Subject: Club Med Val D'Isere Review
Date: 28.11.11

Having stayed at a few Club Meds in the past we knew what to expect from this years choice!

Good service, great food, fun entertainment and most of all incredible ski-ing. We weren't to be disappointed.


Club Med Val D'Isere is a fantastic resort, it's just a shame there aren't more hours in the day to take in the village as well as ski morning till night! Club Med location is brilliant, just off to the left of one of the main runs down into the village. This is a large property and was full when we went, but even so it was well organised, there were enough staff on hand to deal with the volume of customers, so there was little time spent hanging around waiting to be served. The food in the restaurant was just great, a fabulous selection with all tastes catered for and so much of it too! We are fairly fussy wine drinkers, though by no means connoisseurs, however we found the wine very drinkable. Most drinks are included (except top label spirits, etc) and they are served in abundance by good humoured friendly GO's. There were lots of lovely extras you don't read about: the after ski welcome on the patio, one day champagne & canapes, another hot mulled wine & snacks.

If you like to take in the village atmosphere there is a bus service which takes about 5 minutes or you can walk it in about 15 minutes along a narrow road, which isn't ideal! Or you can ski it easily.


The standard rooms were basic, clean, of a reasonable size and furnished well enough for a ski holiday.


The only extras to pay apart from specific spirits, champagne etc is the ski hire. All Club Meds charge top prices for this so be aware of that before you go!


All in all I would highly recommend it.

Subject:  Neilson Review & Club Adakoy Review, Plus a Thank You!
Date: Mon 7th Nov. 2011

Dear Mary,

We had a lovely time at Neilson Club Adakoy, thank you for all your help with our holiday booking and for getting us such a great rate.

I would definitely go again on a Neilson Holiday.

You were a great help answering all our last minute questions and collecting the tickets at Gatwick was no problem at all.

Thank you!

Subject: Kirker Holidays, Vienna, Konig von Ungarn Review & Thank You From Sir Colin Terry!

Dear Maria,

Could I place on record with you and Travel Club Elite, my most grateful thanks for arranging our wonderful few days' stay in Vienna at such short notice last week.

The hotel - Konig von Ungarn was excellent and so well positioned being a few minutes from the Stephansplatz; the restaurant, which stayed open well after 1130 pm, was very good indeed and the staff overall could not have been more helpful. We were able through them to arrange a wonderful visit to the Musikverein to see a Beethoven concert,  a visit to the Belvedere to see some beautiful paintings not least of which the Kiss by Klimt, very appropriate. And the next evening saw La Traviata at the Staatsoper featuring Natalie Dessay.

All wonderful and I think very Romantic !

As ever you were most understanding, efficient and patient and fully realised that I had left it rather late to arrange such an important short break for my wife's birthday.

Once again you came to the rescue. Thank you.

Warmest regards,

Sir Colin Terry, Air Marshal, Royal Airforce.

Club Med Gregolimano Review

Subject: Club Med Gregolimano Review

Hi Sue


Wondered if you could look into another holiday and be my angel again! Bali accommodation in the Summer with Club Med, same passengers etc

By the way, we had a wonderful time in Club Med Gregolimano, the extra cost for 10 days was worth it and so relaxing!  Thank you again for all your help.  Hope we can do something similar next year!

Look forward to hearing from you soon.


Regards,

Dear Peter & Team,

This is just a note to say thank you all for such a great adventure holiday that Sarah and I had in Namibia at the end of September.

The organisation was excellent in every aspect from flights to pickups in Namibia.

Wilderness Safaris are a wonderful company and looked after us so well in every way, food, transport and especially the expertise and professionalism of our guide/driver. We had Jeremia and we could not have asked for more.

If possible would you please pass on to Wilderness Safaris our thanks to him as it was he and the other staff at all the camps we stayed at that really made it the holiday to remember. We would do it all over again as I am sure we would see something different to go Wow about.

