Royal Davui Island Resort

Wife and I returned from 7-night stay at Royal Davui Island Resort. Maximum stars allowed across all criteria at this adult only island. Spacious but cozy villas with plunge pool. Decadent food and mixology. Relaxing, professional spa services. Attentive butlers and room service. Expansive resort activity menu including scuba diving. But you can find these qualities at most high-end resorts. The Royal Davui Island competitive advantage is its people. From reception to kitchen to wait staff to porters to activity desk to spa services everyone knew our name from the first day and greeted us with a sincere smile. We've been very lucky to have traveled the globe and never before witnessed this kind of attention to personal detail consistent every day through all resort activities. This is the place to be in Fiji if you're looking to be pampered in a private villa with breath-taking ocean views, served gourmet meals, and enjoy lounging in the sun, fishing, snorkeling/scuba on a small private island. To Paul, Su, David, Pex, Joe, Iliesa, Nimi, Vincent, La, Mela, Iva, Lydia, Meme (x 2), and Lo. We already miss you! Much love to you all! (Travel Tip - Charter the private helicopter from Nadi).

A little late getting this review up...but after some recent "all inclusive" stays elsewhere, I had to highlight how amazing this experience was. Of course, the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies, as our more recent resorts were levels below this one. Anticipation started while waiting at the airport in Nadi. The puddle jumper across the island to Nanuku Aerodrome revealed vast jungle and sparse settlements. Small plane...small airstrip...so some may want a few pulls from their alcohol stash before departing! The ensuing boat ride enhanced the anticipation as the tiny speck grew as you drew closer to Beqa Island. Pulling up to the dock, you're struck by how remote and private your island accommodations are. Greeted by the hosts and staff in chorus, you know you've made the right choice! The anticipation doesn't ebb as you make your way to a private bungalow. Everything feels private on the island and once you take in your accommodations, deck and view, relaxation from your long journey is finally at hand. Food is top notch at every sitting. While it may take a little while to run the courses, you wont be disappointed. Choices from a mix of international and local cuisine provide unique flavors you wish you could take home. As the inclusivity does not extend to alcohol, you might consider picking up wine and liquor at the duty free. Just be cognizant of weight limitations if flying across the island. Of course, they also have a full bar and can provide if you like. Nice list of facilitated activities. If weather cooperates, the sand bar and snorkeling are great. The Beqa Island hike was a bit of a let down, resembling more of a stroll. Final thoughts on the trip. Such a long hall from the US, we flew through Brisbane each way. On the way back, we extended our layover a couple days in a wonderful river city. Make sure to submit the appropriate immigration documents in advance if you do the same.

I would give this resort 10 stars if I could. My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the hospitality and beauty of the resort. Everyone who works at Royal Davui is so incredibly kind and by the end of the trip you are so sad to leave. The food here was so delicious and fresh! The chef did a very good job of keeping all of the meals different and interesting even though we were here for a week and ate breakfast lunch and dinner at the resort every day. The resort also does an amazing job of offering different activities and events. We only left a week ago and are already itching to get back!

The Davui island and its resort are an absolute treasure with great organisation and service, very well designed rooms and common areas. The pool area is beautifully fitted in and the beach is pristine. Food was excellent and staff extremely nice and well trained. We have been to two other places while in Fiji and the Davui was the absolute highlight. Only thing that could be refined is the turndown service which should not be purely a closing of the curtains but a bit more tidying up of the room.

We do at least two family trips every year and always go for an island vacation in December. We have been to Tahiti and the Maldives a couple of times and decided to try Fiji. I rely on TripAdvisor reviews and was not disappointed. The hotel organized a short transfer flight from Nadi airport to a harbor and then we got on to a speedboat to take us to this remote island paradise. We had a rousing welcome reception and got two adjacent villas. Our Villa had access to a lovely private beach. The whole island is just 10 acres, with only 16 villas and beautifully laid out. The staff is extremely courteous and within a day addressed us by our names. We are vegetarian and are typically apprehensive about the food, but this place was an exception. We were able to select breakfast lunch and dinner items to our satisfaction. Every member of the staff was friendly and courteous. The diving, snorkeling and other activities were seamlessly organized. The sunset cruise were simply fabulous. The highlight of our trip was a lunch on a private Sandy Cay” a private strip of land 10 minutes away from our remote island. The 2 1/2 hours we spent there was surreal. A big shout out to Chris, Grant and the entire team. Our best Island vacation ever. Plan to take the helicopter over next time. We found paradise. We will definitely come back!
