Romantic Honeymoon Getaway to Fiji
 Teresa,
We would like to say "Vinaka" or thank you
from the bottom of our hearts for helping us achieve
such a wonderful, memorable honeymoon. Royal Davui
was beyond superb and words cannot describe
the honeymoon villa. From start to finish, the trip
was smooth, just
like you said "no
worries." We can't wait for our next trip, hopefully
before the kids come, and of course we will be
using your services.
Again a big Vinaka in making our honeymoon dreams
come true.
Romantic Getaway to Maui
Aloha Teresa,
Ah Maui, we are still enjoying our many dreamy memories
of the trip you booked for us—it was just wonderful!
Your recommendation of staying at the Lahaina
Shores Beach Resort was exactly what we wanted. We were truly
right on the beach! Our huge balcony was ideal for watching
sunsets. And placing us in a room overlooking the neighboring
nightly luau brought that extra special touch. It didn't
take long for us to slip into “island time.”
From the drives around west Maui and the road to Hana,
to viewing the sunrise from Haleakala, we got a thrill
out of exploring the island. Coming from rainy Seattle,
having a Jeep for the week was a trip highlight. The
snorkeling was incredible, too! Our favorite
vibrant fish areas were Napili Bay, Honolua Bay, and down near
Big Beach at the vast lava fields.
Thank you again. Not having to worry about any of our
travel details really allowed us to relax, soak up the
sun, and enjoy our many delightful adventures. As for
condo supplies, I have one word: Costco! We were able
to enjoy our kitchen to the fullest by preparing delicious
fresh fish every day—the gigantic Mai Tai mix was
a super find too.
We appreciate your help with our trip--you really thought
of it all!
Mahalo,
Samantha & Mark

Matamanoa, A Fiji Island Honeymoon
Teresa,
Sorry it’s taken so long to send this, but thank
you very much for helping us plan our amazing honeymoon
to Matamanoa in Fiji. It was an incredible trip! The
helicopter ride to the island was breathtaking and a
great beginning to our week in Fiji. Matamanoa
was perfect for the type of honeymoon we were interested in: nice
beaches, great nearby snorkeling, spacious bures, friendly
staff, and plenty of privacy (a small island with only
one small resort ensure that). It was a great opportunity
to relax after our wedding and we’d love to go
back someday.
Thanks again for your help and I’ve attached some
pictures from our trip,
Jeff and Kate

Maravu Plantation Resort & Matamanoa
Resort, Fiji
Hello,
Holly
and I absolutely loved our Fijian honeymoon and
really hope that we'll be able to do it again someday!
All of the people we met were so friendly. We
were surprised and extremely pleased at how open the
Fijian people were in sharing their rich and intriguing
culture. Matamanoa was a perfect fit for us. There
was always something to do and the atmosphere was relaxed.
It was also nice to be able to eat as much as we wanted
(and in whatever
order... we would often bookend our meals with dessert!).
Again,
thank you so much for planning the honeymoon
of our dreams!! We will definitely encourage people
to seek your help if they decide to make a similar trip.

Cayo Espanto Island Resort, Belize
 Thank
you for a FABULOUS trip that is truly unlike
any other. We are ultimately spoiled from the gourmet
food coming any time of the day to all day long... there
was no time to get hungry - (the food looked like fine
art)... to the chilled towels and frozen drink order
that was called in ahead waiting for you when you arrive
from an excursion, to iced beer waiting on your private
dock. We got personal with the chefs... only leading
them to spoil us more. I have always said that there
are too many places to go to repeat any, BUT THIS
IS SUCH A UNIQUE PLACE with privacy, attentive service
(only when you call so you are not bothered) and the
only vacation where time was at its PURIST...
we rested like no other vacation. We enjoyed each other...
simply everything around was just beautiful... no noise
- I would definitely go again. This is the perfect
place for troubled couples to find love again... or
just couples who are already in love to keep the
love flowing. IT WAS AMAZINGLY AWESOME!
THANK YOU TERESA!

