Comments	Mostly good. Cabins (Bures) are large, clean, on hillside next to walkways to dive boats and restaurant. Meals were tasty and nutritious. They were included in our package, but menus were handed out at every meal, with prices in Fijian dollars. Desserts often "cost" as much as main meals, and they could be extravagant affairs. The only serious drawback is the lack of an agreement between Fiji Airways (formerly Air Pacific) and most U.S. carriers such as United Airlines. You go from your home port to Los Angeles, then on to Nadi, Fiji. Without a baggage agreement this is considered 2 trips, resulting in more baggage fees. And getting to and from L.A. can be awkward. We arrived in L.A. from Fiji about 1:30 in the afternoon, but were booked on an American Airlines flight to Denver that night. At midnight we were informed that the AA crew decided not to fly, and we were put up in L.A. overnight. We spent more time in L.A. than the flight to/from Fiji. This is not Wananavu's fault, of course, but it becomes just another reason to not go. Too bad.

UW Photo Comments	The crew were respectful of photo equipment and careful in their handling of it. Photo awareness has increased over what it was years ago. No room at the resort was dedicated to photo interests, but none was needed. There was no voltage problem.
