Never disappointed when booking with these guys. Excellent service as always
Another great holiday!
Friendly and competent as usual
Keep up the good work!
Wouldn't go to any other travel agent
As always excellent service. The hotel was very good, the staff were so nice. Only comment was the bus service from the hotel to Port Soller was very erratic and they need more restaurants other than two Spanish ones in the hotel
Excellent
Friendly professional staff.
Always first class service
Reid is the best travel agent in the world - an absolute gem
Superb follow up from all staff members. Always phoned back when promised and looked after our party every step of the way. So happy with the service and advice. Thank you so much for everything!
Everything went smoothly, one connection was a little tight but turned out OK.
Your service was splendid but easyJet's was quite appalling and we were delayed 3 days only struggling back via Madrid and expensively, too. I'll be in touch for advice on how to deal with my claim.
Ivor was absolutely superb. His patience in finding us the right holiday at our budget was much appreciated and the communication was excellent. Thanks to him, you have a customer for life!
Philip Bardsley's service is really great
Ross has been excellent and a credit to your company
Jarvis and his team continue to provide an excellent service
Another fantastic trip organised by Cody who has booked numerous trips for us. He is always very helpful, reliable and gives good advice too. I always feel in good hands knowing I can contact Cody him anytime.
My contact at DialAFlight was absolutely amazing - his customer support was outstanding. Hats off to Toby
Great service and everything went perfectly
Excellent service, thank you
Superb as always
It was great from the first phone call. The emails and call before I left were reassuring. I will be back.
Always a pleasure to have you book my arrangements
Very good customer service
A good hotel but entirely unsuitable for people in our age group. Maybe a little research into hotels offered could be wise.
Great little week away .
Patrick went above and beyond the call of duty to help me with check in tech hiccups and reserving extra legroom.
Assistance did not work at either end. Gatwick absolutely rubbish .. staff trying hard, management should all be sacked from their vastly overpaid jobs. Same in Alicante. That is the truth of it, which should not be covered up.
As usual Philip and his team were fantastic.
Palma's picturesque Old Town may seem an unlikely gastronomic getaway but those who fancy a stay in Mallorca's capital can take their pick from about 3,000 places to eat.
Creative chefs have been lured here by the abundance of fresh produce, including seafood, Mallorcan black pig, sea salt, olives and almonds.
Gourmet markets have sprung up in the maze of medieval cobbled streets, full of tempting smells of cheese, herbs and bread.
Palacio Can Marqués, an 18th century mansion in the Old Town transformed into a stylish boutique hotel, makes the perfect base for a weekend of gourmet delights.
Beyond the lobby, with cathedral-high ceiling and soaring staircase, there are 13 individually decorated suites mixing original features - wood panelling, honey-coloured stone floors, outsized fireplaces - with bold art and hand-woven Nepalese rugs.
The courtyard garden is ideal for a chilled glass of cava. Then have dinner under the restaurant's vaulted ceiling, where Belgian chef Cedric Lebon serves up French and Mediterranean classics - a top choice is a three-course meal of onion soup, a succulent sirloin steak and an irresistible Ile Flottante (meringue and cream).
If you should spot distinctive hexagonal-shaped boxes at Palma Airport and are curious to know what's inside them, you won't find odd-shaped hats but a family-sized ensaïmada - Mallorca's emblematic pastry.
Ensaïmada are thought to date back to the 17th century - some believe their coiled shape was inspired by Moorish turbans - so where better to try them than at the city's oldest cafe, Ca'n Joan de S'aigo? It opened in 1700 and - with ornately-tiled floor and marble-topped tables - still exudes old-fashioned charm. Go for a selection - dusted with icing sugar, topped with apricots and stuffed with pumpkin jam - and order hot chocolate so thick you can stand your spoon up in it.
For a modern take on tapas, head to sleek El Camino. As in its sibling restaurant in London's Soho, Barrafina, you might have to queue for a stool at the long wooden bar, but where better to nibble on plump green olives and sip cava?
The menu celebrates seasonal Mediterranean produce such as goat's cheese stuffed zucchini flowers or perfectly grilled octopus in a tangy mojo sauce. Don't miss the divine Tarta de Santiago (almond cake).
La Rosa Vermuteria & Colmado is a retro tapas bar with a twist - and a long list of vermouths (still all the rage in Spain).
A Negroni is a mix of Vermouth, gin and Campari - served with slivers of iberico ham, to precede hearty local dishes such as cod croquettes or milk-fed lamb chops.
At the two-storey Mercat de l'Olivar stalls were piled high with vibrantly-coloured fruit and local meats and cheeses. In the fish market, swordfish heads sit among slabs of tuna and you can dine on oysters and sushi, or buy prawns and have them grilled in one of the bars upstairs.
To stock up on gourmet goodies, head to the older and smaller Mercat de Santa Catalina on the seafront. Pick up Flor de Sal d'es Trenc (sea salt) flavoured with hibiscus, sobrassada sausage, made with indigenous black pig, and jars of ramillete tomatoes - perfect for spreading on bread to create pan con tomate.
Smaller still, La Pajarita Bomboneria is an old-school deli that's been in the same family for six generations. As well as speciality charcuterie, they stock local Cabraboc gin, Cas Misser olive oil and Binigrau wine.
Fera Restaurant and Bar is in a beautifully restored old palace, combining ancient stone archways, sleek furniture and art-filled walls. Innovative creations from Austrian-born chef Simon Petutschnig really sets it apart.
Making full use of the bountiful produce - along with the restaurant's organic garden - he blends local and Asian flavours to create 'borderless Mediterranean' cuisine.
The seven-course 'Art tasting menu' was both decorative and delicious. Sea in an Oyster Shell - an oyster, mussel and organic caviar - came on a bed of volcanic stone with shells, seaweed and waves of dry ice. Wagyu beef with textures of potato, apple and parsnip was followed by a sublime chocolate dessert with bites of brownie, mousse and the Japanese citrus fruit yuzu.
Just like Palma, it was a feast for all the senses.
