Jul 08> I am writing to you in response to our recent tennis trip to Malta. I was very pleased with the trip over all and whilst in Malta, it was obvious that the boys were really enjoying themselves and were pleased with the trip too.

On my return I asked the boys to fill in a questionnaire regarding their thoughts on the trip, but due to being away from school for two weeks after having given the forms out, I have only received seven responses back.

Even with only less than half the questionnaires back, I think it was clear to see that the trip was a huge success and there are consistencies in the aspects of the trip that were liked and disliked. Only one boy did not enjoy himself due to being very homesick. This was his first time away from home in this way and not really any fault of the trip.

Looking at the responses, the only thing I would leave out for next time would be the guided tour of Valletta. It didn't seem to be too popular. I personally thought it was good and was pleased that the boys were getting some historical information about the island. They found it a little slow and a little too much like being back at school when they should have been playing tennis perhaps.

I am not too concerned that the food and hotel was not rated as highly as it might have been. We were a school party and not after high end accommodation. The hotel was fine for our needs and the staff there looked after us very well. The food, possibly, lacked a bit of variety from one day to the next, but again, was fine, nobody went hungry or got sick.

From my point of view, obviously, the several changes to the flights were a little distressing. In addition, your reluctance to sign the appropriate paper work for my school's Trips Officer nearly prevented us from coming. As it had been done for our trip earlier in the year and that trip had been successful, the Trips Officer turned a blind eye (but was not happy). This paperwork needs to be done for each and every trip. This may influence our decision to use your company again should I decide to run another one. This is a shame, as once there, we had a fantastic time and all went well.

I would like to thank you, Carmela and George for being terrific hosts and taken such good care of us on our visit. I look forward to visiting Malta again soon.

Yours sincerely,

John Shelley

Jul 08> Wonderful tour mate!!! Highly memorable. Brilliant location, cricket superb, great programme, i.e. 'Splash and Fun' waterpark and 'Captain Morgan' boat trip superb
Andy Ellison will e-mail you some tour pictures, you may want to use.
The transportation workes strike was only a slight inconvience, big thanks to Carmella for her help, she did very well indeed in a clearly difficult week. Hotel and staff excellent.
Will contact you again for a further booking.
Very impressed with Malta, and its cricket scene in particular.
Thanks again, ourt kids are very grateful!!!
Steve

Jul 08> Would you recommend Sun Dreams Travel = Yes Comments = dear friends, we've met a lot of nice and friendly people, but - sorry - i exspected much more about 4 stars sunny coast hotel (cleaness, breakfast - 3 or 5,5 euro for continental one ?); except of that we spent very nice time on your island; greetings for all emergency gozo-victoria-hospital staff, and many hot thanks for your help in arrangement of our holidays; tomek

Jun 08> Many thanks for the Accommodation Voucher and also all the assistance you have provided with my booking. It has all been greatly appreciated and I shall definitely be recommending sundreamstravel.com to anyone planning a trip to Malta! Many thanks yet again,
Aislinn

Jun 08> What can we say - except a huge thank you for everyone for making our wedding at Selmun Palace so wonderful - exactly how we wished it! But bigger thanks to Rosemarie for all her hard work in making it happen, and for making us feel so welcome. It was all really fantastic - including the holiday & we would do it all again if we could!

Jun 08> Dear Rosemarie, Please go ahead with my reservation as stated in your mail. I appreciate your comments with regards to the other site and will keep that in mind for any future bookings. I will most certainly deal with you again and recommended you to a client who booked her hotel with you also and she seems to be very happy with your service also.

Again I would like to apologize for any confusion and upset on my part and would like to thank you for all your help once again. You are correct in the fact that you are a very proffessional company and that is something that will always stand to you.

