Waimaro Holidays from NZ$1,257

The idyllic island and sandy beach, cheerful staff, relaxing and well appointed accommodations, opportunities for activities and merry-making, and delicious food all make this an exceptional getaway.

A lovely Fijian island tropical resort. The cost of the main transport option to the island was higher than we anticipated but once we were there, it's a great place.

We decided to get away for a honeymoon there, and it was a wonderful couple's destination filled with comfort, activities, care, and even a bit of fandom. A bit of background I didn't know until the staff told me: Mana island is part of the Mamanuca island group where the Survivor series (US) is filmed! There were very few people on the island due to just wrapping up a series. We stayed and had the all-inclusive package, which covered all food, drinks, and most activities. The staff keeps a schedule every day for all meals and the bar along with a set of island hopping they take the villa guests out to. Plus, due to the small number of guests, each activity was dedicated to just one villa, meaning each couple was basically alone for each activity. The activities were snorkeling on various islands for lunch or wrapping up our visit by having a private sand bar island to ourselves to watch the sunset. Most meals were in the main clubhouse where we had our own table, and the staff catered to us providing the daily rotating menu of island goodness. If you wanted a drink, they had a great selection of soda and other bar drinks. There were personal pools for each villa and a pool around the dining area, and each was cool, clear, and comfortable. The paid spa had a great ocean view. The villas had a beautiful oceanfront view. And the staff were so polite and helpful. Definitely recommended!
