Unbelievable level of personal touch. All of the staff remember your name, it’s kinda embarrassing when you can’t remember theirs ! Truely a superb destination and as a massive plus it just so happens to be one of the best kitesurfing spots in the yasawa islands

Paradise Cove Resort – Pure Bliss, Twice Over! This was our second visit to Paradise Cove, and we came back for good reason. We stayed 9 nights in a Paradise Suite (#47) on the edge of the resort — total privacy with our own little pool and beachfront chairs. Not cheap, but absolutely worth it. The staff? Outstanding. Genuinely warm, professional, nothing ever too much trouble. They’re part of what makes this place so special. The resort uses QR codes for food, drinks, and room supplies — super convenient and keeps things seamless. We went diving three times — each dive somehow better than the last. Big shout out to Ray and Jerry from the dive team who were laid-back but knew their stuff. We also did the snorkel safari, which took us to three beautiful sites over 2.5 hours, including a quick beach stop for fruit and pastries. Best moment? Spotting manta rays and reef sharks up close. Food lovers, this is your dream. Donu Restaurant offers a Japanese-inspired 12-course tasting experience (with three rotating menus through the week), and Black Rock is your go-to for generous breakfasts, laid-back lunches, and elegant six-course dinners. We skipped the boat this year and opted for the helicopter transfer from Nadi — only 20 minutes door to door, which added a bit of luxury to the trip. While we were there, tsunami warnings came through due to the Russian earthquake. The resort handled it calmly and kept us updated throughout — felt very reassuring. There are daily activities ranging from diving and snorkelling to handline fishing, bush walks, cooking demos, village visits, and of course, a bit of kava tasting to wrap it up. Paradise Cove lives up to its name. Relaxed, refined, and unforgettable.
