Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
All went as promised and a great time was had.
Finn was our Travel Manager. Great holiday - we'll be booking with him again next year.
I must thank Jamie and his team. An excellent job with a complicated itinerary. Many thanks DialAFlight. Made my birthday a memory that will be with me and my family forever.
Nicole rocks, amazing asset to DialAFlight
Annabelle is amazing. Excellent knowledge, very professional and always looks after my family. Another trip of a lifetime
Air Mauritius is not good - delays both ways.
Phoebe was fantastic. Everything ran like clockwork.
Excellent service. Always someone at the end of the phone to answer queries and sort any issues. Well informed staff who do answer promptly and they do what they promise! I highly recommend them .
Thanks for making these arrangements for our trip to Sri Lanka. Everything worked perfectly.
The travel manager was great in supporting Patrick with his flight experience and he had a great holiday. The flight back was very nice and relaxed.
Always better to have a person to talk to
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Keely was great and we look forward to booking with you again in the very near future.
A complex booking that was really well put together and worked really well. We couldn't have had such a wonderful family holiday without the expert help and guidance of Ben, who was absolutely brilliant throughout.
Safe journeys to and back. Smooth flight. All in all very good
Hotel was amazing and Danny Perez was so helpful throughout.
Fabulous trip. No curve balls. Everything worked so smoothly and it was great not having to think about any of the detail beforehand or during. Thanks Jenson!
Everything went like clockwork
We had excellent support and ideas on where to go and what to see. Tammy easily adapted our plans as our needs changed. She sourced excellent partners in Dubai, Sri Lanka and the Maldives who also made sure they were available with advice and information, so making our whole experience stress-free.
Once again well organized and great hotel pick by Adrian
Always very good
Dominic sorted a 'once in a lifetime' holiday to the Maldives. He was responsive with emails and also rang me when needed. This is the best service of any travel company I have used and I can honestly say they have been faultless with organising two huge holidays with 5 people each time. He makes it all stress free
Stevi was excellent. Very responsive. Always attentive with the patience of Job (biblical character). DialAFlight never fail to disappoint. I have flown with you guys for around 30 years which is testimony to the great service received. I should have a loyalty card!
Good communication with Billy on arranging the holiday we wanted. Happy to arrange a tailormade Tour for us and get the flights and schedule we asked for. Good follow up and always available on the phone or email to chat things through. Very happy with the service and support
Excellent response time when problems arose, thank you
Kanifushi Island was beyond our expectations and a fabulous place to visit, truly paradise. We would like to sincerely thank DialAFlight for arranging our fantastic Honeymoon and would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone for their future holidays.
Once again, a first class service from DialAFlight
Wayne was informative and provided me with the best possible service. The holiday was brilliant from start to finish
Of all the holidays I’ve had this has to be up there with the best! I have a happy wife which means happy life. Thank you Arthur for your hotel suggestions
Molly is a diamond! We only use DAF now, mostly because of Molly and the incredible service we get. Keep it up!
I don’t think you could have helped more. We were very impressed.
The Maldives gives me the most extraordinary sensation, it is so beautiful - I feel that when I look down I see Paradise, and when I look up I see Heaven.
It comprises more than 1,200 tiny islands - the majority of them are uninhabited but about ten per cent are used by the tourism industry.
For my latest trip, I stayed with my husband Alex at Mirihi, which boasts palm-fringed beaches and sand that is as soft as talcum powder. You won't need your shoes from the moment you step off the seaplane and on to the jetty after your 30-minute transfer from the capital Male.
At just 1,200ft long and 160ft wide, this privately-owned island is one of the lesser known to UK holidaymakers. It is like living on your own private island - classy yet understated and not at all stuffy.
It's the perfect place for anyone looking for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation, or those who want to try some of the best diving in the world. If you are a foodie, you won't be disappointed either.
The 160 members of staff look impeccable in their brightly-coloured uniforms and are a credit to Guenther Kofler, the resort's manager.
Guenther and his right-hand woman Jasmin are the perfect hosts for such an intimate place. Every inch of the resort is pristine and the staff so attentive that you feel every bit as relaxed as one of the petals of the flower Mirihi is named after.
The accommodation is Maldivian with a Swiss twist - luxurious bathrooms, designer furnishings, a sitting area with a sound system, and a Nespresso coffee machine with complimentary pods each day.
There are a total of 37 palm-thatched villas - six on the beach come with outdoor bathrooms, and 30 water villas that have steps straight into the lagoon. Staff outnumber guests by two to one.
As you relax on your sunbed watching the crystal-clear waters ripple against the shore, you can expect to meet Shahula and Sithura each day. They will offer you a cold towel and a slice of thirst-quenching watermelon.
The food is outstanding, from the a la carte menu in Muraka or the buffet in Dhonveli. You can help yourself to fresh lobster or oysters on seafood night, or head for the incredible display of sushi on Asian night. The food looks almost too good to eat.
Felix, the head chef, is one the most passionate people I have ever met, and he is proud to give guests a tour of Dhonveli restaurant each evening to show off his creations.
I did visit the island's gym three times but I'm sure I returned to the UK carrying a few extra pounds. I think I took comfort from Felix's words of wisdom. 'Laura, you are on holiday,' he told me. 'It's fine!'
Although relaxation at Mirihi is key, should you wish to participate in any excursions or activities, the team are happy to book them on your behalf. We took a half-day trip to watch whale sharks, and we also got to swim with dolphins, manta rays and turtles. An unforgettable experience.
We enjoyed wine-tasting with Alexander, who is not officially the island's sommelier but might as well have been. There is the option of rum-tasting, too - Mirihi has the biggest collection in the Maldives, with 130 varieties - but I was happy to stick with the wine, otherwise I think I would have been out cold for the rest of our stay.
What you won't find on Mirihi is a swimming pool, but why would you need one when you have a clear-water lagoon less than 15ft from your bedroom?
The resort had the option of building a pool when the site was renovated in 2014, but opted against it as the thought of individuals fighting for sunbeds was not in their remit. Having visited islands with and without a pool, I think they made the right decision. We didn't miss having one.
However, one thing I can't live without when I'm on holiday is a spa, and the therapists at the Duniye Spa on the island are some of the best. Needless to say, I visited frequently.
Throughout the day at Mirihi, you can use the complimentary kayaks, try your hand at windsurfing or snorkel in the reef to spot the spectacularly coloured fish.
I was happy to kick back, relax and enjoy a caipirinha while watching the sunset in the bar at Muraka, and sit and read my book - I certainly made the most of the amazingly relaxing atmosphere before boarding my flight home to work and reality.
