Thanks as always to Ralph Summers. I always recommend DialAFlight to family and friends and I will soon be booking a trip to the USA this summer.
I should have been informed of the single person’s supplement and the reason for the expense of the hotel room.
Toby was wonderful
We have used DialAFlight for over 20 years and would never consider going anywhere else.
Kylie Budinger is just brilliant - everything you could want in a travel consultant
Not sure why, but we never got the booked seats going out, and were split up although still in Premium Economy. Virgin gave us £40 each duty free items for the mistake. Flight back much better. DialAFlight info and follow up good by Vinnie.
DialAFlight never let me down.
Used Stuart for many years and recommend to many friends. Friendly, helpful and patient and always delivers the best hotels..
As always, Max was brilliant! He went that extra mile to ensure everything was beyond our expectations.
Blue Orchid and Coral Mist (where we stayed the first night) were gems, as long as you aren't too worried about the plumbing and breakfasts which one doesn't really need as each room has its own kitchen. Staff were very helpful and its situation on beach was beautiful. The quality of British Airways food was poor.
As always, many thanks Dylan Harris for all your help and support.
Roy Copeland is an absolute gem. He will take on the most complicated travel plans deliver an itinerary with a professionalism and ease that I have never come across with any travel agent anywhere.
We booked a last minute trip to Barbados all based on Danny Sharma’s recommendations. He gave us a great experience
Our holiday plans went without a hitch and we loved every minute. We have two more holidays booked with Mason but they will not be the last.
I'd have liked to choose from more than 2 suggested hotels, one of which was at the cruise ship terminal, but Island House was lovely, albeit on the flight path for Nassau airport, which would have been valuable information to know before we booked.
BA use really old planes on Barbados route. My flatbed needed crew assistance! Toilet door handle fell off! Screen didn’t show any films on outward trip -seat 13 A . Really need newer planes on this route.
Great service from start to finish.
Will be coming back to you for another trip.
As usual, professional helpful staff
Michelle as fab as ever!
Please let the airline know that they need to improve the diabetic meals. It is not only sweet things that need to be reduced but also the amount of carbs.
It was all very good, the room, the meals, and the facilities, including the beach and the service there. We had a good discount for the pool out of action, which did not affect us greatly. The pick up at the airport was rather casual with an old vehicle, but the return was fine.
Great work Gordon and team.
Gordon Hibbert, as ever excellent service
The only slight issue we had was when we arrived in Barbados there didn’t appear to be the private transfer there for us …no one was holding a DialAFlight board up. We eventually got it sorted
Exceptional service
I will definitely be using DialAFlight again. Everyone was very helpful and booking was very easy. All the details we needed were there in our app with no problems. Would definitely recommend to friends
We will be using you again.
Flights and hotel really good. Had to get a room upgrade at Sandpiper - but no extra charge.
Everything worked like clockwork. Your local rep was excellent
Where do you go on holiday when your face is so famous that anonymity is impossible?
Surely the only way is to choose a resort where everyone is as celebrated as you are in their field and as well-off, so guests are used to seeing Julia Roberts in the swimming pool, Daniel Craig in the restaurant, and Hugh Jackman arriving in the elegant lobby?
PURE LUXURY
Step forward the effortlessly luxurious One&Only Ocean Club in aptly named Paradise Island Drive, Nassau. In our bleak midwinter, what you need is something to look forward to, somewhere sunny and sandy and warm. What you need is a trip to the glorious Bahamas.
The archipelago's 16 main islands offer a smorgasbord of leisure activities, from sailing and snorkelling, to golf, diving, fishing, even swimming with sharks -or pigs.
You might favour climbing aboard your own personal mini yellow submarine to dive under the waves and see the multi-coloured marine life.
All these are on offer as well as other unusual experiences, such as beer-or rum-tasting, cigar-rolling trips and interactive chocolate tours (yum!). Or you might just want to flop on a lounger beside the One&Only's extraordinary new infinity pool.
The pool is part of the resort's amazing five-month, multi-million-dollar revamp and a feature with the wow factor that has been a roaring success with guests.
NEW ADDITIONS
While the infinity pool is the most obvious result of the extensive renovation, there is also a new Ocean Pool Grill where you can order soft-shell crab tacos, Bahamian lobster salad, and a killer cheeseburger.
These impressive additions complement existing amenities including the Dune restaurant by culinary wizard Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and a delightful lounge and library where afternoon tea, cigars and fine wines and whiskies are served.
There are more rooms in the Crescent Wing, and some nice private villas with private chef and butler if you really can't face your public (Villa Bougainvillea appeared in Casino Royale). There are also family cottages, a pool with toddler area, and the KidsOnly club.
The Hartford Courtyard has been completely redesigned and transformed into a luxurious, relaxing al fresco lounge. The Hartford Wing rooms have been made bigger and plusher than ever, and feature extraordinary extras such as bathtub TV and $10,000 lavatories that have an inbuilt seat warmer - is this the height of luxury or what?
Guests are well looked after by the resort's butlers, too, who pride themselves in satisfying every whim, from unpacking your luggage to ironing your underwear. Mine was called Prince. I was tempted to order the 'Romantic Turn Down' in the hope that Hugh Jackman might be involved somewhere along the line.
ALL THE TRIMMINGS
Exceptional service also comes in the form of fruit skewers and ice cream, sunscreen and magazines, delivered to you as you sunbathe - wallowing in some busy-doing-nothing, total me-time is apparently what superstars like to do most of all on holiday.
And One&Only Ocean Club, 13 miles from Lynden Pindling International Airport, has other flopping opportunities apart from that infinity pool.
There's the beach, of course, and another gorgeous Versailles pool surrounded by palm trees and hidden away in a quiet spot with the resort's famous terraced garden and cloister ruins as a romantic backdrop. It has its own cafe, too.
WIND DOWN
Alternatively, close the door in the fabulous Balinese-style spa and float away for a few hours of pampering.
If you're really struggling to switch off, there are early-morning yoga sessions every day...
And it's worth taking a sneaky look to left and right of you. You never know who you might be doing the downward-facing dog next to.
British Airways fly non-stop to The Bahamas 4 times a week. Alternatively you can fly via Miami for a great twin-centre holiday alternative.
