Hi Billie

Well we just wanted to write and say we have been and are back from our Maldives Holiday, and wanted to thank you for all your efficient service and that of Martitza in your absence when we had to postpone our trip.

We had a wonderful time, warm sun, warm water, great snorkelling and the resort was great, the flight via Dubai was  a bit long, with lots of waiting so next time we will fly direct Jhb - Male, but the Maldives bug had bitten, so we will definitely return and try another island .....

We will use yoour company again, everything went so smooothly, no hitches, well organised and we are very appreciative of that.

With thanks and kind regards

Debbie & Hatti

Hallo Maritza

 

Our vacation at Pearle Beach was fantastic. The resort was wonderful and its location right on the beach was perfect. The rooms, food and drinks were also excellent. We enjoyed all the free activities at the hotel and the snorkeling was the greatest.

 

One week was actually too short for a 1st time visit to Mauritius as we needed more time to explore Mauritius and have extra days to lie in the sun.

 

This trip was good value for money. Thanks for the experience!

 

Kind regards

Michele

Hi there Billie,

Well what can I say…I can’t believe its all over.

WE had a fantastic time…everything ran absolutely smoothly…with no hiccups at all. We loved the hotel. The service and food were impeccable.

All in all, a holiday and a hotel and a service to be recommended.

Thank you Billie for all the arranging that made it so.

We hope to be able to do it again in  two years….but we will have to see.

Best wishes

Yours sincerely

Michelle

Hi Maritza

 

We had a wonderful time, thank you very much.

 

We found the accommodation at Paradise Sun really great, so as to their staff.  Very helpful!  Really great location on Praslin.  Only thing is as to speaking to other travelers, they would have liked more activities for children.

 

With Travel Expeditions we were very happy.  Quick and friendly response, which really makes traveling a pleasure.

 

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Maritza,

 

Als was perfek gewees, kon nie gevra het vir n beter vakansie in die paradys nie. Almal was so hulpvaardig gewees iets waaraan ek nie gewoont is nie baie dankie.

 

Kan jy kyk of jy vir my n kwotasie kan uitwerk vir Desember maar die keer saam my kinders kan nie weer so lank sonder my twee seuntjies wees nie. Die een is 4 en die ander een is 6 en sal jy kyk of jy iets kan uitwerk so vanaf die 13de tot die 20ste Desember 2010 asseblief maar kyk of jy ons in n ander lugdiens kan sit want ons het so ‘n bietjie sleg geloop met die kos soontoe en terug en ook dat ons voor die vlerke is.

 

Baie dankie vir alles ek waardeer al die moeite.

Dear Billie,

 
We enjoyed our honeymoon and Ephelia was very impressive. What we did have a problem with was the Creole travel services on the Island. Their system isn't very efficient, as only one person (named Bessy) is able to help you but there is always a queue of people waiting for her whilst the other reps don't/can't help you despite them being able to speak English and not helping anyone. Therefore, after us waiting half an hour to see Bessy (on her request) we had to join a group where only French was being spoken and thus we didn't know what was going on and didn't want to waste time. The second experience we weren't too happy about was when we went on a snorkeling expedition (arranged by Creole) and were put in the 'English-speaking' group, however the guide spoke about 80% German and 20% English even though half of the couples could only speak/understand English and the Germans all understood English.
 
Other than that the trip went smoothly, thank you for organizing everything.
 
Kind regards
Tina

Masons travel picked us up and dropped us off – very professional – on time, no hassles.

Didn’t need early check in, they took us straight to our room at 10h00 already and had upgraded us to a seaside pool villa cause we were on honeymoon.

Rooms are super luxurious with an outside shower, inside shower, bath, air conditioning, safe, minibar, kettle, tv with dstv, dvd player with a whole library of dvd’s.

Service was very good – 3 meals a day, 4 restaurants to choose from, each villa has its own bicycles, all watersports are free, all tours to neighbouring islands (except Praslin) and boat snorkelling trips are free.

Staff were very friendly and helpful – you can see they take pride in their resort.

