Jacqueline Trotman - Seychelles - March 2013

I'm lucky enough to travel all over the world and i've got to say Angela who I booked my holiday with was the most helpful and nicest person I have ever booked a holiday with, and would definitely book with her again. Thank you for a fab holiday.

Looking to go back to Mauritius in 2016 so will be in touch!

A special thank you to Paradise Sun for our surprise champagne dinner on the beach for our silver wedding anniversary. The day to day variety, quality & choice of starters & desserts at Paradise Sun was exceptional.

Michael Petrie - Mauritius - March 2013

Food at 20 Degres Sud 5 star. Best cuisine we've had throughout the Indian Ocean. Superb high level of service. The hotel is smart and very intimate...

Mimi Cheikh-Aissa - Seychelles - December 2012

LeaAnne - just wanted to thank you for all your help again...The place was magical! And everything went very well there...

Cat Orriss - Seychelles - December 2012

Just wanted to drop you a quick line to THANK YOU AGAIN for helping to organise our honeymoon at such short notice. It was absolutely incredible, we loved it.

Ronald Laurie - Seychelles - December 2012

A superb location, pleased to have changed from original choice to Lemuria. The staff made us very welcome and treated my wife to a special surprise for her birthday. Overall a great holiday and lived up to everything you said. Thanks.

William White - Seychelles - November 2012

Your office is excellent-always ready to help...perfect. It is the main reason i keep coming back!.

Simon Youngman - Seychelles - November 2012

Just a short note of thanks. I have just returned from this holiday and found all arrangements with your company and with Creole Travel first class from check-in at Heathrow, to transfers in Mahe and the hotel and its staff were great. I would not hesitate to use your company and the Sun Resort hotel again. Thanks again. A very satisfied customer.

Mary Turrell - Seychelles - October 2012

If we visited the Seychelles again we would stay at the Orangeraie again. It was a pleasure to be there especially with all the smiling faces!...We had an excellent holiday so very many thanks..

Elizabeth DeBurgh - Dubai & Seychelles - October 2012

This has to be the most amazing trip ever! The Seychelles are beautiful & unspoilt by tourism - no high rise hotels! The whole trip ran like clockwork but the most amazing thing was our upgrade at La Digue-for 2 nights we were given the Presidential Villa complete with large infinity swimming pool-I was lost for words when I saw it-my husband would say a first! I swim most days in my local pool so for me this was Paradise. Overall, L'Archipel on Praslin was my favourite. Not enough room to write about all our fabulous experiences.....

Margaret McAteer - Dubai & Seychelles - September 2012

...We had a fantastic view at the Madinat Al Qasr-it looked superb both in daylight and at night. Overall for us both a fantastic holiday and would recommened all 3 hotels to anyone thinking of going to the Seychelles and would definately recommend Elite Vacations. Many thanks for all the help and advice from Angela!.

Anthony Coghlan - Seychelles - September 2012

Your own service was excellent in all respects and extremely helpful in term of planning...

Joy Terry - Seychelles - September 2012

Angela was fantastic with her knowledge of the hotels on the island. It was with her help we made our choice & we were very pleased, she had told is it was near to restaurants & the capital, just what we wanted. Her help was invaluable....

Philip Horne - Seychelles - September 2012

We had a fantastic wedding and honeymoon on Sainte Anne and Cerf Island. The people, especially in the restaurant on Cerf Island were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help us. We would love to be able to go back to the Seychelles sometime....

Thomas Dewdney - Seychelles - September 2012

We had a really great time in the Seychelles. Everything came together really well and we enjoyed all that we did. Sunset Beach was in a really good location but could be seen by some as a bit isolated. We would recommend the hotel. Bird Island is something else. We have spent alot of time on islands like this and really enjoyed the feeling of isolation and the close contact with 'things natural' The accommodation was fine and the staff really friendly and tried really hard to look after you. Cerf Island Resort was something else. It was a really good way to relax before heading back. The accommodation was excellent and the food by far the best we had come across on the holiday. Finally, Creole Travel were first class, they were punctual and helpful and took all those worries away as we travelled by plane and boat as well as road. Altogether a really successful package, thanks for all your help...

Julie Bryer - Seychelles - August 2012

Coco de Mer excellent all round. Creole Travel Services excellent throughout including additional excursions....

Simon Brown - Seychelles - August 2012

Thank you for a wonderful holiday. Everything was perfect apart from the one thing that is beyond anyones control - the weather!....

Samuel Tutton - Seychelles - August 2012

We feel we made an excellent choice in booking our honeymoon with Elite Vacations. Everyone we came across was very helpful and friendly and our holiday was something we will never forget. We hope to go back for an anniversary in the future!....

Karen Semmons - Seychelles - August 2012

Elite staff very friendly and helpful....

Mary Hill - Dubai & Seychelles - June 2012

Tortoises in the garden at both hotels in Seychelles made my holiday magical....

Michael Stubberfield - Seychelles - June 2012

Very impressed with your service....

