I could make you all more jealous by saying it's kind a free holiday, but i wont mention that.

Cook Islands... hmm i have heard they are nice.. worth looking at.

Oh yeah, Cook Islands are bliss. I've talked about Rarotonga before on here and said that I didn't see any kids, but another poster said there were kids everywhere....but I WAS on my honeymoon

We swam, snorkled and chilled out there. I wasn't a fan of snorkling but fell in love with it. If you go there, stay on the side where the three little islands are, the lagoon is shallow and heaven. The locals are adorable, so super friendly.

Ooh Cook Islands has got to be a contender.

I think we looked at Plantation, and Matamanoa ( I could have just made that name up, however I know it does start with M and we flew over the top and decided we should go there next time )

The only resort island I've been to is Mauritius. Kinda the other way to where you're thinking but it is beautiful especially on the west coast. We stayed at Sugar Beach, the people are friendly, very relaxing, has activities and kids club.

Ooo Mauritius would be nice. There is a new lady who's just moved into town from there. She's lovely so it has to nice right? Thanks Elund, i'll look into it.

Cook Islands is worth looking into too. Thanks.

We stayed at Lomani, which is next door to Plantation. Lomani is the adult only version, Plantation the family version. Same owners, so they may share the same staff. The staff were wonderful. I got a pedicure at Plantation. It looked like there were loads of stuff for the kids to do. A kids club, a couple of pools. The bures looked nice.

The surf is a boat ride away, past the lagoon. The lagoon is nice to splash/fish in.

There's another resort next door to Plantation (can't remember the name). Their food is better. btw - we didn't buy the food package at Lomani because we really only ate twice a day and it wasn't good value (drank all day though ) Probably different with toddlers.

Isle of Pines. If you want a carefree holiday, where there are no shops, limited cars, white sand beaches, crystal clear waters. It is perfect for R&R. Not many tourists either. I could easily let my kids run around outside and know nothing will happen to them.

Tahiti is a pretty long flight. 7.5 hrs from Brisbane. We're thinking Vanuatu too or Fiji for our ten year anniversary. I'm following this thread closely