Your service was very good – everthing worked out just as it was on the itenerary.

Thank you!

To say that it was enjoyable would be an understatement. IT WAS FANTASTIC.

Everything was perfect, the hotel, the room, facilities, food, service, staff everything. I could not fault it in any way. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had and would recomment the resort to everyone I know.

The service from you was as perfect. I was a bit sceptical in the beginning as I was communicating purely via email, but you made me feel extrtemely comforable. I would like to look at the Seyshells next.

Thank you, it was a most enjoyable time. We were initially very worried about the construction issue but once we got there we were totally unaffected by it.
Beautiful spot, very friendly staff. I would however encourage then to provide a room service facility but on the whole we had a great time. Perhaps a few more motorised watersports or ferry systems to get off the island cheaply and see something else would be recommended as 7 days on the same island with similar programmes can get a bit tedious. We did do the Robinson excusion which was great too. Thanks for all your help

Hi Billie

The holiday was awesome. We had a fantastic time. Weather was hot albeit a few thundershowers that do not last longer than an hour.

The chalets are definitely the better accommodation at the resort. The breakfast is mediocre and can be improved. The gardens are well maintained at the resort. Service levels at the airport in Seychelles seriously needs to be improved. Upon arrival we waited more than an hour in the immigration queue - the main reason being slow, uninterested and unenthusiastic immigration officers. Needless to say upon departing the flight was delayed by an hour for the very same reason.

How are you. Arrived on Monday at 11.00pm.

The holiday was fantastic. I will send you pictures.

Only problem was that we were booked on the wing seat all the way and every bump or wind turbulence was felt so I have a little sore back.

Other than that it was very eye opening. Thank you. The staff at the resort were fantastic. It was very difficult to go to the prayer on that day 12th due to all the traffic.

We used a smaller temple nearby. We did visit the main temple a day earlier.

Thank you. Will speak to you again.

Hi Billie
Sorry, I only opened my Email today!
Sun Island is amazing. I have been to Mauritius , Seychelles (Praslin) but nothing compares with that Island. I used to walk around the Island every day about 1.5 hrs and along the way just jump in the water and start again. Low tide would be in one area and the other side with good sea waves and you also have the reef.
Marine life is in abundance. Kids went snorkeling every day, and I have never seen so many sting rays  especially along the reef.
We all just loved it.
Thanks

Dear Billie

Thanks for your email, we had a fantastic time in Mauritius. The Movenpick Resort is beautiful, the rooms are well appointed, the position is perfect and the grounds are lovely. The food at the Resort was also excellent. There were however 2 specific problems, which we plan to take up with the Movenpick Group and Thompsons. Firstly, what was offered in the Thompsons letter and what the hotel offered were two different things. For example the Thompsons letter specifies that lunch can be taken at the beach restaurant but the hotel said lunch for the all inclusive was at the buffet. I eventually put my foot down and insisted on eating at the beach restaurant, which was more favourable to us.
Secondly, in various areas there was extremely poor management. For example we battled to have our room made up timeously, there were often seating issues at the restaurant, maintenance for the room was useless etc. The hotel need to realise if they wish people to return this cannot be the case. It appears that they were extremely understaffed for the period - not our problem though.
Otherwise we had a fantastic time and hope to be in contact in the not too distant future about going again.
Regards
Warren and Yael Harth

Hallo Billie, ek gaan in Afrikaan vir jou skryf as dit reg is.

 

Om mee te begin die vakansie by Club Med was fantasties, ons sal defnitief weer gaan. Julle kan dit maar vir die mense vertel wat ek nou gaan tik:

 

Om mee te begin die  Club Med groep doen baie moeite om hul gaste gelukkig en besig te hou. Daar was nie n dag wat ons verveeld was nie. Met die aankom in Kuantan het die Club Med bus alreed vir ons gewag, en ons na die oord geneem. Met die aankom het n mens al die gesellige admosfeer van die oord beleef, met n hele span G.O 's wat jou inwag om jou welkom te heet.. 