Eve Bonham Cozens - Seychelles - March 2012

Thank you so much - we had such a great holiday. All the arrangements went like clockwork & Creole were very helpful & efficient. Loved it.

Jayne Garfield - Mauritius - February 2012

Again an excellent holiday.

Margaret Gray - Seychelles - February 2012

...Creole Travel were excellent - very efficient & friendly. All transfers in a complex itinerary went like clockwork and made the trip very stress free.

Susan Turner - Seychelles - January 2012

My holiday & accommodation was amazing. Thank you so much.

Suzanne Johnson - Seychelles - October 2011

Best holiday we've ever had.

David Gaade - Mauritius - September 2011

The Oberoi was out of this world for everything. We would use the Oberoi group again.

Val & Roger Bachelor - Seychelles - September 2011

This is just to say thank you for organising our once-in-a-lifetime holiday in the Seychelles. It was just what we hoped for and more. All our accommodation was good, the highlight being Cap Jean Marie villas on Praslin. The other thing which really impressed us on our holiday was the efficiency of Creole Travel. A rep was there to meet us at every transfer and a driver was there to take us to our accommodation. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. It was good not to have to worry at all about travel arrangements as it was all done for us. This made a great difference to our holiday.

Terry Chaplin - Mauritius - August 2011

We are settled back into the UK after our Mauritius holiday and I would like to say that, with the exception of a few minor blips, the whole family had a wonderful time. Considering the age range from 3 years to 72 it's indicative of the wide range of activities at the Maritim. My wife and I would like to thank you all for arranging this super holiday for us and in particular the staff that I dealt with more than once, Wendy and Stacey. Perhaps you would pass on my thanks to the people at Summertimes. The transfers to and from the hotel went without a hitch with very friendly drivers on both journeys. I would not hesitate to recommend your company or the Maritim Hotel, so thank you once again.

Rowena Libson - Seychelles - August 2011

Wonderful holiday. Hotel staff excellent and great interest taken as to whether everything was to our satisfaction. Food much higher standard than expected. Location and beaches perfect. We loved the way the hotel blended with the natural surroundings. Plenty to do, we took 2 boat trips from hotel - very nice boats and again helpful staff.

Louise Dodds - Maldives & Dubai - July 2011

Huge thank you to Angela. Our honeymoon could not of been better - PERFECT!!

Julie Cox - Seychelles - July 2011

Creole Travel Services were excellent. 'Elite' staff were extremely helpful & informative on the phone.

Angela & Colin Spicer - Seychelles - June 2011

I'm emailing to thank you for organising a wonderful holiday and would highly recommend Elite Vacations to anyone. La Reserve was perfect and we were given the room requested. We also wanted to commend your land agents in the Seychelles, we travel alot and Creole are the best we have ever encounted. Again Thank you

Carine Bechir - Seychelles - June 2011

The reason i am writing to you is to give feedback to you on our honeymoon trip to Sainte Anne. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU AND THE TEAM FOR A SUPERB ORGANISED TRIP. We really enjoyed our time and relaxed a lot:
1- Air Seychelles Pearl Class and hostesses on board are great
2- Welcome at Seychelles airport was very good, personnel is very warm, cheerful and helpful
3- Private Transport from airport to the boat was excellent, the welcome at boat area is excellent.
4- As we arrived early and room was not ready we were offered the breakfast
A nice lady explained to us everything about the hotel and offered us a voucher for honey mooner. My husband got a tshirt as a gift and myself a pareo. Ocean room number 117 was great and near reception and sport center and spa so we didnt need any bicycle we used to walk. Check out was a little slow compared to check in but it's no big deal. The bottle of champagne and fruit basket were awaiting for us in the room as well as a 30min massage which we upgraded it to 60min couple massage. Variety of restaurants is nice, Robinson restaurant is simply amazing i will send you pictures, food is yummi, and as mentioned the personnel are very happy, friendly and helpful. The all inclusive formula is a great one.We had the sun all the week, it was really very nice. Our next holidays will be booked through you...Do you have any trips to Maldives? Once again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Simon Weathers - Mauritius - May 2011

Thank you for helping with this holiday. General view of the Tamarina Hotel was good, but it may be better as part of a two centre break. It was really quiet, too quiet for me but I am sure ideal for honeymooners. The golf club & course great.

Catherine Carey - Seychelles - May 2011

Overall we had a wonderful holiday. Would comment that Creole Travel Services provided excellent transfers and were most helpful. The highlight of the holiday was Desroches - wish we had booked to stay longer! The Constance Lemuria is a good hotel, the beach is good, & food at the restaurant by the golfclub is excellent.

