Comments We have been to Fiji 5 times and our first time to Volivoli (previous trips to Wananavu now closed). The resort was wonderful. We had a Premium Ocean view and it was beautiful. Full refrigerator. Food was excellent. The resort is on a hill, so lots of walking. The staff is amazing. Many old friends from Wananavu. Always smiling and calling you by name from Day 1.

The diving was somewhat disappointing from our previous visits. I don't know if it was time of year. Our previous visits were in April. We got out to Bligh about 8 times in 3 weeks. Visibility was not that great. Ra divers are great and very helpful. Exiting the boat, they took your BCD and fins before climbing the ladder.

We stopped in Tavua on the way in and picked up beer and soda.
