Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Ray Taylor was always very helpful and responsive to any questions. We had an amazing trip!
This was a fantastic holiday and adventure experience of a lifetime as well as a relaxing holiday.
The Lacto OVO vegetarian meal on Thai is not vegan. We eventually found a vegan option for the return flight to UK by ordering something like the European Vegan option.
Efficient team especially Joe Orton.
Jeff provided an excellent service. All transfers went smoothly and we were pleased with the price. We were let down by one hotel which was under construction on arrival and did not offer the services advertised. This was disclosed less than 24 hrs prior to arrival.
Molly was a fab agent to deal with. Very helpful pre and during the trip. Abbie also was helpful in helping me sort out flight delays and chauffeur contacts
Lauren, who dealt with our flights was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble. The only downside we had was being told by one of Lauren's colleagues that we needed to pick up our bags in Bangkok. This was incorrect
While not everything went to plan, you managed to resolve these issues quickly and without fuss
Matthew was recommended to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others
Assistance organised by DialAFlight was perfect
Brilliant service, would definitely recommend and use again.
Charlie and his team could not have done any more - can not recommend them enough. A big thank you
Absolutely stunning 3 weeks away, beautiful accommodations and everything ran to schedule. Couldn't have asked for better. Well done to Libby Mcgarry
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish (apart from delayed return flight). Many thanks to Elizabeth for her vast amount of help and support!
Thank you Leo Thompson-Persaud for going above and beyond to organise an amazing trip for us!
Not all flights were satisfactory and seat choice was not available on online check in so a bit disappointing
Everything went to plan, well organised.
Very good service from young Fraser as always
Matthew as always was great, thanks for your help
Everything went to plan - no fuss or worry. Excellent.
All went very well, thank you
Received regular emails throughout. Everything went like clockwork. Brilliant flight but did pay more for extra leg room which wasn’t cheap.
Saf Patel was outstanding. Service went above and beyond to help us.
Vinny does all my bookings - he’s always very helpfu looking at all my flight options and he always gives me a courtesy call the day before my flight
Rosie was with us every step of the way planning our trip. We had several hotels and six flights, so it was quite complicated. Her knowledge, advice and professionalism was very reassuring. I had never organised a trip with so many bookings involved and Rosie was brilliant. The trip was brilliant, the hotels were super and the flights all pieced together perfectly.
Excellent service. Many thanks
My trip went as planned thanks to DialAFlight.
Keep up your good work. I would like to thank you again for organising my last trip back from Bangkok and wish you all the best for the future.
We had a fantastic holiday in Vietnam. Marshall Finnimore arranged everything and it all went like clockwork. We did not need to worry about anything other than enjoying our holiday. We will definitely be using DialAFlight again in the future.
Keep up the good work - you never fail me
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.
