Amazing! Happy wedding anniversary to you both ❤❤

Thanks a lot Vanesha :)

Hi Kelvin, the video looks amazing. I've got a 4-year-old and she would love to feed the tortoise. Was it a part of the resort or somewhere else with a separate entry fee?

[@kelvinballoo]

Hi Amit SHah, unfortunately this was not part of the resort. It came out of a conversation with myself and one of the fitness instructor there, Ritesh but unfortunately he doesn't work there. You could try asking the hotel in case someone would be willing to bring you and your daughter there. Otherwise, I believe you should be able to see tortoises at Casela as well :)

[@harunakillar4005]

Hi Kevin, I enjoyed your video, what a cool location. Had you booked breakfast with dinner here? Were the evening meals free of charge, if you ordered extras with the breakfast and dinner booking? Because at Bodrum Lux you also recommended taking Meze with food

[@kelvinballoo]

Hey @Harun Akillar, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I booked the hotel on half-board basis which covers your breakfast and dinner. Yes, if you book half-board basis, it's free of charge. We did not order extras. The Bodrum blue is not a buffet restaurant and so you would be ordering dishes instead. Hopefully that helps with more clarity :)

📹 this video is very well explained, helpful, interesting and insightful. 💡 Muito obrigado for sharing 🤝

[@kelvinballoo]

@Teelock Mithilesh, am glad you found it insightful. My pleasure! :) Cheers!

[@atasteofcath]

Amazing! The hotel looks incredible. Were the different activities an additional cost? If so which of them?

[@kelvinballoo]

@Cath_Onu, yes, it's incredible. So far, most of the activities were included as part of the package. For scuba diving, initiation is free but if you want to do more, it's chargeable. I remember seeing a seaplane also, that should be chargeable too. Massages are at an additional cost. Hope this helps :)

[@atasteofcath]

@@kelvinballoo Thank you!

[@Suletje]

Hi I have some questions. Do you know if they have halal dishes? Do you have to pay for any food in the hotel or is it all inclusive?

[@kelvinballoo]

@Sule Yalman, they do have halal food in all their restaurants. But you can check with them for further information. For the food, it depends on the package you choose...they have bed and breakfast, half board , full board and all-inclusive.

[@ORIGInalGangsTAA]

Hi for half board did you have to pay for the Turkish restaurant?

[@lenorepeer2256]

[@MrYas18]

Thinking about going here in December for honeymoon, any recommendations, tips etc .. starting to look at flights, coming from UK

[@kelvinballoo]

Hey @Yaseen, my Mauritius guide is in progress currently. Will let you know when it's ready and then hopefully it will help you out ;)

[@fanish10]

Do you recommend going during weekdays? (i suppose it would be emptyish, and i would have to have the restaurants closed when i go. im free only weekdays)

[@kelvinballoo]

Yes, i highly recommend weekdays because there are less people and hence more attention and care will be given to you. The quietness will be heavenly. I did both weekend and weekday and I will choose weekday if I go again. You can have your water sports without needing to wait for people. Not sure if all restaurants are closed but my guess is they will open on rotation perhaps. You may give them a call to see which restaurant will be open when and you can plan accordingly, depending on which one you wanna go for.

[@nellycious1692]

Hi kevin can you do a cost for staying in that hotel? Secondly how is the oil spillage issue?

[@kelvinballoo]

@Nelly Cious, the cost for that hotel was Rs 8000 (200 USD) per night for a half board experience. Drinks are payable but other than that...all activities were Free of charge. It was actually a promotional rate. Normally it's more expensive. About the oil spillage, honestly, i did not really check again on that. News are no longer talking so much about it. If i find anything, i'll try to update ;)

[@kelvinballoo]

@Nawshad , why covid 19 in europe though?

[@cindyhoang5765]

We are considering this hotel for our honeymoon. What was the category of the room ? Deluxe room?

[@kelvinballoo]

Hi Cindy… it is a good choice…it is a great hotel and yes, it’s the deluxe room

[@sheilakawol4037]

Hi Kevin, thank you, My mum is miss Devi Balloo ,are you related to her

[@kelvinballoo]

Hi @Sheila, I don't think we are related :) Apparently, there are lots of Balloos in Mauritius hehe

[@Heading370]

This was the Deluxe Room wasn't it?

[@kelvinballoo]

@Heading370, yes, I believe so! :)

[@sonal8929]

How much it costed for the stay?

[@kelvinballoo]

Hey Sharon, it costed us Rs 8000 per night which is roughly around 190 USD per night (based on today's xchange). That said, this was the price during Covid when there were not tourists around, now it must be more expensive.

[@sonal8929]

@@kelvinballooawww!! thank you, dear for the reply. Didn't expect I'll have such a quick response. Happy new year 2022.

[@cupidcrank]

What type of room did you get?

[@kelvinballoo]

@Michy D, we got the deluxe room. Then they gave us the chance to visit the villas too. You can request for that if you wish to visit too ;)

[@cupidcrank]

@@kelvinballoo thank you for your response!

[@cupidcrank]

@@kelvinballoo which restaurant was your favourite and a must try?!

[@kelvinballoo]

@Michy D...tricky question...as I'm torn between INTI and Bodrum Blue. If i were to go based on food only, then I would go for peruvian food. Bodrum blue's food is great too and the view is fantastic. I guess, if you are there during the day, go for BODRUM blue...and if at night, INTI would be a nicer choice :)

[@kelvinballoo]

@Nawshad, chill...it's fine to ask ;)

Was that a phone or not🤣🤣

[@kelvinballoo]

Haha @Spirit_of_delphes, thank God it was not a phone! It was my Gopro...a bit more robust :)

[@hibutamu4884]

There was a murder in this hotel. Google it.

[@kelvinballoo]

Yup... a long time ago and it was a different hotel name back then. It has been rebranded since.
