Myself and my husband stayed here in September whilst on our honeymoon. As a honeymoon place it was fabulous. We stayed in the highly sought after Bure 11 which is a steep walk up the hill but well worth it for the view. We loved the bure - I'm not sure the shower can really be referred to as out side though - it has walls and a roof! It is lovely though as is the rest of the room. The only thing to point out is that it is amongst the trees so expect creepy crawlies - everyday we woke up there was a cockroach on the floor. Also, use the mosquito net - not just for the mosquitoes, but also for the occasional bit of gecko poo falling from the thatched roof. That makes it sound like it was horrible, but it wasn't - just a fact of life of being in a hot place on an isolated island.
The resort is beautiful - the reef just off the beach, and the area where new coral is being grown was like swimming in a fish tank, and you can just walk down the sea path if the tide is out.
The food - again very nice and the menus varied every night. We would have like a variation on the lunch menu, but all the food was fresh and tasty!
The bar is well stocked, and we were expecting it to be very expensive after hearing about how much everything was on the outlying islands of Fiji. On average though it was only about 1 or 2 Fijian dollars more than the main island.
Now - the staff - what can I say - nothing is too much trouble - we were there whilst the Rugby World Cup was on and Joyji was happy to lend his boat out, and took us to the village on the opposite island for one game. Now we are back in the world of flat screen TV's and pubs the experience of watching a game with the TV poking out someone's front door and a florescent tube hung up next to it, and the next day of being in Aunty Fanny's front room with two TV's with no reception, we really appreciate Sky! Alfie, Linda, Joyji and Remi were all fabulous and we had a real laugh with them - thank you!
If you go to Fiji wanting a TV, hair dryer, night club, lots of places to go and see etc this is not the place for you. But if you want beautiful surroundings and masses of relaxation then get into one of the many hammocks - but watch out for falling coconuts!
