We went to relax and read, enjoy the ambiance of a relaxing resort, be looked after superbly for a week, learn a little about Fijian culture and come home feeling glad we had decided to investmoney in an island holiday. Two of our eight days were dry, and we had storms when the palm fronds were horizontal and it was raining hard. I swam in the pool after dark in those conditions and it was exhillerating!
We were looked after superbly by every staff member, the breakfast and food we ate through the day was excellent, and the programme of entertainment was most enjoyable. This is not an island with a lagoon and white sand; it has volcanic-coloured sand because the main island is volcanic. We knew that and chose the location because, had the weather been better we intended to sight-see more on the mainland. We had a lovely spacious room, which was very well cleaned. I could not single out specific staff because they were all so helpful.We travelled just after the floods and were hugely impressed by the ground staff and boat skipper, who were very quick to come up with excellent solutions to every challenge the weather produced. I would certainly return; a week after we arrived home we are still reaping the benefit of an outstanding and memorable week.

We booked this trip a month prior and were so excited as Fiji had been on our bucket list. When we got to the resort it was morning and I wasn't expecting to be able to get our room yet. They gave us juice when we arrived. The staff tried to charge me twice as they ddint believe the voucher that we paid in advance. They also told us that we could not eat breakfast as we hadn't paid for it. It didn't give us the option to. We went and laid around and about an hour later they had a room ready early. We got to the room and it was spacious but we couldn't work the air conditioner which we never had to use. We did have some bugs but that is expected in a tropical environment. The sheets were dirty and stained and so were the towels including the beach towels. The breakfast buffet each morning was nice and always edible. We lunched off the bar menu and found the fish and chips our best option. We had dinner at the resort the whole time and found it to get repetitive and I felt like we were eating day old food. Like mixing in the fish from the night before in the pasta. The drinks were very overpriced. We had horrible weather. Loud wind and rain. There was so much standing water that I got eaten by Mosquitos. One night at dinner they were so bad that we left. We were never given the option to leave the "island" to try other things out as the staff made it sound unsafe. Come to find out that people left anyway. Considering the resort was very empty we figured a bit better of a time. Also they always kept pushing the buffet which was ridiculously priced and the food was the same as the menu items. The pool was big but could use a bit of a cleaning. Also, the resort needs to enforce small children not wearing diapers in there. We were overall not satisfied due to the weather and most of the food. We also will never go back if Air Pacific is the only airline. Our ending experience with them left us feeling completely underwhelmed and wishing we had just gone to Hawaii or Mexico.

The resort was nice, as was the staff. The pool was really beautiful with a swim up bar, but the beach was virtually nonexistent. You had to walk down to either end of the resort to get to the beach which was full of wooden debris and trash. The food was good and we chose the all-inclusive package. What we didn't know, was it that it included everything but beverages! I could understand not including alcoholic beverages, but soft drinks?!? Every time we ate, we were charged about $FJ5 for a drink. (We were told by one of the staff to be careful about drinking the water). Not being close to anything got to be a pain also. You have to take a boat from the island to the taxi, then a taxi to town. We ended up going to another resort not far away so that we could experience a REAL Fiji beach. (clear blue water, white sand, nice!)

Hot and sunny, fabulous jet ski experience. Water so blue. Snorkling amazing! Property has lush gardens, places to hide and relax. Walks. Our picnic was just wonderful. If you are lucky, you'll see a mongoose, and the geckoes are a bit scarey until you remember the jungle is close and they eat insects. I liked the daily newspaper so no excuse to miss any of the events or trips. Which of course you expect are going to cost more than sitting by the pool. The food was always hot and tasty - the best was the Indian banquet. I'd have like more cold, salad things generally available.

All the staff were happy and smiling, and kind and helpful to us, but not pushy. Especially the Fijians. Fiji time takes some getting used to at first. The kids loved it, everything really, and the girls loved having their hair braided and beaded and they were well looked after by the child carers, which left us free to have our holiday and spend time with them too. The kids betting on frog races - hope that doesn't make them into problem gamblers! I was talked into having a spa. I was unsure, but now cant wait for my next visit. Rooms and service all fine, no complaints at all. Anything extra we needed was supplied without a problem
