Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Great service as always
Stuart and his team are always very helpful.
Great customer service from Oscar to organise our special holiday - will trust him again for future trips.
Excellent holiday and service.
Excellent service. The ability to speak to a UK agent to clarify any queries or confirm details is a standout level of service that differentiates you from other players in the market. This type of service has almost disappeared. I would usually ignore feedback requests but your service is excellent and I think you need to know how much your customers value it. Thankyou to Philippa and the other staff.
As ever Annabelle Chadderton was amazing from start to finish. We would never book with anyone else and have recommended her to many people who have shared our experience. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Once again thank you and time to get working in our next holiday!
The service from Tristan Chatburn is second to none. DialAFlight are highly recommended. Excellent personalised service.
Had a fabulous holiday. Everything was as promised by Craig and his team. Amazing 5* service as always.
Although you rightly said a house reef unfortunately we had to go by boat and pay so a little miffed but did not spoil a fantastic holiday
All went well with no problem whatsoever
Joe helped us to change resorts and this was the reason why I always book longhaul travel with DialAFlight in case something goes wrong. Excellent service and they saved my holiday
Excellent, as I expected it to be.
Oscar was amazing. Great service
Excellent service again. Lucas Moore was brilliant. Very patient with all questions and changes and made sure flights and prices were best available. Will be using you and recommending for future holidays.
Great experience, would use again.
Ryan from DialAFlight delivered a first class service from start to finish
Great team
Yet another faultless trip from Austin
Darryll is brilliant!
Excellent service from Howard and his team as always
The staff went to great lengths to help us in a very difficult situation. Can’t thank them enough. Great service
Amy was as good as ever.
Ryan booked us an amazing holiday and sorted out the special assistance with Emirates. This helped tremendously. He helped us pick a really great hotel in Seychelles. Thank you so much.
It was a delightful experience - although to be fair and completely honest, I am used to only delightful experiences when I book through DialAFlight. I have come to expect this every time and my expectations have always been met. ALWAYS!
Bradley Edy was efficient and easy to reach via email when I had any questions and I was kept in the loop. On return journey when there were flight times changes I was advised in good time. Would use again.
Adrian Crolla did a great job helping organise everything - flights, transfers, hotel all great.
Each time I deal with DialAflight I have had excellent, friendly and very efficient service at a fair cost. Highly recommended by me.
Alll went smoothly and we were delighted with your service. Thank you very much.
As always a first class service.Thank you
We had an amazing, all inclusive deal which Ivor Savage tailormade for us and it all worked out fine. Although our destination was 'Winter Season' the weather was mixed but sunny most days with showers, but always a pleasant 23-24* - warmer than our summer in most of June. Nice to come back to a heatwave!
Where do we stand on nudity? I quite like it myself, when traipsing from the bathroom to the bedroom on a balmy night or swimming in a moon-lit sea when no one else is around.
But that's not the Formentera way. After a superb lunch at the Gecko Hotel and Beach Club – our extremely comfortable billet on Migjorn beach on the island's southern flank, with glorious Mediterranean views – we head off for a leisurely postprandial but are soon distracted by a couple lying naked in the sand.
THE NAKED ISLE
The man is all legs akimbo, his female companion spread out as if slumber has taken hold midway through a yoga stretch. They are far from the exception.
But, then, this 12-mile long island (a mere 30-minute ferry ride from Ibiza) has long been one of the let-it-all-hang-out capitals of Europe. And one of the most paradoxical.
It's where the languid, carefree spirit sits alongside a strict policy to protect the seagrasses; where construction of new buildings is limited; where you'll find no mega music clubs, not even (unlike its loud neighbour) much in the way of nightlife.
LAIDBACK VIBES
It is the smallest of Spain’s Balearic islands – and is popular as a day-trip destination for people staying in Ibiza. Formentera is particularly well known for its clear waters and long stretches of beach backed by dunes and pine trees. Compared to busy neighbours Ibiza, and Mallorca, nothing much seems to happen on Formentera – and that is meant as a compliment.
The main hub is Sant Francesc, a sleepy village that always manages to wake up in time for drinks and dinner. On a Sunday evening, a group of boys is playing football in the square, using the town hall door as one of the goals, with the white-washed fortress church of Sant Xavier looking on.
There's not, to be honest, a great deal in the way of culture on Formentera – although the Sunday and Thursday Hippy Market in Molar is a good window to the island's soul. The market is more chic than shabby, with whole families coming out to browse and, crucially, to browse at what everyone else is wearing.
GECKO BEACH CLUB
Back at Gecko – a favourite of Sienna Miller – it's all about pared-down luxury. Rooms are on the small side but most come with balconies and some have plunge pools. There's a long, wide pool in the garden on one side of the hotel, a huge lawn with cabanas on the other.
The sea is right there, and at first it's not especially luminous, but walk through the reeds and it soon clears invitingly. Where the water famously is compared with that of the Caribbean is along the northern spit, especially Illetes beach.
ACTIVITIES
We hire bicycles for a day (€6 per bike) and pedal over to Illetes, stopping for a coffee in Es Pujols, the nearest thing Formentera has to a resort town. It's really one main street that leads down to the sea. Unspoilt, unshowy.
A word of warning about Illetes. Time your arrival with care, ideally before the day trippers arrive from Ibiza or after they have left. We make the mistake of turning up at midday and its beauty is somewhat overpowered by the crowd.
We eat our last lunch at a simple Chiringuito right next to the hotel called Kiosko 62, where you perch on stools. My lamb burger does a brilliant job of offering Formentera up on a plate. Cooked pink, it arrives without ceremony in a plain white bun with a slice of tomato on the side. Simple, unpretentious and utterly delicious.
Another extremely popular spot for lunch is Juan Y Andrea which is something of an institution. Open since the 1970s it serves Mediterranean specialties like fresh lobster in glorious surroundings overlooking Illetes beach.
The tables are arranged on the beach and the white-suited waiters walk barefoot. The venue attracts everyone from shipping magnates to movie stars, from ex-Presidents to honeymooners, much like the island itself.
Make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment.