Ons was na ons kamer geneem om te gaan uitpak, en n bietjie rus na die lang vlug.

 

Die ete was besonders gewees, Daar was ses lande se tradisionele kos om elke dag by elke ete van te kies. Dit was kos van China, Japan, Indonisia, Italia, Westers, en Frankryk.

Moet tog nie dink jy kan van elke land iets proe nie dit was net eenvoudig onmoontlik.

By die etes was die gewoonte dat n G.O by jou tafel kom aansit om saam met jou te eet.

Dit het ons nie gepla nie want dit was lekker om van elkeen te hoor by  watter Club Med hulle al gewerk het.

 

Na ete in die aand was daar n vertooning van so 30-45min lank waar hulle die Club se mense aan die gang gehou het met dans vetonings en selfs n sirkus vetoning en ook DVD's van die kinders se dag aktiwiteite. Daar word baie aandag gegee aan die kinders om hulle besig te hou in die dag.

 

Die plek waar die Club gelee is is fantasies, met n pragtige tuin en n 2de privaat strand wat ook n restaurant het, waar jy kan gaan eet as jy daar is, en n Bar op die strand.

 

In die aan na 1am as die Bar toemaak gaan die G.O's en verander die tema van die oord met die gevolg as jy die volgende oggend opstaan is die oor in n ander tema geklee.

 

Wat ons sal voorstel vind by die Club uit watse temas gaan vir die week wees dat die volgende vakansie gangers die tipe van klere kan saamvat as hul het.  Dit is maar soos alles swart een aand, of wit en pienk of blomme ens..

 

Daar was self Pool Partys in die aan die swembad waar jy met n lekker Cocktail jou dors kan les.

 

Wel ons het dit baie geniet, en Baie dankie vir julle uitstekende diens.

Ons sal beslis weer met jul besigheid doen.

Wat dalk van die Bahamas vir volgende jaar?

 

Groete Maarten/Lizelle.

The weather was a bit up and down, and it was also something to get use to paying in Euros! (It definitely is very expensive for South Africans).

The worst was to pay R70 for 2 cups of coffee, but we took it as part of the experience.

The hotel and service was to die for!! The only ‘critism’ I have is that their night entertainment was poor in comparison with the other 2 resorts I have been to.

Be assured that I will definitely make use of your service in the future.

We had a fabulous holiday, the organisation from the pick up at the airport and drop off coming back was great and the hotel was just great. We would definitely go back to Paradis.

Dear Alta
 
Our holiday was amazing. We had a really great time at the hotel. The staff at the hotel were welcoming, helpful and always friendly.
 
The hotel is clean and well kept and has the most beautiful views.
 
We did a bit of touring with the White Sands tour company and this was also a lovely experience.
 
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be going back to Mauritius for another holiday.
 
Thank you for all your assistance in making the booking etc, it is much appreciated.
 
Kind regards

Hi Alta,

 

We had a wonderful time at Blue Lagoon Hotel! The service and staff were great and it is a lovely hotel.  I do think the south of the island is underrated.  Friends told us the weather is bad on that side of the island and there is more to do in the North, but we hired a car for the day and drove around the island and I must say I find the South East coast exceptionally beautiful and unspoilt and much prefer it to the west coast.  Perhaps because we are used to the rural Wild Coast here and it is very much like that.

 

I think you could promote this hotel to other guests with a happy heart, they won’t be disappointed.  Being smaller than the other hotels the service is better and more personal.

 

Thompson’s were great, met us at the airport and sent a rep to see us the next day. The only thing we did not get was our folder with the necessary info, so we had to find out about tours and things for ourselves by asking hotel staff, where we could have known about them from day one.  Some one at Thompson’s slipped up a bit and never gave us a folder at the airport. But it was no train smash, we hired a car from the hotel, and chartered boats through the local’s etc, so it was a bit of an adventure!

 

Thank you again for all your help and the short time in which  you arranged everything!  You are a star!

 

Best Regards,

 

Vanessa Rutters

Hi

Thanks for enquiring. It was really amazing, Paradise!

