Great personal service, would definitely return as a customer in future
We had a memorable holiday. Ralph arranged the flights, hotels and transfers and booked everything according to what I wanted. I will definitely be coming back.
Another seamless delivery by DialAFlight with excellent pre-departure contact and links for check-in. Thank you.
I love the way you keep me informed about everything and have the time to answer any questions. Thank you
Thank you so much Wayne and your other amazing colleague. As always, absolutely flawless and you were right - that extra space was everything. Terrific 30th with your help!
DialAFlight always provides an excellent service
1st class as always
Natasha was amazing and organised our trip start to finish! Even with last minute requests to extend because we were having such a great time. Thank you for your help we will definitely be booking again!
Luke was very helpful and reassuring - even when I asked lots of questions nothing was a problem. Highly recommend
Everything went smoothly. Noah’s attention to detail and proactive solutions to all my potential worries and questions were spot on. Thank you.
Great savings versus other providers and even flight comparison sites and the airlines themselves. Can’t recommend enough. Definitely will be using again - hopefully very soon.
Jade Williams was absolutely brilliant, an excellent ambassador for your company. She exceeds all expectations.
Great hotels and advice. Many thanks again Cameron. Super helpful and patience with our planning and options. Will definitely be using DialAFlight again!!
Jamie is great. Always accommodating when plans change mid-trip and ready to get us the best deal and different options, whatever is needed.
Difficult to understand the need for a connecting flight on the way out to Barbados but we had a direct flight from St Vincent on the return leg...
Thanks again and looking forward to booking again with you in the foreseeable future.
Able to change/extend my stay when Virgin's web site wouldn't allow it.
Helen ensured we got exactly what we asked for and wheelchair service provided with not much hassle. I was reassured that I had contact with yourselves should I need it any time. As a side note I love your app! A happy customer
The service we received was above expectation. And Ryan, who looked after us, couldn’t have been more helpful. So much so that we’ve already booked two more holidays!
As always Stuart did a great job.
A personal service above and beyond
Everything was perfect - we can't wait to go again. My husband is always complaining but he couldn't find anything to complain about, great holiday.
Staff are always polite, experienced and knowledgeable. My 'go to' travel agent for years
Excellent service from Jane and Sadie together with good prices. Thank you
Food could have been better.
Troy was outstanding as usual, definitely use you again
Excellent and professional throughout
Both flights and seating were good. Thanks.
Have used DialAFlight for years. Never had any complaints, always BRILLIANT.
Thanks very much. Five stars
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.
