Nanuya Island Resort

Our final stop in the Yasawas, and we received a very warm welcome, shell necklaces, cold towels and drinks. We stayed 2 nights but would have loved to stay longer. The resort is joined with Boathouse Nanuya in that it shares the boathouse, but we didnt venture further into BN. We were one of only 2 couples staying at Island Resort. We arrived on a Wednesday and departed on Friday, and from booking with Awesome Fiji, theyd booked us a Sawa-i-Lau Cave trip run by Blue Lagoon Cruises, but they only run on Mon, Weds, Fri and Sat. However, the staff phoned Awesome Fiji and (i think) transferred our booking to their own, so we visited on Thursday morning in a private trip instead. Nanuya Island Resort is the only resort in the Awesome Fiji repetoire to run an A la Carte menu rather than the meal plans, but it added up about the same. It just meant you could skip courses without feeling like youre wasting money. The food was great, especially the fish (of course), and could cater for all dietary requirements. Non-motorised activities were free, so we did some paddle boarding in front of the resort, which was incredibly calm and peaceful. We also paid $60 (~£20) for a snorkelling trip in the nearby Blue Lagoon with Moses, a great tour guide. Our villa had air con and a stunning little garden in front with a porch, very useful for drying things. The villa had a separate bedroom, reception area and bathroom, though there was no internal ceiling between the bathroom and the rest... The villa was constructed to a high standard and well looked-after, doors and screens included and we had very few guests and no bugs. Though Casper the Friendly Dog was hopeful of an invite one night. Big thanks to all staff, including Pete, Mini, Masi, Moses, Billy and Sali and all the others for making our stay amazing and memorable. Upon leaving, we were treated to a choir of Isa Lei, which was amazing and received flower necklaces before boarding the Yasawa Flyer III.
