Choose the shape of the holiday
For Bora Bora, compare the resort location, villa outlook and transfer arrangements around your stay. For Seychelles, decide whether you want one resort or an itinerary combining islands. A longer list of hotels is useful only when the transfers leave enough time to enjoy each stop.
Compare the whole journey
Request an itinerary from your actual departure airport. Count connection time, arrival nights and onward transfers as part of the holiday. The same number of booked resort nights can require a different number of days away from home.
Decide what makes the room worth it
Specify the features that matter: an overwater setting, a private pool, beach access, room layout or a particular outlook. Ask your planner to identify the exact category in the quote, rather than choosing from the resort name alone.
Put both quotes on the same basis
Compare the same travel dates, number of travellers, meal plan and included transfers. Confirm any activity, special dinner or honeymoon benefit separately. If a benefit is important to your decision, ask for its conditions in writing.
