Hi thanks so much for your response. Really glad you said what you did as we have just booked our honey moon today to Kuredu Island Resort - It looks gorgeous and I can't wait! Thanks for your response.

Missb000,

My wife and I honeymooned out there in early July '06. Yes it is the rainy season and it will rain, but we found that even though it was raining, if you're in the pool or sea anyway, it doesn't really matter - you're already wet!!

We still came back pretty brown anyway, most of the rain seemed to fall in the evening anyway, the days were either sunny or overcast.

It sounds a lot worse than it is and Kuredu is superb, it was one of the islands on our shortlist, we chose Lily based on the contents of the All-Inclusive package in the end - it was that close!

I'm sure you'll have a lovely time. Just make sure you upgrade your flight going out, on a long flight to Male you'll appreciate the extra leg room and wider seats.

In my opinion upgrades are not worth the money, i would recomend booking / flying with first choice if going package otherwise and of the scheduled airlines.Whatever you do DONT GO WITH MONARCH-nO --NO --NO.

Agree about Monarch - good god, don't do that!

Flight upgrades - depends on what you want really. We personally would never go anywhere long haul without them. I'm quite tall, well 6ft, and find the normal seats can be a bit uncomfortable.

Plus you get other benefits besides just a wider seat and more legroom. Being able to walk past all the people in the main cabin and check in at your own desk is worth it alone! lol

I can appreciate at book value they can be expensive. However, if you can get a discount off them it makes the decision a lot easier. But sometimes if you book late you can get discounts off the upgrades - we got £100pp off the upgrades for example on flights to Kenya in May.

If you find the normal cabin fine, then you probably don't need the upgrade - its down to personal choice at the end of the day. You can sometimes, if the flight isn't full, upgrade when you get on the plane, just ask the staff on the plane when you get on if there are any spaces in the cabin.

You have to pay, but its cheaper than if you booked it before.
