Can you recommend a good island holiday with 1 yr old baby...?
 
Can anyone recommend a good resort/location for island holiday with one year old bub?

Ned, Daydream Island is very family orientated and has childminding, as well as plenty of things for the parents to do. I'm sure you would enjoy a very relaxing holiday there. Here is a URL to check out some of the details. http://www.queensland-holidays.com.a...09003/main.htm <BR>Peg.

Go to one of the Hawaiian islands. It is not wise to take very young children to the S. Pacific islands b/c of the risk of tropical diseases and inferior sanitation and medical facilities.

Noach, Daydream Island is part of Oz, just 30 minutes from the Queensland coast. Much better than a 10hour plane trip to Hawaii.

Hi Ned, <BR> <BR>I agree with Peg that Daydream Island is the best family oriented Whitsunday Island resort. It is owned and run by P&O. <BR> <BR>My only concern with Daydream Island at the moment is that it closed for a major refurbishment of the resort on the 9 SEPT 2000 and as yet they have not posted a re-opening date. Check their website periodically to see when they are going to re-open, it is: <BR> <BR>http://www.daydream.net.au/ <BR> <BR>Otherwise South Molle Island is also a good resort. <BR> <BR>Cheers <BR> <BR>

When I posted my reply, I did notice the .au address and did think of the long-flight from Aus. to Hawai`i being a problem. <BR> <BR>I had thought that Ned was asking about one of the S. Pacific islands, such as Fiji, Tahiti, Guam, Micronesia, etc. and so replied as I did. <BR> <BR>I was not at all familiar w/ Daydream island but having gone to the website, I certainly agree that it seems like it would be a much more practical and sensible choice than HI. <BR>

Fiji!!! Go to Castaway island off Coast @ Nadi. Stay @ Sheraton Fiji then go to Island. They have Baby sitters for almost nothing. Great Island , go to Honeymoon Island for great snorkling. Have a good trip. Frank

Fiji is maybe not a good place at the moment given the current political developments? What about Numea (sp)?
