Luxury holidays honeymoons and weddings abroad

"Thank you for your email. Basically we had a fantastic time. You helped us organise the honeymoon that we dreamned of. I have only praise for the hotels you found and advice you gave. The service really was Top Drawer - sorry I bet everyone writes that.  Thank you for all your help." October 2011 from Richard & Joanna, Newbury who did a tailor made trip through France and Spain combining planes, trains and automobiles visiting Paris, Bordeaux, Carcassonne, and the Spanish coast near Barcelona.

"Thanks for your email. We were actually planning to write you but got totally entangled with work and stuff. The holiday was absolutely fantastic and the organization spot on. We are completely satisfied with the services offered, both in terms of the actual arrangements and the customer service provided at all times.  There's no doubt we will recommend your services." January 2012 from Fabio & Ioanna, London who spent Christmas and New Year visiting the Great Barrier Reef and Sydney, Australia.

"Thanks we had a wonderful time and enjoyed being on a cruise for the first time. The boat was very big, and full of some very big people too, but it was great to have so much to see and do.The food (evening meals) was surprisingly really really good too. I would certainly recommend you to others." September 2011 from Amanda & Derek, Dubai who went on their first ever cruise.

"We had a great weekend thankyou. The hotel was in a great position - very easy to drive to, and only a short cab / bus ride into town. Also we used the boat to come back on sunday, which was fab. The rooms were big, clean and comfy - all you want them to be really! We did have a small issue with room keys at the start, but it was quickly rectified and all was good. Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful - lunch a little slow, but great when it arrived. All in all we had a lovely time - thankyou for your help with organising it." October 2011 from Nicki and girl friends who had a spa weekend in Bath.

"Once again everything went according to plan and we had an excellent holiday. The lounge pass starts the holiday on the right footing, the flights were on time, the holiday rep. at the airport was welcoming and the hotel was great. The service was absolutely first class and there was an amazing selection of food at breakfast and dinner all presented in a very attractive way (similar to a cruise ship). The weather was extremely hot so we didn't attempt any excursions. We spent the time relaxing by the pool keeping in the shade as much as possible. No complaints at all you will be pleased hear. Thank you once again for your attention to detail. " October 2011 from Dorothy and Graham, Coventry who visited a luxury hotel in Tenerife.

"Just to say...THANK YOU! For all your help and planning. We had a fabulous honeymoon and loved each part. I really liked the Argonaut in terms of location and the free glass of wine from 5-6pm every day. They were so friendly and helpful at the hotel and it made a great first stop. The Kauai Beach Resort had a great hot tub outside, good food and the concierge helped organise a number of trips for us. The room was a good size and we were given a free bottle of very nice champagne. Finally, the Plantation Inn in Maui, was wonderful. A great little location and it made our stay in Maui so enjoyable. Again a hot tub and breakfast was included - great chef. Such easy access to La Haina and the shops and away from the noise and scale of the big hotel complexes further up the coast. The four, four, four also worked well...had we had the time we would have loved to do four days in New York..would recommend that to anyone thinking of doing the same trip. So thank you again for your help, we really appreciated it and would use you and Top Drawer again!" January 2012 from Sarah & Ian, Chiswick who visited San Francisco before heading to the Hawaiian island of Kaui and then onto the Hawaiian island of Maui.

"Thanks for your email. All your arrangements were excellent and we had a brilliant honeymoon. No problems whatsoever. Flights and transfers happened without a hitch. The company that you used for the transfers and their drivers were very professional. The hotel and its staff were fantastic - exactly what we were hoping for. All in all, you have provided an excellent service building up to the honeymoon and the trip itself was great. Will definitely recommend you to family and friends." November 2010 from Kerstin & Mark, Bradford on Avon who visited Nice in the South of France.

"The holiday was lovely thank you. There was evidence of a lot of damage on our way up to our hotel from the airport, and the 4x4's were definitely needed! Once we were in Rodney Bay, there wasn't really much evidence of the hurricane. We found the Top Drawer service to be very helpful and we were kept up to date with information, following the devastation of the hurricane. We would definitely recommend Top Drawer to friends. Thank you for all your help." December 2010 from Karen & Simon, Tunbridge Wells who visited St Lucia very shortly after the hurricane in 2010.

"It has to be said that we had a brilliant holiday not least down to Top Drawer!!! The arrangement between Top and Bottom Drawer is really convenient and just what i wanted. The route that you planned and the hotels that we stayed at were just right although it must be said that we preferred the national parks to the cities!! Thank you for a great level of service and I would definitely recommend your company in future." October 2010 from Emily & Philip, London who did a fly drive around California in a 2 door open top sports car visiting San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley and Las Vegas.

"We had the most amazing honeymoon thank you, and everything ran really smoothly - I loved the attention to detail and the document wallet you sent us. I will definitely contact you again in the future when we've saved up enough money to go away again, but it really was the holiday of a life time and I would recommend the Casa Del Mar to anyone. Thanks for organising this for us!" January 2011 from Jane & Guillaume, South Croydon who visited Malaysia.

