Hi,Dec
2007
We are wanting to plan an extended family holiday next Xmas/ New Year for 3 generations (6 adults, 4 kids) and have had a good experience with Club Med's in the past (Cherating back in the 80's was great in April).
Wondering if anyone can help us out with ideas or feedback on the obvious resorts that fit our criteria:
We want a resort that is:
1. Within 8-9 hrs flying of Perth/ Melbourne
2. Is in dry season - or at least can expect good weather for outdoor activities (any experience with Bali in late Dec?)
3. Has a wide range of activities, preferably including watersports
4. Has a mini club for kids (kids ages between 4 and 7)
5. Has a "bungalow" feel rather than a hotel feel.
Cherating looked great until I read they have heavy rain that time of year and Phuket doesn't have quite as good an activity range.
Bali looks OK - but I think it is still pretty wet this time of year. Then again I do recall going to Noumea in December years ago and it was OK.
Any comments on likely weather in Cherating/ Bali or other resorts we should consider?
Cheers
Russel
