Cachet Travel Traveller Reviews

Our trip was to a hotel called Ece on Sovalye, which is on an Island near Fethiye, for a week. We had stayed there before and it was as good as before. It is in a beautiful quiet location, with pleasant good sized rooms, excellent food and wonderful staff.

Cachet Travel offered a package of flights, taxi transfer and boat to the island, plus hotel. Transport arrangements worked well with a little help from hotel staff who had to provide the boat transfer.

We had a wonderful two weeks in Crete, one in Chania and one at Blue Beach. We have been to Crete before but these venues were new to us, as was the flight into Chania Airport, and we wanted to see the west which we had not done before. I saw the hotel in Chania in the Cachet brochure ten years ago and always wanted to go. It did not disappoint. We had three days with a car and saw the places we wanted to go. Chania at night was fun and pretty. Blue Beach was very relaxing.

They were very efficient and helpful and the rep on the island was really great.

Our three weeks on the hair-raising roads of Crete will certainly be one to remember! In our hire car we explored the island from east to west, discovering some enchanting villages, marvelling at the flowers, getting to grips with Minoans, Myceneans, Romans, Venetians and Turks, and staying in some lovely accommodation. All in all, the mountainous nature of Crete was a revelation and the friendliness and helpfulness of its people a delight.

We have been ably looked after by Cachet from the time of our first enquiry to our arrival home. From the first, they accommodated our wishes and arranged us a bespoke holiday at an amazing price. They were always prompt and friendly in their communications with us. Having a rep on Crete was certainly a bonus, as we felt we had a friend we could call on with any difficulties, and the odd problem was swiftly resolved. The car hire people they deal with could not have been more helpful when the clutch suddenly went, and arrived on the dot of the arranged time at our accommodation with a replacement. We were extremely impressed with the standard of the accommodation at all resorts, with the only reservation being that one of them was 30 minutes drive from the main road.

4 days in El Hierro and 5 days in the NW of Gran Canaria,Stayed at the Parador in El Hierro and Finca Las Longueras in Gran Canaria.Parador is on the beach so get a sea facing room and Las Longueras is in the Valle de Agaete in the rural NW.Both great stays but very different .If you like keeping away from the crowds ,which we do, then this will be for you.

Good organisation and advice.They listened to what we wanted and came up with several suggestions.Prompt and efficient.We have used Cachet before and they always deliver.

My husband and I went for two weeks to Villas Brisa Marina in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote. We were in need of some winter sunshine. Although the weather was a bit iffy to start with, it improved. All the arrangements worked well, the villa was spacious and would not have been cramped even with three couples. Spotlessly clean with good-sized dining table, sofas, etc. Well-situated, about 10-15 minutes walk to town centre and supermarkets. Overall a very relaxed holiday, doing very little, although a few runs along the coastal path to the lighthouse or towards Papagayo the other way helped to mitigate the effects of some very good doughnuts!

All our arrangements with Cachet Travel worked well. We got documentation promptly, flights were fine, car pick-up was done quickly and efficiently when we arrived. We were taken to our accommodation by the local representative. No complaints.

Arrangements made by Cachet were clear, easy to follow and with the exception of one blip, everything went according to plan. It was very useful to have a contact on the island who quickly resolved our issue. We might have gone slightly too early in the year as the weather was not quite as warm as expected. Temp between 5 and 20 degrees on one day depending on how high we were. A beautiful and very interesting island and one to go back to, with an aim of undertaking more of the wonderful walks (and hopefully not in the clouds this time!).

very helpful and came back to me very quickly re domestic flights in the Canary Islands.

