Bula! This is the sixth island we have visited in the Yasawa Islands and is by far the best of them all. There is an ambiance about this place that is hard to capture in words. The Parker family have created a resort that is at once comfortable to be in and at the end impossibly hard to leave. We stayed in a treetop bure with a fabulous view of the ocean. Simple, idyllic, and also kind of private when we need it to be. The food was absolutely delicious and beyond reproach. The one blot was the weather which wasn't perfect, but the staff kept a smile on our faces with their kindness and attentiveness, until the clouds cleared and the sun came out. Frankly the staff are the best thing about this resort and what make it stand out from all the other island paradises. I do not think I have met a nicer bunch of people, from Nancy and the other girls in the office, Lagi, Tui, Wilson & Barman George in the restaurant tolerating my lousy attempts to speak Fijian, the wonderful hands of masseur Lewu, to the expertise of the boathouse boys Nem, Moses and Vilimoni idulging me with my requests for certain types of snorkel sites. Last, but not least, I have to mention the musical talents of Sunia and Uria who sang till their throats were sore, morning noon and night, helping create that ambience I referred to earlier. I especially liked the cava ceremony (also hosted by Sunia), which was made special by most of the staff attending (apart from those still working). These islanders created a sense of community that Kelly and I were happy and flattered to be allowed to join, if only temporarily. Sota Tale PS Fish pictures requested by Nem posted below.