So please go ahead and confirm my reservation in the Topaz Hotel for the dates requested and I look forward to dealing with you again. Thank you and regards, Maria Smyth

Jun 08> Hello Rosemarie, Hope you are well. I couldn't display the web page when clicking on the link u sent me for feedback. Do you know when we it will be likely we will receive the marriage certificate?? I need it to re register Bethany as we weren't married when she was born, as well as to change my name. It has been a big shock coming back to England - it is v cold compared to Malta!! Can you pass on our huge thanks to Konrad - the photos are fabulous. I have shown everyone!! And they all are really impressed. We are really really pleased with everything. Thanks again Lindsay and Simon x

May 08> Dear Pierre, Thank you kindly for all your help yesterday. We have been coming to Malta for years now so we know out way around the island and have fallen in love with the Victoria hotel. There are no Dutch agencies selling their rooms at this moment but you have provided us with both good rates (much better than the hotel itself has on offer) and good service.
We are looking forward to our visit to the island in September and will be sure to use your agency again if any further needs should occur.

Best regards, Joop en Annemieke Broekman

DAVID

Feb 08> Hi Pierre and Carmela, thank you both for working so hard and making it a wonderful trip and the itinerey was superb, although we had quite a few adjustments to make, Sundreams worked brilliantly to ease any problems. The girls already have asked when are we going again! I would definately use you again!! Thanks again from us all.

Feb 08> Excellent arrangments as always. Would have no hesitation to reccomend sundreamstravel.com as a very efficient travel company. Simon

Feb 08> Just a quick e-mail to thank you so much for giving us such a good time..you certainly know how to send us all back exhausted!!

We all enjoyed it and the journey home went really well and I finally got into bed at 6am shattered!

I will actually write to you in more detail when I get a chance but from me alone its a big thank you to you, Carmela, Peter and I suppose George!

Wish I'd had time to meet with you for a coffee. Best Wishes
Jude

Feb 08> very pleased with the tour you organised. students enjoyed all excursions and i feel that it was excellent value for money. my only groans are 1) the experience of the opposition - average of age of most opposition was 30.

2) opposition did not bring umpires - very difficult to coach/ substitute players when all teachers used.
luckily i had 2 adults who had some experience playing/impiring netball.
don't feel it is acceptable for
teams to expect touring teams to umpire matches single handedly.

other than that very pleased with sundreams.

Jan 08> Dear Rosemarie, It was great to finally meet you! I am happy to write my review since we are all 100% satisfied with your service and glad that we were lucky enough to have you organize our wedding. I also thank you for sending us the photo CD before we left.
You are very welcome to use your photos in you website or anything else.

We are all greatful for all your coporation to organize our wedding and
our family dinner afterwards. It was a challange for us to have the big day in a place half around the world from where we live (Japan) but thanks to you and your prompt
and organized service, we had a perfect ceremony and lovely dinner just
as we wished. My parents and friends were amazed and happy as well and wish you the best.
I am sure to recommend you to all my best friends if they have a chance
to visit Malta because I am so sure you will be great to them too. Thank you once again and hope for the best to you. Best regards, Sayaka

Nov 07 > Hi Pierre, Hope you and your family are well. Just a quick note to say how much all of us enjoyed our stay over in Malta recently. Everything, from start to finish was superbly organised and run. Please pass on my thanks to all host clubs and schools for their generosity in agreeing to play us. Carmela was absolutely fantastic - it is the first time that we have been away where we have had a local representative with us all of the time to "see us right". If you require any testimonial for publicity purposes - please feel free to ask. I would have no doubt in recommending you for future tours. Speaking of which - we are toying with the idea of bringing over a senior team (just one this time) in Feb 2009. Is is too early to ask for you to do us a quote? If not, let me know and I will put together an email for you.Many thanks once again, Best regard John,Lady Manners School

Nov 07 > Everthing great unfortunatly I got bad weather which spoilt the holiday. David Kirk

Nov 07 > Hi Pierre and Rosemarie. I hope you're both well. Ella and I had a brilliant time in Malta, the hotel was superb and in a great location, we wanted somewhere relaxing and we certainly got that! The transfers were always prompt and drivers very friendly. I would certainly travel with sundreamstravel.com again! Thanks for everything, i'll be in touch about our next trip shortly. All the best, Daniel

