Visit to Andaman- AVB00985947

Excellent trip, fully satisfied !!
Indian Couple Visit, March 2016
(4.5/5 stars to Antilog Vacations services)

We celebrated our family vacation at this place in the 1st week of March this year; let me take you through my experiences here point wise. The resort is located at a distance of one and half hour by ferry ride from port Blair and 20 minutes by seaplane, would definitely advice seaplane journey for the first timers as you will be really thrilled by the experience of the journey.

We had made a 6n/7d package booking from www.antilogvacations.com before we came. So we didn’t have to wait for anything. We went to the reception and gave our names. The guy immediately recognized us and said they had been expecting us.

The resort is located on the east side of the island just on beach number 5 it’s a very narrow beach with less population around, even though it's not a private beach it seems so it's always deserted.  

Talking about the resorts architecture it’s built on the concept of hut houses, the rooms are big and spacious, though the furniture in the room is outdated and is in serious need of makeover, beds are some what smaller in size and not so smooth, air conditioner works fine, the bathrooms are ok, but can be better, overall not worth what we pay for. Staff is well behaved and are prompt at service

Food is definitely the best part of the resort, vegetarian dishes served here are very limited and a big point to worry about for veggies, they had varied items in non vegetarian foods maximum sea foods very fresh and tastier. Very important point worth mentioning here they only serve food on time. It's not 24 hours a day so be punctual at breakfast, lunch and dinner times, or else they are closed. All in all we had a marvelous experience, exceptional service from antilog people.

Very Nice & Friendly visit to Bhutan - AVB0098371

The Uma by COMO justifies its name. Located by the Paro valley, we got introduced to the resort thanks to the online portal of Antilog Vacations. The exotic untapped areas of Bhutan and the scenic tourist spots really provided a retreat to the olden golden days. Thus I and my friends enlivened our old memories on our trip here last month.

It not located in the proper heart of the city, you may have to take two or three adjoining winding roads to reach the hotel, but it’s worth the trouble. In any case pick up is arranged if you inform the staff of your arrival and the time you spend inside the resort is total bliss. I had a gala time in the spacious room with the book I was reading. You could also take a walk on the road bordering the backend region of Como and enjoy the Tibetan quays and the stacked antique shops if you want to appreciate history.

The hosts also are really friendly and you straight away have a feeling of being at home. They gave us the total idea about which places to visit for sightseeing and also complimented with calling and arranging the rickshaws for the travel. They also bargained for the correct fare, something which immediately touched us.

The food at Bukhari is also quite original and is very well cooked and if you really want to experience authentic Tibetan cuisine you need to taste the food here. The evenings were also nice and we had a competitive experience with our friendly bout at the archery range. The view mesmerized us with its beauty and we were really sad when it was time to leave. We bid adieu to the hosts’ esp. manager Norman with heavy hearts and can’t wait to return to this amazing place.
A special thanks to Antilog vacations team.

Memorable visit to kerala with Antilog Vacations - AVB0098617

Being the last year of college we decided to go for a long tour of 15 days to Kerala with my college mates. The tour includes places like Cochin - Munnar - Thekkady -Alleppey -Trivandrum and Ernakulam. In Munnar we booked the Grand Plaza resort through the services of Antilog Vacations and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience to all of us.

The resort is very decent and clean and the tariff was pretty decent and fair. Grand plaza Munnar ranked out of 64 hotels. It’s an excellent hotel located at a beautiful scenic place. It’s in the main area and only a walk able distance to market. Thus it helped in fixing cabs for sightseeing. The staffs are well trained professionals who really carry the meaning of hospitality. They behaved very friendly and maintained a cordial relation and we had the feeling as if we were home.

The food provided here is lip smacking especially the jain foods. Each day has a special menu and the buffet is served with decent portion. The indoor centre along with the massage centre in the same floor was very helpful to people who came with their families. It helped them to look after their kids also. At night campfire with music was very romantic and great.

