AUGUST 2011
Hi there Liz
Thank you for organizing our wonderful 'fuss free' first holiday away with the children. All our flights were fab - no delays (or sudden changes to) and minimum waiting around in airports. Air Pacific were definitely no frills and didn't offer much for children flying ie. individual telly entertainment but for 3 hours it was fine.
Plantation Island was great! Weather a bit overcast and wet the first couple of days but the last few days were as we expected - spectacular ! What a lovely sheltered beach for the kids and they just loved the pools. Didnt really use the kids club - ours just were happy swimming although after tea they did join in with the kids entertainment but were also happy to play on the beach while we ate our dinner.
Thought the resturant staff worked really hard to get the huge number of people through and seated for each sitting. No mean feat!! The food was well presented and plentiful (not gourmet or exotic - but we thought good value for what we had paid for in our meal plans). The staff were friendly and they definitely LOVE children!! Very sweet to see their tolerance and patience with them.
I was pleasantly surprised with our accommodation. The garden bures were really spacious and clean and a great bathroom. Ours was in a great spot - right beside the mini golf and tennis court, and close to the beach but away from the noisey resturant etc. I thought they were great and cleaned daily etc..
So we came home feeling rested and inspired for more holidays away!! So thank you very much for all your organizing - it certainly was value for money and the kids really had such a fun time and lovely to spend uninterrupted time with them and the other family we travelled with.
Kind regards
Janine, Rua, Ella and Sam
