Thank god for making us to see the heavenly place and wonderful palace. The hotel vikram vintage inn is the place where we can enjoy without any disturbance.

The view of mountains from our room balcony looks gorgeous. The nicely painted in English color and the sofas are looking huge and comfortable. Opposite to our sleeping bed they fixed LCD TV with cable connectivity. We enjoyed watching the different language channels and match.

Ramneek Waraich - Antilog Vacations Singapore Review AVB0097021

We had a great time at Raffles Hotel Singapore. It is perfectly located accommodation in the central place of the city. With the friendly and welcoming staff, we were well comfortable. With the spacious and amazing rooms area, we had all the amenities in a quick format. It was purely a bliss to tie up a bond with  such professional service providers. Thanks Antilog Vacations for perfectly managed the things. Within easy walking distance, the hotel has several worth seeing attractions like the National Gallery, City Hall, Singapore Cricket Club, War memorial and St Andrews Cathedral.

With such impeccable services, we also enjoyed the different places at small walking distance. Truly, it was interesting and a great idea to burn off a few calories with the help of a local informative guide. We also had extraordinary experience at cool colonial dining area of Raffles restaurant. We spend a couple of hours there while enjoying an Indian buffet there. Truly, it was a delightful opportunity with a bar facility. If you are in celebration mood than it is also a good place to enjoy a cocktail party with an amazing combination of jazz-rock band. Definitely, Antilog Vacations put their great efforts to make it a complete enjoyable visit.

The major highlights of our visit are Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer, Buddha Tooth Relic temple, Singapore Botanic Gardens, Supertree Grove, Singapore Zoo, Merlion Park, Helix Bridge, Night tour and nearby famous market areas as a complete refreshing delight. As a lovely couple, we had a great time with each other and also get the chance to capture superb clicks.

Sushil Charak - Antilog Vacations Corbett Review AVB0098937

My recent travel to Jim Corbett is full of thrill and excitement. This Safari tour was highly refreshing and more energetic than my imagination. It was the best ever thrilling adventure within a jungle wilderness. I felt covered myself within a layer of fresh air during an open jeep ride. At Jim Corbett National Park, visitors have two options of Jeep Safari and Canter Safari.  As, I have already experienced the noisy and bumpy ride of Canter Safari..So this time, I preferred a full energy packed Jeep Safari. The entire visit was planned by Antilog Vacations travel group and luckily I got a company of very professional, knowledgeable and polite guide.

Truly, Antilog Vacations offered me an opportunity to fully enjoy this amazing experience of the life. I was also able to fulfilled my desires to closely view the beauty of nature especially in a form of different bird species and big animals. It was definitely a great experience and informative too. Majorly, I want to share an important tip of pre-booking in order to fully enjoy this Safari apart from any last minute hassles. Also try to plan your visit from November to June months and select your particular zone from the Dhikala Zone, Bijrani Zone, Sonanadi Zone and Durga Devi Zone.

With such natural glimpses, I also enjoyed my stay within the reasonable and budgeted package. With the rich variety of animals, I also covered the beauty of natural stay with almost all the basic amenities. With the variety of delicious food, I also enjoyed the other services offered by courteous staff of Namah Resort. With the gym and spa facility, the resort also offers several recreational activities. At the perfect location, Namah resort also has beautiful open spaces. Really loved their hospitality and will visit again soon! Overall, it is a highly recommendable destination for nature lovers and thrill seekers away from the noisy and polluted zone of big cities.

Bharti Kashyap - Antilog Vacations Kerala Review AVB0097473

I went to Kerala for my honeymoon 2 months ago. Thekkady was the second destination on our schedule after Alleppey. We had booked our travel through Antilog Vacations. The online portal was really helpful for honeymooning couples as they gave many upgrades including the honeymoon suites at almost all available resorts. They also arranged for the air travel tickets and the pickup and drop cab services from the airport. Thus Antilog Vacations ensured a complete stress free package – just what we needed as our honeymoon trip!! Hence any honeymoon planners should check out this online portal for getting the best deal in terms of better user experience.

The Periyar Meadows Leisure Hotel was booked as our hotel for our stay in Thekkady. As we reached the Periyar Meadows we were greeted with a huge building at the entry. It gave us the inkling that the rooms would be similarly bigger and we were not disappointed with what we got. The rooms were easily over 500 sq ft in area and it was replete with an attached bath and balcony. The balcony was protruding in the east direction and consequently we got a magnificent view of the sun rising in the consequent days.