Nov 07 > Thank You Rosemarie and Pierre for organizing us accomodation and airport transfer. It was also a reason beside the fantastic wedding of Karen and Paul we enjoyed our Malta visit so much. If someone wants to travel to Malta I would recommend sundreamstravel.com imeadiatly. What a luck that we met us at the end of the wedding. It was a pleasure for us to meet you personal. Reinhold and Ursula Sonntag
Konstanz, Germany

Oct 07 > Hi Pierre, Just a note to let you know we had a great time in Gozo/Malta, everything
according to schedule. The hotel was good would definately go back (could do with sorting out their GYM though), everywhere we ate we good food an service, the people in general, not just the staff were very friendly. We will be in touch when we are ready to go again, maybe a two stop holiday Sliema/St Julian's, followed by Gozo, preferably the grand superior room. If you have any good deals come up then feel free to let me know.
Thanks again, Speak soon, Phil & Julie Herbert

Oct 07 > Hi Rosemarie, just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for us so far in organising our wedding. Esspecially showing us round on Wednesday. It has really put my mind at rest and I now have complete faith and trust that you will make sure our day is perfect. I am looking forward to it! Talk to you soon, Lindsay

Oct 07 > We thought you might be coming with us because the taxi driver at Catania was holding a card with your name on ! Everything was perfect and we had such a fabulous time we did not want to come home. The hotel was first class and Taormina has such fabulous restaurants that I have been inspired to learn how to cook Italian food ! The best restaurant - www.ristorantebaronessa.it

We did and excursion to Etna and went by jeep to 2700m and walked 300m to the edge of a crater. I was terrified - freezing cold, sulphur blowing and just black lava ! But I did it ! Memorable ! Please see attached picture of the jeep !

We have been back at work a week now.......back in rainy England and back to reality, but I suppose if we were on holiday all the time we would not appreciate it so much.

Thank you again. We will be visiting Malta either over the new year period or early January and we hope that you will be able to help us with our travel arrangements again. Best Regards, Helen

Sep 07 > Hi Rosemarie, Thanks for sorting out our holiday for this year, we had a fabulous time and the service we received from you was second to none. We are already thinking about next year and would like a price for the same for next year. Again thanks for being a great travel agent and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Sean.

Sep 07 > The accomodation was very cheap so we din't expect too much but we spent a very good holiday in Malta we think we will come again. Ann

Jul 07 > Thanks for taking time from your holiday to respond to my queries. As it happened, I did not need the doctor, I also decided to give driving a miss (I had forgotten how furious it is!!) and the balcony was waiting for us. Everything went superbly, we have had a good break, we did not want to come home to rain and cold winds. Once more many, many thanks for the service you give us. I hope it will not be an imposition when we ask you to sort out our next trip to your wonderful islands. David and Tina

Jul 07 > Thank you for organizing the most amazing wedding for us at Selmun Palace. the location, food and service was amazing. We had a wonderful time and I cannot express just how beautiful and special our wedding day was for us. Rosemarie and Carmella you both did a wonderful job in helping to organise the wedding and making sure the day was perfect - which it was. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and the level of care you gave us was outstanding. I would recommend you to anyone wishing to marry in Malta, you made it as wonderful as it was. Thank you. Anna, Jon, Oliver and Phoebe.

Jul 07 > The free airport transport service was really appreciated, especially when you arrive late, as we did. Our accomodation (Solair) was rather cheap, so we didn't expect much of it, but it was ok. It was a bit noisy and not all equipment worked properly, but overall we were happy with our stay there. Melaniew Bauwens

Jul 07 > wonderful island(Comino), nice hotel with good service,but noisy room( near reception,) excellent airport transfers

Westy, Thanks very much for talking me into the tour, best time I have had for a very long time, looking forward to next year with no initiation, Robbie

Westy, I want to add to the general congratulations - a massive thank you from TOLBERONE. Feeling 10 years younger. Now back in the Swiss alps. Thanks for organising a Great Tour. Toblerone

Dear Westy, A belated strong slap on the back for a really first class tour. The programme was excellent and the timings spot on, Bjorn

Jon, Many thanks for all your hard work in organising the tour. I really enjoyed it and it was great to see so many old mates, many of whom I hadn't seen for years (although some had hardly changed!). A fantastic effort on your part - well done.

