Pragya's 5 days trip to Dubai

Kudos to Annu our travel agent who helped us out both in India and during the trip in Dubai. Locations were good, there were some easily ignored issues (due to SIC and type of bookings) regarding the actual itinerary, however, the hotel reserved for our stay was not up to the mark. I have previously booked trips with Travel Triangle, but this time the hotel was a disappointment to say the least. Hotel receptionists were not co-operative, mismanaged, not synced with one another, and could not accommodate simple requests from us. So what could have been a good experience turned out to be an ok ok one. Beautiful locations and spots in the itinerary.

Subhaketan's 5 days trip to Dubai

Dubai Trip was nicely arranged. Vouchers sent on time, Visa done on time. All information was provided by Sumit on time, well coordinated. The Dessert Safari was excellent, driver was very good. However, some of the driver's behavior was not good. Premium safari Camp was not provided as promised. The Dessert Safari camp food was very bad, might not be in the hands of the agency.

Sparsh's 5 days trip to Dubai

Dubai trip was good. Travel agent Satguru and his team were very friendly and assisted us in all the ways possible. Trip was well planned and time was well managed. We even got sufficient time to explore the city by our self. Hotel Carlton Palace service could have been better as it was not meeting 5 star standards. Breakfast buffet was not that great. Rest over all we had an amazing time and enjoyed the trip. Thanks to Satguru Holidays and Travel Triangle team. Special thanks to Abhijit from Satguru who handle this so well.
