Rach & Nic on the plane

On October 31st 2010, we checked into London Gatwick for what was to be our first trip to the Maldives. We were greeted by our Kuoni Representatives Martyn, Katharina and Tracy. We were very excited as we were lucky enough to visit 6 islands on our trip. As 7.30pm arrived we boarded our Monarch Airlines flights to Male, which approximately took 11 hours. This was the last flight operated by Monarch Airlines to the Maldives. continue reading…

My second trip to the beautiful Caribbean island of Jamaica provided me with what turned out to be an immensely unique experience; not only would I be presented with the opportunity of sampling the delights of the world famous Sandals resorts, but as an added bonus I would then go on to spend a further week in the luxurious company of Secrets.

What made this experience so particularly unique is that Sandals Whitehouse is widely regarded to represent the ‘traditional Caribbean’ whereas Secrets Wild Orchid very much so gives an insight into the modern and contemporary approach that Jamaica is now moving towards. So not only would I be guaranteed to be spending two weeks in what is quintessentially paradise, but given an ideal opportunity to compare and contrast what these 5* resorts (adults only) have to offer.

On the 4th November 2009, I took a short domestic flight from Manchester airport to London Gatwick, I was very nervous but looking forward to what the next 5 days had in store!

When I arrived at Gatwick airport on a damp, cold November morning, I was feeling nervous but also very excited about what the next few days had in store, as this was my first trip to Jamaica. It was a pleasant surprise to be upgraded to World traveler plus on the flight, which made 9 hour journey to Kingston a very relaxing and comfortable experience. The long transfer from the airport gave me the opportunity to see the sights of the lush green tropical landscape that Jamaica has to offer. When we arrived at Breezes Montego Bay Hotel we were greeted by the friendly staff and were soon in our rooms to settle down for a very welcome sleep. continue reading…
