Welcome to Paradise The Ultimate Review
Island
- The Yasawa islands are probably the most beautiful Islands in the area. Enjoy breathtaking corals soft golden sand ️ and stunning sea life
Resort
- Pre-Arrival: Even before we arrived everything was extremely professional and organised. We booked the private ferry transport via the website which took us straight to the resort ~1 hour by speedboat !
- Stay: The Resort itself is a palm tree nestled luxurious experience! From a welcome song to the fine dining experience- from the activities to chilling at the pool - from snorkeling to diving ! You’ll love it
- Staff: Everyone in the team is remarkable and well mannered. Every request is taken seriously and we were given a warm/welcoming feeling during our stay
Activities
- The resorts works with a dive company on-site where you can book all kinds of activities like snorkeling, diving etc. They even have a whole activities list (some free) for each day ! Apart from water activities there are also bush-walks and hikes. The nicest and most convenient is to grab free snorkel equipment and explore the stunning reef right in front of the resort
Special occasions
- Celebrating something ? They got you covered with a birthday cake or other delights! I celebrated my birthday and my girlfriend booked a surprise -
- I was given a huge cake , birthday song and handshake from the team including the resort manager !
Meal Plan
- Probably the most controversial topic in the reviews and let me tell you - it is worth the money! They should name it “fine dining experience” as “meal plan” hardly describes what you’ll get. You will be able to choose from two restaurants (which are both fantastic). Basically 3 meals a day - breakfast, lunch, dinner. If the meal plan is not clear to you then you’ve probably haven’t done your homework while booking the resort.
The main restaurant offers a classic dining experience (a table and seats) with a menu to choose from. The menu consists of western and traditional Fiji dishes. The food is of the highest standard, absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection
The second restaurant is a Japanese style show kitchen (you’ll be seated around the fantastic team of chefs). It is very entertaining to watch the team preparing fantastic delights with unique flavours. You’ll be served (usually it is 12 courses) tapas style delicacies - perfectly presented and cooked to perfection.
Room
- My girlfriend and I booked the cheapest option which is the small studio and we were surprised how cozy it was. The studios are a bit tucked away from the main area which made it a peaceful location. The shared bathrooms were right outside and of the highest and cleanest standard we could have imagined. The best shared bathroom we’ve seen in our lifetime.
Other reviews
- No judgement here but usually check the weather before deciding to come to the Yasawas. Nature is unpredictable and you should be prepared. Same goes for manta snorkelling as there is no guarantee to spot wildlife (a park ranger once told me: “If you want to see the animals - go to the zoo”). Apart from animal wildlife, as it’s a resort (surprise surprise) you’ll have other people and also kids around. If you want to be alone take a plane like Tom Hank’s in Cast Away.
Health and Safety
- I think it’s a good point to mention as it should be the highest priority. The team treats any health related issues seriously and also have a nurse on site. There is also a heli port for serious issues.
- If you decide to book activities or the ferry service they will give you a security briefing. For the manta snorkelling they also make sure you don’t touch the mantas or decide to do something funny. For snorkelling in front of the resort please note that there is not lifeguard and you are responsible to take care of yourself.
Have a fantastic time ! Hope this review is helpful
