Taveuni Island West Holiday Packages

Staff were incredible, truly made the stay. Downside was they were doing room renovations along the block we where staying in which was very fumy, not great with a infant.

Serenity Island Resort offered us a truly memorable stay thanks to the incredible staff who made us feel like family. A special thank you to Emosi, Nate, David, Peter, and Seru for their kindness and hospitality. Our oceanfront bure had beautiful views, and we enjoyed walking in the shallow waters at low tide, spotting purple starfish and other sea life. Snorkeling was good all around the island, and the sandbar trip to the coral walls was a highlight. The resort is older than pictured online, and some equipment like kayak paddles could use updating, but the experience was still lovely. The handline fishing was fun, and the staff fried up our catch for a delicious meal. The lovo dinner was another standout. We recommend the full board meal plan as the food was fresh and varied each day. One challenge was with their reservations team, based off-site, who were out of sync with the actual resort schedule. Activities we pre-booked, like massages, fishing, and scuba, did not match what was available, and we needed medical clearance for scuba that wasn’t communicated. It’s better to book activities once you arrive. Despite a few hiccups, Serenity Island Resort offered a wonderful experience filled with warmth, culture, and beautiful scenery.

Stayed in the Obana, which as explained is TINY. But as solo traveler it was fine. I spent most of my time on the porch and loved that there was a fan and sun shades on 3 sides which I used to block the monsoon rains and still allowed me to be on the porch. The little bungalow was very clean. The beach is not a sandy paradise, not great for swimming but you can walk down the beach to the lagoon. I spent my time scuba diving, I didn’t need much more water time.I rarely to never watch Television, but I was so happy there was Netflix when absolutely poured rain all day and night. I used one the bikes, it definitely needs some love, but is basically worked. The grounds very well maintained and lovely. The staff very pleasant and very responsive to any needs. It’s bit far from town but enjoyed taking the local bus. The taxi driver, Bablu the hotel uses is a gem. He was so helpful. He saved the day for me when I was having great difficulty reaching someone on the island

The Terraces is a good stop over, it was great for two couples as we each had our own room and ensuite. Bonus was the ability to do our washing, and they kept a bag for us while we were away for a week. Only thing was that the airport transfers aren't free.