We loved both LE Coco and La reserve.  The guides, Joseph at Le Coco, and Ron and Francis and Jacques? on the boat at La Reserve were wonderful.

I definitely would go back to Praslin. However, I think I would rather go for self-catering. We did not really enjoy the food, especially the dinner. it was a five course meal but not to our taste.I suppose they are going the French way, but it was not  palatable.
The prices were quite ridiculous. But what will forever stick in my mind is being charged for Sparkling water at La Reserve for a ridiculous amount of Euro 8-00! And for a small bottle! About +R100-00! Whereas a bottle of Sprite is  Euro 2-00.

We preferred the beach at Le Coco, where we swimming with lots of fish and the kids were snorkelling all the time.

And the  excursions at La Reserve were better. Complimentary tours on their boat amazing.

All in all, we thoroughly loved it. I just said forget about the food, and just take in the beauty of the surroundings and the different Islands and appreciate all that beauty.

Thanks Alta.

All the best

Adele

Hi Billie,

Thanks for the mail. We had an absolutely amazing time and were quite sad when our honeymoon came to an end.

When we arrived, they were overbooked however we went on a 3 day 2 night cruise on a yacht. Thereafter due to the “inconvenience” we were upgraded at no extra cost to a Jacuzzi Water Villa. It was simply stunning.

Thanks again for all the preparations, we had enough cash to enjoy the excursions they have on offer as well as shopping at the local markets. The only additional advice I would recommend to any traveller is to take the All Inclusive option. Even though we hardly drink alcohol, I highly recommend this option as the softdrinks and water outside that of the package is rather expensive and the All inclusive option is definitely value for money.

Of the North Male Atoll, I would recommend Meeru above all other islands. It maintains a rustic island atmosphere with quality service and hospitality. I would definitely choose Meeru again should I want a tropical paradise holiday.

Once again thanks, it was most enjoyable.

Best Regards

Gus Woolridge

Hi Alta

My wife and I had a great time in Mauritius. I particularly enjoyed the beach and the water activities, while my wife enjoyed the shopping and food. The travel arrangements i.e. flights and transfers, went well without any hiccups. The hotel is good enough to stay in as long as not much is expected of it. There were pockets of good service but generally it was average. The rooms were alright, nothing smashing but they do have the basics. The best thing for me about the hotel is its location, ‘better’ hotels in the area do not have direct access to the beach.

Although we had a cool time for various reasons I don’t think I’d go back, I’m actually contemplating Egypt for our next trip, but it was an exciting experience.

Thanks for all your help and effort in ensuring we have a great honeymoon, you did a good job! Until we engage again for another trip I hope life treats you well.

Dear Billy,

Thank you for your excellent work in organising our holiday so well.

All the travel arrangements worked well, and the Paradise Sun Hotel lived up to our full expectations. We found the Islands to be enchanting and the whole family was in agreement that this was the best holiday we had ever had.

A word in your ear, the drinks allowance per person for duty free import into Seychelles is two litres of hard liquor plus two litres of wine. Fortunately we were able to make our supplies last the week, but a longer holiday would have been costly! We were also very impressed that the hotel allowed us to drink our own wine at the dining table without charging corkage, and they should be complimented for this. To us this was an important concession as from a South African perspective the wines from the wine list at the table were fearfully expensive.

Please also convey these complimentary remarks to your colleagues at Seyunique.

With kindest regards from

Peter and Helen Brown and Family

Hi Alta,

Thanks for your email, in reply I can say your service was first rate.

On arrival at my wifes mothers in South Africa, I was pleased to see the tickets, the travel bags and insurance details. The wallet for the tickets was a nice touch and helped simplify things....we were married in South Africa as you know and there were a million and one things to sort out!

The transfers were all easy and it was good to be met at the airport on arrival.

The Sands Resort is in a spectacular setting and quite luxurious. The staff were attentive and very friendly and the facilities were great. A few tennis matches between my wife and myself !

