Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Always a great comfort to know you are there to assist. Thanks Claire and the team. Will be using you again
Outstanding service as always!
Great hotel and location, would highly recommend. Thank you!
Sean was amazingly thorough and made sure my trip was just what I wanted. It made a wonderful break for me
Couldn’t ask for more. As usual, Damian delivered his superlative service.
Pete and Harvey give amazing customer service. I wish other companies did the same!
Very happy that you were able to arrange Eurostar journey to Paris for us and the hotel in the Latin Quarter.
Always excellent! Fantastic service.
Ashley was excellent as always.
A brilliant travel company - we wouldn’t even contemplate using anybody else. Always our ‘go to’ for any foreign travel and the service/response you are given is immediate, efficient and (in our case) endlessly patient!
I recommend your business to everyone I travel with. I find the information I receive with the paperwork excellent. Thank you, as always, wonderful job.
Despite request for rooms close together we were about as far away as was possible but Ikos did upgrade us to better rooms for last two nights. However, overall excellent.
Thank you. Five stars
Will continue to book all our flights through DialAFlight. Helen Jones has always given us excellent service over the last 20 years. Her dedication to her customers is the very best.
Small suggestion: Specify if car hire is on airport or another location clearly in the itinerary. Source additional competitive providers for transfers. Overall Jenson is an absolute superstar!
Bradley is a different class - top job from start to finish.
Noah was extremely helpful and informative which was very reassuring throughout the booking process and again during our holiday. Thank you so much - we will definitly recommend DialAFlight to our friends and family.
It all worked out just fine. Many thanks.
Very helpful
You really went above and beyond - thank you
An amazing trip organised by Philippa - quite a task for a family of twelve ranging from 80 years down to 18 months. She organised an unforgettable trip for my husband and I to Croatia so we didn’t think twice about contacting her again for this trip.
Cameron, Gino and Amy are all so excellent in everything they do for us. A fabulous team and experts. We never go anywhere else
When booking flights with kids, would be great if you could make sure that the airline provides child appropriate food. There was no kids food served on the BA flights.
Can not recommend your service too highly. Always excellent. Thank you.
Customer service is excellent - I have been using this company for years
Always first class
As always excellent from Bradley. After having to miss my original trip due to ill health he had it all rearranged within days. Highly recommend.
Helen has been a star
We have being using DialAFlight for over 20 years and have booked with the same person all that time! Perfect service like this is sadly rare. You can phone up and get answered by a real person! Other companies should take notice of the way DialAFlight operates!
Excellent service. I definitely would recommend. We use DialAFlight all the time when booking a holiday.
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.