"We had a fabulous time on honeymoon, thanks for all your help with booking it, we will definitely be recommending you and using you in future!" October 2010, from Claire & Edward, Belper who visited Pimalai in Thailand.

"We both had such a thrilling time. The hotels, travel arrangements and staff were incredible. The local reps were knowledgeable, friendly and keen to help. The driver was brilliant too and deserves a special mention. In terms of the hotels – the CGI Earth Experience chain were first class and I would recommend them to anyone. Fabulous places, all different and super experience. Kumarakorum – was a lovely hotel, our villa was fantastic – but did feel a little less at home with them. It felt they were trying too much and in a way resting on their past status. Although the house boat experience, crew and boat itself was a true highlight. Windermere was a fabulous hotel, relaxing and enjoyable. Overall a lovely holiday all round – even managed to persuade Emirates to upgrade us for Cochin – Dubai!" November 2010 from Liam and Lyndsey, Birmingham who did a tailor made tour around the Kerala region of Southern India.

"Thank you so much for your help with the honeymoon, we had the most amazing time. Everything ran really smoothly from the hire cars turning up on time to the transfers. Gondwana was incredible, we would recommend it to anyone and are already planning on going back in the future. The service there is amazing - we had our own private driver for game drives who also made us bush picnics and bbqs and was always on hand for help. The food was out of this world - there was far too much of it but we tried our hardest. The horse riding safaris were great and the rooms were absolutely lovely. We really don't think you could beat it! Derwent House was also lovely, it was really quiet and had a lovely pool and great breakfasts and was in a really good location. Thank you once again for your help in organising our time there, it was really perfect!" December 2010 from Susannah & Adam, Bedford who did a holiday in South Africa combining Cape Town and safari.

"We had a lovely holiday, although not that relaxing! We were on-the-go all day every day pretty much, but we managed to fit in loads and have a great time. Unfortunately our trip to the grand canyon was cancelled due to weather and road accidents, which was a real shame, but at least it gives us an excuse to go back in the future! We got the money back, so we ended up going shopping with it anyway! All our hotels were great, and all the activities we booked (that we were able to do) were good fun. Really can't thank you enough for helping us book this amazing trip. I'm sure I'll be in touch with you again soon to help book our next holiday! Many thanks." January 2011 from Katherine & Andrew, London who did a Californian fly drive for their honeymoon.

"We had an excellent holiday, and a "once in a lifetime" holiday soon became a "we'll be back in a few years time!" holiday. A big Thank You to you guys at Top Drawer, the service provided was excellent and everything was made very easy and we were kept up-to-date with everything. The lounge passes we got were a great idea and certainly made the start of our holiday very relaxing! The service and the passes has certainly made me think about booking our next family holiday through you!  The main reason we liked the look of Top Drawer was the choice of oporators and therefore freedom we had. It reminded me of the old independant Travel Agents you sadly don't see on the high street anymore. I shall certainly be phoning you for qoutes in the future! As for the resort (Meeru), we couldn't fault it at all. It was truely a paradise island, and the quality of service was fantastic. We were made to feel very welcome and there was a relaxed atmosphere amongst the staff, but we were never left wanting and felt truly looked after. I certainly keep recommending it to everyone I speak too! I shall also do the same for Top Drawer. Once again thank you for all your help on making this trip so easy and hasle free." March 2011 from Brett and Kate, Bracknell who visited the Maldives.

"Our honeymoon was really fantastic. Borneo was everything we had hoped for. All the organised trips and guides were fantastic. All of our guests really loved the gift list too - and I have passed on details of both Top Drawer and Bottom Drawer to many people already, and I'll continue to do so. And, if we can ever afford another holiday like that one - you'll be hearing from us, I promise! :-)" June 2011 from Sarah & Kevin, Bristol who did a tailor made tour around Sabah & Sarawak in Malaysia/Borneo.

"We were both really thrilled with the hotel and location. Everything was perfect and we had a really good time." September 2011 from Michael & Jenny, Southampton who visited Cyprus for their honeymoon.

"An absolutely perfect honeymoon. The resort was truly incredible, we are already trying to work out how we can afford to get back there. All the help both yourself and Amanda provided was excellent, you were always very prompt at replying to any queries. You offered a brilliant service and found us a great price for our honeymoon, and were very good at answering all my questions. The Bottom Drawer gift list addition was also really well done, and easy to manage. Everything was made really easy to organise (both the holiday and the gift list service) which is exactly what we needed as we were planning our wedding at the same time. I will definitely recommend you to friends…. And hopefully will be in touch in the future to book another holiday with you (as soon as we can afford one)." April 2011 from Jeremy & Laura who visited the Maldives. They also used our gift list service at The Bottom Drawer.

