Your calls always answered within 5 rings.
Bradley Edy was efficient and easy to reach via email when I had any questions and I was kept in the loop. On return journey when there were flight times changes I was advised in good time. Would use again.
Adrian Crolla did a great job helping organise everything - flights, transfers, hotel all great.
Each time I deal with DialAflight I have had excellent, friendly and very efficient service at a fair cost. Highly recommended by me.
Alll went smoothly and we were delighted with your service. Thank you very much.
As always a first class service.Thank you
We had an amazing, all inclusive deal which Ivor Savage tailormade for us and it all worked out fine. Although our destination was 'Winter Season' the weather was mixed but sunny most days with showers, but always a pleasant 23-24* - warmer than our summer in most of June. Nice to come back to a heatwave!
Loved every minute of the holiday which went like clockwork - thank you Ed
Calvin sorted every single detail for me. Seamless experience as usual. Thank you
Just perfect. Good service, good price, easy comms. Will definitely be back.
Great service and follow up pre trip. Ray's help was much appreciated
First time booking with DialAFlight - everything from the first phone call to Sam to arriving home went like a dream. Airport transfers and day trips in Mauritius were booked with Coquille Bonheur through DialAFlight, who went above and beyond what we expected. Would thoroughly recommended both DialAFlight and Coquille Bonheur.
The hotel was excellent, and I would definitely recommend it.
Perfect, exactly what we asked for and more. Thank you Nicholas
Great service, achieved exactly what we wanted and everything worked.
See you soon for my next trip
Always a superb service booking travel with Ryan
Billy and Orlando are a fantastic support for all my travel arrangements. I always consult with them first before exploring any other venues
Fantastic holiday and service as per usual. Les so helpful the whole way through!
Everyone, particularly Oliver, was great.
Special mention to Karl Patel who had to handle special assistance requests and all the arrangements ran smoothly.
Our outward flight was cancelled and rearranged for the next day. Awaiting compensation from Air Mauritius.
Excellent service and very helpful staff
Another great trip, thank you
Couldn’t be better. All delivered as promised.
Very good support and planning. The flights were tiring and the weather in Seychelles not great - but DialAFlight support was there always
Thank you Kirsty. We had the best holiday after having to cancel for personal reasons the first time. Your support and help was invaluable
Paying for the upgrade was worth it, spoilt now!
We did have an issue while checking into the Marriott in Dubai but an email to Stan and Donovan and this was resolved
5 star service. Would certainly use again. Thanks Bradley
The lounge used by Air Mauritius at Gatwick was a vast improvement on the dreadful lounge used previously at Heathrow. We were informed by email of checking in procedures. Everything went very well.
Perhaps we were mad to go back to the Maldives 20 years after honeymooning there. We remembered it as deliciously romantic, with impossibly white sand and turquoise seas. Bounty Bar stuff. We were young and in the first flush of love – and now we are 50-something.
This time, we picked JA Manafaru because it promised a level of luxury we couldn't possibly have afforded when we got married.
You get a choice of a secluded beach bungalow hidden in the jungle undergrowth with its own private plunge pool and sectioned-off area of beach; or a water villa suspended on stilts over the crystal clear water. Oh, all right then.
I'd always hankered after the idea of stepping off private decking into your own personal bit of sea. In addition we have a hot tub, outdoor shower, a glass floor in the bedroom to watch fish below and a secluded black-tiled infinity pool on the deck.
On our honeymoon island there had been one restaurant with a one-choice menu each day.
But here we have seven options: White Orchid for Asian fusion, Ocean Grill for seafood and steaks served right on the beach, Andiamo for pizza and pasta beside a calm, dark green jungle swimming pool, Infinity, serving salads and sandwiches, Kakuni for a gourmet breakfast spread, The Cellar for dinner and prestigious wines and Horizon Lounge for fabulous smoothies.
We'd gained a few pounds and a few grey hairs since we were last in the Maldives, and the islands have changed too. First time around we chummed-up with other honeymooners on the beach. Now, although we are told the resort is almost full, we stroll the whole island - which is 800 metres long and 600 metres wide - without seeing a soul.
It was on our first honeymoon that I noticed a fundamental difference between me and my beloved - he can happily spend hours lying about in the sun, whereas I need to keep busy.
I won't deny our differences have been the source of stern words over the years. But this is a special holiday, so all bets are off.
We have the options of windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, jet-skiing, wake-boarding, water-skiing and scuba diving, but I book twice daily yoga sessions and leave Jon studiously 'tanning his edges' at the beach, to join the resort's marine biologist on a snorkelling trip.
I am rewarded by the appearance of a huge pod of wild dolphins pirouetting out of the water and performing wonderful synchronised manoeuvres below us – one more item from my bucket list unexpectedly getting a tick alongside it.
You won't find many Maldivian resorts without a spa, and JA Manafaru is no exception. After a rigorous side-by-side couples massage, we are ushered into a side room where a huge round bed has been scattered with petals and bamboo spelling out 'happy second honeymoon'.
Well, inviting indeed. Perhaps 20 years ago we might have thrown the petals aside and caution to the wind, but my husband's massage has rendered him monosyllabic and I still have the imprint of the bed etched on my face. But it was a nice thought.
But later, with a glass of champagne, no kids, incredible comfort and doting attention, I don't mind confessing that the earth shakes - just a little.
Yes, we could have arranged to renew our vows; we could have booked a 'romantic cruise on a love dhoni' - a dhoni is a sailing boat with an auxiliary motor that is unique to the Maldives and has played a significant part in transport between the islands – not to mention romance.
But when the sand is so white and the sea so blue and you don't have to worry about a thing, a place like this could wring romance out of a stone.