One minor flaw what we noticed here was that the bathroom though large did not appear to be well constructed. The drainage of the bathing area needed some re-work as the water flooded every time someone bathed and we had to call the cleaning guys to mop the floor up. Wifi and internet, though not essential given the milieu but was missing from the rooms. Thus according to me it was a 50-50 score when it came to the rooms. Food and room service was great though and hence overall it’s your say as whether to visit here at the Periyar Meadows Leisure Resort or not.

In the entire concept, our guide (Raghu) helped a lot. Genuinely, he was very decent and informative guy. Feeling satisfied under his caring guidance. During this Bali visit, it was the second time when I got the chance to experience snorkeling after Andaman.

This was so exciting and interesting, but funny too with the scary face of my wife. So, without her I had enjoyed my favorite activity with my instructor. With an abundant sea life, it is a perfect place for beginners as well as experienced ones. We have several memorable moments with our awesome clicks at Tirta Gangga. As a complete classic view of Bali, we enjoyed the cool and refreshing air within the surroundings of water fountain and artistic statues. Truly, it is a fascinating place, don't miss out to taste the local coffee and soothing atmosphere of rice terraces.

Rajan Nanda - Antilog Vacations Rajasthan Review AVB0098157

Jas Vilas hotel is one of the best places to stay in Jaipur. The hotel is very close to the airport so we decided to stay there for a night after touring Jaipur. Whole the procedure was managed by Antilog Vacations. The rooms are very neat and kept for international standard. The room is fully furnished and pleasantly decorated. The room was fully air-conditioned and the bathroom was spacious. The curtains, bed covers, towels and all the basic amenities were neatly organised and very clean. The room was filled with Refrigerator, Mini bar, TV with Satellite, DVD player, Tea/Coffee maker and 24 hrs room service is available.

The Swimming pool was very clean and it was an awesome to take bath. The best part of about the hotel is the room charge as it is very economical and the hospitality of the staffs is very good. I am very pleased with the politeness of the staffs. The Multi cuisine restaurant in Jas Villas has all varieties of food like Indian, Chinese and Mughal and Rajasthani foods. There is also roof top restaurant available, but I didn't visit it.

The hotel also have the facilities like Money Changer, Doctor on call, Travel service, game drives, etc...

Mahesh Sidwani - Antilog Vacations Ladakh Review AVB0098273

Awesome experience at Ladakh with the fabulous services of Antilog vacations. We’ve great memories there during our stay at The Druk Ladakh. We were a group of three male friends. With the pleasant ambience, the place has almost all the architectural features. With the comfortable rooms, The Druk Ladakh has a large lovely sitting area. The major convenient part is its short distant location from the airport. As our tour operated by Mr. Shubham Dhande (Antilog Vacations representative). We got all the tips and guidelines about the place from the destination expert- Mr. Shubham.

After, a long road journey, we need some relax. As we stepped in to enter the hotel, we were amazed to see the unique architect of the hotel. Within the mesmerizing surroundings, we acquired almost all the amenities for our relax and comfort with the neat & clean and spacious rooms. We were small disappointed by the slow net connectivity, otherwise within a traditional ambience we fully enjoyed our tour.

Our sightseeing was planned for the next day and at that time our excitement was at the peak to fully explore the place. In the next day refreshing morning, firstly we enjoyed the mouth watering delicious breakfast and headed towards the Shanti Stupa and Sankar monastery to attend morning prayer and peaceful chanting. We have no single issue about the place, food, location or local sightseeing. Even, I want to appreciate the efforts of Antilog vacations group to finely manage the perfect room, location, restaurant and all the things.

Within the smooth services, we always felt homely environment. Everything was soothing and relaxing just like a musical flow. The major attractions which we covered within our Leh-Ladakh journey are Pangong Tso, Thiksey Monastery, Sankar Gompa, Gurdwara Pathar Sahib,  Zanskar Valley, Hall Of Fame and related areas..

Prashant Pant - Antilog Vacations Manali Review AVB0098086

While planning a trip to Manali last summer with my wife, we decided to book the trip through a travel portal to reduce impending hassles. Based on recommendations from my wife’s close friend I checked out the online portal of Antilog Vacations.