The thought itself was thrilling. I with my friends had a marvellous experience in this resort. Booking and front office of this hotel is rated better than 75 percent of hotels in Munnar. Hope you people will like to enjoy yourself like me. We considered it’s a good place to stay if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. Then don't miss the splendid view of Munnar and the delightful experience of your stay in GRAND PLAZA MUNNAR with expert tour planners ‘Antilog Vacations’.

Nice weekend break with Antilog Vacations services! - AVB0079453

On my girlfriend’s behest, I decided to spend our extended weekend break of 5 days in the KTM or the tri-city of Kathmandu in Nepal. But traveling from Delhi, we needed a plan and itinerary to match our compressed timings. We approached the e-commerce travel site www.antilogvacations.com which specializes in holidays to Nepal. Their site was pretty user-friendly and the customer care representative responded back almost immediately.


We informed them about our constraints and the representative, Maria gave us a patient hearing. She chalked out our entire schedule and got our tickets done in practically no time. Our accommodation and cab services were all taken care of and we were all set for the state of the backwaters. The picturesque Hotel Tibet International was our abode in Kathmandu. It is a 3 star resort located in the heart of the city.


It is quite close to the Tribhuvan International Airport as well. We got the rooms as soon as we reached over there. The rooms were quite large compared to the compound area, which was relatively smaller and were around 550 sq ft in area. The travel desk helped us with our local travel by arranging trips with several Nepalese city airlines viz. Cosmic Air, Agni Air, Buddha Air, Nepal Airlines and Yeti Airlines etc. The room service guys were quite adept in their task and went about their work with equal panache irrespective of the time they were operating in.

The high point of our stay was that we visited during the fair and festival season in Kathmandu which originated in the Malla period as per tidbits provided by our room butler. Traditionally, these festivals were celebrated by Newars but now by all. The Ghode (horse) Jatra and the Indra Jatra gave us options for many beautiful snapshots as well.

Visit to Mauritius - AVB0098125

My husband and I spent most wonderful days in Mauritius with our 2 kids, daughter 7 years old and son 4 years old. It was our 10th anniversary celebration. We planned our package through Antilog Vacations and got very fair deal. We booked the package for 5 days including hotel, drop and pick up from airport. And the best in the package was the hotel- Hilton Mauritius Resort and spa.

The hotel is located on the west coast of the island, in the scenic village of Flic en Flac. The hotel is one hour drive from the airport. As we reach the airport cab was waiting for us, we reached the hotel 2 hours before our check in time so we had to extra charges for early check in. Finally we enter our room which was exotic.

Room features-

  1. Room has Mauritian décor and modern amenities.
  1. All rooms arranged in small pavilion surrounded by tropical landscaping which gives the fantastic effect to the room exterior.
  1. The room extended with balcony from there you can view garden and sea and the feel the cool breeze whole day and night.

Start the day with the hearty breakfast or nutritious light bite; simply relax with a cup of coffee in the hotel lounge. Everything was amazing- the aqua bar located between the pool and beach, the ginger Thai restaurant to enjoy romantic dinner, La Pomme D’ Amour the buffet restaurant, Les Coquillages a beach restaurant for lunch and Melanzane a gourmet restaurant.

The hotel offers many water sports both for adults and kids. My kids enjoyed lot over there. We too enjoyed swimming with dolphin which was the best activities. The nearby local attraction from the hotel are Arena nightclub just 2 km from the hotel, Natural history museum just 10 miles away, Mauritius city centre 25 km from hotel.

This is the best hotel, I will recommend to everyone visiting Mauritius along with the services of best tour operators ‘Antilog Vacations’.

Visit to Cochin, Kerala - AVB0097196

On our last month visit to Cochin, we wanted a place where we could have a relaxing break. We did the package from antilogvacations.com as they r quite famous Kerala bulk dealers for room & tour packages. There were 2-3 hotels suggested to us of this kind and just by luck we went and okayed hotel fort house. We found that all 3 rooms occupied by us turned out to have a very good view. The front of the rooms opened into the garden and then into the courtyard. The rooms were all very well furnished and were clean too. Religiously the staff changed the bed sheets, towels etc in those rooms. The entire staff was very hospitable and accommodating.

