We had the best holiday ever. It was beautiful, hot and the food was amazing. The apartment was big and so clean. We would definitely go back again one day and I have recommended the area to my friends. We ate out every night and couldn't get over how cheap the food was. Fav meal, olives, bread etc, 4 adult meals steak/mussels & squid, two cokes, large beer and bottle of wine....£51!!! It was delicious! So now I guess we start saving for next year! Where to next? :-)) Thank-you, all four of us agreed it was the best holiday.

What a top notch holiday! From start to finish everything went without a hitch, your contact in Croatia (Elspeth) did you proud organising extra bits for us (Canoeing on the sea at night/ a day trip to Venice (tops!)/ making sure of times of transport and pick up etc) and the transfer company didn’t let you down either, unlike cabs here it was dead on time. Hotel staff great, rooms clean and stuff works, so you can’t ask for more. The gym at the second hotel was brilliant, and yes despite a full day walking/hiking it got a good 90mins use each day. I would more than recommend you to all I know, you gave my two lads and myseIf a chance to mix it up (some quality time) that due to my old work ive never been able to do before…..I don’t think any of us will forget the night canoe in the middle of the sea, at least a mile from shore with the biggest thunder and lightning storm over head Ive ever seen, just brilliant.

I would just like to say, how pleased I am with the service that I received from Jenni at Travel Counsellors. I have just returned from a trip to the Hotel Atlantis in Dubai.

The whole holiday ran as smoothly as she promised, and it was reassuring knowing she was only a phone call away.

A definite 10. We absolutely loved our time in the Maldives. We would all say it was easily one of our favourite holidays ever. We swam with whale sharks, manta rays, turtles and all the fish you could ask for. You really understood the type of place we like... simple, boutique-type hotel with friendly hotel staff with a big dollop of style. The people we met there were right up our street but the best part was having some quality family time. Thank you for understanding our needs even when we couldn't always put them into words.
