We spent 8 nights at Coconut Grove on beautiful Taveuni in November 2023. The resort has a beautiful setting with a well-kept garden with flowers in all colors, a beach during low tide, and several small islands in view of the resort. The property has three bures and a restaurant and gift shop on about 1/2 acre of tropical grounds. The restaurant offers wonderful meals with good variety, including great curries. They also have plates of tropical fruits, which I enjoyed every day. The ladies preparing the food and taking care of everything else on the property are fun to be with and never tire of answering questions about the island and its people. They are kind and happy and full of energy. Serah is one of the nicest people I have ever met. The ladies also arrange tours and have several reliable drivers. We really liked our driver Sam, who was funny and informative about Fijian culture. Taveuni is incredible tropical, and the jungle hikes are not to be missed. We did the Lavena coastal walk, which is stunning. Too much rain prevented us from doing other hikes, as the roads and trails can become unpassable when there is too much water. The snorkeling at honeymoon island and the other small islands is great and we went several times, mostly by kayak. I also enjoyed the snorkeling right from shore with its seagrass ecology, green tube sponges, many types of sea cucumbers and urchins, and lots of small fish at every small area of live coral. The resort felt so peaceful and was a great pick for our stay on Taveuni.
