Tides Reach Resort

 

Hi Melissa, Caroline helped my wife and I plan our Honeymoon in Fiji and we had an amazing time. All of her recommendations were spot on, the itinerary and transportation were flawless and she was very responsive while we were there despite the time difference. Now we have memories to last a lifetime. A big thank you to Fiji Vacations and Caroline. We will be sure to send our friends your way as they start getting hitched. Have a great night!

Hi Cheryl, We had an amazing time and all your information and arrangements worked out smoothly. The experience was a once in a lifetime and we will not forget it! But constructive feedback would be maybe just put USD next to the quoted price for other customers, other than that your response times were amazing, your information was even better and you picked a place that was perfect for our needs. The Staff members on the island and Natasha and Dan were the most amazing people, I will be recommending this place to so many people We loved it so much that Daniel wants to go back for our 1 year wedding anniversary which I will contact you directly when it’s time to book! Thank you so very much for everything! Melissa and Daniel, Australia

Hey Cheryl,   Thanks for touching base even after everything is said and done! We had a terrific time and enjoyed every single moment. We had seamless transfers with no hiccups and thanks to the info docs you provided and the timely info emails, we were well prepared. I just posted a review on Trip Advisor…   Looking forward to working with you again in the future.   Regards   Martin

My wife and I had the best time at the Lalati Resort! We purchased the trip that included Airfare through Travezoo.com and had no issues at all. Its a bit of a trip from Tampa to Fiji but once we arrived at the Resort our vacation began and it didn't disappoint! Without question the best part of the experience were the people. From the staff to the islanders everyone was warm, accommodating and super friendly. We made friends right away and began developing a great report with everyone. We wanted a honeymoon experience in a place that had amazing ocean access, secluded and private accommodations and the ability to create our own adventures. We were able to do this and more! Our days looked a lot like this: Get up and relax on our front porch and watch an amazing sunrise and then go e...

We arrived late in Nadi and didn't fly out to Taveuni until the next morning to start our trip and to end it we flew in to Nadi at 6 in the evening and didn't fly out till 945 the next night. Our travel agent (Melissa Pomeroy from Fijivacations.com) suggested that we spend our extra time here. I am so grateful for her expertise in planning and especially her recommendations on lodging. I can't tell you how nice the staff was. I will admit that there was a small hiccup with the shuttle the night we arrived, but being a business owner I understand small things can go wrong and it was handled in a timely manner. Our first night we arrived very late and it was a perfect and quiet setting to just fall asleep in so that we could wake and get on our commuter flight the next morning. I was a bit...

“Excellent Vacation” My wife and I stayed at the resort for a week and had an absolutely fabulous time. It is a small resort which makes it very special. You will not see other people aside from some of the few islanders living there. And there are no cars or roads on the island. The food was excellent, and the accommodations wonderful. We got our diving certificates there. Lars and Krista were awesome instructors. We did the online/book work before going and completed the open water work there. It really was a great way to do it. We finished with the Shark Dive - which my wife insisted on and turned out to be awesome. We also snorkeled, swam and Kiaked off the beach. Lots of amazing corral and fish right there! I would caution that this is not the place for someone who wants a fi...

“A perfect Vacation.....finally.” So we are home and I can't stop thinking about how wonderful our experience was. The entire staff made us feel like welcome family, not the kind that you just put up with because they are related. I can't just name a few people that stood out personally in our experience, because I don't want to leave anyone out. Everyone was stellar in taking care of our every need. The signature experiences are out of this world. If you go make sure to at least do the Coastal Walk on Taveuni, and if you are lucky enough to be there during right season swim with the Manta Rays. No matter what time of year you are there make sure to visit at least one of the villages. Many of the staff are either from or live in one of the close villages and are happy to introduce yo...

“When we were looking at honeymoon locations in Fiji, we knew we did not want a large resort that made us feel like we were still in North American. Our Travel Agent, Maria Smith from Fiji Vacations,  guided us to Lalati and  Lalati gave us exactly what we were looking for in a honeymoon. We had exciting adventures and bonded with the other guests and staff.  Our most memorable experience was the time we spent with Kula, Lalati activities staff member. We had done many resort activities with him and all the activities made our stay memorable. When we joined basketweaving with him, he sat and talked with us. He patiently answered questions, told us about his life and family and asked us questions about our lives too. Lalati is wonderful for so many reasons, but that experience highli...

