Ultimate Family Job: Mauritius

Hi, my name is Katie Robson and I am the mum of the family, we then have Scott who is Dad and our 2 beautiful boys: Flynn who was 5 at the time of the holiday and Freddie who was 3. Then of course the family wouldn’t be complete without our resident cuddly toys BoBo (the giraffe) AND Beaver!

We applied for the Ultimate Family Job as a family who loves to travel and like most, dreamt about what an unbelievable experience it would be! But at the same time, we never for a second thought we would actually win it, even when we found out we were the winners we still couldn’t believe it until we boarded our first flight to Paris. The dream of visiting one of the admired Club Med resorts was finally going to become a reality and we were so excited!

The entertainment on offer at La Pointe was brilliant, the kids absolutely loved the live productions we could all sit and watch for an evening, with their favourite being Aladdin. Without a doubt our favourite event of the holiday was the 'legendary' white part that is traditionally thrown on the final night at all the Club Med resorts. The planning and production that went into this was nothing short of spectacular. The staff moved all of the dining rooms outside enabling all the guests to sit around the pool. There were bridges built across the water with fireworks going off whilst we watched a live singing performance from the whole entertainment team, it was brilliant.

Even though we have young children we still found that we had plenty of time to relax, the pools were so safe that we didn’t need to be in with them all the time allowing us time to sit back, relax and watch them enjoy themselves. We completed nearly all activities along with the children. However if we hadn't wanted to, we would have felt more than safe with leaving them in the Kids Club or taking part in the various activities that were going on every day.
