"Hi Cian At long last I have a moment to reply to your email. The holiday at Le Victoria was absolutely magic – the service of the greeting agent when we arrived in Mauritius and the Mautourco rep at the hotel was impeccable. The room and hotel and food were fabulous – the people are so friendly – nothing is too much trouble. My sister says it was without doubt the best holiday she has ever had in her life. We hired a taxi to Grande Bay and saw a bit of the sights which was great. Now, onto feedback on your services. Your attention to detail and follow-up on all things was faultless and much appreciated – I think that you go beyond the scope of your duties. Thanks very much for a holiday in a lifetime."

"Hi Cian, Dit was absoluut heerlik. Ons het baie (dalk te veel) sneeu gehad en die kinders het dit baie geniet. Altwee my kiddies ski nou al pragtig. Ons het dit werklik terdee geniet en weereens baie dankie vir al jou hulp."

"Hi Linda Jammer ek laat nou eers van my hoor, dit was my intensie om jou te laat weet dat ons n awesome vakansie gehad het. Die hotel is stunning, kos uitstekend, diens baie goed en ons was baie beindruk met ons kamer wat "garden facing" was maar ons het nogtans n uitsig op die see gehad en was op die grondvloer wat great was. Mautourco vervoer diens was puik, op tyd en baie georganiseerd. Ons het n speed boat trip in Blue Bay (vir ons laaste dag en enigste dag dat enige bote uitgegaan het) deur hul gereel by die hotel. Dit was n onvergeetlike dag en baie goed georganiseerd. Die snorkel in Blue Bay is stunning! Die trip het ook n awesome middag ete op Ilse de Cerf ingesluit, ( heerlike kreef, vis en hoender) en die toergids was great, goed ingelig en baie pret. Ek wil jou net weereens bedank vir jul goeie diens met die bespreking en reelings. Ek sal jul aanbeveel vir enige een wat n vakansie wil reel!!"

"Morning Salome, Sorry I have taken so long to do this, but life has been a bit hectic. We would like to thank you for organizing our stunning Zanzibar getaway. You advised us so well, the Sea Cliff Resort was awesome, we were made to feel so welcome, the room outstanding as was the service. The food was great and the chef went out of his way to cook me a special meal the night it was a Seafood buffet, me having a shellfish allergy. The staff were so friendly and happy! Unfortunately we did have a bit of a hiccup in being robbed of our camera,spices,t-shirts etc. Gifts to take home. Fortunately there are cameras all over the resort and the security went out of their way to find the culprit who was employed as barman at the hotel. We were very lucky in getting our camera back, and lo and behold the three t shirts were sent to us three days after returning home. We salute the Managers of the resort. The tours we took were lovely with an excellent guide! The resort is so centrally situated that it is easy access to whatever we wanted to do and near to the airport as well. Thanks for your help and guidance. We really appreciated it! Sincerely Colleen B."

"Good Afternoon Salome, Have returned well rested from Zanzibar and can only thank you for your organization and efficiency. There were no hitches of any kind the whole way through! Everything, including transfers were perfectly timed and everyone we met was ready and expecting us. Pongwe Beach Hotel was excellent and can certainly be recommended. The food was first class and plentiful. The room was large and comfortable. The only thing we did not relish was the water – it appeared to be filtered sea-water and we were always sticky! (The no fresh water situation we knew about prior to booking). In Stone Town, the Al Johari Boutique Hotel was unusual, but interesting. The air-conditioned room was comfortable and the water was somewhat better! We seemed to be the only people who sometimes ate in the hotel restaurant where the food was not particularly good, of minimal quantity and extremely expensive by other international standards. It was far better to eat out on the street which we did with success and no problem. A really good holiday – even if we did have to run for our return JHB >DBN flight! With thanks and appreciation, Yours, John and Alena C."