Thank you all again.
Jacob and Sarah

Wonderful Neilson Holiday Review Of The Retreat, Sivota, Greece

Sent: 22/09/2011
Subject: Wonderful Neilson Holiday Review Of The Retreat, Sivota, Greece

Dear Louise,

Thank you for all your help in arranging a holiday for the girls and me. We had a wonderful time. The weather was unbelievable, probably 30s all the time, we never needed a jumper even in the evening on the water taxi back from Sivota harbour on our evenings out.

Have you been to this club - the situation as expected was stunning and there were quite a lot of people returning for the second, third or fourth time. As expected, it was terrific for water skiing (the girls went once and Sarah was delighted to stand up on her first time) which was very slick and well organised and the rescue boat kindly came and got me when there wasn't enough wind to sail my dinghy back again!

There had been 100+ children the week before, this time there were 4! Steps are a nuisance but we knew about that and our garden view apartment (2x twins, each with bathroom) was on the level with the dining area. Higher up would have been a long way, but very good if you played tennis.

It was fun going out to dinner - harbour restaurants not cheap (50-60 euros for one course with a drink) but beautiful locations, sunset etc. and there was a good pizza place up the main road much cheaper.

The trip to Paxos was well worth doing, nice to see other cute little villages and go into caves on the boat. We could have gone cheaper from Sivota on a bigger boat, but it was very easy going with the Neilson trip, door to door, just 20-30 of us.

Nice people staying as guests, quiet, friendly - all good.

All in all, excellent. Flights which were great for timing, and we stayed overnight at the Gatwick Hilton which had valet parking all in for £179, very very good we could get up 20 minutes before check in, were on time, and enabled Sarah to dash to London and jump on the train to Sheffield on our return Sunday, having worked most of the holiday, but there you are - that's life for people with jobs.

Rosie and I are thinking about a little more sunshine in November, so maybe I will be back again soon asking for your help. She and I do also like Club Med with their great food and international atmosphere.

Many Thanks, Linda.

Mark Warner Sea Garden Review, Recommendation & Thank You!

Subject: Mark Warner Sea Garden Review, Recommendation & Thank You! 

Hi Sue,

I never got round to emailing when we got back from Turkey in August, but we had a great time and would recommend Mark Warner Sea Garden, thank you for your recommendation on that resort and thank you so much for your help!  The free watersports were great, we all had a go at something! The only thing I'd add for your info is that the 3rd bed in the room wasn't a proper one, it was ok as luckily I'm quite small...:-)

Anyway, moving on to the next trip, could you please give me your best quote for Mark Warner, St Anton, Hotel Rosanna for a week in December!

Thanks, Emily

Lovely Mark Warner Sea Garden Turkey Review From Happy Customer!

Subject : Thank You!


Hi Maria,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to say a huge thank you for all your help in helping us arrange our holiday to Mark Warner Sea Garden in Turkey.  The resort was fab, the Mark Warner staff were really lovely, Kids Club was a winner (not only for Laura but just as importantly, for Max and I!)  We had a really great time and will definitely be doing the Mark Warner thing again!

I know you requested a room in block 1 or 2 and we were in block 1 which considering the hills within the resort was an absolute godsend – thank you!  Mind you, with the amount we were eating I probably should have made an effort to get up and down those hills more than I did!

I hope you had a nice holiday and we’ll be in touch again to book our next trip!

Thanks again, Richard

The Extra Mile In Customer Service - April

Postcard Received From Happy Customers On Their Holidays In Port Adelaide, Australia.
The first week's weather seems more English 'cool' - if 20 degrees, rather than 2! But, the sun has come back, with the wind giving an autumnal feel. We have just done a 2 day excursion to Barossa Valley, South Australia's famous wine producing region. We enjoyed good food & wine (of course!) and a bit of relaxation from the demands of work and family life. We have just had fish & chips looking across the dunes to the sea. Blue skies and sun sparkling on the waters of the Great Australian Bight....
Best Wishes to all, M.

Good morning. We booked a holiday through you in 2009 and were very impressed by the prices and the effort that was put into our holiday. My partner and I are looking to get married in 2012 and were wondering if this is something you could help us with?