Bob & Avril Clark - Seychelles - May 2011

First of all,we had a wonderful holiday. I would like to say a sincere thank you for all the trouble and time you spent on arranging our holiday, everything was as we had anticipated, the Seychelles must be one of the most beautiful destinations in the world! We have been extremely fortunate to be able to visit so many times and see so many islands, all different, make friends and get the chance to see the wildlife and undersea life at close quarters in such a spectacular setting. Cerf Island: Everything fine and can thoroughly recommend. Denis Island: Superb. They gave us the 'Honeymoon Suite' and did us proud this visit, and it is nice when alot of the staff remember you from previous holidays, as they also do on Cerf. Sainte Anne: Accommodation excellent, much as we had expected. The room was really nice with a lovely plunge pool. Raffles: Rooms were certainly the largest we have ever had on holiday and had virtually everything (including a Butler, a charming Lady called Elinor for most of the time) We ate in the room most of the time and the food and service was exemplary. The staff were very attentive and knew your name, however there were not alot of people staying when we did. We did eat once at both of the restaurants with the food being of top quality. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were all very friendly and everything you wanted was produced in a flash!

Colin West - Seychelles - May 2011

I would like to give you some feedback on our recent stay at Village du Pecheur. The hotel was delightful and exhibits a style that is missing in modern hotels. The junior suite was a great choice and more than met our expectations. And what a location! Certainly a hotel that I would be happy to recommend. I would also like you to pass on our thanks to Creole who were excellent throughout. They sorted us out at Mahe airport, got us on an earlier flight, and organised things so that the hotel had our suite ready soon after we arrived. Their local representative Dora did a grand job, and we were fortunate to have the same guide Jojo for our three excursions. Thank you for your organising of this part of our holiday. Things went very smoothly. I am happy to recommend your company to anyone thinking of a visit to the Seychelles.

Anita Regenye - Seychelles - May 2011

Greetings from Spain now, after our fantastic wedding and honeymoon vacation on Seychelles, at Ephelia Resort already. Just wanted to say thank you again for your and your colleagues´organization as our holiday was really fantastic, the resort itself, the service, the food, all the staff and local people were absolutely amazing, everything went just perfect, so far I couldn´t believe that a dream could come true like this...So thank you again for your help to have this memory for all of our life and I´m sure for the next holidays as well, if we are planning something similar as Mahe, we will choose your company! I´m just sending you some photos of the wedding.

Anne-Marie Sellars - Seychelles - May 2011

Briefly, just to let you know how much we enjoyed our island-hopper - what a superb nation of people and such hospitality wherever we went! Great accommodation, with our particular favourite being Lazare Picault, with a picture-postcard view that will remain with us forever! Many thanks for your help in arranging this - a return-destination, I'm sure, with Elite being my company of choice, again, both for it's efficiency and value-for-money. Thanks again!

Chris and Patsy Watney - Seychelles - May 2011

Just returned from our fourth visit to the Seychelles - organised by your company. Thank you for arranging yet another excellent holiday.
For your information, the Hotel L'Archipel was an excellent choice for our stay in Praslin. The food was very good and the standard of the rooms, and service, was all we could have wished for. The minor drawback of a lot of steps is, I understand, going to be addressed by the hotel this coming year with a complimentary "golf buggy". The Creole limousine service to and from the hotel was also very good. Bird Island, a firm favourite of ours, was its usual laid back and unchanging charm. The local naturalist, Robbie, makes the visit very enjoyable and instructive. The Sun Resort continues to be an excellent choice for Mahe with a good range of restaurants nearby and we had the right rooms this time.
Should we decide to return to the Seychelles, we would be very happy to use your company again.

Angela Sharman - Seychelles - April 2011

Just to say we all had a fabulous time in the Seychelles - flights on time and transfers to and from Hanneman perfect. Hanneman Residence was super, beautifully equipped and spacious. We were looked after very well and there was always someone on hand if we needed to ask a question! A fantastic holiday.

Catherine Cox - Seychelles - April 2011

We hired a car through our hotel for 50 Euros per day and were able to visit Vallee de Mai and Anse Lazio. We thought this good value. The snorkelling was incredible - especially at Anse Lazio, Coco Island and Felicite.

Jacqueline Goodfellow - Seychelles - March 2011

We all had a wonderful holiday - despite the flights being delayed both ways.

Julia Chambers - Mauritius - January 2011

We had a wonderful week at 20 Degres Hotel - what an inspired choice; thank you for your advice. The hotel is so discreet and stylish and dinner on their lovely little boat was just so lovely.

Hugo Weeks - Seychelles - December 2010

Thank you Elite Vacations for your fabulous recommendations for our recent trip to Seychelles. We had been wanting to visit these islands for many years and your advice helped us choose the perfect hotel - the Coco de Mer. The friendliness of the staff was superb and the choice of food in the restaurant each evening was superb. Praslin was also a lovely island to stay on and we managed a day trip to La Digue that the the hotel arranged for us.
It's now a case of 'when' do we go back to Seychelles, rather than 'if'.

Laszlo Orosz and Eniko Janvari - Seychelles - September 2010

I have promised that I will let you know about our trip and honeymoon in the Seychelles! It was wonderful, the wedding ceremony was beautiful and we were extremely pleased with all the arrangements! Spot on! Thanks for everything! We had a really memorable week and a lovely honeymoon. Everything was as promised and everybody was kind and helpful! It was a good decision to choose Elite Vacations and I am grateful to you personally Nicola as well!
