Comments	Beautifully constructed resort with excellent food and accommodating staff contributed to a delightfully relaxing experience. Resort management by owners Allan and Terri Gortin was unparalleled in our experience. Well-run dive operation with timely boat departures. We dived Rainbow Reef four of our six dive days. Boat rides approx. 35 minutes from resort to dive sites. On one choppy day, we could not get to Rainbow, and dived good shore sites along Taveuni. Reefs for the most parts in excellent shape. A couple of dive sites showed weather damage, but for the most part, corals and fans are remarkable. Our overall impression, though, is that the hard corals are not as spectacular as on the north coast of Viti Levu. Clouds of reef fish on sites like Fish Factory and White Wall are flourishing, as we have not seen in years, even in the Coral Triangle