Westy, Thanks for organising such a great trip.Thoroughly enjoyed tour, certainly the best in my experience not only of Farnham Vets but others. Fish

Westy, Just wanted to say a massive thanks for organising the tour – brilliant job, brilliant stash, brilliant crew, brilliant weather, even some brilliant rugby!

Blob (not feeling very brilliant at the moment)

Thanks Westy, it was a great tour! Ollie

hear, hear..... Slarky (on behalf of the 'Farnham 3') - feeling reasonably well but possibly not quite sober yet

It was OK, I suppose..........Rubic

Westy Echo Blob's sentiments but sadly I have come home without having traced my father! Very many thanks for all your effort LoveMark

Etc. etc…….Thanks again Westy

May 07 > I have to commend you on the excellent and very professional service you provide. Everything went exactly as planned and I can't tell you how much of a relief that is for a tour organiser. All of the boys had a great time and, although most of them would never have thought of coming to Malta before, would have no hesitation in coming back. A lot of the credit for that goes to Pierre and Carmela for the friendly and efficient way you run your business. Pierre, I have to congratulate you on the great job you do for Maltese rugby. You can be truly proud of the great strides that you've made in a short period of time and the game can only get stronger with the level of commitment shown over the weekend.Thanks again for everything, best and fondest regards, Steve

May 07 > SDT were our ground agents for a recent rugby tour, and the group were thoroughly impressed with the service. We hope to be able to work with you guys more often in the future. Thanks, Sam Jennings

May 07 > Hi mate, First things first! Thankyou for all you have done for us whilst with you, mate! I have never met such a personable and professional character such as yourself! Once again thanks mate!The guys who went and also the guys who didn't come, have already been asking me what the dates for the tour next year are?? Can you believe it? I am looking forward to becoming your advocate to promoting the tour throughout the UK, so as soon as you agree the dates etc., we will hook up and form a plan of action! Loz

Apr 07 > Pierre,Many many thanks for the gift, it is very nice and greatly appreciated. I just wanted to write, and thank you and Carmela (and her husband) for all your help in making the tour an enjoyable and successful experience. We couldnt have hoped for much more, and as I am sure you are aware keeping kids happy is hard to do, but I think we achieved it fully. Many thanks once again. Amy

Apr 07 > This is just a note to sundreamstravel.com for your great organization of our tour, the tour was enjoyed by all, but most importantly by the boys themselves who had a great time on and off the pitch. I am buying a cover for my pint glass to use when at the club, or might start drinking out of bottles. Some of us are seriously considering a holiday in Malta and will certainly be in touch soon if we decide to come. Phil Herbert

Apr 07 > Both staff and students really enjoyed their week. It was nice weather which allowed time for relaxation in the sun and the coaches put on to St Julians were very much appreciated. Organisation in the UK was excellent, and the reps over there couldn't do enough for us. Fantastic and successful week all round. Dean Close

Mar 07 > Thanks a lot for arranging a wonderful trip to your islands, all went well and your organisation of our trip was like clock work. We will definately reccommend your services and look forward to return to your islands and utilising your services. Best regards, Agnes

Feb 07 > As usual your service is professional, personal and extremely knowledgeable have no reservation in recommending you to anyone. Andrew Dowling

Feb 07 > hi, I had never been in Malta before and reviewed all the info on your web site prior to booking. It looked interesting and I finally booked a hotel for a week over with you.

Nov 06 > Over half-term pupils from Years 8, 9 and 10 went on a Netball Tour to Malta for a week from 30 October-6 November 2006. It was an experience of a lifetime and everyone brought great memories back with them. We all formed a special bond and became much closer as a School.

