This was an incredible place to stay--quiet, relaxing, and undemanding. The staff is all friendly, and within a day, they were calling me by name. As an adults-only resort, it makes the place much more enjoyable, since there isn't screaming or yelling and no crazy activity at the main pool. The food and drink are all good too! Highly recommended if you're looking to relax and just get away from everything, or have a special, memorable vacation. To get there, you have to travel by boat or ship from Nadi, Fiji. Both South Sea Cruises and the Malolo Cat are the typical ways one would arrive, and you need to coordinate ahead of time with the resort so they can ensure their boat meets you to take you to the resort. When you arrive, you're immediately welcomed by singers. Accommodations range from bures with pools to bures without dipping pools. They all have outdoor showers (I never actually used the indoor shower), a small refrigerator, and an AC unit. There aren't any TVs. Wifi internet is available in the common areas. Breakfast is included, but lunch and dinner are either by meal plan or charged to your room for payment at check-out. The meals were all excellent, and the way it worked out for me, it was way cheaper to just pay for each meal rather than go for a meal plan. There's a variety of choices at dinner as well, which change from day to day. I really liked the BLT with fries at lunch; their fries were really good! Customer service is excellent. I was able to arrange for a day trip back to Nadi to do a little sightseeing, and the staff helped arranged that. After a few days, I had begun learning the names of the staff as well, because they are all so friendly. There are daily activities, like snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, a village visit. Some may cost extra--like snorkeling to a location away from the resort or visiting a village. But if you want free activities, you can snorkel or kayak right from the beach. There's daily fish feeding too. For extra cost, you can have a private dinner on the pier or watch the sunset from a private point. Sunsets and happy hour are a special time, and the resort has a superb view for sunsets. At the end of my five-night stay, I was really sad to leave because I felt so relaxed and happy.
Heaven is, Musket cove. We stayed in musket cove last year and fell in love with the resort. So much so, we decided to make it our annual june holiday. Once again we were so welcomed by the most amazing, friendly and calming staff. Our Bure was a beautiful retreat, that felt quiet, peaceful and authentic. The island is our absolute favourite… the sand paths, immaculate gardens and activity/ entertainment options provided us with a dream holiday. My husband surfed almost daily, while I would go for hikes, run the island trials and explore. Found secluded beaches and lookouts that are more breathtaking than imaginable…. Ziggy and Josie always provided us with refreshment afternoon drinks (without prompting our preference) at the island bar yacht club. Ruth always hooked us up with the best tours, snorkelling trips and activities. Suli, was the biggest vibe. We loved his presence and enthusiasm. We loved our trip (again) so much, we re-booked for august and December/ January. Paradise does exist…
