Ash, who helped me with everything, was an excellent travel agent - our 4 week holiday to Thailand was perfect
All went well thank you.
All worked really well. Special thanks to Calvin Ali who dd a great job!
Everything went very smoothly. Communication excellent at all times. Thanks to Russell Harrison for all his help. Would definitely use DialAFlight again.
Jerry Bushnell and team always go the extra mile and are ever helpful. Always there to reassure and help. BRILLIANT
Great assistance whilst away travelling
Everything went like clockwork. Many thanks for everything!
Tony was brilliant as always with a “personal touch” you will struggle to get with other tour operators
Excellent service from start to finish. Expert advice with excellent communication and updates.
Brilliant service from DialAFlight
Very helpful when I booked my flight First class service
I have used DialAFlight for many years, Connie being my main point of contact and she is very good.
Extremely helpful - could not be happier with the service you provide. 10 out of 10
Vinnie is always helpful
All went like clockwork and my questions were answered promptly and were informative.
Ewan and his team are the best! We have worked with DialAFlight for close to two decades. Keep up the good work and customer focus.
I always use DialAFlight and find them very competitive and responsive
I have experience booking my own world travel but was recommended your company by a friend. Staff were polite, very helpful and efficient. The updates and tips on visas etc. for my flights were also very useful and could not be happier with the service I received
The accommodation at Centara Villas Samui was nice but not ideal for older people because it has lots of steps down to restaurants and the beach. But could not fault the food.
Great communication with Declan
All flights were as booked and I felt comfortable while travelling that Tammy was only a phone call away should any problem arise.
I dealt with Declan as I have done on many occasions, and as usual his advice and guidance was excellent. Plus the follow up phone call gives the service a personal touch.
Spencer was great from booking right through to contact when we ran into a problem. I would definitely recommend him for future holidays.
DialAFlight is second to none
As always a very well put together package by Jordan Fell and team. Everything went to plan as booked and excellent communication through the whole booking service. I will continue to support your company as they have me and recommend you to all
I'm very pleased with DialAFlight and know I can rely on getting a good deal every time.
Always good. Full confidence in Spencer
Troy is a joy to work with. However, Qatar Airlines gets a bad rating. They changed the flight dates and times four times so I lost two day’s holiday. I will not fly with them again.
Great service and knowledge
Had a great holiday - didn’t want to come home. DialAFlight is the best
Koh Samui today looks every inch the polished holiday destination. Manicured white beaches overlook stunning 21st century hotels, boasting a growing number of top-rated restaurants and exclusive clubs.
The island's roads, however, have more of the 19th century about them - progress from the airport to your resort can be sluggish to say the least. But then it was only in the 1970s that the first road was built. Before that, Samui lived off farming and fishing and crossing the island via the densely-thicketed highlands used to take the best part of a day for what is now only a 15-mile journey.
I've been back to Samui quite a few times since my first visit 20 years ago, when I stopped off after living and working in Japan as a model. I love going to Kamalaya, a spa resort offering detox, yoga, fitness and weight control. It's built around a cave once used by Buddhists as a spiritual retreat.
There are plenty of things to do and see on the island, but once I've checked in, I tend to stay put. Everything you need to enjoy the perfect break is right there. If I can visit the spa every day and have lots of rejuvenating treatments, I'm as happy as a clam.
I eat modestly - no animal products and lots of fruit and vegetables. But I don't go hungry - I make sure I dine very well.
My strict regime also means that I drink no alcohol and no tea or coffee. It makes me feel really good and sets me up for the next six months.
I would like to pretend that my diet is as rigid back home. But I must confess that when I'm presenting the Capital Radio Breakfast Show, I rely on a little coffee kick in the morning and succumb to the odd croissant.
My favourite meal at Kamalaya is a big 'detox broth'; green soup with sesame and a mild flavour of seaweed, with loads of vegetables that have been double-boiled.
At dinner you can sit at a communal table and chat to lots of different people.
But no-one minds if you prefer to sit on your own and read a book.
It's not compulsory to follow a weight loss plan or be there for a detox. I choose to follow a healthy plan because I enjoy the results. I'm weighed at the start and end of my visit. They've kept my records over the years - and I'm pleased to say that my body fat ratio has improved over the years, which amazes me.
On this trip, after leaving Kamalaya I was joined by two friends for a stay at the Akaryn, a new stylish hotel which was quite a different sort of experience. The girls and I liked the swim-up bar, and we had fun drinking cocktails in the pool. The resort also had a great steak restaurant and fabulous pizzas. In a way, I was re-toxing after the detox week at Kamalaya!
However, there were also really healthy dishes on the menu, including a lot of fish.
One day we visited the famous Fisherman's Village, basically a long street with a range of stalls and restaurants. After shopping we went to a cool little restaurant called Starfish and Coffee, quirky and fun.
Another night we went to Chaweng, a popular beach area - with nightlife including some rather risque shows. But mostly our night-time entertainment was swimming in our pool, so private we could have our own little parties.
In the morning, I'd get up with the sun and have a walk on the beach and a swim before breakfast - before a yoga session in the shade of an oak tree.
