We left Auckland on the 9:30 flight to Nadi, off the plane, straight onto the helicopter ,whisked to Paradise Cove and we were sitting down to the first incredible meal before 2pm. No staying overnight in Nadi and catching the boat for a 3hour trip next day. Definitely the only way to go-worth the extra to avoid the hassles that we normally have to suffer. We stayed in the COVE, which suited us fine. Bungalows set out in beautiful gardens with many secluded seating areas. Great for a pre-dinner drink after a day on the beach. We were there for our own celebration of our Golden Wedding and the management and staff did us proud, making it a very memorable evening. We stayed seven nights and loved every minute.Our first visit to Fiji, no wish to visit any other resorts as Paradise Cove met all our needs. Read the other reviews to find out about the snorkelling etc. (Nobody I talked to was disappointed). For us ,the highlights were the FOOD - the best we have had on holiday, ever . Also the visit to the village of So-So for the church service on Sunday.
