Thank you for our Vomo Island Wedding!

Hi Teresa,

I hope this email finds you well. Rob and I wanted to send you a HUGE, warm thank you!! Our destination wedding trip to Vomo Island was fabulous. We enjoyed every moment of it. The resort was awesome, the food wonderful and the staff like family. It was first class all the way from the moment we landed at the airport to the moment we left.

We had good weather and of course a little rain, but still beautiful. The day of the wedding, it rained until just 45 minutes prior to the start. I think Kimi was stress, but of course he had the perfect back up plan if the rain continued. 45 minutes before the wedding, the rain stopped, the sun came out and it was a gorgeous day. I have attached a few pictures of our stay and the wedding that I wanted to share with you. It was perfect and is a memory that will live in our hearts forever.

I could not have expected or asked for more from you or the Vomo family. Our vacation was absolutely perfect. I am sure we were not the perfectclients and I know we drove you crazy at times, but I truly appreciate you very much! Thank you again for making this week perfect!!!!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks,
Amber

Vinaka for doing such a Fantastic Job on our Fiji Island Honeymoon

Bula,

I can’t express to you how perfect our honeymoon was. Everything was PERFECT!

Our flight on Air New Zealand from LAX left on time and besides plenty of excellent food and beverages, the movies were actually pretty good, too. Once in Nadi, we were greeted at the airport by a Rosie agent and from there, totally taken care of to what was to be the best week of our lives!

Once we stepped off the helicopter, landing at Matamanoa and given fruity drinks [we] didn’t have to lift a finger to do anything! Our bure was clean, spacious and the view was beyond our expectations! We had the Kabote bure (we found out that all the bures are named after Fijian birds) which was #21… I tell you this because it was the last bure on that side of the island and we got the sunset and moon view every night.

We both also bought massages and a trip to a traditional fijian village for Christmas services. While there we also formed several fulfilling relationships with other guests and many of the staff, which made our vacation all the more enjoyable. (You were right about the mainly adult guest population - there were very few children or families - majority of the guests were couples.)

I can honestly say that we made the most of our time at Matamanoa and took nothing for granted! We gave as generously as we could to the Christmas fund, but would have liked to given more. I would recommend (and already have) Matamanoa to anyone going on a vacation and hope you do, too.

Vinaka for doing such a fantastic job and spending the time and energy answering all my questions and calming my nerves.

You’ll hear from us again when we decide to book our next trip to Fiji. If my wife, Jessica, has her way, you’ll be getting a call from us next week!

Sincerely,
Peter & Jessica

Thank You for helping us with the most amazing honeymoon!!

Bula Teresa!!!

I want to thank you for helping us with the most amazing honeymoon!!! It was such an amazing experience for both of us. Everything from the scuba diving to the village visit at Qamea Resort was incredible! We wished we had realized before leaving (and in all the emails you may have said I just dont recall) that we could take gifts to the kids in the village.

We ended up getting the nice people at Qamea Resort to buy some candy in town to take with us so it worked out.Vinaka vaka levu!!   Phil & Jamie

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.

Our Expectations of the trip to Fiji Were Immediatly Exceeded!

Bula!

My Husband and I just got back from our first 7 day vacation at Turtle Island, Fiji. We honestly felt like this was one of the best trips we have ever had in our lives. It immediately became clear that our expectations were by far exceeded. We knew it would be a beautiful island setting and have excellent service but we truly didn’t expect to make the friends that we did.

The “Family Table” concept may not appeal to everyone but we loved it. We took the opportunity to have a private beach picnic and to dine by ourselves on the pontoon but always looked forward to getting back to the group.

Lunch went on until 5:30 one day we were all having such a good time! The fabulous food and wine always makes for good conversation but the other guests we met, the entire staff, esepcially our Bure Mama, and the managers Paul and Amanda really became our friends. It is amazing how quickly you can get to know someone when you are in such a beautiful, relaxed environment. We have already signed up for another 10 day trip and we can hardly wait!

Vinaka once again,

Tim

Outstanding Personalized Service in our Honeymoon planning!

Bula bula Teresa!

You provided my wife and I with outstanding personalized service in preparing our trip (that due to unexpected wedding budget overruns, we were unfortunately unable to take at that time). It was so outstanding that when my friend Mike B said that he was planning his honeymoon to Fiji, I told him that he MUST contact you to plan a trip.

My wife and I still plan on getting to the Fiji islands within the next 2 years, and I promise that you will be the first person that we contact for travel reservations and trip planning.

Aloha Teresa!

Bryan McN!

I hope to go back one day… Thank you for all of your help arranging our vacation. It was by far the best place we have ever visited in our lives!
Thanks Again

Wadigi Island was the honeymoon of my dreams!