The site was filled with reviews and photographs of numerous resorts and hotels of Manali and we sorted and chose our preferences mainly based on tariff. The Johnson Lodge offered the best deal and we consequently booked it. If the pics were anything to go by we knew we had got a good value for money deal, just as we had envisaged when we had logged in to Antilog Vacations portal.

The lodge is located on the Circuit House Road and has close proximity to the Mall Road and the Hadimba temple, the two major attractions nearby. Moreover it was seemingly quite popular amongst cabbies and local people and we got many people to give us directions to reach the exact location of the lodge swiftly.

Based on our package of 5 days and 4 nights, we were given a deluxe room. The room was not huge but given the low temperatures a small cosy room appealed to us more than a large spacious room. The room had blankets and water heater, bare necessities in Manali. The décor was also nice and all in all the room was good.

Moreover our package included complimentary lunch and dinner meals for the 4 days. The complimentary package included a fixed meal which was slightly different from the usual a la carte menu. Other options included various mall road eateries which had an eclectic mix of Chinese, Tibetan cuisines and Hilly fishes (Trouts) on offer along with its famous stone baked wood fire pizza and pastas was also quite popular amongst foreigners.

Priya Thakral - Antilog Vacations Kerala Review AVB0098569

I went to Alleppey last month with my family. As the place was new to all of us, I decided to explore the place properly before going and hence somehow came across this resort - The Park located on the Vembanad Lake. The hotel is a boutique property which is located in a very secluded place and is not well promoted and chances are that you may never come across the name of this resort if you are the usual common sort of traveller. 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 banks of the charming Vembanad Lake from where one can get wonderful views of the serene water and colourful birds throughout the day. 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 are friendly and pay 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 Keralese chicken is definitely worth a shot as it is quite different from what we are used to in northern India. The rooms are quiet well maintained and quiet spacious and can easily accommodate extra people if needed. All in all a nice experience with the services of hotel and Antilog Vacations, if you want to be some time off from the busy lifestyle.

Spend wonderful and unforgettable moments at ‘Pink City- Jaipur’.

Mudit Varshney - Antilog Vacations Fiji Review AVB0098456

I was very excited to go to Fiji last week as it was my first visit to the island and though Fiji is not as much popular as some of the other isles but this aspect of less visited places particularly engrossed me as I like the virgin and pristine locales a lot.
The Sonaisali Island was the first place on my radar there and Antilog Vacations booked my stay there. It was an excellent hotel of the famous Mamanuca Group located by the Pacific Ocean. I had a look at their website before travelling and I liked what I saw.
The first thing which struck me was helpful nature of the resort as they had sent a chauffeur driven car to the airport and I had no hassles at the time of the check in even though my flight was late by a couple of hours.
As I moved into my deluxe bungalow I saw that that the Sonaisali Resort was actually a small boutique property with a niche existence. It had nine spacious bungalows and given that I was travelling in the off season, only 2-3 were filled and thus I was able to get the perfect room.
The room was close to 600 sq ft in area and had a huge window in-built into the main wall just opposite to the entrance. The huge lagoon was visible from the windows which I understood later was the resort’s pride as it was superbly maintained and consisted of various coral reefs. A visit to the beach is a must too.
Free wi-fi in the room was quite helpful too as I was travelling alone and the speed was good probably given the low number of guests at that time. Thus I would definitely recommend this hotel to all. ☺

Vimal Bhardwaj - Antilog Vacations Corbett Review AVB0098192

Truly appreciable, this was our second visit at the cool place. Similarly, this time we also spend memorable days with our stay at Solluna resort under the caring and supportive services of Antilog Vacations. We loved the lush green surroundings with a cozy and comfortable cottage. We beautifully spend sunny winter days with a range of activities, bonfire, nature walk and several other fabulous places. I personally recommend Antilog Vacations services to all. Really, they offered us a friendly treat. We were fully satisfied with our stay, majestic experience and heavenly awesome food.

