“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
7
people found this review helpful

What an absolutely beautiful resort in every way. In our first 1/2 hour after arrival we had a welcome drink, kids whisked away for a tour of the Bula club, received a full run down of the resort's operation and personal tour, selected a pillow from the "pillow library" and were sitting on the verandah of our bure enjoying a complimentary foot scrub! Staff are fantastic, friendly, will do anything to help you and fully embrace the resort's culture and eco-friendly approach. Grounds are impeccably maintained, with staff even out with their raincoats attending to the gardens. Rooms are beautiful with a true tropical island ambience. Food is absolutely amazing without going over the top, plenty of variety for adults and kids alike. Bula club had excellent facilities and nurturing staff. Plenty of activities for adults and kids, each day a themed schedule is provided so you can participate in as little or as much as you want. Scuba diving operation was brilliant and underwater world incredible without having to travel too far from the resort, even the snorkelling off the pier was amazing. Oh, and the massage in the beach bures was to die for.

“best luxury resort holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Travelled with 2 young kids. We had a nanny per child. We got to spend a lot of time with our kids (with help!) and still go on adult snorkelling trips and have dinner and some relaxation alone together every single day, knowing they were in good hands! The staff were fantastic! The food was excellent. We booked to return again in 12 months as soon as we returned home.

As everything is included, it works out good value, despite the steep up front cost

Room Tip: They are all goo. YOu spend very little time in the rooms, so no need for ocean view.

“Thirdt time in 6 years!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Just amazing feeling to be here again. I don't have kids, but this would be the place. Bula Camp and nannies provided AT NO CHARGE for all! Adults only areas make this very peaceful. Food has been "over the top" and 3 courses at each meal are difficult to choose OR turn away. Always gain 2 lbs/day when here. Greg(manager) seems to have this thing "just right". Bures are very spacious. and of course, dive shop pros are the best in Fiji, even if the viz wasn't so good and am hoping the coral comes back soon.

“Exceeded expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We recently spent a week at Jean-Michel COusteau. We went without many expectations (we just needed a break) and were surprised and delighted to discover that we had a full time nanny (included in the price of accommodation) for our baby. We were also delighted by the high standard of food (Fijian food is often quite stodgy but the chef here turns out incredibly fresh, innovative food at every meal). The staff are friendly and discrete andf the kids club means you have help with your own children and really dont have to see much of anyone else's! The main pool does not allow children so it feels like an adults' resort in many ways.

Room Tip: Go for the OCean view bure. Why come all the way to Fiji without having a water view?

“Nicest people-Beautiful Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Once you arrive at JMC, you are in for quite a treat. The people at the resort so genuinely friendly and willing to go the extra step to make your trip memorable. The resort is meticulously maintained and beautiful. World class snorkeling right off the dock. We spent 4 amazing days here and cannot wait to come back. Beware of the Fijian airlines, but once you get on the resort, it is truly paradise!