The restaurant especially turned out to be very nice. It is located next to the sea and hence eating out there is a charming experience in itself. However my advice is to look out for the spices as they tend to make the food too rich and spicy. Probably in line with our Indian tastes but then those who are not used to it should take care. Breakfast is also included in the fare, which is there in most of the places. And the breakfast is very wholesome too.

This hotel is a laid back place and in my opinion it is meant for those who are seeking a break from the rush and busy life. Though it’s located inside the main city it keeps its quietness and silence intact. The stay is more economical compared to other hotels so one should not expect too many frivolities. Just the basics are taken care of, but taken care of really well. The place thus gives you a sort of homely feel.

As a nice surprise, we found the hotel kept a yoga expert too. There were some options of massage too. Two of our friends tried their message but did not find it that special. The tip is to have some more knowledge about these things and keep in mind what exactly you are looking for, and discuss beforehand.

Since we took a package, taxi and other services were provided by Antilog Vacations. In the end it was a good show from both Antilog & Hotel fort house guys.

I would rate this hotel as a very good property & definitely for a stay for max 2-3 nights.

Visit to Fiji - AVB0098651

Our trip to Fiji last year is still vivid in my memory and I wanted to review our abode there – The Namale Resort. Firstly a word about how we booked our commute and stay – we booked it through the online travel portal antilogvacations.com and decided the Namale based on reviews and pics available on the site. The site was informative and the pics were supplemented with numerous reviews of this resort. Moreover the resort was recently won the very prestigious ‘Traveller’s Choice 2013' award and both my husband and I decided to give the Namale a go.

The arrival was smooth from the airport as the travel agency had arranged for a cab and the entry to the resort was also grand. We were welcomed with a welcome drink and a cold face wipe. After getting ourselves refreshed, we were directed to our rooms. We got a sea view room. While going towards our room we walked across the swimming pool area which was flanked by the bar.

The room was very comfortable and spacious too. It was around 50 sq mt. Sitting in the balcony was a fascinating experience with the view of fishermen gnawing their way into the seas and the cool sea breeze acting as a perfect foil. The room was replete with most kinds of superb accessories and furnishings like large majestic Thai styled beds, LCD TV, large patio with privacy screens etc.

The food at the Namale was a tad disappointing. The choices in the menu were very limited. One good alternative here is to visit the Hibiscus Highway, around 15 mins away from Namale which has a delectable menu and serves an authentic buffet. The service of the staff though is noteworthy at Namale and the manager is an informative fellow. So a recommended stay despite the food aberration.

Ideal visit to Andaman - AVB0079637

On our last vacation we visited Andaman, Port Blair for the first time and we don’t have any idea about the place. Last year one of my friends visited there so he suggested me about the Antilog Vacations and we booked Sun Sea Resort for the stay. We looked the website of the resort and found the accommodation very costly. Finally we booked it from antilogvacations.com and got the fare deal including all.

Location:
The resort is located at a distance of 3 kms from the airport in the centre of the city. The sun sea resort offers a wide avenue for passionate travelers and natural beauty admirers to explore Port Blair. It is close to nearby market so it gives you great night life. You can go for shopping and roaming around the city during night.

Rooms:
The resort offers both A/C and non- A/C rooms. Rooms are spacious and well furnished. 24 hours hot and cold water is available in the bathroom. Bathroom has bathtub and separate shower area. Room service and housekeeping was very good. Rooms and bathrooms were clean daily and towels and bed sheet were changed regularly. But no sea view is available from the room.

Dining:
The resort has air conditioned multi-cuisine Ha-O restaurant. The restaurant has wide variety of food. It serves Indian, Continental and Chinese dishes. The restaurant is completely hygienic but food is just average. So mostly we visited to the city restaurants for having lunch and dinner. They also have bar with separate smoking and non-smoking zones.

Staff:
Staff was pleasant and cooperative. They were keen to help their guest any time. They were always having smiles on their faces and make their guest feel like home.

