"Cian Thanks for your email. We had a great time at Trou Aux Biches. It is an absolutely fantastic 5 star hotel located on an amazing beach. In particular, we thought: - the dive team were superb, very friendly and re-assuring and totally professional - the indian restaurant and the head waiter were outstanding - the gym was fantastic, an array of top quality equipment - as were the rooms and room cleaning staff excellent - and one evening when we had an issue with room locks, the manager ( Michel I think ) and his No 2 ( Fatima I think ) sorted this quickly and in return laid on a terrific meal for us. So all positive."

"Hi Linda We had a really fantastic week at le Cannonier. Thank you so much for organising everything so well, especially the addition of another person to our group of 8 on the day before we left! The resort is beautiful, the food excellent, and our room had the most gorgeous view through the gardens to the sea. We were lucky enough to visit 3 other resorts on the island for business. All three were 5 star, yet the setting and layout and beauty of le Cannonier was easily equal to any of them. Le Cannonier is fairly unusual in that there are 3 beach areas and snorkelling is possible from all of them. I’ve visited Mauritius many times and would definitely rate Le Cannonier as my favourite resort. (The other good point is that it is situated in the North which generally has better weather than the east or south, where there is a greater chance of rain and wind)."

"Dear Cian Just wanted to report back. We had a lovely time! Everything went smoothly. The airport was quite empty when we got to Mauritius – so we could exchange our money easily and the Mautourco people were waiting for us. Le Canonnier is a beautiful hotel – very French – we nearly did not hear any English – but that did not matter at all. Also a lot of families with small children. The children stayed mostly at the swimming pools – so we had the sea nearly to ourselves. We had quite a lot of rain, but luckily the sun came out every time. We only had one day that it was rainy the whole day – and on that day I went snorkeling before it started raining. The boat had just left, when it started raining softly – but the water was still clear and we saw quite a lot of fish. From a snorkeling point of view, the sea in front of the hotel does not have a lot of fish, but luckily the boat took us behind the reef most days (when the sea allowed) – and there we saw a big variety and some nice coral as well. The room was quite small compared to Le Victoria, but it was tasteful and had everything we needed – even a balcony! The food was TOO MUCH! What a variety! To the end of the holiday we ate less and less …….. The drinks were quite expensive – but that we knew beforehand. We later on bought bottled water from the supermarket down the road from the hotel. I even bought a nice white dress there! (Photo attached). All in all we had a wonderful time. Thank you for helping to make this a very special bonding moment for the YaYa sisters. And also thank you for answering all my questions so patiently and for making this an unforgettable trip. I will recommend your services to everyone."

"Hi Salome I'd like to thank you for a really awesome holiday in Zanzibar. Your staff there were excellent; Bekka who collected us from the airport, Jefferson at the office who helped us convert a transfer to include a tour on route and Salom who took us on the Spice Tour on route from Langi Langi to Mtoni Marine, as well as on a Stonetown tour. Langi Langi was also fantastic, and highly recommended. Best wishes Jacques"

"Hi Salome Compliments and best wishes for the new year! On behalf of our group, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to you for the wonderful and exciting package that you organized for us for our Zanzibar holiday. The experience we had over there was definitely a life changing one and I can say this with conviction that we will cherish the experience for the rest of our lives. We were extremely satisfied with all arrangements and all the logistics . The treatment afforded to us at Uroa Bay resort was out of this world, the management and staff members were very kind, accommodative and extremely friendly with us. We are really grateful and thankful to them for making our stay over there such a pleasant experience. They have set a benchmark and a standard that I believe would extremely be difficult to match. Thank you so much for putting this together for the group and I believe that this would be one of the many interactions that we still going to have with you and your agency going forward. Kind Regards, Sipho M."

"Zanzibar was an amazing experience with so many many things to enjoy. The people were very friendly and helpful. The beach boys were a bit annoying but it was all part of the experince and they seemed to be harmless. The food was absolutely amazing but their portions are alot smaller than ours. (I guess thats why they are all skiiny :) The tour to prison island and to Stone Town was an unforgettable experience that cannot be missed. It would have been nice to get a list of recommended places to go to as we went to a bar and there were prostitutes and druggies there so just a list of where to go or where not to go would have been nice. All in all is was an amazing experience and we will definitely go back. Sele (The rusta chef) the manager of Langi Langi gave us an amazing welcome and he really made us feel comfortable. We will always remember him and the great service he gave us. Thanks for everything!!"

"Dear Cian Mauritius: all 5 of us were blown away. It was certainly worth every cent we spent and we didn't feel for a moment that we didn't get our money's worth. The Junior rooms your recommended and booked were fantastic and the resort a perfect balance between being exclusive and fun. Glad we didn't go to Grand Baie! The 8 restaurants we could choose from made supper very interesting and fun."

"Hi, We enjoyed the Zanzibar trip a lot it was an experience. The weather is fantastic, warm, windy, beautiful clean beach and warm sea. Entertainment at the resort are the daily tours other than that nothing else except walking along the beach, riding bicycle or watching all the Kite surfers. If you are a Kite surfer Cristal is the perfect spot. Ensure that you find out about the card facilities that they use, Cristal does not use American Express but Master Card and Visa only. If you do not know that it can have a huge impact on you holiday budget."

"Hi Salome, Overall we had a truly lovely holiday and wish to thank you for your excellent service. Your company was a pleasure to deal with and we will certainly continue going forward for our next holiday’s! Just some of our personal findings for our Zanzibar holiday. The hotel was not in our view 5 or 4 star quality as we understand it in SA and for that we found the rates to be extremely overpriced even considering high season. We felt we overpaid by a high margin. The location was super though. Value for money is definitely more on the side of the normal season rates. The food was also not the greatest. We understand, given our findings of the country, that it is very rural hence the choices and preparation of the food was sub-standard. Full board was not the best choice in hindsight as we were doing lots of excursions and hardly drank much either! They tried very hard though. The staff were all extremely helpful and polite even given some of the language barriers. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and we received the room I originally asked for – thank you very much. The transfers were timeous and the the driver was extremely helpful and knowledge-able. Thank you once again. Fiona"
