Delighted that you managed to avoid any issues with the French Air Traffic Controllers strike, well done.
The hotel Amadeus in Seville was excellent, so convenient for walking to all the main attractions.
Thanks Shaun - another lovely holiday
Brilliant service as usual..
The personal touch, quick phone answering and helpline are very reassuring.
Gavin brilliant as always
Tristan was very helpful and friendly, I would certainly book flights with you again.
I felt almost guilty for my return flight being on time. Snow on Friday 10th March delayed the Birmingham flight by 8 hours and many others similarly!
Could not fault Alfie and his exceptional service
Absolutely 5 star. Thanks Rudi
Always a pleasure to deal with Richard, everything ran smoothly, 5 star service.
Flown with you many times over many years. Thanks once again for a great trip
Alfie sorted out a lovely hotel for me in Puerto de Cruz....it was in a super location. The hotel did not provide any food but the area had loads of bars and cafes. The hotel in Costa Adeje was where I stayed last year and its location is also fantastic and the staff there are really lovely and helpful.
Seamless from booking to landing, couldn't ask for more. Joey Verner is absolutely outstanding - 1st class - advises on and sorts all my queries and bookings in a jiffy, without any fuss
Great customer service. Thank you Jordan
Thanks to Glen who planned my holiday - everything went smoothly as planned
Eric and colleagues were brilliant!
A great trip, nice hotel in excellent position, faultless travel arrangements as usual by our favourite DialAFlight.
Alawys extremly helpful and very good service -have been using DialAFlight for many years
First class service
BA were not on time either out or in - as usual. God knows what you are meant to do if you have a connecting flight when you fly BA! The Club element was poorly managed, almost non existent at Las Palmas - both checking in and boarding.
Love dealing direct with the same voices, year after year, and trip after trip: Nick, Bailey and the team sort out our holidays, rugby trips and short breaks!
Another excellent trip, all very well-organised. Lovely hotel in a great location.
Good communication, great service.
Usual excellent service from a great company..
Everything was perfect. All your staff were very helpful, especially Oliver Orr.
Excellent in every way
First class service from Elizabeth.
Bradley was excellent - very helpful and went through everything
We always appreciate the help of Howard Crafter
My aim was to combine relaxation with a health break to boost energy levels - so I packed my bags and headed to Marbella in Spain for four days of sunshine, yoga and 'wellness'.
Much of Marbella - or 'Marbs' as it's known by the TOWIE crowd - is a far cry from what the ITV reality show would have viewers believe. A friend and I checked in for a three-night Discover Yoga programme at the Puente Romano, a five-star resort boasting a Six Senses Spa - synonymous with high-end pampering.
It’s a combination of Hatha yoga, meditation and breathing techniques and treatments including a signature massage and facial, and promises to leave us de-stressed and reconnected.
Puente Romano, just 30 minutes from Malaga airport and part of The Leading Hotels Of The World, is spread over 55,000 square metres, in the style of an Andalusian village, surrounded by subtropical gardens, waterfalls, four swimming pools and nine restaurants.
It leads guests to the long stretch of sandy beach – the ‘Golden Mile’ that connects Marbella to Puerto Banus (where you will spot someone from TOWIE in the summer), and where guests can book watersports such as jet skiing, paddle-boarding and sailing.
The resort is also renowned for its tennis stadium, which hosts professional tournaments with top players, including Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic, and which also doubles as a venue for summer concerts.
It also has 14 courts, two golf courses and an equestrian centre.
There are 259 rooms spread over 27 three-storey villas. Our room boasts a large bathroom featuring double shower and tub, and we have twin beds and a spacious lounge area leading to a terrace, perfect for drinks in the summer.
As well as yoga (usually held on the beach, but, as we’re in early season, it’s in a studio with panoramic views), our package includes treatments at the divine Six Senses spa.
The soothing spa music gets us in the mood as soon as we walk through the glass doors, to a lounge area featuring a floor-to-ceiling timber wall with cosy seats.
We get changed and head to the main wet area – it’s pretty impressive. It features a bright blue hydrotherapy pool with a huge ‘rainfall’ window looking out over the Mediterranean.
I try out each of the jets promising to relieve the stress in my shoulders and legs, before moving on to ones that massage my stomach, thighs and arms.
There’s also a cold plunge pool (which I’m not brave enough to try), ice showers (ditto), a herbal steam room, a sauna and a hammam.
Or there are heated loungers, taking in the stunning architecture boasting high ceilings and local décor.
My therapist comes to find me and leads me to one of the six treatment rooms, which are all modern in design with blue and white painted tiles.
Included in our stay are a signature massage, which goes some way to work out the knots in my back, and an Indian head massage, which left me relaxed but with very oily hair.
I also booked a collagen rejuvenation facial, which lasted 80 minutes. Although I came out looking refreshed and relaxed, I’m not sure it knocked off the 10 years I was hoping for.
Next we book in for our first yoga session.
As a beginner, I’m not expecting to feel or see anything in the way of results, but our teacher is amazing.
As well as breathing exercises that reduce stress, she teaches us the basics of meditation, which she says will help us switch off after a busy day. Before long, we’re stretching and doing various poses, each designed to energise the body.
I went into the class feeling tired, and by the end of it, I feel wide awake and like I’ve had a decent workout – so there’s definitely something in it.
Our stay has been short but there’s been one aim in mind – relaxation. But what Puente Romano offers guests is the option to do as little or as much as they please when it comes to ‘being good’.
Obviously, as it’s based in one of the biggest party resorts in Spain, it means that it’s perhaps not the ideal location if you’re looking for a complete detox.
But if you want a good night out, with a couple of mojitos, there are plenty of very loud bars just a short walk away.
And although there are healthy options on the menu at the restaurant where we dine for breakfast, guests can also order a full English followed by slices of sugar-filled cakes – washing it all down with a glass or two of bubbly.
But for those who like to mix their detox with a little retox, it’s an ideal place.