Other attraction:
In Spite of all above facilities, hotel has very good and attractive décor. They have A/C conference hall and banquet hall. Also they have terrace sitting area which provides a view of the city as well as the sea. Nice and cheap place for stay in Port Blair.

Nice Vacation time with Antilog Vacations - AVB0098919

I visited Munnar with my better half last month. We stayed at the Clouds Valley Leisure Hotel for our trip of 6 days. Antilog Vacations were very helpful for our entire trip and after we booked our tickets through them.

They provide customized trip based on a person’s requirements and consequently helped us book a superb valley facing room overlooking the lush green tea estate. Moreover they also provide 24*7 cab and doctor assistance which are also really beneficial as many resorts do not have provisions for these. Thus Antilog Vacations should be on your checklist while booking a trip.
The first view of the Clouds Valley Leisure Hotel was awesome as the clouds had descended quite a bit and formed a halo sort of an effect behind the hotel. The view from our valley facing room was full of greenery and the open sky visible from the room evoked a tranquil milieu.

Our room was on the front side which we later learnt was of higher tariff. But because of Antilog Vacations tie up with Clouds Valley, we got the room at no extra charge!! The bed was just about okay for 2 persons, slightly smaller than a standard double sized bed. But the mattress was really comfortable and we had a great sleep. Modern amenities like coffee maker, safe etc were also present.

The food at the resort’s restaurant consists of a wide range of spread with the breakfast consisting of South Indian, North Indian dishes and English stuff like corn flakes, sausages and scrambled eggs. They also prepared Gujarati and Marathi dishes as per availability and based on order. Thus menu wise you are assured of a rich range.

Thus all in all the Clouds Valley Leisure Hotel offered us a nice vacation and when coupled with Antilog vacations our entire trip was hassle free and enjoyable.

Divya Tripathi - Visit to Dehradun AVB0097158

It is a nice lake facing hotel with large rooms and good staffs. There are duplex cottages. Houseboats keep passing the resort whole day. Staffs are prompt. The entrance of the resort is beautiful. There is a swimming pool and beside that a lawn is there where you can relax. Ayurvedic massage is good. But due to lots of noise in the reception area sometimes there is distraction as you need a calm and quiet atmosphere for body massage.

Fishing experience and tribal dance arranged in the evening is nice. Complimentary sunset trip is arranged by hotel boats. There is Table Tennis, carom, cricket etc. Cycles are also available for roaming around. The sunset cruise does not take far away but it is relaxing to see the atmosphere and the sunset from the lake. Rooms are clean but with old furnitures. Staffs in the reception area are helpful.

There is a tip box so no need to pay individual tips. Check in is smooth Check in time is 11 AM. If you arrive early they will try their best to allot a room then only..Bathrooms are small and needs renovation. Showers do not work properly. Bathrooms are disappointing. Poolside rooms are avoidable as those can be noisy.

Food is just average with less varieties. Room service is costly. There is no food below Rs 250 and non-veg starts with 350 without taxes. Service in the restaurant is bit slow. They don’t serve dinner beyond 10.30. They do not have licence for alcohol. So they serve it only in rooms. But there are people who ask you about your opinion about food every time which means they want customer satisfaction. For kids there is a swimming pool nothing more. There is gym, board game and speed boat facilities are there. Reception people give useful hints about walking down the nearby village for a local experience.

Outdoor area is well laid out. There are many places to sit and relax. Layout of the rooms is good. Some are on the lakefront whereas others are in the interiors of the resort. There is a bird sanctuary trip organized by the hotel. It is inside a thick rainforest. It is not a luxurious resort and 4 star mark cannot be given.The resort has potential but alteration is needed.

Good services by Antilog Vacations - AVB0097183

Staying in Chennai, we had not yet had a proper holiday in Kerala for a long time. With the advent of online travel agents, my better half insisted on a pre-booking through one of them. I explored a little and came across this newly up site www.antilogvacations.com, an online travel venture by some IIM graduates. The site was quite extensive in its research and contained reviews about many resorts. I found their web interface to be quite user friendly too.

