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.

Beautiful island and resort. The entire staff were so friendly and welcoming. When booking, we thought the mandatory meal plan was a bit pricey, but after dining in the two restaurants, we decided it was well worth it. Beautiful food worthy of quality restaurants back home. We stayed in a Paradise Suite with private pool and beach access. It was very quiet and private. There are plenty of activities daily and free snorkelling out the front of the resort. Highly recommend the paid snorkelling safari which included snorkelling in front of Manta Ray Island which had a beautiful array of coral and wide variety of fish. Highly recommend.
