Reviews
Every island holiday is different, and finding the right one makes all the difference.
At Islandwize, I believe it’s about more than choosing a beautiful resort. It’s about finding the right fit for you, your travel style and the experiences you’re looking for.
But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what some of my clients have to say about their Islandwize experience.
Thank you for
the kind words
The room was so perfect for us as it was close enough to everything. It was almost like you knew it would suit us.
Mauritius holiday
Hi. Thank you for everything that you did. The room was so perfect for us as it was close enough to everything. It was almost like you knew it would suit us. The resort was awesome. We could not stop talking about the awesome service from all the staff members and how comfortable they made us feel. We enjoyed all the restaurants so much. We made one change to the places and took the kot nou instead of the a tavola and wow were we impressed with the cuisine. Thank you once again for everything you did. We have already said we are going to plan a family holiday and will definitely be using your services as this was above and beyond what we expected. Thank you once again.
Everything was absolutely fantastic – the flights were seamless, and we encountered no issues at the airports or the hotel. Your attentive care and regular check-ins ensured that everything went smoothly throughout our trip.
Mauritius · Honeymoon
I wanted to express my sincere thanks for the exceptional service you provided for our honeymoon in Mauritius. Everything was absolutely fantastic – the flights were seamless, and we encountered no issues at the airports or the hotel. Your attentive care and regular check-ins ensured that everything went smoothly throughout our trip. We truly appreciated your efforts in making our honeymoon so memorable and enjoyable. Thank you for everything! We’re so grateful to have booked with you.
I used to be skeptical of travel agents in this day and age but it was just amazing to be able to talk to a human being about questions which you might not find answers to online.
Mauritius holiday
I was given Kerstin’s details by a friend of mine who had booked her family holidays with her over the past couple of years. I provided a simple but specific brief of what my partner and I were looking for and our minimum and maximum budget. She provided a few options to consider on both sides of the budget and in between and we landed up choosing the one in between. She stuck to the brief perfectly.
The communication was amazing from the outset and all the way until the days leading up to our Mauritius holiday and when we got there to check everything was in order. Everything ran like clockwork, from the airport shuttle to the hotel stay which took the stress away from us.

I highly recommend Kerstin and her company and will be back to book my next island holiday with her.
Thank you.

Mauritius · Anniversary
From the moment we landed in Mauritius, our experience with Cannonier Beachcomber Resort was nothing short of exceptional.
From the moment we landed in Mauritius, our experience with Cannonier Beachcomber Resort was nothing short of exceptional. From our airport transfer to the warm welcome we received on arrival, every detail was handled with professionalism and genuine hospitality.
Before we even arrived, our holiday planning was made effortless thanks to Kerstin from Islandwize. She made the entire booking process seamless, was incredibly accommodating, answered every question we had, and ensured everything was perfectly arranged. Her excellent service made planning this special trip completely stress-free, and we are so grateful for all her help. Thank you for helping make this dream holiday a reality, our anniversary celebration was everything we had hoped for and more.
A special thank you to Chloe, who welcomed us with such warmth and took the time to explain everything we needed to know about the resort. She made us feel at home from the very beginning.
The food was outstanding. Every day brought a different themed dinner, offering a fantastic variety of delicious cuisine. The quality, and choice were exceptional, and every meal was something to look forward to.
The resort also made organising excursions effortless. Everything was handled efficiently, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy our holiday.
We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, and the team went above and beyond to make it truly unforgettable. We were surprised with champagne, treated to a complimentary excursion of our choice, enjoyed a complimentary anniversary lunch, and were even invited to an exclusive rooftop cocktail evening hosted by management, where we had the pleasure of meeting members of the management team. It was such a thoughtful and personal touch, and we felt incredibly special throughout our stay.
What truly sets Cannonier Beachcomber Resort apart, however, is its people. Every single staff member, from the management team and reception staff to the waiters, housekeeping, gardeners, and everyone we encountered, was genuinely warm, friendly, and eager to make our stay memorable. Their passion for hospitality shines through in everything they do, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. The entire holiday was seamless, we didn’t experience a single hiccup from start to finish.
Thank you to everyone at Cannonier Beachcomber Resort for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We left with full hearts, incredible memories, and already dreaming about our next visit.
We cannot recommend Cannonier Beachcomber Resort highly enough. If you’re looking for exceptional service, outstanding food, beautiful surroundings, and a team that genuinely cares about creating unforgettable experiences, look no further.
We will most certainly be back!

