Hmm, may have to ask one of my team out there for a favour!

Bit risky, but it's worked out - I'm now 2hrs in to trying to understand what I need to do with the various tests, apps and forms... 🤪
I sort the holiday, Mrs RC sorts the tests and forms. Fair division of labour in my book
I was also looking at the Anantara, which appeared to be very good value, but given this is the only holiday we've had this year, I will probably just stick to what I know with Atlantis. I just hope that the waterpark isn't too much of a building site right now, as the website suggests some of the older parts are still closed...
General question - how fussy are they about mask wearing when you're in the resorts?
