Hello fellow FTers....

Recently I was in Seychelles with the other half and managed to spend a lot more than what was needed to get the same amount of enjoyment.

I will try to do this in parts, also English is not my first language so apologies for any grammatical errors that will be coming on the way.

TIP 1:
DO NOT GO FOR THE HALF BOARD OR FULL BOARD
Why? Because I went for the half and full board at Hilton Labriz, and just to point out I am a person who eats well above average (i.e I can easily eat 3 bigmacs and 2 large fries when at McDonalds). And even then it would have been cheaper to eat without a meal plan. A half board at Hilton Labriz is gonna cost around 360 euro for 2 people per day. Instead if you have Gold status you have free breakfast and then you can pay for your lunch and dinner (trust me, it is cheaper than a halfboard/fullboard, I was a little shocked to see that so many people opted for a meal plan). Also: My meal plan was discounted and even then it would have been cheaper for me to just paid for each meal. The drinks you have to pay for anyways.

TIP 2:
MAKE A TRIP VIA NORTHOLME
By doing this, you are saving the ridiculous price for transfer to/from the Labriz island, which I think at the moment is at 125 euro per person round trip. (It is free for people who stay 5 nights at Labriz).


At Labriz I also managed to book the Deluxe beachfront pool villa with breakfast. I was already a gold, so by booking the room category below and without breakfast I could have potentially gotten the room for half the price (there was availability when I went there).

Boat Ride:
Make sure you take the boat ride that leaves to Labriz at 9am and leaves back at 11am. However the waves are really bad in November-March time, so try to book the trips outside these times.

Thanks
