Hi, I'm looking to go away in December for 2 weeks. Would like all inclusive. It must be zika free. so this rules out the Caribbean were we would normally go.(Bali, Thailand Maldives are also all out)With this in mind where would you choose?thanks in advance.

Some of the Caribbean is Zika free.
Cape Verde?

Just googled Zika in the Caribbean and some results came up which were Zika clear, can't remember where they were.

Cape Verde has a history of previous Zika Virus transmission. There is currently no evidence of an ongoing Zika Virus

We are due to have ivf and Cape Verde on the list on no go zones. Thinking it will be Mauritius. Just unsure due to the cyclone season.

Travelling in December means that you shouldn't need to be too concerned about cyclones. Especially if you're planning to go towards the beginning of the month. In any case, Mauritius is rarely affected by weather disasters. I'd suggest booking an ATOL protected package, if you're concerned about any issues or delays which could arise due to the weather if possible
