John & Helen - Australia 23rd visit
RETURNING TO PARADISE
My wife Helen and I returned to Tokoriki Island Resort for our 23rd visit in May. "Why 23 times?" you might ask. We travel a lot all over the world and some years ago we happened upon Tokoriki Island Resort and just fell in love with it. I remember sitting outside our beachfront bure on our first night enjoying a cocktail and looking out across the sea at the sunset and saying "This is Paradise". Since then the resort has continually been improved, upgraded and made even more beautiful. But it has never lost it incomparable friendliness and welcome - as the locals say "Welcome home" - and it truly is our home away from home and our chance to veg out in luxurious surrounding every year - sometimes more.
I have to admit we are particularly choosy abut where we stay when away from home and always stay at 5 star hotels. But in a place like Fiji, we want the mix of quality but also want to be in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the famous Fijian hospitality. Tokoriki has been able to find that balance perfectly
The accommodation is Fijian style and quite luxurious. We usually stay in one of the Beachfront Pool Villas which are fabulous with separate bedroom and living room, large deck with a day bed and plunge pool right on the beach overlooking the sea.
The staff, many of whom reside on the neighboring island of Yanuya are so welcoming and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. We are terribly spoilt.
The Resort is set amongst spectacular gardens and beautiful white sand beaches. The food is excellent under the direction of Chef Thomas and his team.
We have certainly visited other luxury island resorts in the region and around the world, but nothing can match the Tokoriki atmosphere and warmth. The owners the Turnbull family, and managers Robert and Patrice are incredibly attentive and committed to maintaining high standards and making sure that guests enjoy a memorable experience at the resort.
I enjoy scuba diving and have dived at various places around Fiji and elsewhere. But I do most of my diving at Tokoriki Resort where the Dive shop operated by Will Wragg and Alex Garland is as good as it gets. Their attention to detail, organisation and planning is meticulous. The dive equipment is first class and regularly renewed. Their team of dive masters and drivers etc are fantastic and a lot of fun - Kale, Save, Sam, Epeli and Joe are all very professional and make for a fun and safe diving experience. The diving is relaxed an easy due to the professionalism of the Tokoriki dive team. There are many spectacular dive sights close by and always plenty to see.
No question - we will be returning to Tokoriki Island Resort for our 24th visit very soon!

FIJI INDULGENCE
A perfect stay in the most beautiful place.
We have discovered a most lovely gem in Fiji after many Fijian holidays.
We could not have asked for anything more for an idyllic stay, Bure was perfect, service faultless and always very welcoming.
Food and drink were top notch.
Already thinking of going back!

TOKORIKI ISLAND RESORT IS #1 IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC FOR MANY REASONS! IT'S TRULY PARADISE.
If you are looking for a personalized, luxurious, amazing vacation...Tokoriki is your best bet. The diving was divine, the food was absolutely amazing, the snorkeling off the shore was fabulous, the bures were completely comfortable and private, and the guest services staff was absolutely the best.
We are senior divers, and our dive staff was excellent. Will's Dive Shop responded to all of my pre-trip requests, and the dive staff provided us with personalized diving agendas. Save (pronounced Sah'-vey) made sure we were safe, comfortable, and that we had excellent new equipment for each of our dives. They worked with us to have a dive schedule/profile that we were very comfortable with. For many of our dives we had our own divemaster. The reefs are so healthy - you won't believe the colors of the coral - and we enjoyed morning diving and the afternoon snorkeling boat trips. My husband requested the larger tanks for our dives and the dive shop was able to provide him with those. You must see the giant clams!!
We opted for the speedboat transfers to Tokoriki Island rather than the helicopter transfers. The food was amazing. The menus featured fresh island fare and the flavors were so good. I never knew I loved fresh carrot and turmeric breakfast juice!
The infinity pool provided incredible sunset views. Our bure had a private plunge pool and a wonderful private outdoor shower. We loved the private hammock under the trees and our private path to the beach! The beds and pillows were perfect!
If you are looking for the number one destination in the South Pacific, you are looking for Tokoriki Island Resort. You'll be greeted by name when you arrive, and you'll be greeted by name throughout your stay. Vincent was an excellent host, and the rest of the attendants provided all the personalized treatment we could have imagined. The entire resort has only 36 bures, so the resort never has more than 72 guests. We most highly recommend Tokoriki Island Resort, and we are already planning our next trip!

BEAUTIFULLY RELAXING AND INDULGENT
Our second time at Tokoriki and it was just as special as the first. Can't fault this place - absolutely stunning staff, great food, some really well designed short excursions and lots and lots of relaxation. Their first words are "welcome home" and it really feels like home - minus the chores, work and stress. Just lovely, lovely people.

PERFECT HONEYMOON CHOICE
Just magical. We booked Tokoriki Island Resort for our honeymoon as we wanted a bit of luxury, a lot of relaxation and adults only, Tokoriki resort did not let us down. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such a personalised service. The service throughout was exceptional and the attention to detail second to none. All the wonderful staff knew our names, dietaries were remembered and catered for without question, overall we felt very special. Plus the food was amazing, a good variety to choose from each day and so delicious. I cannot recommend Tokoriki Island Resort enough.