Hi Teresa,
Oh my goodness - words cannot describe how perfect Wadigi Island was for us! First, for future, we will CERTAINLY helicopter over to Wadigi. After flying for so long on a plane, we just wanted to be there and waiting around for so long was the only “un-fun” part of the trip. So, I know we could only go early if no one was there, but the 2-hour catamaran really did drag on. So, I know you warned us and we should have listened…the extra money would have been worth the helicopter - so next time.

But, WOW when we got there, everything was worth it! We knew it the moment we saw the island. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it. Boof the dog was waiting for us with his beautiful lei on..he was so cute. Tia came over and picked us up on the boat and while we were coming in, everyon was waving and waiting for us.

But we walked up all the stairs and got to the top where the Fijian staff was singing and playing guitars and waiting with a nice welcome drink. We just wanted to take a shower, but afterwards we enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The food was absolutely amazing the entire time…seriously very gourmet. The accomodations were incredible. We loved the outdoor shower and it was air-conditioned in the suites so that was nice too. We ate outside everyday with the breeze blowing. The infinity pool was to die for...we spent a LOT of time there.

Ryan likes to tell people “the water was as blue as the sky, which was bright blue EVERY day.” and that is so true. The weather could not have been nicer. Bright and sunny every day - very little humidity.

While we were there, we went snorkelling several times - Vika always packed us a nice cooler full of sodas and water so we could enjoy a cold drink out on the water. Tia and Meke were so much fun - they took us to all these places and helped us with EVERYTHING. We had never been snorkelling so I was a bit scared and Tia just eased me into the water and I was a pro in no time!

We went tubing and water skiing…we even got Meke to try! It was so much fun. Tia took us to his village (which was no extra cost) and it was very cool to see the different culture. We bought lots of souvenirs from them, which they thanked us profusely for.

So, what did I leave out? Something, I’m sure. But everything was phenomenal. We had the BEST time. It was soooo romantic and we had lots of romantic moments and time to ourselves. But when we wanted someone to help us with something or make us a drink, they were right there. It was perfect - if we wanted to be left alone, you wouldn’t even know they were there…you could walk around nude! But, if you needed ANYTHING, they were right there. Boof was great b/c we LOVE dogs and we missed our boy Jake so much.

You know, when we first booked this place we did it because we knew we would never do something like this again. We wanted a honeymoon we would never forget. And, we got it. However, we are already planning on how we can save enough money to go back!

Well I have taken up enough of your time - I could talk about it forever - I really could. I have my pictures in an album and I have been showing EVERYBODY back here. Everyone is so impressed and just can’t believe their eyes. They were in awe…which is exactly how we were the whole time on the island. I cannot thank you enough for the honeymoon of my dreams…I will never forget it. And we will be calling you in the near future to try and set up going again.
Vinaka!
Angela & Ryan

We loved our honeymoon on Turtle Island, Fiji!

We did love Turtle Island! It was so wonderful to be away and feel so taken care of - the people were incredibly friendly. We basically did every single activity on the entire island, LITERALLY! but, that’s what we were there for, and we SO enjoyed it. Thanks for all of your help leading up to it.

Have a wonderful holiday season and a very Happy New Year!

Our Fiji Honeymoon Was Great!

Hello Teresa-

Fiji was great! We both wish we could have stayed there for much longer, but all good things must end, right?

The people were the best! They really made the trip for us. I have been telling everyone that to me, it was the biggest point of difference. I spend quite a bit of time in the Caribbean and feel like the locals are always trying to shake you down for something, typically money. In Fiji, they are more than content with what little they have and just want to make sure you are enjoying their country. Very refreshing.

As for the resorts, Matamanoa Island Resort was exactly what we needed: it was close to the airport, not much to do but relax, cheaper than the other resorts we looked at (which we wanted because we figured we weren’t going to have the energy to do a whole lot), etc. The staff there was so friendly, food was decent, overall, just a great 5 days.

About Matamanoa Island Resort
Matamanoa Island is a small, intimate and secluded Fiji Resort set in the beautiful Mamanuca Islands approximately 30 kilometres West of Nadi International Airport. The Island boasts a volcanic cone jutting out of the turquoise/aqua blue waters of this unspoilt area of the Fiji Islands. Clad with dense bush and palm trees, the brilliance of the vegetation contrasts magnificently with the white curved sandy beach and pristine coral reefs.

Created for those who want to forget the pressures of their business or busy lifestyle or for those who dream of peace and tranquillity. In an effort to achieve this special atmosphere, Matamanoa Island Resort has adopted a year round policy of not permitting children under the age of 12 years.
