Our Family group of 12, 70 years old down to 4 years old, have just returned home from a wonderful week on Navini Island. All of us were very sorry to leave, especially the children. Their new Fijian friends who took care of them and played with them after children's dinner hour were loved by the children and will be missed.
All of us had a fantastic time on the snorkeling trips with life jackets and swim noodles available for weaker swimmers. The reef around the island was also great, the coral is recovering from cyclone damage and there are lots of fish, shells, little sharks and turtles to see and not too many sea lice.
Some of the family have food allergies and intolerances which were very well catered for, nothing was too much trouble. All the meals were great, a little big for some of us. The tropical fruit platters were yummy. The most delicious birthday cake was made for us as 3 of the males had birthdays in the week we arrived on Navini, and the guitar playing and singing for the birthday boys was a lovely touch we all appreciated.
Free use of kayaks, sail boat, snorkel equipment, paddle boards was a treat which we all enjoyed. There were plenty for everyone to use without a time limit.
After dinner we were usually too tired from the sea and sun to join the local board game, apart from one or two of us on the last night.
All of us felt very safe here and none of us ever thought of locking our rooms. My doors were wide open all the time, apart from when I was sleeping at night. I have never felt like that on holiday before, truly a treat.
All of us are planning to return, it was the most wonderful holiday in a beautiful safe place with beautiful people there to look after us.