From an excellent location to impeccable service, we didn’t face any single issue. Practically, Jim Corbett is a good chance to discover the popular National Park of India which is basically famous for tigers. As, we had planned visit..so need not to wait for safari booking. It is a well maintained area by Forest department whether you pick Bijrani zone or Jhirna zone for Safari. Initially, we had no expectations to spot big animals but after around 20 mins, we were able to feel that thrill within wild jungle. It was truly a wonderful experience where we spot tigers, elephants, deers, different bird species and a variety of small or big animals.

The complete calm and solitude was helpful to enhance a thrilling delight. We also experienced riverbeds in such long winding roads of the thick jungle. A highly recommendable place for nature lovers, where one can capture the beauty of relaxing and attractive nature. Truly, words are not sufficient to properly explain the stunning marvels of the place. A good site for family or friends visit. Overall, it was a great outing within a company of professional guide. Amazing time amidst lush greenery. Superb work by Antilog Vacations team!

Arul Prakasam - Antilog Vacations Colombo, Sri Lanka Review AVB0098967

Cricket series was being held in Sri Lanka and being an ardent cricket lover, I was planning to visit the island for the matches for a good month long break. I had arranged the tickets for matches in Colombo and Kandy and hence decided to visit these cities.

I took the luxury ferry liner - The Scotia Prince from Tuticorin especially as its service had been revived after more than 25 years. The voyage was superb and as I had pre booked my hotel stay and cab commute through Antilog Vacations. I didn’t face any hassles. The Cinnamon Lakeside Resort was my stay there.

Colombo was the first city I was visiting and it had a large harbour and it was probably due to this aspect and its strategic position that it was such an important place on the East-West sea trade route in the olden days. The entire city sported a colorful and festive look and as I was travelling to the hotel, my cabbie gave me a tour of the city. Along with some of its exquisite corporate buildings, the Galle Face Green, National Museum and the Viharamahadevi Park were noteworthy mentions.

The Cinnamon was located by the Beira Lake and I got a room on the southern side. I would suggest people to go for rooms on this side as the rooms face the lake and are provide a tranquil view. Moreover staying in the executive floor, I had access to the private lounge which had an awesome balcony. I found my stay to be great value for money as the resort provided complimentary breakfast and afternoon cocktails.

The A1 highway connected Colombo with Kandy and I took it for my departure. Flights through the Ratmalana Airport are also another option as it handles all local airlines. Overall, it’s a part of well management by Antilog Vacations.

Kiran Bankar - Antilog Vacations Kerala Review AVB0098927

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 the grand plaza resort was booked by our tour operator Antilog Vacations and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience to all of us. I think, it was our great decision which we finalise after going through Antilog services reviews.

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 Antilog Vacations services 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.

Minesha Jethva - Antilog Vacations Auckland, New Zealand Review AVB0096088

Located in the Federal Street, the Skycity Hotel Rydges was the abode for me and my husband in Auckland for three nights before we departed on a cruise near the Waiwera region in the north. We were lucky to have got a guide, who stayed with us during our stay. The Rydges assigned the guide based on our interaction with Antilog Vacations who had a tie up with the resort and helped us accordingly. He took us to Runciman in the south and Kumeu in the northwest on the consequent days. My husband liked the segment from Waiwera to Whangaparaoa Peninsula the best as he is a photographer and the area had some superb sights. The arch is separate from its nearest neighbouring suburb of Long Bay and hence can be seen clearly.

The rooms which we got in the Rydges were nicely maintained and well attended to. The beds were made of foam and were comfy. Our luggage was present before we reached our room and thus the service was top notch throughout our stay. We got an upgrade based on some talks given by the Antilog Vacations and thus the room we got was larger and had a panoramic and even beautiful view.

The butler called the airport to inquire about our flight timings and ensured us a hassle free drop replete with all custom and other clearances for the things we purchased. We had to get on a cruise ship in only a couple of days and without this kind of service it would not have been possible. Thus it is the best place with the best service as we felt that all the staff at the Rydges hotel take a lot of pride in looking after all the guests, while at the same time according apt attention to all.

Vikrant Narwal - Antilog Vacations North-East India Review AVB0097218

It was pretty awesome to get a chance in Meghalaya like breathtaking place. It was a truly stunning place for nature lovers. Me and my friend planned this trip with the help of Antilog Vacations to fully explore the peaceful nature and  stunning adventures of the place. Literally, we were completely free and relaxed to soak ourself in the surrounding beauty. We get the chance to closely witness the natural water pool, green jungles, walking trails, rope bridges, birds chirping, sunrise and local flora and fauna of the place.

