Sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here this week! It been one of those weeks ❤️

As you may have heard, there’s been major disruption this week due to air traffic control issues, and sadly, some of my lovely clients were caught up in it.

On Tuesday evening, I was still in the office at midnight helping clients whose flights had been seriously disrupted. Their dream holiday to Borneo was looking like it might not happen at all. 😔✈️

But we didn’t give up!

By 5pm the following day, we had managed to sort new flights, and they were on their way to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime! 🌴✨
This is alongside of doing lots of lovely enquiries bookings as usual.

And this is exactly why people choose to book with me.

It’s not just about finding and booking your holiday. It’s about having someone there when things go wrong — someone who knows you, understands your trip and will go the extra mile to find a solution.

For me, it’s all about personal, individual service and getting the best possible outcome for my clients. ❤️

That’s the extra value I offer — and it’s something you really appreciate when the unexpected happens.

I love Mauritius, in fact I'm going again in May !
It's an island I recommend to all my families, its perfect in our summer as uts not too hot and low season for price.

Mauritius with the kids?  

A few tips before you go... 
🐢 Don't spend every day on the beach. Discover giant tortoises at La Vanille and the colourful Seven Coloured Earths of Chamarel. 

🏖️ Choose a resort with calm lagoons for little swimmers. Victoria Beachcomber and Trou aux Biches Beachcomber are great picks,
with soft sand and shallow waters. my clients love it here

👟 Pack water shoes. They make exploring coral-fringed lagoons much more comfortable. 

🐠 Add a glass-bottom boat trip to your itinerary. When staying at a Beachcomber resort, glass-bottom boat experiences are complimentary. 

🚗 Mauritius is surprisingly easy to explore, with short transfer times and plenty of family-friendly experiences across the island. 

Save this for your next family escape
