To describe it in one word: picture- perfect. Waking up in a wonderful bure with nothing but the sound of the ocean wonderful. And so is the staff. Caring, considerate and always happy to help you. Not to mention the food: traditional Fijian-style food cooked with loads of love. Even plentiful breakfast with fresh cut fruits such as coconut and... More

As Fiji residents we've seen our share of resorts, and were excited to try out Papageno for the Christmas holiday. Because of Cyclone Evan the resort stayed closed until Dec. 26, so our visit ended up being over New Years instead. What we loved: The location is wonderful for its scenery and remote feel. There are at least six kayaks... More

Apologies for the late review as our stay was back in June. This place is exactly my idea of paradise, a true 'get-away-from-it-all' experience. The setting is gorgeous: a very pretty (and isolated) beach, tall palms, attractive bures, beautiful gardens, and a small uninhabited island a short kayak trip away. There is a small, beautiful waterfall a short hike from... More

Papageno is a tranquil, private piece of heaven in one of the most amazing, and truly undeveloped areas of the world. From the moment they pick you up (by boat) at the airport in Kadavu, you are treated like you are the most important guest in the world. The housing is beautiful, yet still rustic enough to fit in with... More

The most memorable thing about this place was the food. Really delicious dishes and something completely different everyday. Having found the food in the Pacific underwhelming, this was a revelation, and most of it was grown on the resort. Once I've said that was the most memorable thing, then I think that perhaps the journey - walking off the end... More

Papageno is no Hilton or Holiday Inn. It is a completely different class of experince. Intimate and secluded it is that romantic personal paradise you might not think still exists. Yes the developed world's comforts are all here; great clean accommodations (steps from the private beach) comfy beds, flush toilets, hot showers and limited electicity - but all on a... More

My first visit to Kadavu was to be with friends for a few days - they set off on pre-arranged travel and I stayed 10 more days. Not a commercialized tourist attraction. No malls, no shopping of any kind, no restaurants, no TV, no plastic tourist gimmicks. Bring everything you will need as you will not be able to purchase... More

From the second you arrive by open air boat, you can tell this isn’t your average resort. And if it is kids clubs, in-house movies, room service and horizon pools you are after then Papageno will bitterly disappoint; save yourself the small plane ride and head to the Intercontinental or Danaru island. Instead, prepare for a tranquil experience where you... More

My husband and I spent 10 days here for our Honeymoon. Best decision we've made so far! We had researched different islands in Fiji and decided on Kadavu because of its remote location, and its laid-back lifestyle. We didn't want to be surrounded by partying and lots of people. We got just what we hoped for and MORE at Papageno!... More
