Barry, Colleen et tout le personnel de Taveuni ont été extrêmement accueillants et n'ont jamais pu en faire assez pour nous - un endroit incroyable, avec des gens incroyables, qui ont fait de notre séjour de lune de miel le paradis sur terre !
Le personnel était phénoménal et chaque membre de l'équipe s'est efforcé de rendre notre lune de miel aussi agréable que possible. Tout le monde a été si gentil et attentif, et nous sommes très reconnaissants à Colleen, Barry et à l'ensemble du personnel de service et des guides pour le temps et l'attention qu'ils ont consacrés à s'assurer que nous étions à l'aise et que nous passions un moment inoubliable.
Nous avons séjourné dans la villa en bord de mer et tout y était absolument magnifique : les vues depuis la plage privée et les différents balcons et terrasses, l'aménagement paysager méticuleux, la piscine privée et les chambres spacieuses. Le personnel était également très doué pour créer de magnifiques arrangements floraux pour la villa et de superbes tables fleuries pour chaque repas !
En tant que couple appréciant un mélange d'activités et de détente, nous avons adoré les excursions et les activités disponibles à Taveuni Palms et la facilité avec laquelle il était possible de planifier chacune d'entre elles. Toutes les randonnées, les excursions en bateau et les plongées en apnée que nous avons faites étaient incroyables, et nous avons également apprécié de pouvoir nager et faire de la plongée en apnée directement sur la plage de la villa !
Tout ce que nous avons mangé à Taveuni Palms était absolument délicieux, y compris les fruits frais au petit-déjeuner, les dîners les plus savoureux, les déjeuners bien préparés lors de nos excursions et les desserts incroyables. Mon mari et moi avons des préférences alimentaires différentes, et les chefs ont eu la gentillesse d'intégrer nos deux goûts dans nos repas !
Nous avons passé le meilleur moment à Tavevuni Palms - il nous manque déjà et nous avons hâte de revenir ! Merci à toute l'équipe de Tavevuni Palms pour ce merveilleux séjour !
Il y a deux ans déjà, lorsque nous avons visité Taveuni Palms pour la première fois, nous avons passé, comme cette année, une semaine entière dans la "Horizon view Villa", située sur une falaise surélevée et encadrée par un magnifique jardin tropical, avec vue sur la mer. Lors des traditionnels adieux fidjiens, nous savions déjà que nous retournerions dans ce lieu paradisiaque.
Cette fois encore, nous avons été accueillis comme des membres de la famille dans notre maison, même si ce n'était que pour une semaine, par Colleen, qui gère le Taveuni Palms avec son mari depuis neuf ans, et son équipe. Nous connaissions déjà la plupart du personnel, qui nous a accompagnés dans les règles de l'art à un niveau élevé.
L'espace de vie de notre villa, confortablement équipé d'un grand salon moderne, d'une télévision, de deux grands ventilateurs de plafond, d'une grande table à manger, d'une kitchenette et d'un énorme réfrigérateur, est suivi symétriquement de deux chambres à coucher séparées et climatisées, ainsi que de leurs salles de bains respectives avec douche extérieure, qui peuvent en fait accueillir quatre personnes. Une maison séparée, située un peu plus haut, peut accueillir deux personnes supplémentaires si nécessaire. Dès l'arrivée, les pièces sont abondamment décorées de plantes tropicales fraîches.
L'île de Taveuni a beaucoup d'attractions touristiques à offrir, que le Taveuni Palms, qui dispose non seulement de véhicules à quatre roues motrices avec chauffeur, mais aussi de plusieurs bateaux de différentes tailles, reproduit intégralement. Nous renvoyons ici au compendium de l'établissement.
Il convient de souligner le programme culinaire du Taveuni Palms, qui répond à tous les souhaits. Du petit déjeuner au dîner, en passant par le déjeuner, les souhaits du client sont toujours mis en avant. Les repas peuvent être pris à différents endroits (dans la maison, sur la terrasse au bord de la piscine ou sur le "Bula Deck").
Si l'on considère les distinctions obtenues par le Taveuni Palms ces dernières années, on peut déjà se faire une idée de ce qui attend le client dans le domaine de l'"hospitalité 7 étoiles". Ce qui est tout à fait particulier, et que l'on trouve rarement dans le tourisme haut de gamme, c'est l'atmosphère absolument privée qui donne l'impression d'être chez soi.
Nous sommes totalement convaincus par le concept du Taveuni Palms et nous serions ravis d'y retourner.
Si vous envisagez de vous rendre dans le Pacifique Sud, je vous recommande vivement le Taveuni Palms Resort à Fidji.
We found the following to be truly exceptional:
- The service was friendly, warm and generous. Our friends at Taveuni were accommodating and made us feel at home. Thank you for spoiling us.
- The food is Michelin-like gourmet level and also fresh and healthy with a lot of variety that we didn't get bored and were constantly surprised. We were lucky enough to try some traditional Fijian food that was extremely delicious.
- The accommodation we stayed at (the large villa with jacuzzi) was kept very tidy and clean and the bath linen and bedroom linen was comfortable and spotless.