I decided to give it a go and seeing some positive reviews about the Thanneermukkom Ayurvedic Lake Resort, I decided to go ahead with it. Accordingly the resort was booked and we started off our journey. The Thanneermukkom Ayurvedic Lake Resort is located on a beautiful stretch of land just besides a lake. Consequently the lake view rooms from the resort are quite appealing and provide a picturesque view. The view of the rising and the setting sun from the room provides a Utopian escape from the daily mundane chores of life.

The rooms were well maintained, around 8 meters by 6 meters in dimensions. The grounds bordering the rooms were small but well maintained. They were quite relaxing to walk and we even found some families sitting in one corner ala a picnic. The hotel serves food there as per your desire and this is something worth exploring. Talking of food, I felt the restaurant offered very tasty dishes and especially if you love South Indian food, this is bound to please your taste buds.

The spa treatments offered by the hotel had numerous preferences and the therapists were quite skillful. It was a rejuvenating experience, something which must be tried once you are here. Thus all in all, we had a good time at the Thanneermukkom Ayurvedic Lake Resort and would definitely give thumbs up to this resort.

Adventurous Stay in Tree house - AVB0098639

If you are looking for a break from all the hustle and bustle of life! Then look no further, this is it. The Resort is beautiful property with lush greenery all around which gives you the feel that you are to nature and wildness. I went to the Resort last month after grabbing an amazing deal from Antilog Vacations (www.antilogvacations.com) with of my old friend and really had fun over the place. It is at a distance of half an hour drive from Thekkady. I and my friends were very excited about the stay in tree house.

On the arrival we had a warm welcome. We were taken to our tree houses and were served some chilled refreshing drink. They inform us that after lunch we would be taken to the adventurous and interesting tour of the spice and tea plantations in which this resort stands. Tree houses are located in the deep cinnamon plantations and you will really feel that you are living in heaven when the mist and fog come inside in the early morning and late evenings.

Tree house is provided with all the necessary things. There is a modern and neat bathroom in the tree house with all the toiletries. Tree house was cleaned daily and bed sheets, towels etc. were changed regularly. The only problem which you can face in the tree house is insects and lizards. On the following day we were offered continental breakfast in there clean and modern dining hall. Food was really good and was cooked in very traditional way.

They also arrange bone fire and tribal show in the night which is very entertaining. After the tribal show was over we had lot of fun near the bonfire, we played games, singed songs. You can also have adventurous jeep safari and can enjoy elephant ride. The view of the resort is too beautiful in night specially if it's full moon night. So it was full adventurous trip in the deep plantation of the resort. The treehouses are just spectacular to stay in. We had a lovely experience thanks to Antilog Vacations.

P. K Mittal - Visit to Maldives AVB0097192

We recently took a tour of Maldives. We stayed at the Taj Exotica Resort and had a very luxurious and pleasing experience.

The resort is situated in the South Male Atoll. The transfer from the airport takes a short time and there you land of tranquillity. Everything is maintained and built in an appealing way. We were welcomed and given welcome drinks. The reception was very efficient. We moved towards our room. The room was well facilitated with numerous gadgets and gizmos and other equipments and furnishings. The I-pod deck was nice and the TV was also good. The whole of the room was spaced out and there was wholesome free area left in the room. The butler we had been allotted, Matthew, was a nice & humble guy. He was always there to serve and help us. Not just him but the whole of the staff unit was always on the go to help the guests.

The private pool was beautiful and always maintained. The beach was also neat and we loved lounging on the lounging chairs under the sun. The sea was enchanting and gorgeous blue waters were lapping gently on the shore. There were several water activities going on there. The spa service in the resort was very comforting. The masseuses had really nice skills and they were well trained in the art. The gym & fitness room had lots of equipments and the trainer was well versed with knowledge of the field. The swimming pool was big and clean and the poolside bar was very nice. They served not just drinks but many other eatables too.

The restaurants were serving great food. 24 degrees had amazing cuisines in the very extensive menu and they tasted nice too. It was the best time we ever had at a resort. We got so hooked with the comforts, we didn’t feel like going out to enjoy ourselves. The resort itself had all of it. Wish we could stay longer but I'll be back for sure definitely with the same tour operator (Antilog Vacations)! Nice performance as a complete team work.