"Hi Heidi, Net ’n vinnige e-pos om baie dankie te sê vir Exotic Vacations se uitstekende reëlings met ons Zanzibar-vakansie in Februarie. Alles het glad verloop en ons het dit vreeslik geniet. Ons het vir 4 nagte in Amaan Bugalows gebly en ’n lekker kamer aan die agterkant van die hotel en ver van die bedrywighede gehad. Die ander 3 nagte het ons in die Kisiwa House in Stone Town gebly want die Dhow Palace was glo vol. Watter oulike hotelletjie!! Hy's reg langs die Dhow Palace en dus baie sentraal geleë. Oulike personeel en die kamers is pragtig gemeubileerd. Ons het een aand op die dak in hulle restaurant geët en die kos was baie smaaklik. Ons het aanvanklik in een van die kleiner kamers gebly en die laaste nag in die Sulaima Suite. Wat ’n treat!! Ons wou amper nie uitgaan nie. Aangeheg ’n paar foto's. Een van die Sulaima Suite, die uitsig van die dak af, die sitkamer langs ontvangs en die ontvangsgedeelte wat op elke vloer is en met Oosterse matte versier is. Ek kan die hotel werklik aanbeveel. Ek sou nie somer ’n kamer op die grondvloer bespreek nie want dit is reg op die straat met die straatgeraas en mense wat verby jou vester loop... hoewel dit snags stil raak. Ons was op 1ste en toe die 2de vloer, wat baie lekker was. Groete Ona"

"Jambo Salome This is just a BIG thank you for the most amazing holiday we could ever have wished for!!! Langi Langi was an unforgettable experience for us both, pure honeymoon bliss! From our room to the staff, the food and the friendliness of all that worked there, absolutely brilliant! I would clearly suggest this package to anyone that wants and needs a break at anytime of their lives! Once again a big thank you for organising this trip and your friendliness and assistance! Your drivers (Travel Zanzibar) were up to the highest standard and our tour organiser! So to Vicky, Jefferson and Bekha thank you so much too! (Thought we would have seen Bekha on Saturday to say thank you but unfortunately did not.) I hope to be dealing with you in the future for more unforgettable breaks! God bless and kind regards Grant & Chérie"

"Middag Salome Ons wil jou baie bedank dat ons die Diamonds La Gamma Dell'Est in Zanzibar gekies het vir ons vakansie in Desember 2014! Ons vertel al ons vriende en familie van ons onvergeetlike ervaring! Van die bussie wat ons opgetel het by die lughawe reg deur tot ons laaste Swahili aand! Kan beskryf word as een woord - Fantasties! Die personeel se vriendelikheid en behulpsaamheid sal ons nie maklik vergeet nie! Ons kan die Hotel as een van die bestes beskryf waar ons nog tuisgegaan het! Ons sal verseker terug gaan! Baie dankie! Kevin en Tobie"

"Hello Salome We cannot sing the praises of Karafuu highly enough. This resort was our best so far and we will definitely return to it. It was really excellent. The rooms were great - we had ordinary garden rooms, but they looked out directly onto the Bondeni area pool. The service was attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was plentiful, excellent, varied and so beautifully presented each evening. We ate at the Italian restaurant and the Bondeni a la carte as well. The pool area is lovely, the service at the pool bar was good and the snorkelling was great. (I snorkelled every day!) The gym is modern with good equipment and an attendant on duty every day. (Not that I went near the gym, Kevan is the gym user, and having a gym on site was important to him). The spa is beautiful. Its ladies very professional. All in all it was truly a fabulous week away. I plan to place a review onto TripAdvisor telling all about Karafuu. So, thank you very much. The only downer was the damn non-direct flight and having to go via Dar. Direct next time, for sure. Jefferson, our transfer agent was, as always, professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He is an added star to your team. Kind regards Megan O."

"Hello Salome I just want to say thank you for the holiday, all was well, except the drinks for the all inclusive was very limited, but the food was great. Hotel was also great. Though they could work on creating a smoking section and not allow smoking everywhere. All in all, the trip was great, thank you. Regards Nana O."

"Dear Heidi Hope this mail finds you well? Just wanted to give you some feedback of our trip to 'The Palms'. All went as planed with flights and transfers. We had a good check in at The Palms, with the manager showing us around and preparing lunch for us. I love the resort. The villas are beautiful and in very good condition. Was just a little disappointed in the second bedroom and bathroom, which does not come close to the main. The food and drinks selection are fabulous and we really enjoyed that. The exclusivity and small size of the resort is amazing. You are never bugged or disturbed by fellow guests. I really appreciated that. Unfortunately my mother got very ill with gastric flu on the second night. We had brought a lot of medicines for such cases with us, but nothing seemed to work. When she did not recover after 3 days in bed, we called the nurse who services the 3 resorts. She was very helpful and put mom on antibiotics, which improved her condition finally. So on their anniversary day, we could not celebrate, with her being in bed. The manager and staff were very kind and helpful, bringing her soup to the room etc. They also arranged for a very special treat on the Friday, when mom was better. Lunch in our own private gazebo on the beach. That was fantastic and very much appreciated by us. They also baked a special cake for my parents and presented it to them singing after dinner. So besides my mom getting so ill, my sister and I really loved the place. Baraza is a stunning resort. Nataly and I spent 3 mornings there at the pool. Absolutely beautiful. The pool side service there is also very much better than at The Palms (where you have to get up out of your cabana and find staff to request something)... Nataly and I also did the Stone Town trip which was nice, as well as a snorkelling excursion. As we expected, the snorkelling and access from the beach cannot be compared to the Maldives. The different tides are very interesting to see, and we were in the water/pools constantly. We were also very lucky with the weather. All in all, a fabulously exclusive resort. But I would personally not return to Zanzibar, because of the poverty and run down infrastructure that is quite shocking to see on the transfer journeys. (Very scary thought if one where to get critically ill while there). Many thanks to you and your staff for this recommendation. Warm regards Daniela"

