As always, a professional service with updates along the way as necessary. Always pleased with the service provided by DialAFlight.
It all worked perfectly thanks.
DialAFlight were excellent but Spice travel just gave us a letter at the airport and we heard nothing more from them. We had to contact them to find time of transfer back to airport. Hotel would arrange airport transfers so no real need for them. Very happy with DialAFlight though.
Liked the immediate phone pick-up response
Excellent service from Dylan as usual
DialAFlight deliver what they promise. Abbie is always helpful and goes above and beyond to ensure all our travel needs are met.
DialAFlight are the best and Reece you have booked 2 trips for me this year both without any issues so thank you for always providing excellent service.
Thank you team, and massive appreciation for Jessica. Everything went smoothly as usual. Roll on next year
Vincent, the driver that picked me up to and from the airport was very professional and on time.
Callum explained the holiday and hotel accurately to the point it exceeded our expectations. Will definitely use your company again!
Ryan was amazing. Thank you for all your help. Very much appreciated
Ryan who we use regularly is certainly an asset to DialAFlight. I recommended some 20 people and all enjoyed the experience.
The Bodyholiday, organised by Troy was simply superb. Loved the holiday. All went smoothly ….clear instructions, flights on time, private transfers organised via Troy were on time, clean, with AC and such lovely drivers and the room and hotel experience were even better than our previous visit (only place ever revisited ). Also the app on my iPad is great for further info such as links to online entry customs forms to save time and check in.
All very good. Helicopter transfer had to wait for a long time in hot cafe and was not private. Road would have been quicker
Great advice, package put together leaving everything covered. Great communication and follow up prior to trip. Overall excellent service from Jessica. Will definitely use again
Great holiday. Everything went smoothly
Our only disappointment was that the transfer was not a BMW. We were collected and taken back to the airport via a minibus.
Zac provides fantastic service at all times
Excellent value for money package arranged to suit our needs.
Olivia was great, very helpful
The Hotel Rendezvous was excellent in St Lucia. Ross and his colleagues did a great job in finding the hotel, booking the flights and transfers. It was one of the best holidays we have ever had
DialAFlight were helpful during the flight booking process and provided updates by phone and email. Excellent service and we will use DialAFlight for our next trip
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.
Toby was wonderful
As always, many thanks Dylan Harris for all your help and support.
Great help finding our holiday - excellent support to book what we wanted and follow through to ensure we were organised to travel
I loved the personal service and the phone call before my flight to make sure everything was OK. Brilliant
Marshall put together the perfect holiday to St Lucia for us. Will definitely return to DialAFlight
Paul Jones provides an excellent service. I couldn’t ask for more.
Amelia did a great job yet again
Last Christmas, my sun-loving mother opened a small box, which had an airline luggage tag inside it. We were off together to Saint Lucia, one of the Caribbean's most attractive islands.
Specifically, to Anse Chastanet, in the jungle on the west coast of the island near Soufriere. It doesn't allow children, and so this promised to be a complete break for both of us (it does allow grown-up children, so I was allowed to go!).
Embracing Saint Lucian culture, the rooms and restaurants are decorated with native fabrics and the smiling staff are resplendent in traditional dress, with small numbers in their hats that reflect their marital status; one for single and looking; two for engaged; three for happily married. We liked to keep an eye on their hats throughout our stay for any change of status.
The hotel sits on a steep hill. On one side, rooms look over a perfectly formed sandy cove; on the other, the view is the Pitons - those dramatic mountains that rise out of the sea like prehistoric fangs.
It all reflects architect owner Nick Troubetzkoy's passion for nature. He plainly wants the foliage and the flowers, and the birdsong, to be an integral part of your holiday. The resort encompasses 600 lush tropical acres with two soft sand beaches. It's a World Heritage Site and the resort’s two crystal-clear bays are part of a designated marine reserve protecting miles of colourful coral reefs teeming with tropical fish.
Mr Troubetzkoy is obviously committed to green principles and is extremely environmentally conscious.
A dozen of the rooms are tucked in behind the coconut palms that line the beach and the remainder are built on the flower carpeted hillside. To make the most of the panoramic views and the refreshing trade winds, the octagonal whitewashed cottages come with wrap-around flower-draped balconies and louvered windows.
There are some very quirky and appealing touches to some of the suites. In one, the balcony is built around a full-grown red gommier tree; in another a flamboyant tree drapes its red blossoms around the balcony. Some have their fourth wall open entirely to the vistas, yet are still completely private.
The ethos is to embrace the outdoors: there is no glass, rather shutters that allow the gentle breeze to drift in.
No phones, no TVs, no air-con, not even any curtains.
We were woken each morning by the jungle cacophony, as though the birds were screaming for us to get up and make the most of every moment.
A gentle routine started to emerge.
After breakfast in the treehouse restaurant, I'd put on my gym gear. But instead of pounding the cross-trainers, I'd spend a sweaty hour exploring the jungle trails behind neighbouring beach, Anse Mammet. That took care of any guilt about spending the rest of the day horizontal.
My mother normally loves nothing more than to be out exploring the local markets, finding a great fishmonger and creating abundant feasts for her extended family. Here, she had little choice but to relax.
One afternoon, seduced by the promise of colourful reefs and abundant marine life, we boarded a boat for a snorkelling safari at the foot of the Pitons.
Julia, our guide, led us for an hour, wending our way above the underwater rock formations, signalling to creatures hiding in dark crevices or camouflaged in the coral.
She taught us how to dive to the shallow sea floor to get a better look at the shy puffer fish and pointed out a turtle drifting past.
Above Anse Chastanet lies Jade Mountain, a sister hotel that is different in character.
It's a modern structure that looks like something from the sci-fi series Lost, with a maze of walkways and bridges leading to the 24 huge rooms.
Our week was spent eating our way through the menus of the different restaurants. Our favourite evening was spent at Apsara, on the torch-lit beach, the waves a few metres from our table.
The food is a fusion of Caribbean Indian, like nothing we'd tasted before and utterly delicious. A week of eating, sleeping, swimming, snorkelling, reading and chatting passed in a flurry.
The bond between my mother and me has always been strong, but to spend a whole week together in such glorious surroundings was a rare treat.
My mother said it was one of the best holidays she's ever had - and I don't think she was just being polite.
