holiday to Kenya & Maldives
Ryan Boudreau, 3rd February 2025The trip was downright flawless. The properties selected were all excellent, and the transfer services at each airport were perfect. It was a dream honeymoon and I can’t believe how smoothly all of our travel went.
Accommodation Visited
Four Points by Sheraton Nairobi Airport
“The hotel served its purpose of housing us for 8 hours. Nothing too fancy, but it got the job done at a reasonable price.”
Hemingways Ol Seki Mara
“We probably didn't appreciate enough before the trip what it meant to be in a conservancy. Our game drives felt nearly private all week and at most we would see 5 other cars out in the bush circled around an animal. Our guide Patrick was extremely well-informed and personable. Everyone at the camp went out of their way to accommodate us in any way possible.
The only thing to be aware of for this camp is that the food is slightly limited for choice and is served at particular hours, meaning it was sometimes difficult to get a snack or cocktail made if you went to the main tent during a non-meal time period. This was not a big deal for us but something to be aware of.”
Constance Halaveli
“I would give Constance 4.5 stars as the setting is drop-dead gorgeous. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful reefs and snorkeling off our deck was incredible. The staff were so friendly and highly attentive. The overwater villas were very well situated and felt very romantic for our honeymoon. The hotel never felt crowded and quite often it felt like you had the whole beach to yourself during the day.
The only possible drawbacks to Constance would probably be the way dining is set up. The default restaurant is a buffet style for breakfast and dinner which was good, not great. They have 3 other specialty restaurants that actually had very high-quality food, but the reservations were tough if not impossible to get if the hotel didn’t pre-arrange them for you ahead of your arrival. The nicer restaurants were included in our half board package so we felt a bit disappointed having to eat dinner at the buffet 2 of our nights.
Overall I think if we returned we would try a different resort just since Maldives has so many options, but we did truly love our time at Constance and wouldn’t change a thing about our honeymoon.”
Staff Review
“I have probably traded 100 emails back and forth with Caroline before this trip. She was so patient in helping me plan this honeymoon and I can’t thank her enough. She handled our every request in a timely manner and rebuilt our itinerary several times before we had even booked with her. I absolutely hope to plan another trip with her soon.”