Hey Teresa,
|

Yes, Fiji was fantastic. I cant quite pick
the favorite experience, but I certainly had many
this is great while sitting in our
beach chairs, listening to the ocean, and drinking
some wine...
Vinaka,

Tokoriki Island & Crusoes Retreat
Bula!!!
I'm sorry that I didn't email you right away when I
got home but it took me awhile to get off of Fiji Time.
Let me just say that the trip was amazing!

Crusoe's Retreat was great...the people were friendly
and most of the guests were from other countries so
we were able to make friends from all over the world.
Bryan learned to scuba dive and went out that
same day and dove with sharks. We took a day trip from
Navua where we boarded boats and went up river to a
village. We had lunch there as well as a traditional
kava ceremony and then went even further up river
to a waterfall where we were able to swim at the
bottom of the falls. For part of the river trip
on the way back we took bamboo rafts. I cannot
recommend this trip enough.
Tokoriki was awesome!!!! Like you said, it was the
perfect way to end the trip. The staff were so friendly
that I wanted to take them all home with me. The food
was great too. Words cannot even describe Tokoriki so
I won't even try. I would recommend it to anyone. It
is the ultimate in relaxation.
Teresa, you could not have planned a more perfect
vacation for me and Bryan. You listened to everything
that I wanted and needed from my vacation and you were
able to give it to me. We had absolutely no problems
with any of the arrangements. Our cars were always there
when they were scheduled to be and they were great if
I needed to change the schedule. The worst part of the
whole vacation was having to go home. If we didn't have
two dogs and two cats watiting for us back at home we
probably culd have stayed forever.
Thank you so much for everything. I will definitely
pass your name onto everyone that is interested in a
trip like this. We'll be calling you when we need to
make arrangements for Hawaii and Tahiti which probably
won't be until next year sometime. I'll do my best to
not make it so last minute as this trip was. I just
wish that you could do all of my travel arrangements.
Thanks!

Namale & Yasawa
Bula, Bula, Bula...
Oh
my gosh, that was an experience of a lifetime!! Namale
was amazing. During the tour of the property we were
in such awe. Every step took us to another
unbelievable sight. Just as you thought nothing can
beat this, the next step proved you wrong. Our entire
vacation was one soul touching experience after
another.
The
people at Namale are so genuine. The wedding was so
simple yet so grand. The waterfall was beautiful.
The Fijian choir
oh my gosh, the Fijian choir
I was frozen just taking the sounds in.
I told John that I felt that what made the entire
trip so special was that we got to experience a
totally different culture without it being commercialized.
It was so authentic. As I sit back now at home the
memories constantly flow across my mind and I realize
that what made it so special was the experience of
being along side watching them live in their culture
while we were still living in ours. And all was respected.
The
Yasawa islands are also so amazing. We got to fly
in on the sea plane!! What a ride. Spectacular views.
We had a picnic on our own private island,
went scuba diving, lots of snorkeling, went to church
in the village on Palm Sunday and went explore the
Blue Lagoon caves before leaving out on Tuesday. Oh
and youre right about the massages
Yasawas
massages were great!!
At
Namale we thought wed go on a dive or
two but fell in love and now five dives later we are
certified divers. One rainy day at low tide we threw
on our rain jackets and went exploring the reefs.
We started at the beach and went all the way around
to the blow hole and had so much fun playing
in it. We went horse back riding through the
village and up the mountain and once at the top Mosese
(the guide) said a prayer for us and then sang for
us. Unbelievable. We toured the village, went
to mass there, spent some time in the town, went diving
at Cousteau, had numerous picnics, got
a dual massage, experienced numerous Kava ceremonies,
lots of walks, played at the Kava Bowl and were entertained
numerous times by the people from the village.
Oh and the food at Namale is excellent. Being from
Cajun country we went out the night before we left
to get our fill of good seafood before leaving. We
have it so good here and are so often disappointed
by the food elsewhere. Namales food was simple
and sooo delicious.
Many Vinakas for your help Teresa. It was great!!

