It’s ! 🥥 How much should you tip at an all-inclusive resort? It can be tricky to navigate! While tipping is rarely mandatory on the islands, it is deeply appreciated by the hard-working local staff. Here is the SimplyTravel guideline:
✨ Porters/Drivers: R30 - R50 per transfer or heavy bag.
✨ Housekeeping: R30 - R50 left in the room daily (don't wait until the end of the week, as your cleaner changes shifts!).
✨ Spa Therapists/Guides: 10% of the service cost for exceptional care. A small gesture goes a massive way in supporting the local communities! 🤍

🇷🇪 Did you know that right next door to Mauritius lies a dramatic, volcanic paradise? June to September is the absolute prime time to explore Reunion Island. While our other islands are famous for flat beaches, Reunion is a playground for adventurers. Think massive volcanic craters, dramatic waterfalls, and world-class hiking trails through the clouds.

A comfort hack for daily swimming

It’s ! 🥥 Here is a simple packing rule that will save your comfort: Always pack at least two swimsuits. Tropical humidity means things take much longer to dry overnight than they do back home. There is nothing worse than waking up, ready for a morning dip, and having to squeeze into a cold, damp swimsuit! 🥶 Pack two, rotate them daily, and keep your morning transitions perfectly warm and dry. 🌊

It’s ! 💵 A question I get asked daily: 'What currency should I take to the islands?' While local currency is great for street vendors, US Dollars ($) and Euros (€) are the universal languages of island travel. The SimplyTravel Rule: Always keep a few small-denomination US Dollar bills ($1, $5, $10) tucked away in your wallet. They are perfect for tipping luggage porters, boat captains, and tour guides when you haven't had a chance to find an ATM yet! 🏝️
