Sally Carrick, our Chairman recently had the pleasure of staying at the five star Hotel ROCA NIVARIA GRAN at Playa Paraiso on Tenerife, The hotel is one of three owned by the Adrian family – the other two being the 5 star Hotel Jardines de Nivaria on the Costa Adeje – an Art Deco design hotel in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Playa de Fanabe and the 4 star Hotel Colon Guanahani, a boutique hotel also in Playa de Fanabe.
From the accommodation on the 6th floor there were spectacular views across the Atlantic to the island La Gomera – a luscious infinity pool – sports facilities – beautiful gardens – lovely staff - an ideal choice for families and adults
Highly recommended

Abama Hotel, Tenerife. Sally Carrick
Sally Carrick, Chairman of the Carrick Travel Group recently visited the amazing 5 star de luxe Hotel ABAMA – managed by the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Company – in the tranquil oasis of Guia de Isora in Southern Tenerife.
This property is a spectacular achievement in architectural design – spread over many acres of lush gardens – amazing pools, a funicular rail link down to the beach – a Spa to die for – numerous restaurants and nooks and crannies to retreat to. Service was immaculate throughout my stay – for the golfers – the course is on your doorstep. All accommodations were beautifully fitted out from the rooms in the Citadel to the Suites and the Villas.
Choice of restaurants including the Japanese Kabuki restaurant and the 1 star Michelin restaurant – costs commensurate with the 5 star de luxe rating
Go there for the experience – a Junior Suite in the Citadel or even one of the Villas (comes with a buggy to get around the resort) would be an excellent choice (but maybe opt for half-board!)

Milan - Thank you
I just wanted to thank you and the team for helping to organise my 4 day break in Milan over the New Year. We had a fantastic time and everything that Carrick Travel and Kirker did for us was absolutely first class.
I will have no hesitation in using your company again and will certainly be recommending you to others.

Cheylesmore - Excellent Service
I would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and the Cheylesmore branch of Carrick Travel as during my recent visit I was very well looked after and your staff were very knowledgeable (Helen Sanders) on the subject of my travel. Too often people are quick to criticise and not so quick to say "Well done".
Well Done and keep up the good work.
Best wishes
Mrs Guy

India Holiday
Many thanks to the staff of Carrick Coventry who arranged our recent trip to Kerala, India. This holiday was to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and we were thrilled with every aspect of our trip. Indus was our selected Indian Tour Operator who booked our five different hotels (including an overnight on a Rice Boat) as well as all the transportation between our destinations using Marvel Tours. All the vehicles were immaculately clean and all the drivers and guides were friendly, informative and ever ready to be available to give us the best experience. Carrick Coventry also surprised us with a special dinner at a fabulous sea-food restaurant to celebrate our anniversary which was very much appreciated.
Once again, many thanks
Pete and Joan Redhead

Stephanie Russell - Hawaii
Hi Stephanie
Thank you!
You were so lovely and helpful.
I gather that you are now telling the airlines and hotels that it is our honeymoon. Thank you so much for that. That is very kind of you.
Do please let your boss know from me that I was delighted with all your help and assistance and that we will certainly book our next trip through you again!
Nina

Turkey
Thank you for organising another wonderful holiday.
The Bodrum Princess is a really lovely hotel, in a very quiet setting down about a 5 mile road that doesn't go anywhere else. The hotel is built onto the peninsula at the end of the road, which provides a lovely sheltered small shady beach and glorious sea bathing area. The sea was warmer that the pools!
The room was excellent, with a partial pool/sea view. Huge king bed. Loads of wardrobe space. Wonderful shower and, unusually, lots of space in the bathroom to put one's stuff.
The buffet food was also excellent for all meals. On top of which there were four restaurants available at this time of year for booking: Mediterranean, Italian, Seafood, Turkish. We ate in three of the four. You must book and booking opens at 11.00. If you don't get to Customer Relations in good time, you can be disappointed. We ate in two of the snack restaurants for lunch, but the buffet is the much better option.
There are games and entertainment all day, every day. You can join in or not. The evening entertainment wasn't that great, but it passed an hour or so after dinner. There is also a quiet pool if you want to escape completely....and a beautiful spa, where the indoor pool and gym are included in the package.
The staff and service (drinks etc) were excellent. No problem there.
There is a local bus (dolmus) into Bodrum several times a day for Turkish Lira 10 return, if you want some town life. There is nothing around the hotel.
The weather was perfect. Low 30s but cool at night, so you didn't need the air conditioning on (good!) but you probably needed a sweater in the evning.
All in all, highly recommendable for a quiet, relaxing, self-indulgent holiday.
