Have been using you for 30 years or more and you always deliver
Outstanding
Loved being able to speak to an actual person when I called you on the telephone. Great communication and kept up to date of any changes to my travel plans.
Excellent service. Got a phone call a few days before our trip to make sure all was still OK.
Always easy to get through on the phone to DialAFlight and very helpful staff. We have booked with DialAFlight many times and will continue to do so in the future!
We always use DialAFlight because the service we receive is excellent. Our recent trip to Thailand was handled by Jeff Lee who provided us with the usual friendly professional service
Great communication throughout. Would certainly book with DialAFlight again and highly recommend. Took the stress out of the process.
Wouldn’t personally fly with Eva Air again. Seemed very cramped and we had to ask the flight crew for water, tea and coffee. Food wasn’t great at all.
Mobility assistance excellent apart from Heathrow which was a shambles. Very good communication with yourselves and a professional team
Perfectly great
Brilliant service as always from Roger.
Maria superb as always
Everything worked out very well
This is not your fault as I chose the hotel myself but just for your reference the Centara Grand in Krabi was very tired and definitely not a 5* in its present condition so would think twice before recommending it until they have a full refurbishment.
Excellent service as usual - everything went well
Hotel was definitely past its sell by date and in need of a refurb
Lincoln is the best!
All good, as ever
All went smoothly. Helpful staff.
Dominic, your attention to detail was amazing. Travelling on my own as an 82-year-old I was made to feel slightly special. Thank you so much. I will be booking with DialAFlight when I travel again
Very happy with the service. Will use again.
Many thanks to Tommy for organising an excellent holiday for us.
Everything you did was well done Ian. The flight delay was unexpected but all went well
Very helpful from start to finish
I’ve always used DialAFlight and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this company for anyone who’s thinking of booking a vacation.
All went well thank you.
Everything went very smoothly. Communication excellent at all times. Thanks to Russell Harrison for all his help. Would definitely use DialAFlight again.
Everything went like clockwork. Many thanks for everything!
All went like clockwork and my questions were answered promptly and were informative.
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
Some parts of Thailand have a reputation for noisy tourists, cheap hostels and wild bachelor parties - but all that’s changing, thanks to celebrity power. Many are making it their destination of choice.
Kate Moss has been there frequently (she prefers the white sanded beaches of Phuket), Bear Grylls has bought a villa there, and Blake Lively, Beyonce and Jay Z are also semi-regulars.
Not to mention the entire Kardashian family who set up camp back when Caitlyn was still Bruce at the posh new Inlala resort in villas that ran around $150,000 per week.
Indeed, at the moment, visionary hoteliers are finding unspoiled spots to create getaways that offer a level of luxury and style that feels very new for a place that's been a tourist attraction for a very long time.
Thailand is getting a luxury makeover, and it's the right time to find some incredible places to stay.
PANACEA KOH SAMUI
The first is Panacea. On a grassy hilltop overlooking the Gulf of Samui and tropical forests lies Panacea Koh Samui, an extraordinary destination that has reinvented the private villa experience.
Recently opened, Panacea Retreat has already established itself as one of Koh Samui’s most extravagant destinations. Created by a wealthy French businessman who, upon discovering that he could never find exactly what he was looking for when he planned his own family’s holidays, decided to build it himself. It's all about privacy, luxury, and more privacy. Private chefs cook meals in villa and the spa treatments and yoga instructors come to you.
A collection of really stylish and secluded villas all have glass walls to allow as much of the outside in as possible.
Each villa is immense - the smallest is 14,000sqft and the largest 43,000sqft – and every residence includes a minimum of four bedrooms, manicured private gardens and stylish grounds with at least one 20-metre infinity pool.
It’s a bespoke experience - every villa has at least 10 full-time staff assigned to help, so there is never a need that goes unmet. Whether it’s sailing or diving, swimming or lounging, the experience is custom made.
If you want to spend a day just lying at the beach, staff will organise a beach butler to bring along sun loungers and towels, along with champagne on ice and a packed lunch.
KATA ROCKS
Over on Phuket, Kata Rocks is ultra chic and a real game changer for Thailand. It offers a stylish, minimalist vibe with contemporary apartment-sized suites. The stunning spa has private infinity pools, fabulous Andaman sea views and a spectacular cliff-side location.
The hotel is located near Kata, a clean-cut resort town, popular with the yachting crowd, on the south west coast of Phuket. Furnishings are sleek and Italian-made - with white umbrellas shading white sunbeds beside a white-tiled pool.
There are 43 one, two, three and four-bedroom sky villas stacked across the hillside - big, bright and beautiful, they come with fully-fitted kitchens, living and dining areas, and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors opening onto private infinity pools, each of which is a minimum of seven-metres long.
Private chefs prepare fine dining in the privacy of your villa, celebrity DJ’s playing over brunch and TV’s that come down from the ceiling over the bed. Not to mention a fabulous view from the bathtub.
Their ‘Rock Stars’ are concierges whose job it is to make sure that each and every need is met at all times.
INDIGO PEARL
Last but certainly not least is the incredible Indigo Pearl. This is an ultra stylish, luxury boutique hotel in Phuket designed by American designer Bill Bensley, comprising super-luxe suites and villas with a rather spellbinding industrial-chic décor.
Sea fronted, with lush green gardens everywhere, it oozes a local, authentic almost colonial feel – and every single detail is considered. The Pearl Suites are gorgeous but I recommend the private villas.
Encased within lush walled tropical gardens, there are separate living and sleeping areas in two pavilions, linked by dark timber decking dotted with exotic blooms and frangipani trees.
Sunloungers and day-beds abound, and with a private pool, bar, dining room, Jacuzzi, spa, sauna, steam room and a 24-hour butler service, there’s little reason to leave. There is also the Coqoon Spa - a must-try for all spa enthusiasts.
The spa has to be seen to be believed and consists of multiple luxurious spa suites called 'The Nests' - huge spherical structures seemingly suspended in mid-air.
The treatments are incredibly luxurious with purple frangipani oils, jasmine essence and native Andaman elixirs that work magic.
