garcon magnifique Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 A question for those of you who are well travelled (or at least better travelled than me ). A colleague wants to go on a beach holiday in February, money no object. But he's not sure where to go, or what state the likes of Mauritius and parts of Thailand are in these days... Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skifly Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 thailand is awesome - see the review section as i beleive someone else went there recently. Dont be put off my the travel agents saying the west coast was destroyed by the tsunami. Its a load of bull and was great even in march when i was there. If in doubt check with a hotel directly but most areas came off relatively ok and all work will have been done to fix it up now. Thailand - go for a couple of days in bangkok, maybe koh samui then maybe across to phuket / krabi area. Just my ideas for thailand. Oh and if money is no object he could head to the rayavadee resort in krabi. PM me if he needs pics of any of these places and i will drop them on the net somewhere.

v15ben Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Thailand is bloody good in February and very warm. An off the wall choice with unbelievable beaches and diving at a very cheap price is the Philippines - recommended by a guy who had spent a long time there too!

MOSE Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Have heard nothing but superb reviews about Thailand in the winter months. I can vouch for Mauritius having got married there last April. February will be hotter there mind and April a lot cooler. Oh and there are definately places on the Island NOT TO STAY!!! Unless all you want to do is look at Sugar Cane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTiMK5 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have been to Goa in February and can highly recommend it, the beaches are fantastic, the weather is guaranteed and there is plenty of culture there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