A refreshing treat to beautiful Himalayan region Manali - AVB0098162

We visited Manali as a family trip and stayed in hotel Manu Allaya for 3 days and 2 nights. We booked the hotel rooms through a Antilog Vacations website and a friend of mine suggested me the hotel. We were in the group of 4 so we booked 2 rooms for 2 couples and we got very fair deal. Our 3 days stay in Manali has made us to love this picturesque valley. The hotel is also located at beautiful location, very near to the snow covered mountains.

Positive points about the hotel:

I have just come back from my 3 days trip from Manali. I went to Manali with my friends to enjoy our holidays. We stayed in Span Resort and spa, which is an excellent place far from city located on the rocky banks of river isolated from the hum of tourist activity. This is the perfectly an escape from the clamor of urban existence where mind is centered, the body healed and the senses awaken to the little wonders of creation.

As we reached the hotel we had very warm welcome and check in process was too fast. We were given deluxe rooms. The room was simple but very elegant comprises of king size bed, sofa, TV and all required amenities. To defeat the shivering climate of Manali the room was provide with wooden floor, fireplaces and heaters. The only negative point about the room and the bathroom is that they were tiny in space.

Staff of the hotel was amazing. They provide 24 hours room service and the room service was very fast. Each and every staff from the housekeeping staff to the manager everyone was very cooperative and always have smile on their faces.

Food in the multi cuisine restaurant want was amazingly very tasty. The ambience of the restaurant was also very nice. Other restaurant in the hotel which we liked the most was Zensation- this is the only Pan- Asian restaurant in Manali. The bar in the hotel had wide variety of drinks. We especially liked the selection of whiskeys in the bar.

Other facility provided in the hotel was swimming pool, tennis court and spa. Swimming pool is surrounded with lush of green garden provided with chairs to sit. We also tried spa in the resort which gives us very relaxing feeling.

I think this is the best hotel in Manali where the warmth of sun rejuvenates the soul.

Definitely a worth visit with Antilog Vacations - AVB0098437

I went to New Delhi last month with my family. Hailing from Manipur, the place was new to all of us, I decided to explore the place properly before going and hence went through a travel booking site – Antilog Vacations. They came across this resort - Le Meridien located on the Windsor place.


The hotel is a boutique property which is located in a very secluded place and is not very noisy and chances are that you may hardly come across this resort at this price if you are the not the traveler via Antilog Vacations. I don’t know whether they want to carve out a niche for themselves but the bottom line is that facility wise the hotel is definitely worth a shot.


Firstly the resort is not very far from the airport though you have to negotiate through small roads leading up to the hotel. However once you reach the resort, you are really spoilt for choices, with the tall edifices located on the roots. There is also a large central pool with a built in Jacuzzi which really glistens nicely in the twilight and in the dark.


The hotel crew is friendly and paid heed to all the directions meticulously. However the hotel being in a cut off place they are also sometimes tied up with not many choices. This is particularly evident when it came to the food menu which we found somewhat restricted.

However the chef knows his job well with the limited resources and was able to create a decent spread with what he had. The chicken dumplings are definitely worth a shot as it is quite different from what we are used to in eastern India. The rooms are quiet well maintained and quiet spacious and can easily accommodate extra people if needed. All in all a nice experience if you want to be some time off from the busy lifestyle.

Refreshing visit to South India - AVB0097943

I recently travelled to Thekkady with my wife. We booked our resort through the immensely helpful travel portal - Antilog Vacations. The pics of the resort Carmelia Haven enthralled my wife as this was a boutique resort located inside a herb and spice plantation. The travel site however gave us a plethora of other options too but I decided to go with my wife’s call and booked the Carmelia.


The resort’s location was really nice amidst very nice evergreen trees and landscaped hills. However one minor blip was the resort’ distance from the Cochin airport. The Antilog Vacations guys arranged for the commute and hence we were spared the charges but the distance made us realize that for anybody booking a cab the rates would be on the higher side.


