We found paradise! navutu is truly paradise and believe me all the good reviews are deserved.
We actually have been twice in the last 6 months - July & September and even tried to return in December for a third visit however it wasn't to be.
The island is wonderful so peaceful, the staff are all excellent friendly and its like having your own fijian family, the owners are part of the family and always are talking to all vistors to ensure you are enjoying yourself.
I was thinking of describing how good each member of staff was however they are all great.
If you like happy smiling faces with singing from dawn to dusk and nothing is too much trouble with perfect service then I have found you your paradise.
The food..... the food well my wife had Lobster everyday its 5 star food and the best of the best is not the lobster its the lovu, complete with carva. The lovu happens once a week and you get to join in the fun re making baskets etc (if you want to)
Navutu is the best place I have ever been on holiday for getting away from it all, we just totally relaxed - No TVs, No Mobile reception, no gadgets its so relaxing & quite.
You can go on snorkelling trips/fishing tripe etc and do try the lunch picnic on a deserted beach - very romantic.
The guests to the island are also very mixed and we enjoyed many a night at the bar discussing the world - there were Italians, americans, canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and us brits.
One thing you must do is visit the 2 villages where most of the staff come from, the one Dan/Littia come from has a shell market. The one "Big" or is that small Noah & Kiku come from is just a short walk and when we went over with Noah all the children formed a guard of honour.
(We took school equipment for them on our return - pencils/books etc)
The Bure's are just 9 in number 2 of which have sunken baths, we stayed in Bure No1 (the one up on stilts in all the pictures) and no8 (the end one by the Spa) - both bures were comfortable and the maid always kept them clean.
Noah the barman makes great cocktails and his daily special is always worth a try.
Be warned if you go to Navutu you will get great food, great service, friendly staff, be totally relaxed and totally enjoy yourself, if you dont want that do not go :-)
No seriously we travel all over the world and this is our little paradise and hopefully we will be back with our Fijian "Family" soon.
