Reason for choosing this destination:

We both were after a natural place where we could relax. The initial idea was to visit Sri Lanka. The choice was then between Mauritius, Seychelles and Maldives. We decided to go for Mauritius after browsing the internet.

How was the weather?

The weather in Mauritius was excellent - sunny but not too hot with occasional one-minute showers.  The heat in Dubai was unbearable!

Where have you stayed?

We stayed in Merville Beach Hotel in Mauritius which we strongly recommend. The service and ambience are excellent.  In Dubai we stayed at Ramada Continental.

What did you do?

In Mauritius we were lucky enough to meet a friendly taxi driver on our first day. He took us all around the interesting places and even went to his house for tea! We visited Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens, Casela Bird Park, Le Vanille Crocodile Park, the Rochester Falls, a tea factory, Hindu Temples, beaches etc.  We've also been quad biking and fishing.

The best parts?

Mauritius - The most memorable experience was the underseawalk in Grand Baie - you wear a big helmet and actually walk in the sea and feed the fish. Should not be missed! We shall never forget the lobster night at the hotel.

Dubai - Shopping was fantastic!  We enjoyed a city and a beach tour in a tourist double decker although it was terribly hot.

Any regrets?

None!

Any suggestions you would like to pass on to other couples visiting the same destination?

Before departing spend a lot of time looking for places of interest on the internet.

What's the suggested budget for a similar trip?

Lm2000 + spending money (esp in Dubai!)
