Using DialAFlight took all the stress and worry out of booking our honeymoon. Would definitely use you again.
Excellent service, trusted advice.
All arrangements for our recent holiday to St Lucia were perfect
Excellent as always. I will continue to recommend.
One of the few holidays we've been on that was actually better than the already amazing descriptions given! Fantastic hotel and beautiful island!
Superb service from beginning to end.
Great customer service. Craig was excellent.
Great help . I would recommend family and friends
Everything went well
Suggestions on bars near the hotel were really good
Shane went over and above to be helpful.
Billy was really helpful. He was recommended by family and I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends
Always an excellent service from the team -keep it up
This is the sixth or seventh holiday I have booked with Ryan. His customer service skills and holiday expertise are in a league of their own. I have recommended him to many others, who also agree.
Luke has been looking after my travel for 20 + years. It is always a pleasure to plan a trip as he has so much knowledge.
Another great holiday arranged by Stan
As always, terrific and reliable service - no wonder we keep coming back!
Great service. Phone contact to make sure all was in order. Immediate response when there was a query. Will use again.
Curtis recommended using Fast Track at St Lucia Airport. Thank you it saved so much time.
Booked return flights to St Lucia on British Airways for eight people. DialAFlight, as always, were excellent. BA, on the other hand, were awful. So many cutbacks, it shows. Also, one member of our party has a damaged bag, and BA have made it impossible to claim! Thought this was worth mentioning.
Callum did an amazing job
Every aspect of our trip went perfectly. Thank you Otis and the team for all you help.
Just brilliant service as ever - and you sorted our problem whilst away at the resort. Thank you, Libby!
The fact that you can ring and get an answer is a huge bonus and also if your contact is not there you can be assured someone else will quickly get on top of your query. Friendly and efficient
All went according to plan. The hotel was excellent - a very good suggestion by you as it suited our needs exactly. Thanks to Jessica for arranging everything so efficiently, we had a wonderful holiday.
Howard was excellent in helping us with all aspects of the trip, we really appreciated his expertise and speedy assistance.
We received excellent service and I cannot see how you could improve it.
Really appreciated Kylie's help and support with all the forms.
The hire car arrangements were not explained. Over 65 years you need a doctor's letter to hire a car in St Lucia.
Not keen on the Virgin seating arrangement being at an angle. Less privacy and I would prefer to either face the front or the rear. Overall experience Virgin much better than BA - shame about the seats
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.