Mauritius · Destination wedding
If I could give Kerstin and IslandWize Travel more than 5 stars, I would!
If I could give Kerstin and IslandWize Travel more than 5 stars, I would!
Planning a destination wedding for 22 guests spread across Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, and even the UK felt like an impossible task at times, but Kerstin made the entire process seamless. She secured an incredible package for us at the Radisson Blu Poste Lafayette in Mauritius, including flights and an all-inclusive stay, all at outstanding value!
Our wedding was truly the stuff that dreams are made of. Standing beneath a beautifully decorated floral arch on the beach, sun-kissed and surrounded by the turquoise ocean, with our family and friends gathered around us as we exchanged our vows, was a moment we will cherish forever! The ocean seemed to cheer us on as it provided the most breathtaking backdrop imaginable ❤️
What made the experience even more remarkable was Kerstin’s ability to coordinate such a large and geographically dispersed group with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. No question was too much, no request too difficult, and every detail was handled with efficiency and warmth❤️
The entire trip exceeded our expectations, and a huge part of that is thanks to Kerstin’s dedication and expertise. She didn’t just book a holiday; she helped create memories that will last a lifetime!
I would recommend Kerstin and IslandWize Travel without hesitation to anyone planning a holiday, group trip, or destination wedding. Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality!

Mauritius · Birthday celebration
I celebrated my 60th birthday last week with my daughter at the kids free Nirvana @ LeMeridien in Mauritius on a half board package. What a memorable experience it was.
I celebrated my 60th birthday last week with my daughter at the kids free Nirvana @ LeMeridien in Mauritius on a half board package. What a memorable experience it was. The facilities were amazing with the friendliest service you could wish for. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff went the extra mile to make my birthday extra special. The food was superior with 4 restaurants to choose from. The amount of extras that was included made it so worth it. Left with a full heart, a rejuvenated body and a few extra kilos. Thank you to Kerstin@islandwize because without you this magical trip would have not been possible. Your advice, professionalism and wonderful arrangements are commendable. We’ll definitely recommend services to friends.

China · Business travel
I cannot recommend Kerstin from Islandwize Travel highly enough. She provided exceptional service in arranging our business travel from South Africa to China, taking care of every detail with absolute professionalism.
I cannot recommend Kerstin from Islandwize Travel highly enough. She provided exceptional service in arranging our business travel from South Africa to China, taking care of every detail with absolute professionalism.
From booking both our international and internal flights in China, to selecting and arranging excellent hotels, everything was planned seamlessly. Her attention to detail, prompt communication, and ability to coordinate a complex itinerary made the entire process completely stress-free.
Even when it came to changing hotel bookings, at the last minute, and arranging a transfer of payments from one hotel to the other on the day, due to supplier visits being extended which must have been a huge challenge.
Kerstin was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and ensure that every aspect of our trip was perfectly organized. Her knowledge, efficiency, and commitment to outstanding customer service exceeded our expectations. We even received notifications from her, when our on-line checking for flights had opened.
If you’re looking for a travel consultant who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about delivering a first-class travel experience, I would highly recommend Kerstin and Islandwize Travel. Although Kerstin actually specializes in the Indian Ocean Islands she is always happy to assist with other destinations where she has built a network of reliable and trustworthy suppliers
We will be using her services again for our future business travel.
Vietnam holiday
Last day of an absolutely superb trip to Vietnam, and I cannot thank Kerstin from @islandwizetravel, my travel planner, enough!

Mauritius holiday
We recently returned from an absolutely incredible holiday in Mauritius, and it was a trip of a lifetime. From the breathtaking natural beauty of the island to the warmth of its people, every moment exceeded our expectations.
We recently returned from an absolutely incredible holiday in Mauritius, and it was a trip of a lifetime. From the breathtaking natural beauty of the island to the warmth of its people, every moment exceeded our expectations. A massive highlight of our stay was the Radisson hotel. The resort itself is spectacular, boasting pristine grounds, beautiful views, with the peaceful beach and a perfectly relaxing atmosphere. The culinary experience was equally impressive; the food was amazing, offering a fantastic variety of delicious, high-quality dishes throughout our stay. What truly elevated our holiday, however, was the world-class hospitality. The staff at the Radisson go above and beyond, but we want to extend a special thank you to the receptionists, Ketan and Sufyan. From the moment we checked in, their professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made us feel incredibly welcome. They were always attentive, smiling, and eager to assist with any request, making our stay seamless and memorable. Beyond the resort, we highly recommend exploring the island. We booked a full-day tour of the South, which was magnificent. It wasn’t just a scenic drive; it was a deeply insightful learning experience with our driver Amitabh Bachchan (aka: Santish), where we got to discover the rich culture, history, and unique geography of Mauritius.
Thank you to the travel agent Kerstin and the entire team at the Radisson, for making our vacation so special. We cannot wait to book another trip and return!
