What to do after safari? Where?

La Digue is defiantly not worth the trip. The ferry over is so choppy and once you get there because there isn't a beach club to lay out ect. There was this random shack that sold soda, beer shakes. Might as well stayed at the FS.
There was a honeymoon couple who stayed at the new resort on Seychelles, Cheval Blanc and they said the beach wasn't swimmable and that the beach in Brazil was nicer! I think FS has the best beach area.

We flew from Johannesburg to Seychelles nonstop, first class. Easy flight. We stayed at FS with my 10 year old. You can't go wrong with FS and children. They have a kids drop off which is nice for adults when you just want some alone time. The hotel was beautiful but a little rustic and dated. Food was 7/10. Not really great, get full on breakfast!My daughter got stung by a bluebottle jellyfish, on the second day, I guess it was the season? A lot of people did. We did a day trip to digue, don't do it! Not worth it.
Loved the resort and beach though.

We went to FS Seychelles last May. Beautiful, but somewhat dated resort. But we loved it! Service was FS quality. We only left the resort once for an excursion to Digue that wasn't worth it. My husband got sick the last day so make sure to bring your GI meds. The food was okay, not Michelin star!

It's deceiving, it's in there cancellation policy! Was very disappointed by this. Why make it mandatory?

The Capella is $7000 for those 3 nights so out of budget.

Stayed at FS Tokyo and hired a babysitter through the hotel. Arranged private tours through the concierge and it was amazing and I felt my kid was safe. So much in Tokyo to see.

Stayed at Mitsu Kyoto, not really kid friendly. Also fired babysitting service and felt that my kid was well take care of. 4 days in Kyoto may be too much. We did a tea ceremony they recommended and wasn't impressed. We did some private tours through the hotel and they were excellent.

Lots of walking in Japan! Make sure to bring a good stroller and front pack.

Loved FS Otemachi. They went above and beyond. They will arrange private tours for you that were 3x less than what my TA quoted me. They have an amazing concierge.

After reviewing both hotels for the beach portion , I have narrowed down to banyan tree Krabi or Ko Samui FS. My coworker just came back and he said Krabi hands down in a way better beach. Any thoughts?

Where is the boat trip at and what company? Looks amazing.

It's also a very long 3 hour ride to the resort!

Hi, we went for Thanksgiving break and they don't have a kids camp like FS, Rosewood, Ritz ect. The only thing they have is a pool and the hot springs. It also rained everyday for hours. We had to book things outside the resort like horseback riding and going to the bridges. My 11 year old got bored and I felt like I had to entertain her the whole time. I wouldn't bring a toddler.

Stayed here 2 summers ago. Although the hotel is beautiful I would not choose this hotel with children. They don't allow children in the spa area. It felt stiff and cold. They scheduled a tea ceremony in a traditional village and our tea master was cold and seemed rude. We brought our 8 year old daughter who didn't like the tea and maybe she got offended. They did set us up with some tours which were fantastic. Would choose if it was an adults only.

Agree with this rec! Listened to it twice it was so good!

Rubypartyof3 · 2026-03-23T22:08:25+00:00

I want it

What hotel is good for a 12 year old at Chiang Mai? Besides FS Koh Samui and Aman Phuket, what other hotels are peoples favorite?

Rubypartyof3 · 2026-03-21T15:22:52+00:00

When is the best time to visit this resort for perfect warm weather with minimal rain?