Cheryl, Paradise Cove was perfect! It was extremely beautiful, great food and great service! We had an amazing trip. The best trip of our lives, and I am not exaggerating. Thank you so much! Thank you again, Chris and Diane

Bula!  (Oh how I miss that :)) Thanks for the follow-up! Everything was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!  The Lalati Resort  is 1st class, the activities were fun, and the ability to relax and forget about real life was on point.  The resort managers, staff, local villages, and dive shop managers made our stay so enjoyable.  The intimate setting was exactly what we were looking for.  I couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon!  Oh, forgot to mention, Food was 5* quality.  I didn't have a meal I didn't love.  I'm pretty sure I gained 10lbs, hahahaha We booked an adventure and a day room through Lalati booking services the day we returned (8:30am departure from Beqa and flight out of Nadi 11pm)  We did the Pacific Harbour zipline & that was fantastic. Thanks! Chris & Jennifer Gre...

Heaven on Earth! We had high expectations for our vacation to Tides Reach and Fiji - and our experience so exceeded those expectations that it took our breath away. Thank you to the amazing people of Tides Reach and Melissa at Fiji Vacations for this trip of a lifetime. The privacy, intimacy, and fabulous service made it feel like our own secluded and exotic world. Our stay was filled with delicious, fresh, organic food tailored to special dietary needs and exploding with wonderful flavor. Thanks Chef Toto! I wanted to bring you home!! The beauty of Taveuni, the wonderful warm water, terrific snorkeling, diving, Paddle boarding, biking and kayaking left us busy enough to experience Fiji but with plenty of time to relax. We fell in love and rated this vacation one of the best vacations e...

Hi Cheryl! John and I did not want to leave Lalati Resort!  It was the best vacation we have ever been on.  We loved the small atmosphere and how friendly everyone was.  Thank you so much for your recommendation and help on finding that! One thing that we did not expect was our garden room.  It was very old, dirty, and out of date.  I almost felt like we were "roughing" it.  Luckily, there was a whole in the roof and it rained the first night so we got a free upgrade to an oceanfront villa which was WAY better!!! Other than that, we had a spectacular time and recommend it to anyone!! Thank you again for your help!! Erin...

Best Island Trip Ever!!! A world of thanks to Melissa at Fiji Vacations for recommending Tides Reach. This was our fourth Fiji vacation with Melissa and we can't say enough about this wonderful new resort! The staff...Eunice,Maria, George, Sucra and Sherri made us feel welcome and pampered.The accommodations were first class, food, amazing ,activities were spectacular...the private island picnic, atvs to explore the island, hike to the waterfall, and then of course the trip to the village topped with the party the night we left...The Tides Reach staff 's care and level of service is the best we have ever experienced in our travels to over 30 countries. The resort location, serenity and views are stellar. Book with Melissa and go here. You will be forever happy you had this experience. ...

Cheryl, Thanks for following up.  It was a wonderful, relaxing time.   We both work stressful jobs and have very busy multi sport high performance kids who we ferry all over the place.  Time alone on Yasawa was the perfect depressurization.  Best nights of sleep I have had in years. Yasawa is quiet and unspoiled but there was lots to do if you are the energetic self entertaining type – snorkeling, kayaking, scuba, tennis, hiking.  Staff at the resort, as all the reviews say, were great.  Food mostly excellent, a couple of dishes just good – if you measure it against good to great places in an urban centre.  When you think about the location and the size of the place, it really is impressive what the kitchen does.  Great wine list for such a remote spot.   Accomodations –...

Bula Caroline~ Sorry for the late reply. It's been our great pleasure planning the Fiji trip with you. Couldn't have done it without your help. Also thank you for assisting us with getting all those perks. I have a great feeling we're going to love it there. We will definetely contact you for future trips. Thank you Best, Myung

Hey Melissa, Just wanted to let you know that we made it back to the states safely!!! Landed in LA last night and everything was taken care of through Fiji airways. Thank you so much for everything and all your help. Namale was the best honeymoon destination EVER and was an experience that Kelly and I will never forget. Could have never had done it or at least made as comfortable and easy without all of you. Thank you again and hopefully will talk to you sometime in the future for any other vacations we may be planning. Take care Kyle

Hi Melissa We just returned from our Fiji vacation at Castaway.  We had a wonderful time!   My kids actually cried when they had to leave -- they just did not want to go home.  They made great friends and the staff was fantastic. We had a flight delayed on the return, but everything was handled smoothly with Pacific Destinationz on the ground. We had such a good time that I think we want to go back in 2015.  Can you keep me in your tickler file for any airline / accommodation specials.  We will likely book for spring break 2015 (March timing). Thanks again for all your help.  It was such a great trip. LC

A Sanctuary for Play, Peace, Paradise” Reviewed 25 July 2012 In selecting a location for our vacation, our top priority was a place that would offer us both luxury and an authentic Fijian experience. Namale exceeded our expectations. Staff: The sincere kindness and joy of the staff is contagious. Their quick smiles and greetings warmed our hearts while their attention to details pampered us daily. Guests: It was such a delight to meet fellow guests at Namale, many on their honeymoons or special get-away trips. Evening gatherings provided opportunities to mingle and meet without feeling obligated when alone time was preferred. Tony Robbins: A week prior to our leaving, we became aware that Tony Robbins was hosting an event at Namale during the time our vacation was scheduled. We seriou...

