I love Fiji!!! This was my 7th trip to Fiji and each time I like to visit a different island and am never disappointed. We had been wanting to get to the Yasawa Islands for a few years and it was well worth the wait. To fly over this tropical paradise and arrive at a remote island set the scene with the very unique airstrip. We were greeted with the usual infectious smiles, cool towel and flowers as we were driven to the resort. Here it felt like the entire team came out and welcomed us which was lovely. The setting is a visual delight and the resort is relaxed and intimate with such low numbers of guests. We loved our bure which was so spacious, surrounded by Frangipani trees (my favorite) and views of the ocean. We instantly felt relaxed and wasted no time exploring our home for the next week. I cannot fault anything about this gorgeous resort. The food was delicious and so much at each meal with the freshest seafood. There were enough activities to keep us busy, from stunning private beach picnics, a Blue Lagoon excursion, spa treatments, snorkeling, village visits, walks to look outs, volleyball etc. but you could do as much or as little as you liked. It took a cyclone to slow us down as it approached the island and we loved this. The Yasawa Island resort team took every safety precaution and were incredibly professional in their approach to this weather event and we never felt worried. This is their home and they have lived through this many times and know what they are doing. They still managed a high level of service during this time. It was wonderful to meet all the team and have a chat about the history of the resort especially Manasa and Wati and what they created. Even meeting the current owner and the management made our stay feel even more personal with a real connection. This fabulous holiday just didn't seem long enough as I wanted this dream state I was in to continue but we were happy with the 9 nights we were lucky enough to enjoy. It was then time to say goodbye and as the team at Yasawa Island resort gathered to sing Isa Lei I cried at the beauty of their voices and the longing for this incredibly happy feeling to continue. I loved this wonderful resort and all the awesome people we met. Thank you thank you thank you Vinaka Vakulevu and we hope one day to return to your beautiful Island.