We got a cottage on the ground floor. While going to our room we could see that the resort would be tough for the elderly as there were multiple stairs and the terrain in general was quite hilly and bereft of any lifts. Though the resort authorities said that they had provisions for the elder persons but we did not see it being used in the course of our stay.
The resort had a tree house too which had to be booked in advance. We could not get that as we were unaware of it while planning our travel. So in case you are of the adventurous kind you could enquire about the tree house.
In general we thought the food was decent. There was a pre-fix menu from which the order was to be made. Depending on the number of guests they made lunch and dinner buffet. So in case you are in for luck and happen to drop by in the resort’s peak season you would be in for a sumptuous buffet treat. Thus, on the whole Carmelia is a recommended stay.
A trip to Heaven and back.

Cheapest if going to Europe on a personal tour - AVB0079651

I am working as Regional Manager Marketing in an Insurance company and on completion of yearly targets I got incentives some around 3.5 Lacs. And I planned to go on an international holiday with my wife in May By chance I saw a hoarding of Antilog Vacations seminar called HOLIDAY Fun on 10th feb 2016 @ TajMumbai. I decided to go there. And Mr. Kansal, Manager Marketing east region was giving presentation on their International holiday offers. And I liked one of their package, that’s 15 days Europe Tour that was covering London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Zurich, Florence, Pisa, Venice and so on with a special price on 2,30,500 Rupees. So my total cost was 5.6 Lacs something. He left his contact details with us.

It was my 1st experience with Antilog Vacations so after coming home I compared the package with other portals and I found this one better than all. It was very long time since I was planning for the tour and finally I got the suitable tour package.
Finally I decided to call Mr. Kansal for booking he was in a meeting and said I ll  get a call back from concerned dept. I got the call after one hour from Antilog Vacations and they asked my preferences and other details. As I knew the name of the package they sent me all the details of the tour on my mail id. And After adequate response I booked the tour by paying 50000 Rs as advance for the tour which was to start from 10th May.

And the managers and local guides had proper knowledge and so nicely coordinated. We did not have to worry about anything. And till here it was only 7 days passed. They also organized web and video call meet of 10 mins on every alternate day that we could contact our family via skype. This is something I really admired I was in touch with my family too. Every day we got new food including Indian Punjabi food to South Indian Idli Sambhar with flavours of India.

B’day bash at Manila! Really Wonderful - AVB0097173

We went on a short tour to Manila to celebrate my wife’s birthday. . Manila is the most popular tourist place in India known for its spectacular views of snow clad Himalayas. We stayed in Hotel Honeymoon Inn, Manila for 3 days. It was very nice place for stay away from the hustle bustle of the city.

Location:
Hotel Honeymoon Inn is located just a kilometer from bus stand and taxi stand. The hotel commands an excellent view of the snows, the wide valleys and deodar woods. The garden at 3 levels offer a fabulous apple orchard with a Barbecue.

Rooms:
The hotel rooms are elegantly decorated in rich colors and fabrics. The room in which we stayed offered wonderful views over the garden and surrounding countryside. Room reflects both the modern and traditional looks. Room was very neat and clean and housekeeping was done daily at fixed time in the morning. Bathrooms were also good and quite spacious with hot/ cold water facility 24 hours. And one of the most important things about the room which like was, the room offers complete privacy.

Dinning:
The restaurant of the hotel offers excellent food with mouth watering dishes in the dinner and lunch menu. Breakfast was complimentary and was offered in the room itself. Though the menu of the breakfast was repetitive but the taste was very good. The restaurant offers Gujarati, South Indian, Chinese, Continental and North Indian Cuisine.

Staff:
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. They help us to know about the city and the major attractions to visit.

Other Facilities:
The hotel also offers other facilities also like Discotheque, gift shop and library. We liked the music played in the disco very much. Gift shop was bit costlier.

Overall we loved our stay in the hotel. We will definitely stay in this hotel only in future also if visit Manila.

