Beautiful Overwater Villas in the Maldives

Hey Faye,

Sent you a bunch of photos. The Maldives at Soneva Gili is amazing. The villa is huge with a top roof deck and front deck right by the water. It even has a planked walk way to the shower with water below and you can see marine life going by. There was so much room to lounge around that one can stay in all week. Also the lagoon is very shallow and teeming with marine life and all sorts of tropical fish so you do not need to go far to snorkel.
The spa is fantastic but we were slightly peeved that they kept saying our massages were complementary and so we can only reserve slots no later than 3 pm unless we upgrade, which we did. We also did not go for the sunset cruise. On the other hand service was great and we got a Girl Friday who was always on hand to make sure we are doing fine. Food is great and the portion enormous so going half board was a good idea.

The resort was pretty full when we arrived but it definitely did not feel like it. We hardly saw any other guests while biking around or snorkeling at different locations. All in all we loved it and definitely recommend it to all our friends and family. All your clients should be extremely happy with Soneva Gili if they are willing to venture to Asia. One last thing they did not have the room we wanted but I believe we got a even better room in exchange. And as soon as I asked about room location the Girl Friday immediately told me they know I asked for a specific room but they could not accomodate me this time but got me a great room at another jetty.
Maldives is extremely beautiful and this resort has the right balance of everything to make it a great location.

Dream Honeymoon in Tahiti

Faye should be nominated the best travel agent in the world!

With patience of a saint when I changed my mind a thousand times on the dates and the location I wanted, to her resourcefulness in finding and securing the very best deals for us, to her quick responsiveness to my thousand emails and phone calls, her sensitivity, humor and kindness to my frantic rush to secure our honeymoon, Faye worked a miracle on the very, very limited budget my fiancé and I had, and had us upgraded to the very best overwater bungalow lagoon with VIP status, in order to make our dream honeymoon in Tahiti come true! If this isn’t a happily ever after ending, I don’t know what is!I'll send a photo of us in our overwater bungalow soon!

Thanks again!

Lovely Likuliku Lagoon Vacation

Sue,

It was perfect! You guys did an amazing job, all of the little details were worked out, connections were seamless, and the experience was first rate. LikuLiku is incredible, and the Overwater Bungalow sits right on top of a beautiful coral reef, really amazing. Thanks for everything, happy to provide you guys with a strong recommendation.

Best regards,

Fabulous Tahiti Vacation

Dear Lori,

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that our trip was absolutely wonderful and we appreciate all your work in getting every little detailed taken care of. It was a truly fabulous vacation and not a single detail was overlooked and we couldn't have asked for a better itinerary or accommodations. The only "hitch" we could even point out was that our Lagoon room view was not available for early check in at 4:30am when we arrived in Tahiti so they upgraded us to an overwater bungalow with early check-in. (boo-hoo). We had a wonderful 25th anniversary trip and would highly recommend you to anyone who was considering taking this trip in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us to make this dream trip come true.

P.S. NOW I know what Ia Orana means.......,

With much appreciation,

Tahiti & Fiji Group Trip

Dear Lori,

We're home and unpacked but still dreaming of turquoise water and tropical fish.
All aspects of our trip went according to plan - plane flights, accommodations, meals. It was all wonderful.
Ray and Ed did the channel float at Kia Ora, and we all went to Bird's Island at Tikehau and on the fishing picnic at Manihi. We rode bicycles, played pool and putt putt golf, and were in and out of pools and the ocean every day. We also all gained weight.
At Manihi, we were given an upgrade to a deluxe over water bungalow with air conditioning which was great since that was the warmest spot. The other bungalows also had air conditioning.

Kia Ora had the largest, most convenient units and excellent food. Tikehau also had excellent food and very unique bungalows. Manihi had the greatest variety of fish, and the over water bungalows were a wonderful experience. The dining room at XX seemed to be run by native people. The food was fine, but there were limited choices, and the service was terribly slow. At all resorts, the service was gracious.
We all appreciate the excellent job you did in arranging our trip and dealing with any issues that arose. I hope we will have an opportunity to have you plan more vacations for us in the future, and you are part of our Fiji and French Polynesia experience.

