I will book with Travstar again! Chanelle was so quick to respond to my questions and inquiries. Great customer service. On board blew my expectations away! The food was much more then expected and the staff was so friendly. Laura one of the dive instructors was great! Told my Australia friends about the \\\"hosties\\\" program. If we make it back will stay again and hopefully longer!

Very good value for money. Great crew:passenger ratio so you get very well looked after. Fresh ingredients used. Steak not overcooked! You can tell the chef is trained!
