Royal Davui Island Resort - Adults Only

Island Paradise We booked Royal Davui for our 25th wedding anniversary. Two weeks before, however, I broke my ankle which we feared would mess up the whole holiday. Grant was really prompt and clear answering my multitude of questions, and that level of care continued throughout our all our interactions. The transfer to the island was a bit of an adventure when undertaken with accessibility issues, but Chris, Grant,and the team made sure I was safe and quite literally supported me every step of the way. Check in was completed in-room to minimise stress and a cold drink and cold towel were waiting as well. Nor did we miss out on the sung welcome; the first of three times we heard the staff choir and their beautiful harmonies. The included meals were of a very high standard and we were very impressed with the friendliness and care of the staff who delivered our meals to the room. The restaurant experience was also beautiful. We both had massages (which assisted my mobility issues) and my husband was able to fit in a snorkeling adventure, but we mostly just soaked up the gorgeous views and actually had time to talk to each other. The plunge pool on the deck was a real highlight, and the villas are very thoughtfully and tastefully laid out. Chris made it his mission to meet my request for a helicopter out. Highly recommend this, not only for ease of transfer but also the stunning views of the island. Highly recommend, and I hope to return.

The resort is simply the best. With only 16 villas on a beautiful island, you will not feel lost. The Fijian staff have huge hearts and a deep passion for you to have a fabulous stay. Cathy from houskeeping, Va, Matthew, and La in the restaurant, Mere in the spa and Mere at reception, Vincent as guest manage- all the staff, enormous thanks Everything just flows- it seems effortless ( I know a huge amount of work goes iinto this). The villas are beautifully designed in keeping with the island. The food is out of this world. All super fresh- they do not need to say this is from farm-to-table in the menu. David, mixologist extraordinaire, will prepare you his favourite cocktails. There are some great activities- from relaxing with a great spa treatment to hiking on nearby Beqa island, with great guides from one of the local villages. At the end of my hike, we finished with fresh coconut juice from a coconut cut down from the tree by one of the guides. What a way to complete the hike! There is so much more to do including snorkelling and diving. Chris and Grant manage everything seemlessly behind the scenes. Guys, don't give away the secret of how you and your amazing team do such a great job.

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 kindn

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.

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.
