Come with me to the @grecoteldamadama in Rhodes…🇬🇷
I was ‘on location’ last weekend to check out this gorgeous resort - perfect for couples and families! Here are my highlights;
🇬🇷 Great location only 20 minutes from the airport and Rhodes Old Town in one direction and Lindos in the other
🇬🇷 Superb beach bar and Greek restaurant - we whiled away a lot of our time here
🇬🇷 Kids will love the on-site slides, playroom, evening entertainment and ice cream/crepes on demand as part of the all-inclusive
🇬🇷 Proper mattress-esque comfy sunbeds
🇬🇷 A la carte restaurants - we all love a buffet but great to order from a menu too!
🇬🇷 Spacious and contemporary family bungalows and rooms with balconies
🇬🇷 Spa area is divine!
Thank you to all the staff at Grecotel Hotels & Resorts for your superb hospitality as always!

Ski, ski ski! ❄️
I have just returned from an amazing short ski break with @inghamsholidays in Courchevel, France! ⛷
We stayed in @fahrenheitsevencourchevel which was slap bang on the slopes in Courchevel 1650 - a modern hotel with stunning rooms and delicious food.
Taken around the 3 Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel & Val Thorens) with @newgen_ski_instructors who were brilliant considering the ski conditions - loads of local knowledge, skiing technique tips and just generally fun to be around! 🎿
The 3 valleys are HUGE so if you want to make the most of your skiing then this is the place to be. Great for all levels of skiing as there is such a wide range of blues, reds and blacks if that’s your vibe!! Plus great areas for kids to learn/enjoy too 🐧
If you’re looking at your next ski holiday for the 22/23 season then let me know if I can help…👩🏻💻
Trou Aux Biches, Mauritius 🇲🇺
What I loved about this resort was the choice of accommodation. Depending on your party size of course but it is luxury all-suite accommodation;
⭐️ Junior Suites - First floor with a large balcony overlooking the tropical gardens and pool
⭐️ Tropical Junior Suites - same as above but slightly larger with the outdoor shower and ground floor option
⭐️ 2-bed Family Suite - for up to 2 adults and 3 kids
⭐️ Beachfront Suite with Pool - Ocean views, outdoor shower, private terrace and plunge pool!
⭐️ Beachfront Senior Suites with Pool - these are 1st floor so giving the optimum ocean view with private stairs down to your own private pool (see video!)
⭐️ Pool villas - each has its own pool, decking, bbq, private garden, kitchen and 2 or 3 bedrooms with ensuite. You also have a maid/personal butler if you so wish!
The resort itself is perfect for couples and families who want a luxurious stay.
Again, it’s well located in the North-west coast and has the epic white sand beach and in close proximity to Grand Baie and Port Louis
This resort has;
🦐 6 restaurants
🧖♀️ Spa
🍽 B&B/Half Board/All-inclusive

2021, completed it mate! 😎
Pembrokeshire, Cambridge, Norfolk, York, Greece, Skye and Spain…I can’t complain!
What’s been your 2021 travel highlight?
Coral Beach, Isle of Skye📍
I’m working on a customer enquiry for their family October Half Term break heading up to Scotland and it reminded me of this beaut.
Coral Beach is located in the north of Skye, just a 10 minute single track drive from Dunvegan
The walk to the beach is dead easy along a farm track and will take approx. 25 minutes to reach🚶🏻♀️
The beach is made from crushed white coral that makes the water look unreal with the gorgeous tropical blue tones. As you can see, even on a cloudy day it was beautiful!
A wee trek up the hill gave us these glorious views too! One not to miss! 👀

Skopelos and Skiathos - Top 10 Travel insights…
2-weeks in Skopelos and Skiathos in 30 seconds…don’t blink!
Here’s my top 🔟 of the 2 islands;
🏨 Hotel - the gorgeous @adrinahotelsskopelos; right on the beach with the most stunning of views, it even had an outdoor lift to help ease the calves and a sister hotel with a delicious Taverna
🚤 Boat Trip - we hired a boat for the day from @axisboatrentals in Skopelos which took us to some beaches which can only be accessed by boat, plus caves galore - the benefit of hiring a small boat meant that we drove INTO the caves! Mind blowing and somewhat nerve racking! 😬
🏝Hovolo Beach - un-bloody-believable! The clearest water, the trees lining the beach…just unreal!
🌯 Skopelos Town - for the best gyros EVER! It was insane and we kept talking about it every time we ate…I had to take a break halfway through in order to finish it. There was no way I was leaving any of it!
✈️ @the_mylos Taverna in Skiathos - a proper Greek Taverna to be visited on a busy airport day so you can watch the planes come in over your head! Amazing! Skiathos airport has Europe’s shortest runway, so the brakes go on pretty quickly when landing! 🛬
☕️ Fancy a coffee/glass of Rosé with a view?! Head to @bourtzi.skiathos for also one of the best toilet hand washing views EVER! Stunning!
🍕 If you want to have a night off from Greek mezze (I know, I know but we did have 14-nights!!) then head up into the hills to @panorama_restaurant_pizza - epic views and pizza to boot!
✅TIP - make sure you pre-book a balcony table 😍
🌊 Koukounaries Beach - another day, another beach but this one has the softest sand and the sparkliest of waters, none of my photos did it justice but it’s a must do!
🍽 For a proper treat for the eyes and the belly, head to @windmill_skiathos - it’s an Instagrammers dream for photos and the food melts in your mouth. We headed here for our last night and it more than delivered!
🚌 Use public transport on Skiathos - they are
Boat trip, baby!
Exploring the caves and jellyfish of Skopelos. Minds blown when our skipper took the boat INTO the cave…I breathed in, which I’m pretty sure helped…😬😆

International travel has RESTARTED!
It's time to get back out there - I can help you get the sun on your face and a cold beer in your hand;
🧡 International Travel has restarted!
💚 Currently 12 countries on the Green list but 4 you can realistically travel to - Jersey, Iceland, Madeira & Portugal
💛 Every destination has different requirements/guidelines and I know how adhere to them
💙 Testing - Packages are available for adults and children aged 11 and over and are MUCH cheaper than the extortionate prices from last year...!
💜 Yes, there's mask wearing, but much the same as we're used to in the UK
❤ This is the CURRENT situation and is subject to change (of course!)
🙋🏻♀️ I'm here to help you with advice/guidance and can walk you through all the different scenarios