"When you save all year to go away on holiday, you want it to be fantastic. Top Drawer made sure that our holiday was exactly that with a faultless service from first enquiry to arriving home. Thanks to all the Top Drawer staff for their assistance. We will definitely use you again and have already recommended you to our fiends.” October 2010, from Simon & Dee and family who used Top Drawer Holidays for their family holiday to a private villa in Lazarote.

"Well you certainly did us proud. The whole journey went without a hitch (apart from Rome airport putting Johns case on the wrong plane even though we pointed out their error whilst we were there!!. It was delivered to us today). The transfer from the airport to the first hotel was very plush, a Mercedes and a private water taxi delivered us to the hotel in no time. The Ruzzini Palace in Venice had a lovely breakfast and very helpful staff. They had left a bottle of champers in our room on our arrival which was a nice touch. The hotel is well positioned within Venice and within a short walk to restaurants and the Grand canal. This made the journey on the Vaporetta to the train station very easy when we left for Florence. We arrived in Florence to torrential rain; however, this was the only rain we encountered throughout the whole of the trip. The Hotel Degli Orafi was very well positioned, very central and bang next door to the Uffizi which was brilliant. We actually had a small apartment which was a real surprise. There was a kitchen/lounge, a large bedroom and large bathroom and lovely little touches like being left a T-shirt and the weather forecast for the next day on our pillow whilst we were out on the first night. The staff were again very helpful and eager to suggest places to visit etc. The breakfast at this hotel was brilliant,there was everything you can imagine available. One morning I had hard boiled egg topped with Caviar, smoked salmon, and bacon followed by a nice custard pastry. Not too good for my cholesterol, but when in Florence and all that. The Artemide in Rome was great too. The room had a free mini bar which we found useful. Again the hotel was well appointed, close to the bus stops and Metro station (two minutes walk) so travel around the city was easy. All in all this was a fantastic holiday which will provide us with wonderful memories of our twenty fifth anniversary. We will definitely recommend Top Drawer to our friends and will start saving immediately for our next adventure. Thank you. Regards Mary x" August 2010, from Mary & John, Birmingham who used Top Drawer Holidays for their special wedding anniversary holiday to Venice, Florence and Rome.

"Hi Hope you are well. Just wanted to let you know that we're back from Morocco now and it was all absolutely wonderful. Kasbah Tamadot was utterly amazing, in every way so would recommend it thoroughly to anyone else. Food and drink and service and views were second to none. Thanks very much for your help with our honeymoon. Back to reality now... All the best." October 2010, from Victoria and Aaron in Tunbrdige Wells who used Top Drawer Holidays for their honeymoon to Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and our sister company The Bottom Drawer for their wedding gift list.

"I’ll be sure to mention your fantastic service (to those people who have not heard me already singing your company’s praises), a job very well done!". October 2010, from Sheryl in Berks who used Top Drawer Holidays for her friends secret honeymoon booking to Marrakech for after their wedding as well as using our sister company The Bottom Drawer to collect contributions from the other wedding guests towards it.

"Thank you also for all your assistance, it has been a breeze booking through top drawer and using the bottom drawer, we will certainly recommend your company to others as the service is first class!!!". September 2010, from Emma & Andy, Bournemouth who used Top Drawer Holidays for their honeymoon to the Maldives and our sister company The Bottom Drawer for their wedding gift list.

"No complaints about the service, everything went according to plan. The Fox Hotel in Banff was amazing, would highly recommend it to anyone. Car hire pick up was nice and easy. It was good to have all the hassle of organising taken away for a change, as I would normally have booked things directly, rather than use an agent, but I'll consider using you in future!". August 2010, from Rebecca and Benjamin, Richmond who used Top Drawer Holidays for their honeymoon driving around the Canadian Rockies and our sister company The Bottom Drawer for their wedding gift list.

"Hi . Our honeymoon was fab! Top Drawer service was superb, can't fault it!" August 2010, from Sarah & Christopher in West Molesey who used Top Drawer Holidays for their honeymoon to Los Angeles, Hawaii and San Francisco and our sister company The Bottom Drawer for their wedding gift list.

"Hi, the honeymoon was great thanks. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the service was great all the way. All the information you sent us was of a lot of help and the agents in Marrakech are extremely competent (which is not the case for some of the other operators as we were told by other guests who were with different ones!!!). As far as we are concerned we are very satisfied with the service provided." October 2009, from Nicolas & Katherine, Bristol who used Top Drawer Holidays for their honeymoon to Marrakech and our sister company The Bottom Drawer for their wedding gift list.

"Thanks. For us, The Bottom Drawer was definitely the best solution to our wedding list woes. Peter and I had lived together for nearly 2 years before we got married and there was nothing we really needed. The site allowed us to 'ask for money' without it feeling like we were to our guests - they all knew they were contributing to our fantastic honeymoon, which we were able to book with your good selves - Top Drawer! I will be happily recommending your sites to friends and family who are getting married in the next couple of years. Your help and advice with both the list and the honeymoon have been amazing." October 2009, Holly & Peter from Rugby who used both Top Drawer Holidays and our sister company The Bottom Drawer.
