Excellent 5 stars
Great service. Olivia is our go to advisor. Excellent
Everything went well from booking to coming back from my trip! Though I did not have to use the complimentary car hire. Flight cost is OK with it.
Kieran Greenfield extremely professional and knowledgeable. Superb service, everything went smoothly as always.
Excellent as always.
Everything went well
Mike was accessible each time I needed to contact him. Everything went smoothly. The company couldn’t support with accommodation we were looking for in the area we wanted which was disappointing. Otherwise everything was good.
Always reliable
Second year we have used Ben and the team at DialAFlight for our visit to Orlando. Everything went like clockwork and would certainly recommend DialAFlight to anyone thinking of planning a holiday.
I appreciated the personal service, with communication from Robbie up until my flight and a direct phone number in case I had any problems. Thankfully not needed but reassuring.
Abbie is always great at finding good deals with the routes we prefer. I now book all my flights through her as I also get the extra protection and support if things go wrong for any reason
As always Robbie has gone over and above -had a great time in New York
Very good service.
The service was excellent
Thank you to Jordan for always booking us the best holidays
Tristan is excellent
Zac was amazing.
Try to use for all of my longhaul flights
I have found everyone at DialAFlight friendly and efficient but also kind. I feel safe using them as a solo female traveller
Amelia responded quickly and with very good advice.
Very good service, good communication and available staff if needed. Would use again.
Made our trip so simple - held our hands, so to speak, every step of the way
Super, personal service as usual. Thank you Gavin.
I would look at not using Delta Airlines. They are awful
Wouldn’t book with anyone else. Very professional and knowledgeable
Another fantastic voyage arranged by Rebecca. Thank you for making my travel life so easy
Thank you for the attention received after booking the trip
Great support from Vinnie Gornall. He listened to understand our needs and made suggestions that helped our trip go smoothly. Looking forward to our next one
Absolutely excellent
Connection at Boston wasn't great, short time to get to next flight, had a long walk around airport with a bad hip and luggage wasn't on that flight. Still waiting on it to turn up!
I am writing this from a balcony at Blue Waters in Antigua and five pelicans are doing a fly past before dipping down towards the ocean in search of breakfast.
The air is soft and warm, not stiflingly hot, and there's movement everywhere - the sea, the palm trees, the puffs of cloud, the sail boats, the staff in that wonderful languid style which makes this part of the world so irresistible.
Getting what the Caribbean is all about means there's no point fretting.
Service will not be American snappy and you might not always get exactly what you order. But that is somehow part of the charm.
It took us almost an hour to find the excellent Coconut Grove shack restaurant on Dickenson Bay because the sign on the road had fallen down and no one had the inclination to put it back up.
Then, at Beachlimerz, a bar and restaurant on the northwest side of the island - popular with ex-pats and with good live music - my starter arrived 20 minutes after my wife's soup and getting a second glass of Sauvignon Blanc required patience.
But not minding about such a relaxed approach to things is what 'getting' the Caribbean is all about. The manager at the restaurant asked if we were having a good time. Of course we were having a good time.
To drive around the island on a Sunday morning when all shops are closed and pass churches where all windows are open and hear a Pentecostal choir in full voice, or a fire-and-brimstone preacher warming to his theme, is truly inspirational.
And to see children on weekdays dressed immaculately in school uniforms and never dropping litter on the ground reminds me of what we've lost at home. To get a flat tyre (as we do) and witness five men, one wearing a huge Rastafarian hat, all trying to out-do each other in the how-can-I-be-helpful stakes makes me long to return to this part of the world.
Blue Waters is on the north of the island no more than 20 minutes from the airport. Owned by a British family, it has undergone a steady refurbishment that has made it even more delightful.
You'll find it's all-inclusive central, with three choices of restaurant, immaculate gardens that attract an array of singing birds, adult-only pools, two easily accessible beaches and a new bar, where most nights there's live music.
People return year after year.We were here a decade ago and are impressed by the changes, not least the new Cove restaurant where the tables at the front are so close to the sea wall it's a wonder a passing mahimahi doesn't land on your plate.
Antigua has some of the best beaches and the colour of the water is so inviting that on more than one occasion near Darkwood Beach in the south west, we park the car on the verge and run into the sea like a couple of eight-year-olds.
Anyone new to the island has to do English Harbour, the only remaining Georgian naval dockyard in the world. It's changed a bit from when Nelson was here in 1784. He was only 26 and not popular with the locals as one of his jobs was to prohibit trade with ex-colonial Americans, which hit the economy.
From English Harbour, there's no excuse for not pushing on until you reach Half Moon Bay, one of the most beautiful unspoilt beaches in the world - for the moment. After a long legal battle it's to be developed, including a Rosewood hotel, due to open in 2021. A mile-long crescent of white sand protected by a coral reef, it's wide enough so that on certain days you can surf in the middle and swim in the calmest of waters on the two flanks.
When we arrive on a Sunday afternoon, a game of beach cricket is nearing its conclusion. Locals and tourists are taking part; a cardboard beer box is the wicket.
I go all sentimental and position myself at square leg in case a catch should come my way - and defy anyone not to 'get' the Caribbean when confronted by such a scene.