Maui
Aloha!
We
did have a wonderful time and yes, we were very
fortunate to miss the rains. Thank you so much
for arranging everything. We are very relaxed now and
are having a tough time getting back into the swing
of things here but that's a good thing.
By the way, we thought the Renaissance was great; more
intimate compared to the other hotels, well-maintained,
nice sized rooms and good food.

Thanks again.

Bula,
It
was incredible! We had the best time in Yasawa.
It was a fabulous honeymoon which we will never forget.
We had no issues whatsoever and were impressed with
the resort. I travel a lot, so it is definitely saying
a lot if I have nothing but good reviews. Thanks
so much for taking care of our honeymoon plans!! We
will recommend you to our friends as they marry or vacation.
Vinaka!!!!!!!

Wadigi/Yasawa
Bula,
Your assumption was correct. Our trip truly exceeded
our expectations (which were pretty darn high!).
We had a
ball at Wadigi. Ross is such a character and Jeni's
enthusiasm was wonderful - they both made us feel totally
welcome and pampered. Our wedding was just lovely -
intimate, relaxed and romantic. We couldn't have
asked for more. Even getting to Wadigi was fabulous.
We loved the helicopter ride. Seeing all those islands
scattered around us in every direction was phenomenal.
And the dramatic landing on that helipad with the whole
staff waving and welcoming us. What can I say? It
was perfect.
And Yasawa. You were right. That white sand beach, with
the lush mountains, and
turquoise water crashing onto black rocks, was breathtaking.
We loved our luxurious bure and the wonderful food and
hospitality there.
We are very grateful for all of your recommendations
and help making this trip a reality. Your knowledge,
patience and professionalism were appreciated more than
I can say. Thanks so much for everything.
We would recommend you without hesitation to anyone
planning a Fiji adventure. You couldn't help but
be a success.
Thanks again for everything. Vinaka vaka levu.
Fondly,
|

Qamea
|
Bula,
Just a quick note to thank you for picking
Qamea for our latest vacation. A place we will definately
return to in the near future. Everything was fabulous,
the staff, food, accommodations and the diving. Linda
had massages every day.
Vinaka,

Bula,
Truly a "honey moon" and seeing two islands
was perfect, they are so different. We fell in love
with Fiji people. They are so joyous in spirit and sincere.
We snorkeled every day and it was a first for both of
us. We are fish. What beauty and fun in a beautiful
place. Honeymoon Island is where we spelled our names,
thanks to you, on the beach in shells.

Turtle Island
October 2003
Vinaka and...
...thank you,
thank you and thank you again
for
your wonderful suggestion that my husband and I spend our
47th wedding anniversary on Turtle Island. The
trip was fantastic and we did have a wonderful
vacation. Imagine a private beach with picnic basket
tucked full of lobster and champagne and a hammock
for two... it doesn't get any better! My husband had a fishing
trip and I slept in. Next a tour of the island with a visit
to the private school then snorkeling and swimming on a white
beach. Yes it was all that we wanted it to be and more.

I am wondering about the 50th, do you suppose?
Thank you again,

Yasawa
Bula,
We had the most amazing time we could imagine!!! Yasawa
was amazing in every way, the water was so beautiful,
the air was so clean, the beaches so soft and the best surprise
of all was the people, the nicest most sincere people in the
world!!! We could not get over and
still haven't how genuinely wonderful they are, what an amazing
culture and spirit they have in Fiji! I guess this is the
best way I could sum it up...we had very high expectations
and they were exceeded beyond what we could imagine!!! :)
Thank you so much for the careful planning and the follow
up and follow thru to make sure our honeymoon was everything
it should be. We can't wait to save enough money to go
back again someday. Also I have been passing your name to
several people I know; Some are newlyweds-to-be and some are
just travelers looking for the next great vacation.
Vinaka,