"Hi Salome, of sal ek eerder se "Jambo"!?! Wow, wow, wow en sommer nog 'n hele paar keer WOW!! Wat 'n vakansie! Dit is so moeilik om te beskryf hoe baie ons Sandies, die mense, land, sand, son, see, etes, tyd af . . . ag sommer alles, geniet het. Van die woord "go" was dit een fees todat ons eer-gister aand weer veilig by ons eie huis kon aankom! Ons was so beindruk met jou reelings. Ons het in hierdie paar dae eintlik 'n leeftyd geleef, omdat 'n mens nie vir iemand kan verduidelik hoe die klein goedjies 'n mens beindruk nie. Dis moeilik om te beskryf hoe dit voel om op 'n vreemde lughawe in 'n vreemde land jou naam netjies op 'n bordjie uitgetik te sien. Dit begin 'n borrel in 'n mens wat ouens wat dit nog nie beleef het nie, nie kan verstaan nie. Ons het so lekker gekuier! Vandat Jefferson ons op die lughawe ontmoet het todat ons weer terug was daar, is verseker 'n ondervinding wat vir ewig by ons sal bly. Die reuke, smake, gevoel, hoe vol 'n mens se gemoed soms skiet wanneer jy deur die villages ry, ALLES, was verseker die geld werd! Die hotel is uitstekend, die personeel vriendelik en die etes op die strand onvergeetlik! Ons kan nie genoeg praat oor hoeveel moeite hulle gedoen het om ons welkom te laat voel nie. Ek moet jou dit vertel... Elke oggend voordat ons ontbyt gaan eet het, het die tuinier vir my 'n pragtige ruiker gebring, dit het my regtig bederf laat voel!! En vir die 10 dae wat ons met vakansie was, was ons bed nie een dag op dieselfde manier opgemaak nie. Ons kon in die middae nie wag om by die kamer te kom om te sien watter verassing "Joyce" vandag op die bed gelos het nie! Vir my was die hoogtepunt van die vakansie verseker die dag toe ek Salum ontmoet het. Jefferson het hom gevra om ons gids te wees vir StoneTown. Jinne, hierdie man is 'n inspirasie vir enige mens! Ek het sommer in 'n kort tyd bitter vinnig lief geraak vir iemand wat so 'n lus vir die lewe het! Hy het verseker 'n blywende indruk op my gemaak. Hy het my net weer laat besef dat al die dinge wat 'n mens altyd dink jy is, of wil wees, binne in jouself le. Die lewe is 'n keuse en 'n mens kan uitstyg bo enige omstandigheid wanneer jy positief aan jou eie lewe en toekoms werk. Jy weet, soms lees mens 'n oulike "quote" op Pinterest raak of jy sien iemand se status en dink, sjoe, dis nou raak gepraat? Wel Salum is een van daardie mense waaroor die quotes geskryf word. Ek kan jou nou vir ure besig hou, maar weet jy hoor al hierdie dinge seker op 'n daaglikse basis. Al wat ons eintlik wil se is "BAIE, BAIE DANKIE". Dis 'n klein woord vir my nou nog groter hart, so weet verseker ons het Zanzibar en alles wat jy vir ons gereel het geniet en waardeer! Dit was regtig 'n plesier om met jou te werk. Jy en jou maatskappy kom hoogs aanbeveel deur ons! Al ons vriende en familie weet nou al teen die tyd, daar is geen beter destination agent as Exotic Vacations nie. Geniet jou naweek en ek vertrou ons gesels weer in die toekoms. Daar is nog BAIE dinge wat ons wil sien en doen... Groetnis van ons al 2 Nico en Ronel"
