I wanted to make sure that I left a review that is accessible to the public so that others can know how truly special this place is. We travelled in June this year with our kids - 5yo and 7 month old.
The pros - beautiful intimate resort in the Yasawa Islands. The second you step off the resort boat you’re met with the clear blue water, white sand, coral reef at your door step and the beautiful staff singing you a welcome song. We stayed in a Cove Villa room which has a separate room with bed bunk. The villas are located near the Donu restaurant and pools - the quieter side of the resort. It was perfect for our small family of 4. The resorts facilities are fantastic, both restaurants serve delicious food. Our favourite was the Japanese inspired tapas at Donu. There are plenty of free activities to occupy you at the dive shop. And most importantly (as a parent) - the kids club - absolute 10/10. The staff are amazing, loving and fun! My 5yo couldn’t get enough of the staff and the activities. We were also provided a complimentary mei mei (nanny) service which was the cherry on top to this resort! We spent a week living our best island life on Fiji time. We already can’t wait to go back!!
Our only feedback is - the spa and service needs an update. Small things like a refreshing cool towel, complimentary tea and a spa lounge to wind down after a treatment would elevate this place.
Note - the travel to Yasawa Islands can be hit or miss!! If you get really bad sea sickness, I’d recommend taking medication or considering the helicopter. My daughter and I get bad motion sickness. I made sure we took medication and focused on the horizon! The boat ride on the way over was nerve racking but we were warned the waved were rougher than normal. The boat ride on the way back to the main land was much better. We took the resort speed boat and the trip took no longer than 1.5hr. Definitely worth the effort though!!