I am a big fan of solo travelling and trekking like adventures. This time, I was in the company of my friend Alok. As per the customised planned holiday from Antilog Vacations, we firstly visit Guwahati and cover journey up to Shillong. We had proper time for local sightseeing and after night stay, we transferred to Cherrapunji as per the planned next destination. Basically, it was the major and most exciting part of our journey where we had to start our trek from base village Tyrna. During this exhilarating and awesome experience, we also got a chance to cross two river passes.

Make sure about the basic points of your age and fitness before such kind of treks. Because the area has several other stunning wonders with the simplicity and serenity of the place. Besides all the other attractions, don’t miss out the scenic view of Nohkalikai Falls. With the photogenic backdrop, It is also renowned as a tallest waterfall of India. Rainy season is good to get the actual glimpses of the waterfall. Overall, a big thanks to Antilog Vacations team for offering us great expected time. We were well satisfied with our stay, food, transfer and sightseeing attractions. Highly recommended place, especially for the people who loves idyllic location of village life just like in our childhood memories.

Basically, we were not in the mood to leave this heavenly place. But, as per the time limits and fixed schedule we have to return back with a lot of inner peace and calm. It’s for sure, I will definitely visit again in such perfect and relaxed natural setup.

Evan Crystel - Antilog Vacations Rarotonga, Cook Island Review AVB0096840

Located in the scenic area in Muri, Rarotonga, Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas has a marked existence. The trip to this hotel was booked by Antilog Vacations and they arranged for other amenities like pickup and drop from the airport.

Try to get a room with a lake view as these are aplenty in the resort and provide beautiful sights. Another advantage is the way the building is located, most rooms usually would be having a holistic view. We got a room in the close proximity of waterfront. It was a corner room and was secluded from the hotel's entry hustle bustle. It offered stunning views over the adjoining lake and mountain ranges. Try to avoid the rooms by the tennis and badminton court as the posterior view is generally blocked by the building located in the north. However if you are ready to shell out some extra bucks  the lake view executive rooms are the best bet here as the panorama captured from here was spectacular from these rooms.

We really admired the wonderful staff who were quite competent and helpful. They welcomed us grandly and were an asset to the resort, consequently we tipped them accordingly. Facilities are great both inside the rooms and in the corridor. The breakfast buffet on offer is unbeatable, we can return for this alone. The other meals in the restaurant were distinctly delectable with the sirloin steak being my favourite. The French waitress Roche who catered really well was also a popular favorite.

The hotel as such is only a short drive out of the town centre and all in all, we thought the hotel provided excellent value for money. We would certainly be happy to stay here again on our next visit.

Yash Pancholi - Antilog Vacations Andaman review AVB0098169

Had been to the Barefoot resort with family and friends for 5 days with the excellent efforts of Antilog Vacations. Basically, we love this ideally located resort within the green setup and adjacent to popular Radhanagar beach. As per our wish, Antilog Vacations arranged very comfortable and cozy Nicobari cottages for us. As we had a small space issue but we fully enjoyed our holidays there, especially during sunrise and sunset timings. The housekeeping staff was professional and efficient in their job. Within the green setup the place has natural cooling.

Basically, I loved the advice offered by our tour operator Ms. Chitra Dixit on my small explanation about free and relaxed holidays. As I want to reduce my stress and spend time with my family. So, from the longlist of holiday menu, she offered me Andaman within budget limits. We really felt and similarly want to appreciate her special efforts to make it a memorable trip. Now, within such 5 days, I truly get the re-energized feel away from job targets or routine life schedules.

The resort has limited menu food but excellent within terms of quality. The resort staff put their best for offering the memorable experience to every guest. As our accommodation is adjoining to Radhanagar beach so that we were good time there especially during our relaxed moments. Lots of thanks to Antilog Vacations entire team for such divine experience. We also captured our happy moments within the backdrop of the pristine nature. Amazing place, within the combination of every natural color whether you like white of beach sand, aqua blue of sea or green of dense forest trees.

We just loved the hotel services and their good coordination with Antilog Vacations. Thanks Barefoot staff, for offering us a caring pillow. We also enjoyed snorkeling and scuba diving within the company of experts. Overall, it was a good time. We definitely come back in the near future with the expectations of same high quality services.

