Honeymoon of a lifetime!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 6 Jul 2024
My husband and I went for our honeymoon. The resort is beautiful, the staff is kind and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed snorkeling, the spa and all the activities. But it can’t be said enough times how amazing the staff is! We loved every day we were here! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful relaxing time enjoying the hospitality of the Royal Davui family.

We were spoilt from the time we arrived until the time we departed.

Our Villa (16) was perfect with amazing across the lagoon.

The variety of food on offer daily was extensive and delicious.

What an incredibly special place. I am almost not sure where to start, but this is an unforgettable hotel - from the moment you arrive and are greeted by the beautiful voices of the staff and the most delicious lychee iced tea, you are treated like a member of the family. The staff learns your name immediately and they are so friendly and lovely - especially Joe at the bar and Jenny and La. The food was OUTSTANDING - we had stayed at the Sofitel for a few days before Royal Davui and there was simply no comparison. The room was comfortable and beautiful. Do not miss the sand cay and the snorkeling!!!! The weather did not cooperate for the duration of our trip and on our last day the small plane was not able to fly us out. They offered us the helicopter which we took back and it was very outside of my comfort zone but an amazing experience. I cannot say enough good things about this resort - it will live in my memory forever.

Room tip: Make sure you book the sand cay and snorkeling. Do the crab race too!

Just BOOK IT! Royal Davui is the most amazing place we’ve ever visited by a mile! My wife and I travel very often and nothing compares. People always talk about how amazing Fiji is. Of course Fiji is awesome, but we were much more amazed by the resort.

The level of service and attention to detail is incredible. They have literally thought of everything!! The entire time I felt like if I thought of something I needed and put my hand out, it was already there. We were absolutely amazed how such a tiny island could have every amenity imaginable. Umbrellas, beach bags, flash lights, clean drinking water in the room, towels, bug spray, sun screen, aloe, etc.

Owner was there to greet us when we arrived by boat and already knew our names. ALL of the staff were incredible the whole time we were there. Knew our drinks, food, and requests almost before we ordered. They made sure to keep us hydrated with water the whole time, wouldn’t let me get up with empty glasses to get a new drink. Everyone just made sure we were comfortable and relaxed and brought us everything we needed. The second you get close to the pool, someone came to bring towels, made sure the loungers were clean and had pads, checked on us constantly.

Food was far beyond what we expected! I still can’t believe how amazing every single meal was. Plenty enough food, even for me. You certainly won’t go hungry here. Drinks were outstanding as well. We are from New Orleans and I would put these bartenders and chefs right next to any fancy restaurant around. As for the drink prices, it’s no different than a reasonable price at a decent restaurant. I read some reviews about the drink prices being too high. I totally disagree. To have the huge variety and unbelievable quality of drinks, I thought the prices were very fair.

Excursions are a must! Sunset cruise and sandbar picnic were both amazing. Snorkeling just 20 yards off the island provided everything you can possibly see underwater. Our guide was great and made sure to point out everything to be seen.

Last but not least……The owners and staff were some of the nicest and hardest working people we’ve ever met. By just the 2nd day we truly felt like family. By the time we left, we were all hugging and tearing up because we had to leave. Too many names to mention but we remember every single person we met and will never forget how great we were treated.

Coming from the U.S., the travel was very long but absolutely worth it! We were jet lagged very badly and fell asleep early afternoon. The staff even called our room to check on us and made sure we got dinner that night.

We will 100% be visiting again. We can’t wait to see all our new friends again and enjoy this beautiful place! I wish it was closer to us so we could visit more often.

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such an amazing experience at Royal Davui. It's wonderful to know that our level of service, attention to detail, and amenities exceeded your expectations.

Your kind words about our staff and their efforts to ensure your comfort and satisfaction are truly appreciated. We're glad you enjoyed the food, drinks, and excursions, and that you felt like part of our family by the time you left.

Traveling from the U.S. can be a long journey, so we're especially pleased that you found it worth the trip.
Fiji Airways just announced they will be flying out of Dallas, so we're even easier to get to now!
We can't wait to welcome you back and look forward to seeing our new friends again.

I've traveled a lot and this is one of my favorite properties. Christopher and Grant, the owners, have put in beautiful, artful touches throughout and are excellent managers and hosts. With just 16 bungalows it feels a bit like your own private island, but with lovely guests when you want to be with other folks. The food and service is 5-star. Each meal was delectable with dining on a large deck looking out at the ocean under a massive tree, as if you're in a treehouse. The bungalows are lovely with living room and bedroom each opening up onto decks with a plunge pool. The bathrooms are open and huge. The beds are comfortable, but the pillows are to die for - they've been specially made for the Royal Davui! I had a massage which was very nice in a quiet space looking out on the ocean. And we had an amazing experience where we were taken by boat to a private caye about 15 minutes away. The staff brought an umbrella, beach towels, lounge chairs and table along with coolers filled with champagne and breakfast goodies. We were left for 3 hours to have the caye completely to ourselves. What a dream!

We’re glad you enjoyed the intimate atmosphere, touches that we have been working very hard on achviving. It's great to hear you appreciated the food and service, treehouse-like dining, and well-appointed bungalows with comfortable beds and custom-made pillows.

We're pleased you had a relaxing massage and a memorable cay experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for more unforgettable moments.

We just checked out from our weeklong stay and it was exceptional! The staff truly cares about your experience and gets to know you! The resort owners are very hands on and kind, and made sure that we were taken care of when there was an issue in our room that needed attention. In fact, instead of having us wait for maintenance, we were upgraded to a Sunset Villa!

The jetskiing and shark dives were the stars of our stay! The sand cat is also a must!

The food is always amazing and made to order, with a breakfast menu that is truly one of the best I’ve ever had and with lunch and dinner rotating every day to offer you something new. The Komodo is a must try!

We were so sad that the weather wasn’t our friend and forced an early check out on our departure day, but the staff made sure we made it to Nadi well ahead of our flight and avoiding the extremely rough seas forecasted in the afternoon. We would have loved more days with the sun, but everyone made it so wonderful!

Room tip: Book the sand cay excursion well in advance to ensure you get your desired day and time!
