"Hi Salome, Ons is uiteindelik terug van ons Wittebrood af. Sjoe, Salome! Dit was absoluut fantasties gewees! Ons voel en lyk soos twee speenvarkies, ek kon skaars in my werks klere inpas vanoggend. Die Ambre Hotel en Oord was heerlik gewees, die staf is so vriendelik, en die kamers mooi groot en ruim. Ons is ook sommer opgradeer na ‘n beter kamer met klein stoepie wat op die see uitgekyk het, so dit as baie nice gewees. Die plek se atmosfeer, die uitstekende kos en cocktails wat by mens se ore uitloop was heerlik. Ons sal Ambre vir enige iemand aanbeveel, en veral omdat dit slegs volwassenes is, is dit baie lekker en rustig, en het ‘n lekker kuier atmosfeer in die aande. Nogmaals dankie vir julle puik diens, ons sal verseker weer in die toekoms van julle gebruik maak! Groete, Daantjie B."

"Hi Salome Gert and I have been wanting to thank you for organizing our holiday to Zanzibar last year November. We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the laid-back feel of Ngalawa Beach Village - we would really recommend it to future travelers, especially people who enjoy time away from the crowds and something a bit more rustic! Thank you! Kind regards Erika"

"Middag Salome Wil net laat weet dat ons die vakansie terdee geniet het. Die hotel en ons kamer was fantasties, die hotel personeel vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dan wil ek ook net spesiale vermelding maak van Salum wat ons bygestaan het met die ekskursies. Ons het die Safari Blue, Swim with Dolphins, Stonetown asook ‘n diepsee visvang ekskursie gedoen en almal was wonderlik. Die drywers was altyd betyds en ons het alles ontvang soos belowe in die brosjures. Ek wil verseker weer Zanzibar besoek! Weereens baie dankie!! Vriendelike groete Joanne"

"Hallo Salome Ons het heerlik gerus, maar ek moet erken dat my lyf nie meer 11 jaar oud is nie. My kleinseuns het hulle gate uitgeniet en wou nie terugkom huistoe nie. Ons het wonderlike weer gehad en elke dag in die water baljaar – en ons doodgeeet aan die lekker kos wat die hotel voorgesit het. Dit was nogal vir my interessant om te sien wat die seuns met elke ete tafel toe bring. Hulle het omtrent gepick en choose. Ek wil maar net weereens dankie se vir al die reelings, besprekings, ens – alles het vlot verloop. Baie groete Annie xxx"

"Hi Esmari Hoop dit gaan goed. Wil net terugvoering gee oor die vakansie. Dit was absoluut fantasties ons het elke oomblik terdee geniet. Die hotel is net wow verby daar was absoluut niks waarmee mens kon fout vind nie. Die diens was absoluut net uitstekend, die mense was so verskriklik vriendelik en hulpvaardig. En dan die kos.......o my word elke liewe ete was net 'n belewenis!!!! Ons sal definitief weer gaan. Baie dankie ook vir al jou hulp het dit baie waardeer. Daar is wel iets wat jy dalk kan onthou as iemand weer daar wil boek. Hulle het 'n full board opsie maar dis blykbaar slegs onderhandelbaar deur die travelagent voordat die booking gedoen word, net ingeval iemand dalk full board wil he. Weereens baie dankie hoop om sommer binnekort weer van jou dienste gebruik te maak."

"Hi Salome Thank you once again for your guidance in arranging our holiday to Pongwe Beach Hotel Zanzibar. It was without a doubt the right choice. Everything about this resort was right. From the most beautiful beach, the delicious meals served by restaurant, the simple but adequate rooms and most important the wonderful attitude of all the staff. Heidi in particular must be commended. Nothing was too much trouble in attending to our every need. And then there was Guy the master chef !! For us the big plus was no TV and no nightly entertainment programme. Just a simple uncomplicated piece of paradise. Now all we have to do is plan when to return. Regards Rod"

"Dear Cian Thanks for the note and follow up. The holiday vacation was wonderful for me and my wife. It was really a dream come true and worth every cent spent. The facilities, hospitality and entertainment were first class. The all-inclusive arrangement was really excellent and made a whole lot of difference and the whole trip very enjoyable. Thanks for advising and almost insisting on that one. I would definitely recommend this holiday to many of my friends and mates. Once again thanks very much for facilitating this for us. Regards"

Die Thompsons rep wat ons kom sien het was ook baie behulpsaam gewees en het gedurig op whatsapp ingecheck of als goed verloop. Baie dankie vir al jou hulp en moeite. Ons gesels weer! Groete Gert"

"Beste Cian Ek wou ookal terugvoer gee maar die reality het weer ingesluk. Dit was weereens net fantasties. Ons was soos n koninklike gesin behandel, veral omdat ons returning customers was. Die meeste van die personeel het ons onthou en het ons en veral die kinders op hulle hande gedra. Die nuwe Italian Chef se kos was net uitstaande (nog beter as laas jaar se cuisine). Die kinders het dadelik ingesettle in "ons" Mauritius huisie van laas jaar en dit was fabulous om te sien hoe hulle uit hulle pad gegaan het om ons weer in selfde eenheid te akkomodeer. Kids Club was ook wonderlik met die kids - hulle het dit gelove. Hierdie was die perfekte gebalanseerde vakansie vir familie-tyd, ons tyd en me-time. Baie dankie Cian vir julle aandeel in n wonderlike vakansie."