Shruti Asija - Antilog Vacations Goa Review AVB0098459

We had a week long stay at Park Hyatt during the end of last month. It was our second year, when we have been to this place with the same services of Antilog Vacations. Truly, it’s a dream stay within well maintained resort, nice pools and curated gardens.  We were glad and satisfy to hire the professional tour operators. With the charm and serenity of the place, we also enjoyed our private access to Cansaulim beach and its restaurant. It  is a great place to unwind yourself within the relaxing beauty of nature.

The clean and tidy rooms have lovely setup with an abundant supply of clean towels, free bottled water service, comfortable bed, hot shower and mini bar (chargeable). No one can bored within this grand setup, especially as in our case.. As my husband hurt his back and we were properly facilitated with all the necessary requirements. The food and staff were excellent. They timely ensured about all the things. A big thanks to hotel and restaurant manager along with the other staff for their major support. Finally, hats off to Antilog Vacations for their responsible work.

In this big and large spread region, we specifically like the pool area which was basically for adults. There was also a buggy facility to comfortably cover the hotel complex. Few times, we were suffered with slow service but most of the times its normal. Truly, we felt relaxed and refreshing. As a tip or suggestion, never plan your holiday in a hurry. Always pre-planned with the help of professional tour operators for the best comfort and best prices. Again thanks guys, for planning a perfect destination for us and offering your care and comfort at every single step.

Highly recommendable services!

Adrien Royer - Antilog Vacations Glacier Region, New Zealand Review AVB0098513

The trip to the Glacier Region in New Zealand was booked by my loyal tour operator Antilog Vacations through its online portal counterpart in New Zealand. The Heartland Hotel Fox Glacier was our abode there for 3 days and 4 nights. Located in the Cook Flat Road there was no problems in locating the place as the nearby locales were helpful.

As we reached the place we were greeted with a superb view of the huge blue mountain ranges, which provided a commanding but serene backdrop to the resort. The staff was awaiting us and welcomed us with welcome drinks and a dedicated butler who gave us info about the places to visit in the vicinity. He also helped us with our airport drop and the 6 hour car booking which we needed on the second day.

As we were going to our rooms, we saw that though a little hotel, it had the feeling of a merger of a host of buildings and as all were put together it looked updated and refurbished. In fact the so called other recent hotels in NZ where I had been to paled in front of Heartland Hotel Fox Glacier.

The room was around 600 sq ft and decorated with a local hand crafted carpet. It had a shared balcony with a stunning view of the sunrise and the sunset. The nearby rooms though separated by a thin wall, was secluded from any unnecessary cacophony and hence we were not disturbed. The front facing rooms near the staircase were the best based on our stay and hence were the first to be booked through the rooms on the back side of the hotel too had a glorious glimpse of the famous ranges - Mt Tasman and Mt Cook through the balcony.

Aniket Bhargava - Antilog Vacations Shimla Review AVB0098059

Earlier in 2016 I got married and was looking for a suitable and comfortable place for my honeymoon. So made an online search and made my bookings in Radisson, Shimla through Antilog Vacations. I booked a honeymoon paradise package-deluxe suite which cost me around Rs 10000 which included daily breakfast and dinner.

When we reached shimla via toy train we were picked up by the hotel cab from station. It was a nice and comfortable ride to hotel. When we reached there we were given a welcome drink and were taken to our hotel room which was on top floor of hotel. The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom was clean and was having all amenities of executive class.

The staff was courteous and cooperative also made themselves available when needed. The hot rain showers were amazing and helped in relaxing ourselves. The view outside the hotel was unexplainable and was situated in a calm and peaceful place. Talking about food breakfast made available at room itself and was really good.

The only thing that would make guests monotonous is that same breakfast menu is served every day. Dinner was a delight and cake that was served give us an unforgettable taste. Hotel gym was a bit small and the only disadvantage that guests might suffer was the distance of hotel from mall. Also the heating system was not upto the expectations coz we were feeling cold at night. But I would say if we neglect few negative points about the place it was worth spending money there.

