Besides, SOL which of these others would you choose to visit taking into consideration travel ease, quality and time of year. I think we will have time to do two other resort/lodge properties. From the research I have done, they all sound fantastic.

We are active seniors who like a combination of relaxation and moderate activity....no horseback riding or mountain biking....we do enjoy snorkeling and the beach and loved our safaris to Kenya and South Africa.

Any advice or other suggestions from the Australia experts would be appreciated!
