Searching for whales, being greeted by dolphins, snorkelling above seahorses leave a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I feel truly privileged to have been a part of the ecolodge and Dominican way of life, even if it was just for 2 weeks.
(more)Excellent. A clean, simple, yet comfortable lodge, great food, friendly people, lots of things to do. Even wifi! (more)
Most memorable was just sitting on the balcony in the sunshine with a coffee and a book and looking across the Coral Sea...and waking up to the sounds of the forest...and seeing several cassowary... and eating in the beautiful restaurant. (more)Fabulous. We loved the great hiking trails on Saba and the cooking at the ecolodge where was stayed was absolutely fabulous! (more)The most memorable part was drinking banana beer whilst talking politics with the locals in a bar in the village. (more)Every part of our week long stay at the lodge was memorable. We had the best week of our lives! (more)The campfires on the beach which were lit when anyone was leaving after a week's stay. The fabulous staff played traditional drums and we watched shooting stars, under the stars, whilst dancing and singing. (more)All of it was memorable starting with driving up to the beautiful location, being welcomed by host Jos, who was incredibly kind and helpful, relaxing in the palms overlooking the water, and taking the interesting side trips that Jos set up for me.

We had a wonderful time at this village. It was a good blend of relaxation and excursion. The host couple, Noi and David are very warm people and made efforts to make this trip a memorable one for us. Our 19 month old had great company with the village kids. (more)A fantastic place with such an upbeat, positive and progressive vibe about it. And a stunning area of the UK.
(more)A wonderful experience for families; the hospitality was so genuinely warm and caring; the wildlife wonderful, and an excellent way of getting some idea on how 1/6 of the world's population lives.

Venezuela is a fantastic place to go for a holiday. Most memorable was the local people's capacity to drink beer from 9.00 am onwards, so when in Rome... The Islands of Los Roques were amazing to look at. (more)
I booked great accommodation in Malawi (Nkhata bay) through the website. The fact that the band 'Beat Life' were there some of the time (before performing at the Lake of Stars festival), made it so interesting and lively. (more)
The most memorable parts were all the wildlife but particularly the bamboo rafting and trekking combination. Watching a great hornbill soar over the tree tops was truly magical. (more)
It is a beautiful place (I loved the cleverly recycled furnishings!), with friendly, helpful staff. I spent a couple of days just wandering around the acres of garden and woodland, and the most memorable part of my stay was sharing meals and spending time with the other guests around the big kitchen table!

Jonny, Ansi and Shaden have been EXTREMELY nice and it was an unforgettable stay. Moreover the food was excellent and the room beautiful, very clean and huge. (more)
The most enjoyable part of my holiday was the ayurvedic treatments that I had. The staff at the resort were also so nice, they couldn't do enough for you and always had a smile on their faces.
