We are off to Barbados again in March, my 22nd visit.
Happy to have a chat if of interest, though I would recommend not going AI.
Any hotels would be appreciated. Have already stayed at The Sugar Bay and The House

Stayed in sugar bay but only because BE fecked up and we got AI accommodation for less than the price of flights.
It’s sister hotel Bougainville does room only and is lovely, southern palms and infinity on the beach are both great too but not at the level of Bougainvillea.

Lions Dive Curaçao (part of the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean) Wonderful resort :thumbsup:
 
Honestly, wouldn’t promote Mauritius. It’s lovely but if you’re well travelled you probably won’t be blown away. Great value tho. Maldives for us every day. We’ve also been to Barbados and St Lucia… would recommend the latter… Rendezvous in the north of the island. We took a bus but if we went back we’d take an internal helicopter flight as airfield is next to it (it’s not busy!).
We are about to embark on a month in New Zealand, 5 years in the planning (covid scuppered plans) so watch this space on possibilities.
 
We are off on a Cruise middle of April for a month flying to Sydney for three nights the on the ship taking in Auckland the French Polynesia (Bora Bora Tahiti Moreno) finishing off in Honolulu for four days with a whole day in Pearl Harbour can’t wait :thumbsup:

We were married 28 years ago at The Rendezvous but it's called something else now. Suppose I could go back and check if it still legal?

Sounds too expensive for us and besides, at 69, not old enough for a cruise just yet :poke:

You enjoy what sounds like a fantastic trip. :thumbsup:

Small world - I got married in 2003 at the Belle Mare Plage. Let me know if it isn't still legal!
 
We went back to Sandals Grande in 2004 and we met up with the minister who married us doing a wedding there.

She was a great old girl, full on baptist, full service talking about how we should have deep love in and out of the bedroom, all in 90 degree heat wearing a Tux. Worth it for the wedding photos though. They don't look real.
 
My mother is from Mauritius been a quite a few times, used to enjoy it back then. One thing I did was swim out in the Ocean beyond the reef with a pod of Dolphins, we were with some locals who were friends of my Uncle

Since retirement we love to cruise and see multiple places the Celebrity Cruise line is brilliant with no kids :thumbsup:

Holiday update. In response to my request for recommendations we eventually went to Mauritius but this year following up on Inkeys recommendation and on Saturday we will be lounging by our infinity pool in our hillside pool villa at the Pimalai on Koh Lanta.

Cheers Inkey for the recommendation, all the feedback on Tripadvisor is superb and it’s a very balmy 32c at the moment.
 
Can’t see any Zeds from our villa but the view is not bad😎

Cheers again Inkeys for the recommendation👍IMG_0809.jpeg
