South Male Atoll Family Packages

*Pros:* - Quick on call support at any point - Handling with patience while tweaking the itinerary multiple times - Budget friendly planning - Customization as per requirement - e.g break journey - Provided Hotel with good locations Cons: A: No idea of exact location & impacting events on the journey dates. e.g.1 We landed to Madurai on the day of Year's biggest festival of Minakshi Temple. Impacted our schedule. e.g.2 We were first timer to Tirupati. Being Travel planner - the team should have ensured that we have proper provision for Tirupati Darshan. Rather - the team took advance from us without confirming if we have ensured darshan tickets, - and then started our struggle with surprise - as we were not able to get Darshan Tickets. Somehow, we ourselves managed to get Darshan tickets at almost 6 times actual price, which is big amount - also impacting our budget & complete itinerary. We had to hire local vendor to solve this. Don't know if it is intentional by the Travel Planner, they just ensured that advance is received then let the travelers struggle with surprises. - how can Travel planner miss such important factors. Based on our request - additional discount was added by the travel agent- as we had to suffer extra cost to manage darshan tickets. e.g.3 We landed Trivandrum on day of election, due to which couple of our major destinations were not open on that day (Being Government Properties) This was also surfaced on the day - and no one from the travel agent team could anticipate this till last moment. This could have been better managed & well informed. B: Violation in the committed itineraries. e.g. 1 We supposed to land at Madurai at 5 am, which was well informed in advance. Still we found challenge to convince the team to arrange early morning pick-up, which was denied even after pre-agreements. Thanks to WhatsApp messages as proof - it saved us. e.g. 2 Based on early landing at Madurai - we specifically asked for ensuring early check-in at Madurai Hotel. Which was to our utter surprise,- this was completely missed by the team - and they denied for this & asked use to wait from 6 am to 12 pm for Check-in. We were in state of panic. Here also - Thanks to WhatsApp messages as proof - it saved us - which was having clear mention of the agreement for this requirement. But still - Team could not full-fill the agreement - and we had to adjust with make-shift arrangement for 1st half - 2 rooms instead of committed 4 rooms. e.g. 3 At Trivandrum, the checked-in hotel refused to give us Buffet Breakfast (CP plan), which was committed. Guess - this also happens. The hotel was under renovation and smelling paint at reception - this was not even known to the travel agents - that's what they say. So, the committed buffet they converted to “à la carte” and told us that it will be delivered to room. & they were not sure of Menu. This all information was given to us after interrogating the hotel staff at Check-in. Otherwise, it was left as Morning surprise. We had to argue & fight lot - to make sure they deliver Buffet - at least in limited way at their small available cafe. We got this done with Fight and involving travel agent. C: Driver's proficiency Make sure for south journey you ask for proper Driver who atleast understands Hindi. Else it will be like under-control of bot which is having it's own agenda. Our Driver - had limited agenda as per given list - that too was not followed - or we had to enforced. We managed somehow through Hinglish and could convey what sequence to be followed and made sure it is done. D: Hotel Categories - was committed to be 3-4 star atleast. 2 out of 5 provided hotels were way below 3 star category - atleast as experience. One of the hotel was so bad that - had to click photos to share bad experience with the agent. *Summarization:* - Agent should have proper understanding of location & other impacting factors (eg. Darshan Tickets, Larger events on the day, Hotel under renovation...) - Properties To be provided with proper check (e.g below committed star ratings, Breakfast facilities...)

It was a great trip and we return home with fond memories of Goa. Special thanks to Manish @ travel triangle for promptly taking our calls and seeing that cab/ shared bus are taken care of . A word of advice is that South Goa trip could have been clubbed with Dudhsagar Waterfall visit.That way one day could be well utilised in shopping or just for leisurely stroll along the ⛱️ beach I loved the water sports activities especially parasailing and dnt miss the 9D show ,fish aquarium for sure

Nice trip and but lot of travel time in car ,and you can provide more packages in South India region also

Few things were missed out from the inclusions: Travel Insurance was not shared with us though it was mentioned in Inclusions. Travel itinerary to the resort was not mentioned anywhere. It takes almost 4 to 5 hours for us to reach the resort from Male airport which was not informed much earlier. We lost time in travelling rather we should be spending time on vacation. Please be very transparent next time. Dolphin view, Sunset watching, food

Thulhagiri Island Resort and Spa is located in the Heart of North Male' Atoll, Republic of Maldives. 20Minutes Speedboat from Male' International Airport. Our boats are available to pick you up from the Airport at any time of the day , we had a great time ahead thanks to Holidays Paradise to provide the best service.

Overall experience was excellent only hotel need to add Indian menu in their breakfast like South Indian food, chole bhature, Puri bhaji which was missing otherwise hotel was also very good.

We chose to travel triangle for planning our 8 day trip to 4 cities in Rajashthan from chennai in the 2023 year end. The travel triangle agent helped us in setting up the itenerary and the hotel accommodations. Since the arrival at the airport until the end of the trip, the agent was accessible and helping. All the hotels booked for us was awesome and made our New year's Eve wonderful. We never faced any difficulties in contacting the drivers after reaching the respective destinations. It was a beautiful trip altogether. The only negative remark about the trip was our 10 hour bus journey from Jaisalmer to Jaipur. The agent should have checked for better bus with better reviews/ ratings. The bus journey was very uncomfortable for my family consisting of elderly people as the drivers admitted a lot of people on the way in the middle of the night without reservation. Although we had reserved our sleeper births, the people sat on our seats and on the floor which never happens in South India on sleeper busses. This was very disturbing and scary throughout the night. So in future please ensure the bus bookings are from reliable travels and even if it costs and additional 500-600 rupees. All the hotel accommodations especially the accommodation in the Mandore guest house, Jodhpur was excellent. The Jaisalmer desert camp stay was a different experience with cultural shows, bonfire, the camel safari and jeep safari in the sand dunes. Once in a lifetime experience! The Udaipur City palace and the amer palace (Jaipur) tour was incredible The shopping experience in the bazars was also nice.

We had booked a land only package through Travel Triangle & their Channel partner Udani Holidays for Sri Lanka. We booked for 5 Sr Citizen couples. They planned our itinerary exactly as per choice and preferences. Sri Lankan Natural beauty is exceptional. The sea beaches are very good. Sea water is very clear. The beauty of beaches increases when we travel from North Srilanka towards south. Galle beach and old colony superb. The country is still suffering from the prolonged ethnic violence and recent political disturbance. So development is very little. But this has added to the beauty as most of the nature remains un exploited and is still virgin. Upkeep of all hotels in budget range was not at par with other destinations and India. Service also is bit slow. Still it is very good compared to the cost. There are 5 Stars hotels also like Taj etc but these are very costly. In summary Ideal place for relaxing, clean budget package. Our contact at Travel Triangle was Miss Chetna and for Udani Mrs Harshini. Miss Chetna maintained regular coordination between us and Udani. This helped us fine tune our trip. Mrs Hansini provided us good hotels and very good transport. She responded immediately for our queries seamless There was last minute cancellation of 1 couple from our group. But travel triangle and udani contacts managed cancellation of hotels without any charges and that too during the last week of December. I would like to end the review special mention of our driver Mr Kalum for 7 nights,. He is a very good person and extremely satisfied . He was always punctual and well behaved. We felt comfortable with him.
