young age without IHOOT. The time we spent with family and friends on this trip is something we won't forget. I've continued to praise and recommend IHOOT to other veteran families as well! Thank you for such a memorable week.

We are so grateful for goths accommodations provided by IHOOT. They allowed our family to have an awesome, and much needed getaway to the beach. The savings from the program really allowed us to do many other things in our itinerary.

We we cannot thank IHOOT and their donors for this great program. We went to San Diego and stayed at the Worldmark by Wyndham. We visited the mission, old town, Pacific Beach, Torrey Pines, took a boat cruise of the harbor, Coronado Island, and several other things.. Thank you so much again for this great program.

Our family is tremendously grateful for the time we were able to share together at the accommodations provided by Vacations for Vets. We are a military family of 6 and Vacations for Vets made it possible for our large family to stay in a beautiful and spacious 3 bdrm, 3 bathroom resort condo. Our eldest daughter is in the Navy, my husband is retired Air Force, and I'm still currently serving in the Air Force so it can get quite difficult to get our family all together. We are so completely grateful that Vacations for Vets helped make our family vacation possible. Through the support of Vacations for Vets we were able to stay in Kissimmee Florida at the Reunion Resort near Walt Disney World and enjoy some much needed family time together. Our resort and accommodations were more than we could have ever expected, everything at the resort was just beautiful and we could not have dreamt of a more perfect resort to share our time together. We would like to thank you greatly for making our family vacation so special and for helping us create memories as a family that will last a lifetime. V/r, Nina Ward

Why in the world did it take me a year and a half to write this review??? My close friend of 12 years, Matt Baughman, told me that I had to check out IHOOT. Boy was I not disappointed! My wife and I went to Puerto Vallarta with our two adult children. We also brought along my wife’s sister, mother, and our niece. Let me just say that this was an extraordinary experience. From the room accommodations to the hotel itself (Plaza Pelicanos), IHOOT knocked it out of the park. Here are some of the amazing things we did as a family: -ATV riding -ziplining at the “Predator” film location -tequileria touring -shopping on the Malecon -jet skiing -boat tour to Los Arcos And let’s not forget touring all of the amazing cuisine and sunbathing on the beaches. We fell in love with the people and culture. This trip was instrumental in expanding our children’s outlook of the world. More so, it helped us all to reconnect after the emotional exhaustion that the pandemic put on everyone. There were very few times from 2020-2021 in which we truly felt at peace with the world; this experience goes at the top of the list. We can’t thank IHOOT enough for the work they are doing for current/former service members and their families. You guys are real MVPs.

I can't say enough about this organization and the owners that donate to this wonderful program. We recently went to Disney Christmas 2022 and were able to stay a week on Disney property. I have a large family and IHOOT made it possible to get everyone together and have an affordable vacation! Thank you so much!!
