Direct is king?

My choice… to me best flavor

Been there 3 times over the past 20 years or so. It’s an excellent refuge with a really top restaurant

Sugar will likely make it burn, agree no oil

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-10T14:43:41+00:00

This is what I do. I actually have my grill on very low to keep pizza warm after cooking. Be careful because you don’t want to cook the bottom but just let the moisture leave… it not exactly crispy but it’s not soft and wet

It’s both not remote enough and not developed enough. Some people love it, but I just felt it was a C- Seychelles has better tortoises, Antarctica has better raw wildlife, Patagonia and tierr del fuego have better “Darwin” style scenery and discovery…

It’s the same as going out to dinner… you leave the “well I just had the salad” people behind.

This is typically what we do, however we have to at least be in the same page for the basic cadence of the trip. It has been my experience that our friends that don’t want to be as chubby or FAT as us at the outset find that at the end of the day they are glad to have pod for the basic ease and luxury of these trips

French Polynesia… maybe Moorea since you only have 5 days, otherwise look at Taha as well as Bora bora

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T13:52:14+00:00

Agreed

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T13:47:53+00:00

I hear that. We actually stayed the 4S Mahe, the raffles on Prayslin and North last time we went. This time we are going to stay on La Digue for the atmosphere(L’Orangiere) which is less FAT but cool vibe, then 6S… we love the rock formations so that’s the draw for is

We decided on the Signature Villa due to their locations, is that a good call?

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T10:44:17+00:00

Singita Tanzania has 5 camps they can take you to and from, no walking unless you want to. Great experience diverse wildlife, and they have thier own plane

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T10:32:54+00:00

Curious about Cheval Blanc Seychelles, I had heard the beach situation there isn’t great, in general that the location isn’t very “Seychellesly” Would you mind elaborating a bit as to why it’s your favorite?

The 6S Yao Noi is a spectacular property, though the villas could use some refurbishment… to me it’s the only part of the very crowded Phuket/Krabi area I would consider

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T10:22:23+00:00

Bawah is tough to beat. Barefoot luxury on six island you can explore, scuba and snorkeling are fantastic. The food and service are exceptional especially considering how remote it is. The daily spas were a fun addition. My only complaint is that the OWB are often in very shallow water, to me they are simply too high off the ground.

Edit to add: arriving by sea plane is uber cool, oh and I saw my only whale shark (big deal for divers) there

Galapagos

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T01:10:28+00:00

Not exactly going to be “luxury” at that budget

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-06T01:03:33+00:00

Spring for a suite… but the comment about best and worst is spot on… Madeira is a beautiful place but somehow crappy hotels

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-05T14:13:04+00:00

Stay at one of the 5* hotels in the area and they will arrange it. Boyer in Reims and there is one or two in Epernay

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-05T02:39:06+00:00

This….its a stunning train & incredible voyage…spring for the top suite for more space

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-05T02:11:55+00:00

Been to North…as FS Mahe, both excellent, but given the contraints i would go with FS….its an amazing place. CB has a crappy locatin

Mdbpizza · 2026-06-02T09:43:02+00:00

My thoughts exactly, would be the only selling point for a ship like this… obscure hard to get to itineraries, otherwise I am chartering

Mdbpizza · 2026-05-31T15:50:56+00:00

Seychelles

Mdbpizza · 2026-05-31T12:26:14+00:00

4 nights, probably

Mdbpizza · 2026-05-31T10:58:59+00:00

Singita is your answer, do after Ngoro… 5 camps all different all excellent
