As usual Jordan arranged everything perfectly. Thanks once again.
Lloyd and Chloe were amazing!
Small blip - H10 Marina in Barcelona is adjacent to a building at the back which had very loud music coming from a bar. Moved rooms to the front and then much better
I can not praise DialAFlight more highly. Spencer has been so incredible, professional , caring and helped me through a most stressful situation to get me and my husband back to the UK as fast as possible from Taiwan having received the news that my father had died. I cannot think of a better organisation to manage and book my flights
As always your arrangements were perfect. Conrad and all went very smoothly
The hotel chosen for us in the centre of Malaga by Cody was perfect. A beautiful hotel
All good
They couldn’t do enough for us. They even did my boarding passes on my way back as I couldn’t print them off. I will always book with you. Many thanks
All went well as usual.
You organised an excellent holiday where everything ran very smoothly. We will use you again.
Amazing! Takes all the stress out of booking flights and sorting problems if they arise
I have already recommended you
Outstanding service throughout as expected from previous experience. I would recommend DialAFlight to anybody looking for timely professional and friendly help with travelling
Great service, prices and communication Had a great weekend in Berlin. Accommodation was lovely - a kettle in the room would have been nice for the first thing cuppa but that’s it! Recommend DialAFlight 100%
Robert is amazing
Exceptional service throughout
Darryll Hansford was, as usual, very helpful in organising this cruise

Exceptional service delivery as always which is why we have used you since 2015! The Pulitzer Hotel in Amsterdam was superb!
Another brilliant trip, as always. Thanks for sorting this one out and at such short notice. We will be back soon
We had an amazing time by simply making a call to Tommy
As ever Matthew and colleagues were efficient, friendly and delivered
All went well and the flight was on time
Darren was very clear about the instructions. And all the information we needed was sent to us just before departure so that we could print it all off
There is so much more to Mallorca than Magaluf. I had never been to the largest of the Balearic Islands before heading to picturesque Port de Soller and, admittedly, prior to my visit, the first (and only) thing I associated with Mallorca was the infamous resort town.
However, from the picturesque hill-top location of the Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel and Spa, which is nestled among the Tramuntana mountain range, you'd be hard-pressed to believe you're on the same planet, never mind the same island.
Just a 30-minute drive north from Palma Airport, this five-star hotel houses 121 sea or mountain facing rooms spread across 11 buildings. All boast a private balcony or terrace, complete with a cushioned sunbed to take utmost advantage of the sea views.
The casual bistro specialises in seafood and regional tapas, including several varieties of paella, but it's the location - at the highest point of the resort - that is its most noteworthy feature.
Book in for supper to enjoy the sunset views over the Mediterranean. The resort's Cap Roig is a more formal affair known for its fresh local seafood and impressive tasting menu that changes seasonally.
While it may be tempting to lounge by one of the hotel's two infinity pools, a 10-minute walk down the hill leads you to the small harbourfront town of Port de Soller, home to the only beach of note along Mallorca's north west coast.
There's a promenade lined with cafes, touristy shops and plenty of water sport and climbing rental facilities.
The area's known for its cycling routes, one of the more famous being the Coll de Soller, which crosses the Tramuntana and connects Palma with the port of Soller. In fact, the resort of Alcudia in the north is a favourite of Britain's pro cycling team, Team Sky, during the winter months due to its challenging landscape.
While I'm the type of person who prefers an exercise bike to a brutal uphill climb, my travelling partner did - successfully, I might add - take on the 38-mile ride, which included 55 switchbacks and six miles of incline.
The area is also a great base for walks and hikes, such as the hour-long trail that takes you to the Cap Gros lighthouse, offering panoramic bay views. For those who prefer to go further afield, there are plenty of tour companies offering Tramuntana mountain treks, both in organised groups and privately guided walks.
On Saturdays, a gentler walk will lead you to Soller town centre where you can take advantage of the extensive pop-up marketplace. Don't want to walk? A tram runs along the promenade to town, about three miles away.
Until mid-afternoon, you'll find everything from jewellery to local artisan goods and fruit - the area is famed for its Navel and Canoneta oranges. In both Port de Soller and Soller, there are also plenty of al fresco dining options available too. And, conveniently, Jumeirah runs a regular shuttle service into town.
Another highlight of the sprawling Jumeirah Port Soller is the Talise Spa which boasts a hydrotherapy pool and ice cave. There are regionally-focused treatments too that give a nod to the citrus groves, almonds and olive oil native to the area.
One thing's for sure: a stay here will banish any preconceived notions you may have once had about the infamous Spanish island. And, for the record, I still have not been to Magaluf.
