Our Fiji Honeymoon Exceeded our Expectations!

Bula Teresa!

We had a wonderful time! The Fijian people were amazing and their smiles are contagious! We had Adi as our Bure Mama (private butler) and we wanted to bring her home with us!! The scuba diving was great - we didn’t go fishing as no one was catching anything but we did everything else!!

Thank you so much for suggesting First Landing Resort - we loved it and it was an awesome start to our honeymoon. The dayroom was beautiful and just what we needed to shower and sleep until our private Villa with swimming pool (which was so amazing) was ready. It went perfect! Our seaplane adventure was fine but they did have some issues later that week and then the mechanic arrived to take care of things.

Turtle Island exceeded our every expectation - and we made such wonderful new friends. If you would like I can send you something in writing so you’ll have our comments if you ever want to use them on your website!

Thank you for everything!! I can send pictures one we get all settled.

Nukubati Island is the most environmentally conscious resort in the South Pacific

Recently I had the pleasure of visiting Nukubati Island Resort on my 5th trip to Fiji. Upon arrival I realized I have really been missing the boat in not visiting this little island paradise sooner. Nukubati achieves the essence of true authentic Fijian hospitality. The owner, Jenny was born and raised in the area, traveled to Australia for her advanced education, met and married her husband and the two of them returned to her roots to raise their children and open Nukubati Island Resort.
Nukubati, is a small, private, luxury island situated inside the Great Sea Reef, off the north coast of Vanua Levu in the Fiji Islands.
Nukubati has four spacious beachside bungalow suites and three deluxe honeymoon bures. The rooms are louvred, light and airy, with ceiling fans and are decorated in a style reminiscent of Fiji’s gracious colonial past. The rattan furniture is custom made to the traditional designs of the old plantation days.
The Fijian staff cater and care for you during your entire visit - the food is outstanding! It’s a blend of local recipes with a twist to satisfy any palette. If you have specific requests, feel free to let them know in advance so the Chef will be ready upon your arrival to the resort.
Your sea Captain and Dive Instuctor, Allen was raised on the reef. There are 7 bures and 7 boats - so plenty of adventure opportunities for everyone.
Nukubati Island caters to both the romantic couples as well as the ones looking for a little adventure in their holiday. [Read more]

Royal Davui Resort was First Class!

Hi Teresa:

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. As for Royal Davui, Marisa and I had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, and the food was wonderful! We never had a problem with eating at the same place day after day. Marisa and I did probably most of the available activities on and off the island.

All were very good, but we probably enjoyed the whitewater rafting the most because we were able to see a side of Fiji that you can’t see from the barrier islands. We did, however, grow a bit tired at the end of the trip of having to drive back and forth on the boat. It was mostly because we had a strong Southerly wind for most of the trip and fairly bumpy seas.

They didn’t have our accommodations right when we got there because they put us on the shady side (i.e., the South side) of the island. They were, however, able to move us to the West side after 2 nights. So it wasn’t a big deal. The weather was good for most of the trip. It did, however, rain all day on our last full day at Royal Davui. It was also raining the day we left, so we left Davui on the early helicopter to beat the weather. We got a day room at the Hilton just outside of Nadi, so it worked out just fine.

We were really happy that we saw the East side of Fiji. What a difference from the West side. I’ve attached a picture of Marisa and I from one of the dinners on our trip. This is from the dinner when we ate the fish that we had caught earlier in the day.

Thanks again for all of your help with another fabulous trip. I’m sure that we’ll be in touch when we start planning our annual trip for ‘09.
Best regards.