Mahalo and maruru,

Luxury Tahiti Honeymoon

Ia Orana McCoy Travel!

Vicki and I are back from our 10 day sojourn in South Pacific paradise, and I must say, Sue Michailidis planned our trip flawlessly. A day in Tahiti was sufficient as Vicki and I had just enough time to take a bus into Papeete and see its major sites. Of course, to be quite honest - for anyone reading this review - Papeete, in my opinion, wasn’t too dissimilar to a typical port of call with any major cruise line. I remember Cozumel looking very similar. So, in that regard, it wasn’t quite as exotic as I’d expected. But again, it’s the capital of Tahiti, so one must expect the appeal to tourism. Being only 8-10 miles from the town center, we stayed at the Intercontinental Resort, which had a terrific view of Moorea – our next stop.

Moorea, I think, was the friendliest of the three islands we'd visited. We stayed at the Pearl Resort - only a five minute walk from a grocery and a five minute drive from the idyllic Cook’s Bay. To anyone considering the French Polynesia as a future destination, I’d highly recommend renting a car or scooter. The island is less than fifty miles around, so the drive, with no stops, is a measly two hours. Of course, for the curious tourist, you’ll probably want to stop at Cook’s Bay, Jus De Fruits, the Lookout, Temae Beach, and perhaps some various Marae (ancient temples), which might push your trip back to six to eight hours. Of all the culinary stops we visited (La Mahogany and Te Honu Iti being two of the more distinguished places) our favorite was Rudy’s, where the shrimp curry was worth the price you pay (everything in the French Polynesia is expensive, so it’s nice to get food that tastes expensive. In reality, Rudy’s is no more expensive than the various other restaurants on the island). For lunch, we walked to Chez Luciano for some pizza. It was a reasonable priced meal, and the chef was quite entertaining as he would screech like a cat on occasion. One restaurant we didn’t try was Alfredo’s; our concierge advised against it, claiming that she’d received quite a bit of negative feedback about it, so Vicki and I took her word on it. Why shell out the money for bad food, right? And at Te honu Iti, I got to feed the stingrays, so I'd also recommend at least one trip there. One downside to all the good restaurants is that they are quickly dwindling. I had a 2007 printout of the Lonely Planet, and many of the restaurants listed are no longer in business.

Upon leaving Moorea, Vicki and I didn’t think it could get any better. The Moorea Pearl Resort had upgraded us, free of charge, to a premium overwater bungalow, so neither of us could have imagined any room for improvement; but, as Sue had so meticulously incorporated, Bora Bora would be all that and more; thus, she made it our last stop. Once again, the Pearl Resort upgraded us to a premium overwater bungalow, only this time, the view was nearly inconceivable. We were in bungalow 44, which was a direct view of the main island and its two peaks, an uninhibited view yielding the vast expanse of turquoise water and deep blue skies. I nearly fainted (if fainting weren’t so “dainty,” I might have!). Being that the resort was on a private motu, I was quite pleased that Sue had suggested the half board meal plan, which included breakfast and the three course dinners. We did, however, go into town to try the pre-eminent Bloody Mary’s; although, neither of us was as impressed as we’d hoped to be. The setting, of course, is original with sandy floors and coconut tables and stools – and even the food was good – but to describe it as a nearly god-like destination is a bit over the top in my opinion.

For the honeymooners out there, I’d suggest a private and professional photoshoot. Since it’s only the two of you, it’s often difficult getting pictures with both of you in them. Talk to your resort’s excursion desk to get the details. Vicki and I spent around 22000 pacific francs for forty pictures, and we were extremely pleased with them.

In short, it may be trying times economically, and although I was a little skittish shelling out the money for it, I’m glad I did. It’s not often a middle-class guy like me could say a vacation of that price was truly worth the money, but in this case – and this is just between you and me – I might have paid more.

Thanks again for the superb trip, or as they say in Tahiti, “Maururuu!”

Best wishes,
