No stress at all
Fantastic as always
I have every confidence in you.
Great service as always
Just keep going - you're doing great
Alex Gache is the best travel manager we have had the pleasure to work with in 30 yrs of holiday planning .
You saved our trip in the face of a total nightmare. Thank you!
Thanks to Tara for arranging assistance through Malaga airport for our son in his wheelchair. When we arrived at Malaga airport there was a clearly marked intercom near the entrance to the terminal for disabled passengers. When I used it, the person I spoke to checked our son’s name was on the system, asked us to stay there and within 10 minutes an escort arrived in a buggy to transport the whole party through the airport from check in, through security and straight to the gate. Very impressed!
Very informative - lots of updates. Very helpful and friendly - would definitely recommend Danny Sharma.
Very good - would use you again for flights and car. Very pleased
Nadia a star as always!
Ross was great. We felt more confident to travel (with all that is currently going on in the travel industry) knowing he was there should problems arise.
Superb service - have already recommended you to many people! So impressed that you did all of our online booking for us as we were away from home and struggling on a mobile phone with poor internet. Thank you very much!
Jenson, is the best
We had problems with our return flight on BA. Finn and Amelia were truly amazing and managed to get us back to London.
Know you’ll always be there to help at any time. Very reassuring
Good communication from Lee Coughtrey. Excellent service.
Raphael was super helpful
Everything was perfect - I recommend this company to everyone.
Never disappointed when booking with these guys. Excellent service as always
Wouldn't go to any other travel agent
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
Jarvis and his team continue to provide an excellent service
Great service and everything went perfectly
A good hotel but entirely unsuitable for people in our age group. Maybe a little research into hotels offered could be wise.
As usual Philip and his team were fantastic.
Thanks for all your help - we have had a fantastic time this week
Good broker communication.
Brilliant service from Jamie
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.