"Hi Salome We leave for home on Saturday. Just want you to know our holiday has been wonderful. Karafuu has been marvelous. The staff. The food. The accommodation. We have a garden suite! There was a palm and floral thingy around our door on arrival, as well as wine and fruit for us. We have had cooler weather though, believe it or not. I had a jersey on to dinner most evenings. Our only gripes are silly ones - like more than AlJazeera news would be great! (I know you're saying "but you're on a beach vacation" - we like to watch the news!) We went to Stone Town which I loved. Kevan not so much! And I must tell you what excellent service we got from Jefferson and his company. Collected with a smile and cold hand towels and bottles of ice cold water. And his driver who took us to Stone town on Sunday was super knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. Thank you Salome. And here's to hoping for a return visit soon. Megan."

"Hi Esmari, I have to extend an ENORMOUS thank you to you for giving us our dream honeymoon!! Everything, and I mean everything was absolutely perfect. We still talk about it every day and even brought back a little sand so we can “feel” Mauritius every now and then haha. We were in absolute awe of the resort, it is incredible! We walked the beach and looked at some of the other resorts but none could compare to ours. The staff were amazing, the selection of food and drinks fabulous (we both picked up a good couple of kgs), it was just all round amazing……and this all thanks to you and your recommendation. For my husband’s first trip out of SA, we could not have asked for more and the travel bug has certainly bitten us. We will definitely be returning to Mauritius and Ambre without a doubt. I will definitely recommend your services in a heartbeat as you made our dream come true! Thank you once again. Best wishes, The ecstatic honeymooners, Nicole & Dean"

"Goeie more Esmari, Weereens baie dankie vir al die reëlings, dit het alles baie goed afgeloop. Die hotel was ‘n absolute blessing gewees, en ons was baie beindruk gewees. Die kos was natuurlik hemels gewees, en ons het hopeloos te veel gehad om te eet. Ons sal verseker Solana aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Dit was ‘n ongelooflike belewenis gewees. Weereens baie dankie! Groete, Nelize & Meric"

"Hi Cian, Jammer ek kom nou eers terug na jou toe, vandat ons terug is was dinge maar weer woes besig. Die trip was regtig awesome gewees! Die lodge was baie nice, geen klagtes of probleme nie. Die feit dat hulle n shuttle het wat op skedule deur die dag rond ry na die falls toe en terug is n great bonus, ons het maar net een keer nodig gehad om n taxi te kry. Die kos daar en ontbyt was ook baie lekker. Verder het ons die eerste aand n great bonus geslaan - die mense van die Sunset Cruise het laat weet ons was die enigstes gebook, so toe 'upgrade' hulle ons na die dinner cruise toe saam met n paar ander mense. Nie net het ons die sonsondergang en seekoeie gesien nie, maar daarna n 3-gang maaltyd op die Zambezi rivier gehad. Ek moet se, ek sal enige dag die dinner cruise opsie aanbeveel. Die kos was lekker gewees, en n baie lekker verrassing. Verder was ons ook natuurlik na die Falls toe ook gewees, defnitief deur en deur dit werd. Soos genoem die shuttle maak dit ook maklik. Van die ander dae was ons in dorpie toe, curio shopping en so aan. Die een ander awesome ding wat ons gaan doen het was op Olifante ry - n regte belewenis!! All in all n amazing trip gewees, al jou reelings en dinge was perfek, dankie daarvoor. Lekker dag verder,"

"Hi Esmari Thank you again for all the help you gave me in arranging my family holiday at Club Med. We had a fantastic time and everyone was very impressed by the resort. The service, accommodation, amenities, food and friendliness were all excellent. I think some SA resorts could learn a few lessons from Club Med. We had a great time, ate too much but really were able to chill out from our busy lives in Joburg. It all worked so seamlessly so thank you for the part that you played. Regards Duncan"

"Hi Salome, Thank you so much for taking my call on Sunday. You were right the Zanzibar side at the airport is much more helpful than at OR Tambo. We managed to get the seats we asked for on the return flight  I forgot to give this back to Jefferson. I have to say the tour guides and operator in Zanzibar is excellent. All of them were accommodating, informative, funny and understanding and very helpful. A BIG thank you to all. We had an amazing time even with the rain. Thank you, Thank you. Regards Sonja B."
