    This is our honeymoon so I really hope someone out there can quote us happy! We're pretty flexable on the accomodation, does not have to be these resorts, but we do want a 5* in Dubai on the beach with sea view, and a 4/5* Water Villa in the Maldives, so if somewhere else is coming up a better price happy to consider it.
