Booking a premium resort stay soon? Before you unpack, check if your resort has a dedicated smartphone app!

Downloading it before you arrive can be an absolute game-changer for your holiday schedule.
For example, if you are staying at a RIU Resort, you actually need the app to pre-book your favourite à la carte restaurants before slots fill up!

For other premium resort groups, checking into their digital guest portals or apps gives you a digital butler right in your pocket to:
✨ Preview the daily activity schedules and cocktail menus.
✨ Browse and request your spa or diving time slots.
✨ Message the concierge directly for extra pillows, ice, or room service.

SimplyTravel Tip: Search your specific resort name in the App Store or Google Play a week before you fly. It’s the easiest way to get excited, get organized, and make sure you don't miss out on those top dining spots! 📲🏝️

Essential items to grab before you leave the departure lounge.

It’s ! ✈️ Following up on our lounge hack from earlier this month, here are the 3 quick things you should do right before boarding your flight:
1️⃣ Refill your insulated water bottle: High-end lounges have premium water filters. Fill up so you don’t have to wait for the tiny cups on the plane.
2️⃣ Grab a magazine or newspaper: Most lounges offer high-end reading material for free. Grab one to keep you busy during takeoff.
3️⃣ Download your playlists/shows: Use the lounge's high-speed Wi-Fi to download your offline entertainment. Plane Wi-Fi can be patchy! Your holiday comfort starts before you fly. 🌴

Wishing all our client's Happy Holidays and safe travels during these school holidays.

The "Local Sim Card" vs. Roaming

Staying connected without the massive bill. 📱📡

It’s (with a day late ;)!

🥥 Want to share your gorgeous holiday photos without coming home to a shocking phone bill?
Skip the expensive international roaming rates!
• Get an eSIM: Before you fly, download an app like Airalo to buy a cheap digital data card for your destination.
• Buy Local: The moment you land at the airport in Mauritius or Zanzibar, grab a local physical SIM card or an eSim (like Emtel or Zantel). It takes 5 minutes and gives you massive data for a fraction of the cost! 📲✨

Don't let a delayed room stall your holiday. 👙🏨

It’s ! 🌍
Picture this: You land in paradise at 10 AM, but your resort room is only ready at 2 PM. What do you do?

The SimplyTravel Strategy: Pack your swimwear, sunscreen, and flip-flops right at the top of your carry-on bag (or in your new dry bag!). Keep in mind, most resorts offer beach towels.

When you arrive, let the hotel hold your heavy luggage, head straight to the resort changing rooms, slip into your beach gear, and enjoy your first cocktail by the pool. Your holiday starts the minute you step onto the property! 🍹🏊‍♀️

Winter is officially here in South Africa, but over in Zanzibar, the sun is shining and the turquoise water is waiting! 🏝️🍹

Luxury comfort without the first-class ticket

It’s ! 🥥 As the winter cold settles in, the last thing you want is to sit on a cold metal bench at the airport waiting for your flight.
Did you know you don’t need a business class ticket to access the luxury airport lounges?
• Check your bank cards: Many South African credit cards (Discovery, FNB, Standard Bank, etc.) give you complimentary lounge passes every year.
• Pre-book access: If your card doesn't cover it, you can often buy a day pass for a small fee. With free food, warm coffee, and quiet spaces, it is the best way to start your holiday in style! ☕️🥐

How to beat jet lag before you even land. ✈️💧

It’s ! 🌍 Heading on an island escape soon? Here is a secret to beating jet lag that has nothing to do with sleep: The 250ml Rule.

The air inside an airplane cabin is notoriously dry, which dehydrates your body rapidly, and dehydration is the #1 cause of that sluggish, 'jet lag' feeling.

The Hack: Drink 250ml of water for every single hour you are in the air.
Bonus Tip: Avoid the caffeine and alcohol on the flight out. Save the cocktails for the beach when your body is fully hydrated and ready to celebrate! 🍹🌴

Sunscreen & Sea Life. 🐢🌊

It’s ! 🥥 As travellers, we are guests of the ocean. Did you know that common chemicals in sunscreen can actually harm the coral reefs we love to snorkel in? Next time you shop, look for 'Reef Safe' sunscreen. It’s a small switch that makes a massive difference to the turtles and fish we love to see! 🐠✨

Bonus Tip: If you can't find reef-safe cream, wearing a 'rash vest' or UV-shirt means you use less cream overall!"
