Entire trip was very diligently planned including class of hotels, quality of airline, tours etc. You helped us save money at lot of places like including some of the optional tours in the package, including breakfast during our entire stay, pick up and drop from airport, suggesting Indian restaurants close to our hotel at all places etc. Your help in getting visas, delivering documents well in advance, helping us understand any query that we had etc have been of great help.

This trip was kind of honeymoon trip for us and we thank you immensely for organizing it so well. There was no disconnect nor discomfort during the entire tour. Your services are ranked AAA. I am going to use your services in any of my travel anywhere in future and would recommend it to all my friends and relatives. You made our trip memorable and trust me Mr. Shorey it was because of you that I held my head in high esteem in front of my wife because she is still in complete thrill.

This morning, I read an article in PUNE MIRROR (Times of India Pune edition supplement) page no. 6, where Cox and Kings have goofed up Europe Tour of 17 families and the hardships they faced. I instantly thought how lucky we are to know Destination Travels and Mr. Rohit Shorey.

We were greeted at the airport by a representative of Mason Travels and were escorted through immigration at Seychelles airport. The coach transfer to the hotel was also pretty comfortable.

The hotel - Le Meridien Barbarons is a very comfortable and decent hotel. Here is the review of the hotel which we have written for one of the travel websites: beautiful hotel, excellent location, neat and clean, spacious rooms, beautiful view of the ocean from the room, very friendly and helpful staff, wonderful spa for relaxation, large swimming pool , enjoyable open jacuzzi, large private beach for long walks, ample space for swimming in the ocean.

During our stay in the hotel we had access to a representative from Mason Travels who helped us plan our excursions around the island which was pretty helpful.

Thanks for all your help in helping us arrange all of this. For any future travel needs we will surely get in touch with you.

The guides were extremely friendly with us and they were more than happy to oblige. Our special requests like the honeymoon arrangement in the room and the birthday cake were strictly followed and my wife really enjoyed both the surprises.

There was a slight confusion in Pattaya on our sightseeing but was resolved by the local guide. We were kind of rushed through at each sightseeing spot as some of the members of the group might not be interested in the same.

In total we would like to give you a rating of 9/10 for all the services and arrangement during our stay.

We would definitely recommend Destination Travels and especially Ms. Apurvi to my kith & kin who are looking forward to travel overseas.

Both the hotels were great, in terms of room, service, food, location.

We liked Lemuria a lot. Suite was excellent with perfect ambiance for honeymoon couple. Breakfast was good. They had few good veggie choices in there menu. They arranged a special Chinese vegetarian meal for both of us which I think was really good. Golf field was excellent, and so was the 1 hour golf training that we took. There were many small insects (ants) in the room. We never got chance to complain about that to the management so they lived all the time with us. After going to Labriz I figured that these insects are very common to find in hotel rooms.

My wife was a bit scared at Labriz because of its cut-off from world feel. She said the place reminds her of movie, The Hostel. But otherwise, room was great (though not as good as Lemuria). Apart from the small ants, we also spotted few lizards which hotel staff took care of. Service, staff was again top class. Food was ok, but again Lemuria was much better. They prepared special Indian vegetarian food for us which wasn't all that great. Even I can cook better then that if I try :). Pizzeria was the best option here for veggies. The bar was excellent at this place. We really liked its ambiance. Did not get a chance to use the spa as it was fully booked by the time we tried to get a booking.

As for the island, I really liked Praslin. I think my wife would think the same. I think Praslin (and Lemuria resort) was secluded enough for couples like us. And it was really-really beautiful place. We did not go out much in Silhouette so I can not compare. But Praslin as everything I would want from such a vacation: great beaches, natural beauty, small villages with shops to take back souvenirs, option to hop to nearby islands for exploration.

One thing I did not like about Seychelles was the closing time of shops. It seems local people are extremely lazy. All the shops used to get closed by 6:30-7 pm in Praslin. Even gas-station was closed by 8:30. It was worse in Mahe (unexpectedly). Shops (for souvenirs) got closed by 4-4:30 pm. We were stuck because of this at-least couple of times. Also, it is not easy to get everything here. Not even on Mahe. We had to roam around the whole Praslin island to find a few things, which finally we realized we will not be able to find on the island.

I think staying in two places when on such a short trip is not a great idea overall. If I had to re-plan my trip, I would stay at Lemuria Praslin for 5-6 days, and stopover in Mahe before I fly back home.

Still it was a great trip. And I would like to thank you for all your help in planning and booking the trip. I will definitely keep in touch for any bookings in future :)
