"Hi there Patricia Thanks so much for organizing our trip to Vic falls, we all had a wonderful time. The hotel and staff were fantastic, I would highly recommend A'Zambezi river lodge to everyone. We booked our vic falls tour through the same guy who picked us up from the airport and he organized 2 x wheelchairs and assistants too. We did a helicopter flight of Vic Falls too, which was amazing to see the falls from above. The oldies thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the only thing they complained about was tooooo much food (wink wink which they loved). Kindest Regards Coleen"

"Hi Salome, I have to tell you, the Sea Cliff hotel has ruined the life of 16 people. How will we ever find another place to match it!!!! We had the most wonderful time there. The staff were so friendly and willing to help and our room was fabulous! Im presuming you organised a deluxe for Paul and I? Well, we really appreciated it. I am sooooo sad to be home, I need yet another cocktail at the jetty bar! All my friends commented on your amazing efficiency and willingness to sort anything out. You are a star. Please forward this email onto your head office, I would like them to know how amazing you are! (Maybe they already know!) Thank you! Regards Sue O."

"Dear Team, Thanks for organizing such a wonderful holiday at such short notice.We arrived on time in Dar es salaam but caught an earlier connecting flight to Zanzibar(this was quite an experience considering the minute size of the plane and the fact that it appeared to hover in mid air at times.-seriously though- the pilot knew exactly what he was doing.) Upon our early arrival to Zanzibar , we were pleasantly surprised to see our "Reception Committee" waving placards with names of my husband and myself. These were our driver and guide (Ali and Salem),who were wonderfully articulate and enlightened us on the island, its history and inhabitants. Upon arrival at the resort we received refresher towels and a drink. We were then taken to our room(Once again thanks for securing a room close to the sea as requested by me on account of my health condition) However on the second night, when a water leak was detected in our room we were upgraded to the "honeymoon Suite' on the shore. As regards the food lunch and supper was excellent. Generally service was excellent and staff obliging. Language was no problem. Areas for Improvement was indicated on Resort survey Form. These were;1.Sweat towels in the gym. 2.Too much brad for breakfast. The only available meat for breakfast was pork ,which we as Muslims do not consume. Perhaps as South Africans we are accustomed to an "English Breakfast"( and in our case with Halaal meat/sausages).Other than that we had a fantastic time. Hope to deal with u soon in the future. Regards Zaheda (Cant seem to send pics)"

"Hi Cian Wil net laat weet dat ons hele familie die vakansie baie geniet het – was iets anders en regtig baie lekker. Dankie vir jou moeite en aanbeveling. Sal waardeer indien jy vir my besonderhede oor die verskillende Club Med resorts kan aanstuur of dalk link kan aanstuur. Groete Jaco"

"Hi Exotic Vacations Thank you for organization of our Zanzibar holiday! The hotel was truly 5*, with huge rooms, the most beautiful beach and a great pool! Fortunately (due to your organization) we got a room lower down in the resort - closer to the beach and pool. This is key, as if guests get a room at the top of the resort, the walk is a huge mission! Our rooms were perfect though! Speaking to one of the head butlers, who has worked at other top Zanzibar resorts, he believes that Hideaway will quickly become one of the very best in Zanzibar and its very evident why! I'm going to write a trip advisor review later today, with pictures of our trip - if you would like more about our holiday I will email this review to your team? Once again, thank you for organizing our Zanzibar holiday! Sue K."

"We spent our honeymoon at Sea Cliff Resort in May 2013 - what a fantastic experience! Salome from Exotic Vacations was an absolute gem, and all our arrangements went off without a hitch. The local tour operator was friendly and efficient, and after speaking to other guests at the hotel, we realised that their prices were very decent as well. The resort itself was quiet when we were there (low season) but the staff were efficient and very friendly. Our room was beautiful, especially since we were upgraded to a sea-facing suite! The available facilities are good, and the two swimming pools provided ample space for swimming and lounging. The jetty bar is a must for sundowners, and the evening entertainment was great fun. All in all our honeymoon was exactly what we wanted. Thanks to all involved - I would recommend Exotic Holidays and the Sea Cliff Resort to everyone!"

"Dear Lisa My sister and I have just returned from our holiday to Mauritius. I would really like to take this opportunity to say thank you very much for organising what must be the best holiday we have ever had! We have travelled to Europe (in particular Greece) for many years and we can’t believe that we completely bypassed this gem that is Mauritius. From the enquiries with you, to the arrangement of the flights, the guides that received us at the airport, our RESORT which as just excellent in every way – it was ALL arranged in such a professional and smooth way that I will from now on book all my holidays with Exotic Vacations! Our resort was absolutely lovely! We had a few days with weather that was a bit off, but for the rest our stay was top class! There is absolutely nothing that I could think they could improve on. With that said, and having been heartbroken to leave, my sister and I are curious to know if should we want to book for next year, will be get our trip for this year’s prices? And also, my other sister and her husband might want to join us. Is there any way that you could quote on how much it will be for them since they are a family (2 children aged 4 and 10 months) and what room they will take then? We were very happy with our Superior Rooms, no complaints. But we would just like to know what they price will be for a deluxe, ground floor room (for us again). Thanks again to you and everyone there at Exotic Vacations for your efforts in arranging the much needed break! We felt very special! Kind Regards Clarinda B."

"Linda, ons het soooo lekker gekuier! Die Le Mauricia span het vir ons uitstekende diens gelewer; die maaltye was werklik puik en die hele omgewing en ondervinding was uit die boonste rakke! Het net heeltemal te veel ge-eet!!! Ons was so dankbaar dat ons die 'inklusiewe' opsie uitgeoefen het - dit was net 'n plesier om onafhanklik van 'n mens se beursie rond te beweeg; ons het ook soveel opsies gehad dat ons nooit na iets beter gehunker het nie! Die weer was die hele week lank ook uitstekend, stil met geen wind faktor en nie te warm nie, net baie aangenaam! Weereens, baie dankie vir al jou inligting en moeite. Ons sou kon doen met 'n ekstra paar dae, maar sal hopelik volgende keer meer tyd tot ons beskikking het. Vir die huidige tydvak het dit alles baie goed uitgewerk. Vriendelike groete Muriel B."

"I was so impressed with Club Med Sinai Bay. They are slick, organized and go to a lot of effort to make guests feel comfortable and meet their needs. The accommodation is clean and luxurious, the village and its walkways and gardens are beautifully maintained. The catering was superb and there were plenty of activities like scuba diving at no extra charge. The staff were friendly, welcoming and remembered our names which when you consider there were about 700 people there was remarkable!"

"Zanzibar is a typical island getaway. Unfortunately even the much anticipated Stone Town was a disappointment and there was limited opportunities to interact with the locals in local activities. Best one stays in your hotel- which was very good but not quite up to the 5 star rating it has. I would recommend the snorkeling south of the island, but be prepared to spend USD85 p.p. for a boat ride, a couple of beers and a fish braai. The transit through Dar Es Salaam is a nightmare and it took us one hour to get the entry visa's and we almost missed our connecting flight. In addition the choice of Pecison Air to get to and from the island also needs to be reviewed. They did not have any record of either of my flights and it was only through some very forceful language on my part, was I able to board the twin prop without a ticket! In a nut shell, I would not go back to Zanzibar - Phuket is money better spent."