- The excursions organised by Taveuni Palms were incredible and we had a lot of fun on our trips exploring the beautiful island.
These are the following two things we were mindful of:
- The whole island is incredibly beautiful, including the resort, with stunning views of their lush gardens, beach, sea and neighbouring islands -- the view of the sunset is sublime. However, the resort is close to the airport which means we did hear gun shots a few times a day when the airport have to scare the birds off for landing planes. The small airport is not busy so the planes do not arrive/depart very often. Did it bother me that I wouldn't book their again. Definitely not, I'd love to go back as soon as I can but it's worth mentioning because it did bother my mum.
- We were expecting a more proactive nanny service. We've never had a holiday with a nanny, so we didn't know what to expect. Occasionally our 4-year old would spend time with the nanny but they were short (1.5-2 hours long) and it felt like the staff had other important duties where babysitting wasn't their primary focus. Saying all of this, the staff are wonderful and kind people so we completely trusted them but I was expecting a more dedicated service.
We loved our stay and would rate Taveuni Palms their full five stars. It's a holiday of a lifetime and think this resort is by far the more superior having chatted to other guests who have visited Fiji before and they mention that Taveuni is the best of the best. We agree and hope we will be able to visit in the near future.
The owners Colleen & Barry are the most gracious hosts and their outstanding staff made anything and everything we wanted happen. We were TOTALLY SPOILED during our stay. The food was of gourmet quality and your choices, whatever your preferences (vegan, gluten free, etc), were endless. We never had a repeat dinner! And everything was made fresh daily.
We rented the beach villa which was beyond comfortable, spacious and provided us with our own private beach front access and pool. The resort’s property is a palms oasis boasting the loveliest landscaping that only Fiji provides. We loved how the staff incorporated the plants and flowers inside the villa and table settings.
The villa provided the best views of the Somasoma strait, along with the incredible sunsets and stars at night. We actually saw a clear view of the Milky Way! The resort organized private local tours of the island such as the bird sanctuary, visit to a pearl farm, waterfalls … one of which we were able to swim in. Again, we were totally spoiled and taken care of.
Also, the Fijian people of Taveuni are the warmest and kindest people that we have met. So welcoming, genuine and kind.
Vinaka to everyone at Taveuni Palms Resort!!!
As a keen scuba diver, I can hand on my heart say its the best coral diving I've ever done. Barry is a sensational tour guide around the island and an even better fishing guide. For diving, fishing, surfing, hiking it's a magical place.
I cannot talk highly enough of Taveuni Palms. I'll be trying to get back there for sure. 10 of 10 as far as I'm concerned. Thanks.
First off - the villas. There are only 2 in this entire resort. We stayed in the Horizon Spa Villa and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was a 3 bedroom villa, with multiple decks and levels to enjoy just for the 2 of us. The main level that held our suite had an incredible view of the ocean, but so did the hot tub level above us, the deck below our villa where you can have a meal, the other deck below the main level where you can lay out and soak up the sun, or the lowest level which is beach front, has a beautiful covered bed to lay on and relax with your own private set of stairs where you can walk from your own private beach into the ocean. All of these spaces are completely private where we never saw another human other than the many staff members who wait on you and pamper you constantly!
Secondly - the food and drinks. All of your meals are included and are all prepared by skilled chefs. I unfortunately can’t eat seafood and my husband loves it. That was no problem for the team at Taveuni Palms. Every night they made us completely different meals to both of our liking. Each day for each meal we could choose whatever we wanted any time we wanted and there was no such thing as sticking to the menu or being on a time schedule. We were able to choose any of the many locations in our villa to eat and they decorate the table like a work of art at every meal. The fridge in our huge kitchen was fully stocked with every kind of beer, wine, and champagne we liked and every night our personal printed dinner menu came with a chef’s recommendation for wine. We went with it almost daily and it was the perfect pairing every time. Every day after our excursions we also ordered some Bula drinks, which are the mixed drinks of all sorts that come cold, strong and even the drinks came with a beautiful presentation!
Third - the excursions. There were no crowded tour buses, and no set times that had to be followed. They have many different adventures to choose from and we did a new one every day. But the best part was - we did them all alone! A private driver would take us to a hike, take us to waterfalls, take us to the International Date Line, etc. and we would have the entire place to ourselves. There is nothing quite like hiking through the rainforest as a couple, and then jumping off of waterfalls, swimming in the crystal clear pool at the base of the falls, and then having lunch served to you while you enjoy the entire waterfall alone. I highly recommend doing both the Tovoro Falls in Boama and the Lavena Coastal Walk and Waterfall because even though they are both waterfalls, they are completely different experiences and amazing in their own way. Another favorite excursion of ours was the private day at Viani Bay. They knew we liked fishing so even though it wasn’t normally part of this excursion, the owner Barry and Foray started the day with taking us fishing where we caught a bunch of fish and bloodied the boat! Then they took us snorkeling at Rainbow Reef. After snorkeling, a gorgeous lunch was set up for us on a table made from a tree on a privat beach at Waitatavi where we could snorkel in our own private cove. After snorkeling, a gorgeous lunch was set up for us on a table made from a tree on a private beach in a cove that looked like a movie set!
