Kaleemera Chris,

I hope this email finds you well. I just wanted to say a great BIG thank you for the holiday of a lifetime!

Greece was amazing- the places we visited unforgettable, beaches breath taking and the people so friendly! I loved Athens and our hotel had an amazing view of the Acropolis all lit up at night. The city tour was amazing and aside from that we also visited other monuments and museums, such a rich history and culture.

The Naxos Imperial is a stunning resort and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there not to mention the private beach only 70m's away!!!! I loved that the sea was our road and enjoyed the ferry rides to and from the islands, Mykonos is like no other place and our hosts at The Charissi Hotel could not have offered us more personal service! They were such a friendly couple and we enjoyed the island and toured its epic villages.

We stayed at an unbelievably beautiful resort in Santorini. We went on a boat through to the volcanic island, climbed to the top, visited the springs saw the donkeys (but used the cable carts!) and experienced the magical sunsets.

Our GATS agents were friendly,efficient and always ready and waiting to pick us up.

There's so much more to tell I could write a book, but you know it all! THANK YOU from us both, We'll recommend it to everyone and when we've saved enough Greece is a definite must do again!
Stay well and wishing you success for the rest of 2011! 

Buoyant Regards

Hard to believe but it’s all over and we’re back at work.

Thanks for the role that you played in making such a memorable holiday for us.
Everything went like clockwork and the holiday can only be described as fantastic.

I will certainly use you again and have already recommended you to several friends.

Thanks Again

Good morning Chantelle,

Sorry to reply only today, but my pc and email settings decided they were still on holiday and I was cut-off from the rest of the world. But today I am back and back on air, so to speak.

We had a wonderful time!!! Everything was truly awesome, from the hotel, the weather, the sea creatures I saw snorkeling, windsurfing, the food, the friendliness and more. I can really recommend The Sand to anyone that wants to go there!

Just one thing I would add though… It would be wise to take an underwater camera with if you like snorkeling… Thanks again for all your friendly help, advice and everything. We did truly have a dream honeymoon.
I’ll send you a few pictures of the resort either later today or tomorrow…
All of the best on your side also and thanks again for everything! It was amazing!

The Sands have a few very good plus points to where they are located. One being that they are the last in the whole string hotels from Flic n Flac. This means they beach traffic is almost nothing in terms of hawkers and when they do come they only stop at the boat house at the end of the hotel. This makes the beach very tranquil.

Another major advantage, if you like snorkeling, is that they marked there swimming area in the sea with packed stings of large boulders. This houses a huge number of ocean life and anyone that want to try or snorkeling will be very pleasantly surprised and the amount and different species you can see just at the hotel. The reef is also very close to the hotel and therefore the snorkeling trips are close by and you can spend easily an hour there and not even see 20% of it all. Oh, and they supply you free of charge with fins and goggles. Even if you snorkel at the hotels “rocks”.

The food was amazing! I haven’t been to many places so I can not compare, but we enjoyed every mornings breakfast and the dinners in the evening had a different theme every night we were there.

This is just a few, but I’ll add pictures later. Have to run for long meeting now unfortunately. I’ll definitely recommend The Sand… and your services for anyone who wants to over there!

Kind regards
Gavin

Greece Holiday - travelled from 5 Oct – 16 Oct

Thank you so much for organising this trip we had a fabulous time.  It was a holiday that we will remember forever.  Everything worked like clock work, from the air port transfers, the hotels where we were upgraded to a better room each time as the hotel was empty;  to the collection transfer from the hotel, the ferries; flights and the food on Turkish air was excellent.

Thank you so much again.

Thank you so much

Maldives Holiday

As for the Maldives - Mihiri Island Resort

It was simply the most wonderful holiday that Mary Ann and I have ever had. The staff from the Manager (I think his name was Martin and his wife) down to the cleaners went out of their way to please us. The food was absolutely amazing, the platters were continually replenished, so much so that we only had lunch once. The island setting was something to behold, the rooms were well appointed with good privacy and the snorkelling was totally amazing.

On the down side it is a long trip to get there and back from SA, with the return journey being particularly arduous, I would recommend a stop over of 1 or 2 days in Dubai on the return leg.

It was really the most amazing holiday, I commented to the manager that try as I may I was unable to find any thing to complain about.

Mauritius Holiday

Good morning Chantelle

As you can see attachment myself and my husband has just returned from the Villas Mont Choisy in Mauritius where we had a wonderful time thanks to all those involved in arranging our trip. We certainly would highly recommend the place to all we can and also hope to return there sometime. Thanks again.

We do not know where to start so decided to try your e-mail address which is on attached voucher - I've tried searching on the web for an e-mail address for the Mont Choisy Villas but found none.

Many thanks

Mauritius Holiday

Hi,

The Hotel is Stunning, +-20KM from Port Louis, I left 7:45 from the hotel to Port Louis Central and it took me 20 -30 minutes to get there depending on traffic. There are Stunning views every ware from décor to landscape. Will definitely not go back to Le Suffern or Le Boardinais .The service here is much better and your sheets actually get changed not like Le Suffern were their torn sheets stays on for 3 days or more. They have 5 restaurants including the all day dining with much better food accept for the pastries were Le Suffern's were better. Over all it's a comfortable stay. There rooms are stunning, you don't pay tray charges or have a Rs1000 per day thing at the restaurant, you have a proper Buffy every morning and evening or the chefs special at one of the other restaurants, You are on the beach were you can actually go for a swim and not in a smelly harbor. They have a business center with free internet access with printing facilities, bill per print, in your room you pay for it. I will definitely go back. Go on to there web site and see for your self, it's a more beautiful and relaxing stay after a hard days meetings.

  The only tour booked that was highly recommended, in Athens that was a huge disappointment and rip-off (60 euros I think), was the evening tour with dinner and traditional dancing. We spent half the evening driving to the port, no sunset drinks there as they said there would be. We had the worst food and most unclean toilets in our entire trip and it was clearly a tourist trap. Half the people on the tour left early or left the show and did their own thing until we were taken back to our hotels.

Other than that we enjoyed the half day tour in Athens and the trip to Delos from Mykonos. All the hotels were great with excellent service from Athenian Callirhoe, Imperial Myconian and Imperial Med. Hotel Yria service was good, but not outstanding. The best hotel by far regarding position, service, ambience, breakfasts, shuttle service was Imperial Myconian, Mykonos. Elia beach is by far the most superior beach and well protected from the wind in Mykonos.Sea Jets/hydrafoils were a nice way of travelling between the points though the trip from Mykonos to Santorini was very long. The seats that were booked were nice in the sense that we had more spacious seating in Economy most trips.Buses were easy to use and a great means of transport and relatively inexpensive. Greek people were very friendly, helpful and proficient in English, which I did not expect, making our holiday even more enjoyable.2 weeks was perfect and I highly recommend Greece, it was one of my best holidays I have ever had, and I have travelled extensively!

Thank you once again for all you assistance and advice.I will be sure to recommend people to go through yourself and your company in future.

Kindest regards
