SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

THE POSTCARD CUELIM, GOA

Located in a serene neighbourhood of southern Goa, the Postcard Cuelium is a smart, eight-room boutique hotel combining historic charm with modern comforts.

HISTORIC GEM

Looking out over 3,500 acres of verdant paddy fields, the Postcard Cuelim is a real historic gem centred on a 350-year-old chapel. Rooms feature a baroque design with stained glass, colonial antiques, elegant four-poster beds and chic teak fittings. Meals at the hotel typically feature the Goan staples of fish, curry and rice, though the talented chefs – given good notice – are happy to prepare meals to order.

The pool and tranquil, walled gardens combine to make for a truly peaceful stay. With the beach just a 15-minute walk away, leisurely strolls along the sands are always on the menu, as well as surfing lessons with local pros. Make use of the hotel’s complimentary bikes to explore the local area, or get a deeper insight on a heritage walk with a friendly local guide. And if you’re in need a complete detox, the hotel’s in-house Ayurveda specialists are on hand to provide you with a variety of relaxing massages and treatments.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
