A
beautiful location – beautiful island, such friendly people –
especially our village visits. The food was excellent. It was
very comfortable, everyone with their friendliness. Mary
Louise Gorman & Suzanne Druffner - November 2005
You
have joined the blend of traditional Fijian ambience with elegant
upscale Resort flair– well done! We wish we could stay much
longer, our views are breathtaking and we really enjoyed the spa.
Our compliments to your chef – every meal was excellent. We had
no problems at all, only way to improve would be to stay longer.
All of your staff were fantastic – they remembered our names every
time – in fact some other guests commented on the samed thing.
Pinni did a great job with our meet and greet and check in.

Everything
was wonderful! Staff, service, activities and the food were
amazing. I can’t wait to come back with my wife and possibly some
family members as well! The bure is beautiful, everyone was so
nice and knew us by name, and the food was beyond excellent! We
will miss you all very much! We honestly can’t think of
anything. Pili came to pick us up at the airport and made us fell
very welcome. Percy and the other activity coordinators (Flo and
Sitoki – don’t know how to spell their names) were wonderful
guides and sometimes found special arrangements for us such as
stopping at the supermarket or taking us on a boat detour to see
some dolphins! Dining staff made every attempt to make sure we
were having a great time and enjoying our meals. They also
reminded us to get our picnic lunches when we forgot. Our check
in was great! The drinks were wonderful; Pili showed us around
and made sure we felt comfortable with everything. Philip Page
– November 2005
We
enjoyed the people, the food and just the general atmosphere. It
felt very personal that everyone knew our names, and we really
appreciated the farewell cake and song on our last night. The
service and hospitality the whole way around was excellent. We
cant think of one thing that we would change about our stay. We
loved every minute. Everything was wonderful, from the leadership
it was evident that there was excellent teamwork – Its too hard to
try and pick out anyone. We would say that everyone here deserves
a pat on the back for a job well done. Everything was gone over
very thoroughly during our check in. We enjoyed the coconut drinks
as well. Again – we were satisfied with our stay & will rave about
Maravu when we get home. Thank you so much for making our
honeymoon such an excellent experience. Kristopher Cox &