Cruise Ride - Singapore to Phuket AVB0097157

Superstar Virgo is a tremendous experience to have. I did the Singapore to Phuket cruise and the ship is commendable with a very luxurious onboard infrastructure. The whole board is decorated beautifully and it looks impressive. There is a whole world situated on the ship with all the facilities, the only difference being that, you are actually sailing in the ocean. The ship has very impressive technical facts too. The sailing speed reaches a maximum of 25 knots 46 kph. The length of this gigantic ship is around 800 feet.

The cabins are wonderfully built with classy taste of interiors and furnishing. The balcony class cabin was chosen by us and it had all the necessary amenities. There were 2 single beds attached with each other and that made for enough of sleeping space. The mattress and all the other things were also clean and fresh. There was a TV with cable connection. One disappointment was that there was no refrigerator in the cabin. There was enough of desk and drawer, hanging space.

There were ample of activities onboard for all ages and people from any country. From computer games to movies, from ballroom dancing to cabaret shows, spa & massage facility, gym to night parties, there's always something to do onboard. But what missed the board was some quiet area for lounging or having a sound time relaxing. There is an Art Gallery, Onboard shopping, Ports O’Call, Starlight Video Arcade (Video games and onboard shopping), a library and much more. But it is difficult to find a quiet niche in the noon time.

The sport activities included a Parthenon Pool, aquaswim – the jet current swimming pool, Universal Gym and star track jogging circuit. There was the amphitheatre where board games like chess, scrabble, checkers etc. could be enjoyed + there was table tennis too available there.

There were many places to eat at and many genres of food were available there. The ticket price included The Mediterranean Buffet, The Mediterranean Terrace, the Bella Vista and the Pavilion. The food everywhere was nice. There was an ice cream parlour too named Cafe Gelato. The ice creams were very nice.

A lot of variety could be found there. There was Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Continental and genuine Indian too. The service was not 5 star but still pretty good. Galaxy of the Stars was the live music spot and there was always some scintillating show going on. It was fun to be there with friends and family. Rest, there are many other such places on board like The Lido, Star Club and the Celebrity (Vodka Lounge).

As a whole, a nice package to enjoy with family. A special thanks to my tour operator ‘Antilog Vacations’. They offer all of it at quite a small price as compared to the services offered. Definitely, a memorable experience and worth the money!

Praneet Pathak - Visit to Mauritius AVB0097261

I have never been on a holiday as good as the one I recently spent at the Casuarina hotel in Mauritius. I was pretty naïve about hotels in Mauritius so i booked our trip from Mauritius experts antilogvacations.com. The flights were good with great service on board and then we were lead to the hotel via a private mini bus. The hotel was splendid and is really close to the beach Trou Aux Biches which is very clean and peaceful.

The staff is predominantly English and French speaking. They were really cheerful and had nice personalities. The hotel has a beautiful garden with nice flowers and variety of herbal plantations. My wife was enchanted the moment we entered our room. It was very spacious and all filled with amenities and facilities. There was a TV with satellite connection, air conditioner, free Wi-Fi, hair dryer, shaving kit and so on. The furnishing included a big bed with really comfortable mattresses, a pair of chairs with a small table and a closet. But we did have a leak in the ceiling due to heavy rainfall. The bathroom smelled nice from the aerosols that I guess had been put up there.

The beach was spellbinding. The sea was the major part of the beauty. It was serene beyond imagination. The panorama was worth catching and the sunset was extremely gorgeous. There was a large amount of aquatic life to be seen there. We explored it on our snorkel trip and it was fun.

Except that there were many other things like diving, motor boating and sporty stuff to participate in. We had our food most of the times at the Fingers. The restaurant served scrumptious local dishes. All of them had a unique taste and the chef had skills par excellence. The texture, the colors, the taste… everything was kept care of and the food was commendable.

The hotel’s swimming pools also were well managed and I used to have a nice swim every morning. Miss the time but nevertheless. I am going to be there again for sure. Thank you Antilog vacations for giving us a memorable experience. Strongly recommended to all!

Al Diwan serves delicious international food and cuisines, the omani gulf prawns are the best I have ever tried. The Terrace Bar is outstanding and they have a huge stock of wines from across the world.
