What people are saying

User Review -

This book is now 10 years old - a lot has changed in Fiji and a lot of the information regarding the hotels and restaurants are outdated. Expect to pay at least double the prices that are listed!!

This resort is what I would call home away from home. The family that is running that resort really treat you like you are part of the their family and I would say it is one of the best resorts I have ever been to.