Prameet Singh - Antilog Vacations Singapore Review AVB0098180

On our recent visit to Singapore, we asked our travel operator Antilog Vacations to help us with a booking for a mid-range resort with a value for money crew and property location. True their word of being budget travel agents & portal they booked the Park Avenue Changi in the heart of place. The hotel appeared very tall and as you approach the place you can understand the structure overlooking the pavement.

The hotel sports a modern and comfortable look and moreover being located in the heart of the City. The rooms provide excellent views of the city and the harbour. Views of the lined sail ships and the boats from the balcony were one of our favourite pass times as we spent time in our room. We were placed out of the room 109 on the fifth floor. At the topmost floor there is a swimming pool and a gym facility.

My room included amenities like a sofa cum patio living arrangement, a double bed, coffee maker table & chairs, mini fridge, plasma TV, Tea making facilities, a stocky hairdryer, iron table and a steam iron. The room safe and the WIFI router completed the look. Access to the room was through a chip card and one small negative which we faced was that our chip was not functioning on one particular day and hence we had some difficulty in getting entry to our own room. Thus check with the hotel authorities beforehand and arrange for a proper working card.

The restaurant, bar & lounge and the sitting area were neatly decorated and maintained and had a sombre ambience. The gesture of free drink on arrival appealed to us as we were quiet tired from our journey.

Ananete Barbosa - Antilog Vacations Leh review AVB0098458

I have a passion to fill my travel diary with the color of every new and unique experience. Similarly, solo travel of Leh & Ladakh is top on this list from several past years. So, this year I finally decided and luckily got the chance. As per my dream location, I don’t want to miss a single stuff. Within the company of Antilog Vacations (my tour operator), I managed whole the things perfectly to avoid a point of nervousness at the new place. As, I’ve cleared idea about the weather and climatic conditions of this cold desert of India.

Antilog group finalized my stay at centrally located Ladakh Residency. Truly, the place has endless gorgeous views more than my expectations. As, I’ve doubt about the altitude sickness but I was absolutely fine with my curiosity and high range of excitement.  With the warm and considerate staff, I fully enjoyed my trip in a worry-free manner. All my thanks to Ladakh Residency staff for their cooperation and support, especially in case of less oily and delicious food.  

Within the surroundings of snow covered mountains, I just loved to capture the scenic nature and its miracles especially in the case of Magnetic Hill. I truly felt the magnetism of this hill. It was the best ever lovely trip where I get the chance to discover a variety of natural attractions.. One of them is Pangkong Lake. Within the blue & green shades, the lake has mesmerizing setup. A visitor self attracts towards its gracious clear crystal beauty within the chilly and calm atmosphere. One can sit on its relaxing bank to closely feel the changing hues within the vicinity of snow covered mountains.

Simply, everything was pristine and scenic in the open nature. The place offered a great experience with its unique sunrise and sunset beauty. Similarly, Leh-Ladakh has a number of popular monasteries to truly witness the absolute tranquility. Thanks, Antilog Vacations for fulfilling my wish in a perfect manner. I highly recommend the place with my personal experience to everyone. Especially, It is a pure and silent region away from the hubbub of big cities.

Mihai Despan - Antilog Vacations Christchurch, New Zealand Review AVB0098586

The Quality Hotel Elms is ideally located in the Northwest corner of the city. The rooms were large at around 550 sq ft. Detached bedrooms and a niche kitchenette was available in the room. Coupled with a stuffed bathroom the room had a complete look. The stall shower bore a classic look though the other toiletries appeared quite outdated. The exterior of the room and the resort had a heritage look though. The staff was friendly.

The bus stop and other major attractions were also quite conveniently placed. Cars on hire were also available but the parking area in front of the place was being redone and the construction work created some ruckus at the time we were visiting. The pebbles and the cobbles were adjusted in a tight pattern and once the work would be finished you are sure of having an attractive lead up to the resort.

On the next day we went around the resort and its posterior premises. The resort was bounded together through several attached courtyards. The sitting area was nice there and coupled with the windy weather one could have stayed there for a nice view of the adjoining alley. One caveat here would be to mind your footing as the large tile blocks have a tendency to wobble. The resort authorities informed us that one minor earthquake mishap had caused this precarious position and once the masons were through with the repair of the pavement area they would mend these areas too.

Thus all in all we had a nice stay at the Quality Hotel Elms and moreover as our trip was booked by the Antilog Vacations, we had a peaceful time as there were no major hassles.
