Poste de Flacq

Nothing quite went right unable to check our luggage through, creating stress of connecting with our flight. 14.5 hours later Dubai lounge. Transported from the airport to our hotel in a small car, uncomfortable for four. Our luggage barely fitted, in fact it didn't and my hand luggage remained in the carpark. When you pay a fortune per night ($1300) you learn quickly what that means. The hotel found my bag and organised it into a taxi to the hotel.

'The One and Only' hotel is beautiful on a beautiful island. The hotel entrance is spectacular, look carefully and you can see part of the orb reflected in the marble floor. Up early to a sumptuous breakfast spread over three rooms. Our table on the lawn overlooks the ocean. We had a long, luxurious breakfast.

The views from everywhere are quite fantastic. Swimming is available in the ocean or the hotel pool. Everything about this place says luxury. There are carefully sculpted gardens as if created by nature with viewing points and wild life, sadly not native. We walk along the beach and enjoy the sunshine. Great to have a day to recover in such a beautiful place.Read more
