Lucy’s dad is one of my long-standing clients, so I was over the moon when she asked me to help plan her honeymoon. Lucy and her husband, Richard, were looking to kick-start married life with two relaxing weeks in the sun. They had a few destinations in mind but settled on the beautiful island of Antigua. Lucy was kind enough to share her experience… It's honeymoon time! The brief we gave Susan was a place we had never been and somewhere that we could relax that was ‘honeymoo

The Caribbean: a decadent destination worthy of every traveller’s bucket list and where I have just had the pleasure to return to. Encompassing more than 700 islands, this winter sun favourite is a melting pot of cultures, and my trusted specialists have helped me curate a portfolio of boutique hotels and resorts to provide every visitor with a truly authentic experience. Situated on some of the world’s most unspoiled islands, these 11 luxury lodgings all offer something uniq

I was delighted to be back in this beautiful country for the first time since 2019. And for my ninth visit, I was keen to visit some previously unexplored places. I had briefly visited Bol, on the island of Brac, on a previous cruise and remembered being very impressed, so it seemed the ideal place to start. We flew to Split and transferred to the ferry terminal for a 50-minute trip to Supetar on the northern side of the island, followed by an hour's drive over to Bol. Altho

It was fabulous to see so many friends, colleagues and associates at our recent Holidaysplease conference, our first one since September...

Hi Susan, I have been meaning to email you for a while to thank you. The holiday was absolutely amazing; from the minute we were collected on Monday morning to the second we arrived home. We loved the business class experience (the holiday started at the airport!) and the island was just out of this world! Even though we read everything about Ozen Life Maadhoo and looked at the reviews before we went, our expectations were exceeded. The Earth villa was absolutely beautiful, r

Pat and her husband Alan were one of my lucky clients who managed to complete their holiday just before Covid hit, enjoying a trip to New York and a Caribbean cruise in February 2020. With their next cruise not departing until 2023, they were looking for a relaxing post-Covid break in the sun closer to home... Alan and I were keen to embark on a long-awaited first trip abroad since the pandemic began and asked Susan to investigate four and five-star hotel options on a half-bo

I was recommended to Stuart when he was looking for a family holiday to celebrate his 40th birthday. A villa seemed to suit their needs perfectly, giving them the opportunity for friends to join them too. After several Covid-related delays, Stuart finally got to head to one of my favourite places, Croatia... Seven people, two families, and not a clue between us on how to organise a flexible holiday that isn’t a package deal. Our criteria sounded quite simple: good weather,

Veena and her family have been valued clients for over ten years and I felt very moved and privileged to be asked to take care of her travel plans for a courageous solo trip to mark the one-year passing of her late husband… I wanted to commemorate the first anniversary of my husband’s passing by returning to Dubai for a week. We had been wanting to go back since our first trip in 2018 which was also booked with Susan and decided that after the Covid restrictions were lifted,

Susan, I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you from us all. Canada was amazing - so vast and beautiful - and we had a fantastic time. It was well worth the wait. All your hotel selections were spot on - from the gorgeous log cabin in Clearwater to a skyscraper in Vancouver! Banff and Whistler were my personal favourite locations. We have been shopping, white water rafting, hiking around mountains, walking across scary suspension bridges (testing my fear of heights),

Hi Susan, Once again, after ten years of successful holidays booked with you, we had a fantastic time. Many thanks for recommending Crete and for all your help and assistance. The photo is taken from our Jeep Safari, organised by the excellent Jet2 rep, Stacey. We also had a boat trip to Spinalonga Island and another Jeep Safari. Alas, it was over all too quickly. We would recommend Crete to anyone and will speak to you soon when we plan our next holiday. Best wishes, Gordon