The only comment we would make is that in our opinion, the food at dinner in the resturant did not match up to a 4 star hotel........ lacking in taste (apart from curried) and on one occasion we left after looking at the menu in the evening to travel to a resturant that was recommended by a Mauritian. My wife has extensive knowledge of the hospitality industry, having owned and run restaurants in Africa so we do have some experience of fine dining. 

We had a honeymoon dinner in the a la carte resturant in the hotel and that was of a different standard and far superior. It's the only negative comment I can make and as I say it just seemed unusual for a 4 star hotel not to offer matching cuisine. 

But the Sands Resort and Mauritius offered a relaxing time in a lovely setting  after a hectic few months!   

Mauritius left an impression on my wife and I and we were glad to have chosen such a place for our honeymoon.

Your superlative help and service was appreciated and so much better than you would receive here in the UK!

 I had confidence in your organisation from the start and would not hesitate in using you again to plan a trip.

Many thanks Alta,

Hi Alta,

The honeymoon was a huge success, thanks for following up.

We had an incredible time and will never forget it. The weather was a bit rainy for the first 2 days, but got warmer as the week on.

It was a little windy, but having 3 beach's to choose from, we could avoid it and just relax on the deck chairs by the beach.

The hotel and facilities was stunning, the room was amazing with a great view, the food was mouth watering (ate far too much food),

The pancakes and cocktails by the bar every afternoon, were great, and we made good use of it.

The all inclusive package is such a great idea, not having to worry about a single bill, being able to eat and drink as much as you like all day!!!

We were really well looked after and treated like royalty....a life style I wish I could live like forever.

We did a few non inclusive activities - Catamaran trip along the west coast and an under sea walk....breath taking both of them and highly recommended.

A bit pricy, but good value for money.  We also did most of the inclusive water sports and had tons of fun.

We have recommended this trip to everyone we know and we have started saving to go back there for our 5th wedding anniversary....hopefully sooner.

We had a little trouble with the trip back to the airport as one of the guests we were picking up was 45 minutes late and we were a little scared we might miss the flight back home. But in the end we made it, a little stressed (not what we wonted from de-stressing for 7 days) but all in all, this little hick-up, was not too bad. I would suggest to the tour bus company that if a person is not ready to be collected, they should be left behind.

We took loads of beautiful pictures and bought some great souvenirs so we will always remember the trip !!

Thanks for all your help and I will be in contact again to organise future holidays.

Kind regards

Steven and Natasha

Die hotel gee net nie baie inligting oor aktiwiteite wat by die hotel is nie.

Ons het drie dae later gehoor dat die “free drinks en snacks” wat in ons dokumentasie gemeld word, beskikbaar is by die “club house”. Ons het nie eers geweet waar is die “club house” nie (weg gesteek op die verste punt van die hotel terrein).

Kos was baie lekker (het gewig opgetel, hehehe).

Verder was die mense baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Ligging van die hotel is perfek as jy nie ‘n persoon is vir “shopping en jol”. Dit is lekker rustig en ons kon lekker ontspan.

Al is die hotel aan die Suide van die eiland, kan ‘n mens nogsteets met gemak ander aktiwiteite op die eiland bywoon.

Ons het alles ekstra deur Thompson Tours gereel (baie profesioneel en gerieflik, hulle kom sien jou by die hotel en bespreek alles wat beskikbaar is op die eiland).

Ons het op die Catamaran gegaan (‘n moet vir enige iemand wat Mauritius toe gaan), Quad biking en ‘n begeleide toer na die Noorde van die eiland.

Ons het ook drie ander honeymoon couples by die hotel ontmoet (2 van ZA en 1 van UK). Lekker saam gekuier en aktiwiteit inligting met mekaar gedeel.

Die weer was lekker maar ongelukkig is die ligging van die hotel van so ‘n aard dat ons meeste van die tyd wind op die strand gehad het.

Ons kon maklik nog ‘n week daar gebly het, net jammer die kostes tussen een week en twee is so groot verskil.

Weereens, baie dankie vir alles.

Wayne en Nikki Naudé
