Accessed by Fiji air on an easy 1 hr flight from Nadi on a small plane - we chose the ‘pay in Fjd ‘ option in their website & strangely it was significantly cheaper than paying in Aud - A bonus! What is there to fault at Savasi resort? Very little, it is the most wonderful atmosphere in a serene setting. There are a number of things that put this resort at the top of our many Fiji trips. it’s a combination of the beautiful environment, the staff who are amazing, the villas are authentic Fijian and the food was faultless. We stayed for a six day package and the fact that food is included here is fantastic. Having travelled all over the world, we can confidently say this food was up there with the best. No matter what cultural food they were cooking, it was a A1! We booked a 1 bed cliff top villa direct with the resort and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom – villa 5 which was set back out of the wind, but still had sun on the pool most of the day. It was heaven! Take an eyepatch if you are woken easily as the villas are positioned for the views, so don’t have full window coverings. The only thing we found is maybe the air cons will need re- gassing as they struggled to cool the rooms fully at night when it was hot. The resort is kept pristinely clean and we noted that the small things, like staff brush all the many paths with a broom rather than using a noisy leaf blower, ensuring the peacefulness. They offer activities if you want to do a lot and you can relax if not. But what makes a resort like this has to be its staff. You can feel when people are happy where they work and the balance is just right here. They are the most beautiful people always friendly and willing to help, while professional and humble. A resort is only as good as the staff they hold and the owners are lucky to have people like this as the face of Savasi resort. We had a birthday dinner in the special cave area & the staff came & sang with a bday cake which was a lovely touch! After more than two decades of visiting Fiji, we can say we will be back – it felt like family. Next time we will time our flights to go straight thru to Savasi from home, as international & domestic terminals are side by side. Vinaka vakalevu
Had a fabulous 3 nights at Koro Sun. We opted for a basic room which was spacious and had everything we needed: aircon, tea/coffee making facilities, hairdryer, iron and they even supplied bug spray. The resort is well maintained and the staff were so friendly. I celebrated my birthday on a Sunday and the choir sang my happy birthday song which was a lovely touch, and the staff presented me with a birthday cake. The only reason I haven’t given a 5 star review was due to the food and ordering system. We didn’t get back from our trip until 14:30 and went to Sandbar for lunch. We were told the kitchen was closed due to preparing for dinner - but they don’t change the menu for dinner and it’s advertised 11am-7pm so we were confused by this. We also asked if they could phone through and place our order for dinner in the main restaurant but was told it was too late as order had to be in by 14:00. We did eventually get both lunch and dinner but it was a bit of a battle. Also although we appreciate why they need food orders in advance the food in the main restaurant is precooked and left to warm so the 2 meals we had in there were a bit dry. We had dinner at Latitude on the first night which was amazing and the Sandbar food was also great. I would highly recommend this resort but I do feel they need to accommodate guests better who are going out on trips with regards to cut off times for food ordering. We were due back from our trip at 1:00 but it ran late which was out of our control otherwise we would have ordered in the morning.
