Reviews for Royal Davui Island Resort
Best vacation of our lives, bucket list experience.
My wife and I celebrated our belated honeymoon at the Royal Davui and had the most amazing vacation of our lives. The staff was incredible in every way, so friendly, kind and professional. We knew everyone by name and they knew our names. We cannot over emphasize how much care and concern the staff put in to making sure that everyone had a wonderful experience. We did the costco package and it was amazing. Here is a list of our experiences (in no particular order): - rooms are incredible, spacious and private. So clean. The views were amazing. - We brought regular "Off" bug spray and it worked just fine. We didn't see one mosquito while we were there - Definitely go to the hermit crab racing! My crab won and it's so much fun - The village visit was really great. Some of the staff grew up in the village and everyone was so kind. The kids on the island asked us specifically for lollipops, which sadly we didn't have. please bring lolipops :) - We did the cooking class and it was so much fun. We learned how to milk a coconut! - We had an amazing visit to the sand cay. We had the whole island to ourselves and I will never forget the experience. - the weather when we went (August 17 - 24) was perfect. Warm but not too hot. - We worked out in their gym everyone morning. It's basic but clean and totally sufficient for light workouts (treadmill, elliptical, basic weights etc) - wifi worked great all over the island. There are no TVs in the rooms. The wifi didn't support streaming or downloading, so I suggest downloading anything you want to watch ahead of time so you'll have access already. - Shampoo, condition and soap were provided (and great). No need to bring your own if you want to save luggage weight - Laundry service is available. Costs extra but still very reasonable. - When we were there, the Fijian dollar was about 2:1 US$. - When you check out, there was a 3.5% charge to use a debit or credit card. - If you pay US cash, they cannot accept bills older than 10 years old due to their bank regulations. Just be mindful of this if you want to pay in US currency - We thought the prices were comparable to the Bay Area. For us they were very reasonable, all things considered (tourist destination, cost of running a beautiful resort on an island, etc). - We eat a vegetarian diet and there were so many incredible options. The food was incredible and we never felt limited I cannot overemphasize how incredible the staff was. I loved learning about their culture and daily lives. The staff lives on the island for a period of time while working and then have a period of time off to be with their family. Many of them have children that they don't see for stretches of time while they are working. I want to encourage everyone to be generous when closing out. Nothing is expected but it is very much appreciated, as the staff will get their bonuses just before Christmas. Of all the beauty and luxury, to me what stands out as the highlight of our trip was the kindness and professionalism of the staff at the resort.

30th Wedding Anniversary
We chose the Royal Davui for our 30th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. The only thing wrong was only having 5 nights. This is one of the best holidays I have experienced. It is the perfect destination for couples who want to experience a bit of luxury, relaxation, snorkelling, and privacy. The staff were amazing, friendly, and focused on meeting guests needs. They were also willing to be flexible to accommodate requests. The food was so amazing, and of a very high standard. The only critique I would have is that my husband and I would have appreciated having access to some quality red wines and found the selection a bit limiting. This did not impact on our enjoyment but it would have been nice to see a wine selection that reflected the same quality of everything else. The island is surrounded by an amazing coral reef and getting to snorkel each day was a highlight for us. We did the outer reef snorkel and night snorkel, and enjoyed this also. The room we had was the sunset villa, and it was stunning. It is really like having a mini home on the island not just a room. The sunsets were amazing, followed by a beautiful starry night sky. We made good use of the plunge pool. It was so private. We chose to come to and from the island by helicopter as we only had 5 nights, and we would do this again. The extra price was worth having more time on the island. We can not wait to return one day.

Perfect choice for a Fiji elopement
We eloped on Royal Davui in October 2024. From the initial contact through to the departing transfer, everything was perfect. Grant and the celebrant arranged all our paperwork with the Fiji Government and Chris put our minds at ease on the big day. Everything went off without a hitch. Regarding the stay itself, our villa was gorgeous and immaculately clean, and we had near absolute privacy from neighbours. The food was consistently better than we have eaten at the priciest restaurants in Australia. Extras (ie alcoholic drinks) were reasonably priced and the bar was well stocked. The Fijian crew who looked after us were very kind (we miss you Matthew!) Thank you to the whole crew for all the extra efforts you made to make our stay so memorable - we will be back one day soon.

Faultless perfection
This was our second stay and it’s still so overwhelming how perfect Royal Davui is. The staff are just so genuine and beautiful people, they truly make Royal Davui the place it is. Once again the meals were outstanding, everyday a new menu to choose from, it’s a great experience to venture outside of your comfort zone with meal choice, you will not be disappointed. If you are heading to Royal Davui ensure you do the Sand Cay as its next level special. Looking forward to returning for our third trip.

Luxury in Paradise - A Tranquil, Private Escape
My husband and I booked a 6-night romance package through Costco and it was so worth it! Costco made it easy with all of the transfers. Our villa was stunning and overlooked the lagoon and the extensive house reef. All-inclusive for meals. The only drinks included were coffee, tea, water. The package included a couples massage (heaven!), and a sand cay picnic which was beautiful and private. We loved the snorkeling, fishing and scuba diving! The shark feeding dive was the most amazing scuba dive of my life and the guides made it very safe. The biodiversity here is incredible with amazing bats and terns! The staff at the resort is wonderful and they make the trip so special! We definitely want to return someday.