It was our Golden Wedding anniversary and we wanted a special holiday to mark the occasion. We are not frequent travellers and so we put ourselves in the expert hands of Cachet travel who totally organised our itinerary for a two-island holiday in the Canaries; four nights on La Gomera and five nights on La Palma, staying at the Parador on both islands and with car hire and ferry journeys between Tenerife and La Gomera and La Gomera and La Palma. We had a lovely time, delicious food, a delightful Gala New Year's Eve dinner, and days of hair-raising driving on the mountainous, twisting (but excellent) roads. Despite our advanced years we also managed a bit of walking. All in all a lovely memorable holiday.

When I contacted Cachet Travel I immediately felt great confidence in them. An itinerary was quickly suggested, alterations were made and all with the minimum of bother and effort from me. All queries were dealt with promptly and our paperwork arrived as expected. From the moment we landed in Tenerife everything ran smoothly and everyone involved was extremely helpful. Letters were waiting for us with detailed instructions at the airport, car hire, and hotels. We felt that nothing could go wrong as it was all so beautifully organised, and it didn't! What we felt that we received from Cachet Travel was the personal touch, a good knowledge of our destinations, and an involvement in ensuring that we got exactly what we were looking for.

We would like to thank Cachet Travel and all its staff for the wonderful holiday we have just had in Greece. Their attention to our requirements went beyond the normal remit of a holiday company and nothing seemed too much trouble. They arranged everything for us, from help at airports for my husband who has walking difficulties, to ferry tickets and help with our baggage at destinations. Their representative, Dawn, was a mine of information and offered us friendly and yet professional advice and help. Her personal knowledge of Samos helped us get the most out of our week there and her bright and cheerful disposition made her seem like a friend from the moment we met! We would like to thank everyone at Cachet Travel and would recommend that anyone looking for a relaxed and interesting holiday in the Greek Islands contact them for advice. They are very flexible and inventive in their planning for their clients and it is a pleasure to find this personal touch in this busy industry, in a world that is usually faceless and impersonal.

Hotel and location surpassed all expectations. Fabulous views, friendly and charming owner and staff. A very relaxing time.

Cachet Travel - Hotel and location well described, helpful and efficient both during booking process and confirmation of travel. Excellent resort representative (Dawn Jackson).

Having fallen in love with the wonderful & dramatic Canary Islands since a visit to Lanzarote in the 1990s, it has become my personal ambition to see ALL of the 7 main islands. I recently completed a visit to certainly the most inaccessible and challenging island, namely El Hierro. When people asked me in advance where I was going, and I replied "El Hierro"....everyone looked bemused. "Where?", they replied. Well, it's a hidden gem, well worth discovering. Statistically, it is the smallest and 'youngest' (historically) of the Canaries. Smaller than the Isle of Wight, but with a volcanic ridge rising to 1500 metres (almost 5000 feet) across the centre. There are only 3 petrol stations and just a couple of hotels providing more than B&B. There are no direct flights going there from UK: you either need a ferry from Tenerife or, as I did, use the thoroughly delightful Binter Canarias inter-island flights (72-seater, twin-propeller planes!) from Tenerife North or Gran Canaria Las Palmas. No mainstream/household-name package holiday companies feature it as a destination. Only 2 specialist, independent agents do, namely Cachet Travel in London (which I used) and the other serves seasoned hikers/walkers (which I am most definitely not!). I am just back from a thoroughly memorable experience. I knew, from copious research, that the scenery was going to be dramatic....but, within a day, the reality proved to be much better. So, 2900 photos (on 2 cameras) later and 1100 kilometres driving & sightseeing (even the car hire company was stunned at my mileage!!), I can say it was a perfect success. Couldn't have achieved it without Cachet Travel, and I do mean that. If I had tried to book each facet of the holiday myself online, it would definitely have gone horribly wrong. Only one and a 'half' Canary Islands still to see comprehensively. And they are quite easily reached. Bring it on!

Thoroughly professional, which is a rarity today in my opinion. Friendly, efficient/well-organised. And highly knowledgeable about the destinations they serve. They claim to serve "discerning travellers". And that's exactly what they do with the optimum efficiency. Cachet Travel is their name. A most appropriate name!