Each day was filled with many hours of netball skills and training, but most importantly it was also great fun. Although we played lots of netball we were also given time to explore the island. One of the most enjoyable days was the water park. The morning we were due to go everybody’s faces were beaming with excitement. The first impression was it looked very deserted. However, this in fact made it twice the fun!! We spent the day running around with friends and having races down the challenging slides, but we never got tired. Even the teachers, Mrs Edwards, Mrs Haacke and Miss Peddle seemed to enjoy it, soaking up every last little bit of the sun. This was only one of the enjoyable fun-packed days we experienced.

Most importantly we all knew that we went to Malta for netball and we made sure that we made the most of practice time. We came back as better individuals, as well as better teams. All our hard work has certainly paid off. Training sessions were hard, sometimes extremely hard, but between the teachers and each other we kept strong and motivated. It was hard work getting up at 6.00am in the morning and having to do fitness. Running on the beach made it that little bit better, especially when it came to practising ball skills. We had to run along the edge of the sea, determined to reach for the ball without the defender getting it, which meant we were all falling in the sea. This definitely kept everyone amused and was a completely different way of training.

We were in Malta on Halloween night, which made it that extra bit special, mainly because that evening we had to dress up. Just to make it even more embarrassing for us we all had to go bowling wearing our costumes! However, it turned out to be a great evening and something we shall all never forget. Everyone had made a great effort and the outfits were amazing, each one creative and original. Eleanor Thomas won first prize for best Halloween outfit and she even managed to take a broomstick and a homemade costume! We all agreed she deserved first prize.

After all the hard training sessions we had endured we were looking forward to putting them into practice. Several matches had been arranged for the tour and we were certainly up for the challenge.

We knew we had to put all our effort into each match. Both the A and B Teams had mixed age groups and this meant we had to work extra hard in communicating as we do not normally mix age groups within school teams. The teams we were playing were of an extremely high standard, but this did not deter us. The B team won two out of their three matches and when the A team lost it was only by a few goals. It was especially hard for the A team’s final match as we were playing the Under 15s National Malta Netball Squad. It was a very close fought match and we were narrowly beaten. It really showed that all the hard training sessions had paid of. After a long day of either hard training or matches it meant we always needed a good meal! Evening dinner was usually at a lovely restaurant. Portions were big so nobody ever left with an empty stomach! During the tour we managed to squeeze in a boat trip, jeep safari, shopping trips, cinema, snorkelling and the Hard Rock Café. This meant we were never bored.

The Malta Tour is something I believe everyone should be involved with in the future if you enjoy netball. For us it was not only motivating, confidence and character building, but we also forged new friendships. A huge thank you must go to all three teachers that took us - Mrs Edwards, Mrs Haacke and Miss Peddle and to all those that helped with the organisation of the trip and the fund raising that went on many months before, from supplying and selling cakes every week to the 24-hour sponsored trampoline. Grace Clarke – Malta Tour Captain

Nov 06 > Thanks for the email, Pierre. The feedback you received was accurate. The tour was an absolute success from our perspective and all our aims were achieved. It was great for me to come 'back home' at last. That was a real bonus. I would be happy to act as reference for you should it be useful. It is the least I could do for the help you offered. The Int Corps has a match tomorrow (Wednesday) against the Physical Training Corps. I know the ball skills practice you showed us at the Sharks pavilion will be employed in the warm up.Thanks again Russ will no doubt be in touch soon with regard to the boxing. All the best, Craig

Oct 06 > Thanks for taking care of these extra transfers for us on our wedding day. We are now back home in Calgary and will have to return to work this week, although we obviously rather be back on Gozo. And again thank you for arranging a very small but successful wedding for us. Brandon

Oct 06 > Firstly, thank you again for organising our wedding! We had such a wonderful time in Malta, and think about it a lot since our return. Everyone we dealt with was delightful, and Charlene & Crystelle were ever so helpful. Kind regards, Brid

Sep 06 > Hi Rosemarie, just a quick email to let you know that we safely received the Marriage Certificate last Saturday morning (16th). Thanks for all your help in making the Wedding such a memorable occasion !! Best wishes and kind regards to you and your family, Paul and Olga
