Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Brilliant service as always. Many thanks.
All your reminders were most weicome,
I have been booking with Jake for the last 22 years and have never been disappointed. I have always received 100% attention as if I am his only customer. I have recommended him to all of my family and friends and they too only use him.
Lloyd was great - even callingl the night before wishing us a good trip. I recommended him to my friends currently on holiday in Barbados and they have nothing but praise for him.
Great service and competitive pricing. Loved the app!
Brilliant as always
Always boast about the service I receive from DialAFlight
Excellent communication. Reid helpful as ever. Trip to Barbados went very well. Thank you.
Very efficient and always on hand to answer queries
I liked the fact that you checked to make sure I did everything I needed to do and made sure everything was OK
Shelley was fantastic and helpful and communicative. Great service!
Great service - will definitely be using again
Disappointed by the Barbados government tourist tax on the hotel room amounting to 24 US $ per day. I think this is excessive.
Fairmount in Barbados not fit for purpose - totally overpriced and not 5 Star. Everything else perfect thank you
First time I’ve used DialAFlight and Will certainly use you again
Declan, Paul and Orlando worked tirelessly for many months to help me with this holiday which was complex. Declan was kind, generous with his compassion and could not have done more to help me. Customer service and care are the most important elements to me. To feel comfortable and supported these days is rare.
Excellent service as always - many thanks and look forward to our next one
All went well - Virgin were great and the hotel did what they said on the box. Very happy with it.
Great service. Helpful staff. Polite and knowledgeable. Thank you very much!
Stacey Rayner looks after all my personal and business trips and I cannot express how amazing she is ... from recommendations on hotels, flights and excursions everything is spot on! On top of that she always fights for the best deals (including room upgrades and best flight times). Thank you for another great trip
Excellent service as usual from DialAFlight. Sadly the holiday didn’t match up - the answer to a different question!
Everything was first class.
DialAFlight met all our needs however we did have one or two issues with Sandals and Virgin.
All good, thanks
Great customer service. Will recommend to friends
Consistent quality service.
Keely gave us a wonderful holiday and everything went to plan
Logan has been fantastic, thank you
Lucas was outstanding from planning our itinerary to keeping in touch with updates throughout the whole process. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you also to Harriet who sorted a last minute change of plan so efficiently
Leo and his colleagues were excellent, amazingly helpful. I will certainly be in contact with you all again.
Who doesn't daydream about sailing on their own private yacht to the most secluded coves in the Caribbean? But cruising?
In my mind, cruising was the preserve of a senior generation who enjoyed being transported in their thousands in a floating block of flats to a number of different tourist hotspots.
And that image stayed with me until the elegant four-masted motor yacht Windstar came over the horizon and into view. It quickly tipped any preconceived notions about what it is to take a cruise holiday on its head.
Before joining the Windstar, my mother and I spent a lovely night in Barbados - to acclimatise to the balmy weather of the Caribbean, you understand.
Just 30 minutes from the port of Bridgetown - home to luxury liners and international cruise companies - sits Fairmont Royal Pavilion a perfect hotel hideaway.
The hotel is much favoured by return visitors, and having sampled its delights, I wouldn't take much convincing to enjoy a second stay.
After a refreshing dip in the aqua-blue sea, a couple of pina colada cocktails and a dinner of fresh seafood, we began to feel human again after the long-haul flight from London.
At Bridgetown harbour there are humble wooden boats, there are grander ships - and then there's the regal Windstar.
Now I don't know my port from my starboard when it comes to sailing terminology, but I do know that the reason this 440ft motor yacht is breathtaking is quite simply her sails.
Step aboard and you feel that you're in a different era, a feeling confirmed by the sight of the splendid teak decking, which makes you want to start every day with a game of quoits.
After exploring the sumptuous cabin that would be our home for the next week, we joined the other passengers on deck as we sailed away to Vangelis's theme tune to the film 1492: Conquest Of Paradise, a fitting melody to match the stirring setting.
The particular paradise we were setting sail to conquer came in the form of the Windward Islands - St Lucia, Grenada and St Vincent - on a cruise that promised to uncover the Caribbean's lesser known islands.
To be gently rocked to sleep each evening by the waves and wake up at a new island each morning feels more like time-travelling than a holiday at sea. And not knowing what sight is going to greet you as you throw back the curtains is incredibly exciting.
To work up an appetite before breakfast, we could take a body-stretching yoga or pilates class, or else just settle for a brisk walk on deck, which always comes with a beautiful azure-blue view.
One day we dropped anchor at the idyllic 44-islet Pigeon Island on St Lucia before a tender swept us across to this verdant national park. We clambered up Signal Hill, which provides stunning views across to Martinique, before treating ourselves to an ice-cold beer and kingfish roti.
Next we headed for the spectacular Spice Island of Grenada, where we could participate in anything from scuba-diving to river-tubing, and golf to sampling rum. The island is known for its cocoa, with chocolate factory tours offering a particularly aromatic insight into how this lush green island trades the fruits of its lands.
On another occasion, the Windstar crew swept us up from Princess Margaret Beach in tiny Bequia. It was at times like this that we really did feel like royalty returning to our own private yacht. The fact that the 99 guests on board were attended to by a discreet yet congenial crew of 99 might have had something to do with that. It's hard to argue with a ratio of 1:1.
Exemplary service and comfort are one thing but the intimacy - and smiling crew - was what really made this trip so special.
Executive chef Budhi Thakur runs a tight ship in the galley, and to savour the vast array of gastronomic masterpieces - from caviar to the most stylish BBQ you'll ever attend - that he and his team of ten chefs manage to produce from the tiny kitchen is incredible.
Windstar? This vessel could easily be renamed Michelin Star. I've always fancied the idea of running away to sea and now I've found the perfect place on which to have such an adventure. And my mum would happily be my shipmate too.
It's got four masts, it's gleaming white, it's luxurious from stern to bow - and it's called Windstar.