Hi Melissa, Its been several years but I want to thank you for setting up a wonderful honeymoon for us. I just wanted to give you the heads up that I forwarded your information to one of our friends who is getting married next summer since they are interested in going to Fiji. His name is Jason and his fiance is Nicole; he may be contacting you in the next few weeks. I hope all is well and thanks again!

Dear Fiji Vacations (Especially Melissa), It has been a few months since we returned from our Honeymoon/1 year anniversary to Namale Resort in Fiji. The entire experience was so amazing and we have you to thank for it. Everything was amazing and we were so grateful that you weren’t kidding about them literally holding our hands from the moment we get off the plane. ONCE at Namale all sense of the outside world quickly disappeared and we were able to soak up everything they had to offer. There wasn’t a dull moment and the staff there was just top notch. If We saw a few of the other resorts like Koro Sun, and while we only stopped by, we knew as soon as we walked on the property that you helped us make the right choice. While there we got dive certified and the Dive Shop was our 2nd Bur...

Hi Melissa! We are back from our honeymoon and can’t stop talking about namale! We had an amazing time and I cried when we left. Thank you,

Dear Fiji Vacations, I think we forgot to respond to you about the fabulous honeymoon you set up for us at Yasawa! Well, almost 5 months later, we are still basking in the glow of the most amazing vacation either of us have ever been on! Thank you, thank you, thank you to both you and Melissa for helping make the trip such a dream come true. From recommending Yasawa, to setting up the seamless arrival and departure, it was all perfect. We totally fell in love with the Yasawa Island Resort, the entire staff and the Bukama Village. We even made friends with some other terrific honeymooners from around the world. We took close to 500 pictures when we were there and we flip through our album all the time just to remind us how good we had it. We honestly felt that there couldn’t have been ...

Dear Fiji Vacations, Thanks again for all the work you put in on our second honeymoon. We appreciate the extra time you put in on updating us about the Coup de tat and it’s impact on our trip. Because of your timely correspondence we had the most up to date info when we departed. I will tell you that while this was our second trip to Fiji (Toberua), Vatulele far exceeded all of our expectations. Mark Kitchen and all his staff made it the most incredible experience. Vatulele gives you so much to choose from I think it is the best that Fiji has to offer – the best anywhere has to offer. Vinaka vaka levu for all the help! -Best Regards-

Bula Fiji Vacations! We wanted to give you an update and some feedback on what for us was one of the best vacations ever and our favorite trip to Fiji so far. First, all of the arrangements that you made for us were fantastic, with very smooth transitions between flights, resorts, and finally the airport. The person who greeted us was very helpful and we appreciated very much the rapid change in flights you made for us, when ours was cancelled, as well as the arrangement for the day room at the Tanoa. Both resorts were fabulous and very different. The combination made for wonderful variety and a really pleasant stay. Cousteau was beautiful, and we got the royal treatment from the managers, Mike and Sharyn McCoy. The staff there was terrific and it is really a great place for families wit...

Fiji Vacations, Just to let you know that my trip to Lalati this year was one of the most beautiful tropical vacations that I have ever taken. Lalati is a pleasant surprise in that the accommodations far exceeded all of my expectations. The bures are incredible, and the food rivals any fine restaurant here in Los Angeles. Living in the lap of luxury in the middle of the jungle on a beautiful Fijian island was an amazing experience. Then to top it all off, the surf break (Frigates Pass) has all the qualities of Cloudbreak, but much more playful. I can’t say enough great things about the experience I had at Lalati this year, and I will be going back in years to come. Thanks for all your help in arranging the trip. You took all the stress out of traveling this year, and I will be booking a...

Melissa - Jennifer and I just got back from our honeymoon, spent at Qamea Resort and Spa (8 nights) with our last night at Sofitel Hotel. Just wanted to say thanks! The trip and arrangements went without a hitch and the trip was fantastic!!! The resort was everything you described it to be. The fact that you have been to all 5 of the resorts that made our short list and were able to provide details for each was amazing and meant that we definitely made the right choice. The last night that you provided, at Sofitel, was most excellent as well. A beautiful resort that gave us an extra day of relaxation before returning home. Thanks so much for your assistance with our trip. We won’t hesitate to contact you again for what we hope will be future trips to Fiji. Finally, a couple of impress...
