Comments Resort is very nice ( landscaping is beautiful, pool too). But rooms start to need little tlc like wood stain. Restaurant is nice with beautiful view , but not as nice as Voli Voli next door. Food was very good with prices between 10 and 20 US $ per main course. Staff mostly borderline ( especially coming from paradise Taveuni). Front desk made you feel like you were checking in Alcatraz , staff taking orders at restaurant had the least patience l had ever seen ( and I am French used to French waiters ) . Drive to Raki Raki is an eye opener. Had to check Udre Udre’s tomb because of his story. Diving : material was ok except leaking o ring that was never changed and reset on gear; boat is in good shape and confortable only 5 divers per trip. Managing staff not much around when you needed them. Local underwater guide (Jess and Sammy ) great at finding macro ( nudis, flat worms ,leaf scorpion fish , ghost (?) shrimp.. White tip sharks on every dive. And the hard and soft coral is out of this world !! But no tail dive guide which became a problem when two divers were separated from the rest in current while 2 crew were on the boat busy stealing 200 US$ from my wallet and going through the bag of another diver while the boat ladder was up preventing the 2 separated divers to go back on the boat . Dive shop manager wasn’t on site when we went to report. His answer to our email was to just question the veracity of our story, without apologizing ! !!
