TestimonialsWe had a really lovely weekend and just wanted to say thanks. Everything worked really well. Hotel was just brilliant and the gourmet mealwas brilliant. Private tour with guide was a super way to see some of the more unusual sights. Highlight was definitely the opera, outstandingcombination of great performances and a terrific location.

Phil and Michelle

Absolutely first class. The private water taxi made us feel like VIPs, and the hotel was beautiful and situated in a perfect location for all ouractivities. Our room overlooked the lagoon and was definitely worth the upgrade. The itinerary was ideal as it gave us plenty to do but alsotime for us to explore at our own pace. A wonderful trip to mark my partners 30th birthday.
