I’m back to work and back to reality already…

I’d like to thank you kindly for the vacation arrangement, I’ve had a wonderful time in the Sunshine state with everything provided for mostly with nice accommodations and cool tour activities. Shame that the weather at the start of my journey, especially in Fraser island it was literally raining all day long… But the rest of the journey it was amazing fine, really enjoyed it.

Then again, thank you very much and wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Best,
Jorge

Travel insurance can be the perfect solution in times like this. It serves as a safety net of protection to individuals while they are away for a vacation or on a business trip. It is a vital part of every booking too, which is why you should not get overwhelmed with excitement and forget to get yourself covered.

For instance, when your flight gets canceled, some insurance providers give reimbursement of your fees. When you get sick, they cover medical assistance or even medical evacuation if needed. This is very convenient since when you are a sick tourist in a foreign country, it is not easy to even think about these things especially when you are already in a distraught stage. Your luggage and important belongings can also be insured. It will make you feel at ease when traveling.

In Australia, there are many travel insurance providers that offer various policies and covers for travelers. One of them is NIB Travel Insurance, a company that has been providing health insurance to Australians for over 50 years. With over 800,000 customers around the country, they have a wide range of health insurance plans for everyone.

Depending on the plan you get, nib offers comprehensive travel insurance for single, duo or family. It covers cancellation fees, overseas medical emergencies, hospital assistance, lost of luggage and travel documents. You can definitely find a plan at affordable rate that will be suitable for you and your family.

So before you finalize your travel plans, make sure that you get yourself covered with travel insurance. It will certainly safeguard you on your journey.

Definitely a 3 star property. I was a little disappointed in the accommodation on this Island. The rooms are very run down and general maintenance seems no existent. Simple things such as re painting the mini golf and brushing away the leaves each day were things that seemed to be over looked.

The staff, more often than not, were moody and it sent off a bad vibe. I had actually asked one of the bar staff to atleast smile when serving me but I was refused a smile.

The Island itself was nice, with beautiful views.

The meals were nice but not anything to write home about.

There were a few complaints from other visitors about the activities and the kids club not being available.

There were night time activities on offer but seen as how they were not widely published I didn’t even know they were on.

The best part about this trip was the cocktails and walking trails.

Although it is not on the esplanade with the rest of the apartments, It really is the prime location. It is a 1 min walk to everything but also quite and private.

My partner and I stayed in a resort room. This room had partial ocean view and pool views. It has extremely comfortable for a couple. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony chatting over a couple of drinks.

The property managers are beautiful people, very friendly and welcoming.

The resort also has a roof top spa and bbq area that is open to all guests. The pool on the roof top has a glass bottom which you can see straight down into the main foyer. You decide whether that is a good thing or not

The design of the property is a unique style with balcony walk ways winding, either side is beautiful palms soaring high and making you feel as if you are within a rain forest.

This peaceful property is actually one of the cheapest properties in Mooloolaba, but still as beautiful as the rest.

Given its name, surfing is, of course the order of the day here in Surfers Paradise. You can take lessons, head out on your own, or join a group lesson for abit of fun. Consider going fishing, or on a dinner cruise.

If golf is you interest, consider heading off to a golf course to play a few holes – there are 40 to choose from in this outdoor paradise.

There are more than 70 km of beaches, so there’s plenty of space to just hang on the beach without being crowded. From the beach, check out the activities on the water, and plan your evening or next day of activity.

If you have kids with you go out an have fun at Sea World or Dreamworld. Who knows? The kids might even enjoy a visit to the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum.

The Wax Museum is also a popular draw, though there’s are a few sections of the museum that is abit graphic – perhaps a better option for teenagers and adults. The celebrity section is always a winner.

At the end of the day, when you’ve had enough with sightseeing and outdoor activities, there’s always the Gold Coast nightlife.
