Thank you again to the amazing staff at Likuri Island Resort for welcoming us yet again with your beautiful Bula smiles.
We keep coming back to Likuri Island Resort because of the staff. Year after year we are greeted and treated as family and always made to feel so very special.
From the minute we saw you all at the dock we knew we were back at our Fijian home. Those beautiful smiles always melt my heart.
On arrival we were greeted by the staff with music and joy. At dinner the first night a welcome home cake and even more joyful singing.
We booked an Island bure because we love that 'real' island living style, feeling like a more authentic Fijian experience . We have stayed in these bures before and love them. The outdoor bathroom has always been one of our favourite features and now they have hot showers even better.
On arrival we we're upgraded to a beachfront bure and WOW!! The new beach front bures are amazing. Just a few steps to the beach and beautiful views over the ocean, magic. The outdoor bathroom is more spacious than the island and garden bures but still has the charms of the smaller bures.
As always the food was amazing. As there were only 4 to 6 guests staying on the island while we were there we had a choice of beautiful plated meals, each one delicious. When we were joined by visitors for the shows we enjoyed the amazing lovo buffet dinners. Our breakfast and lunches were always great too.
As house guests we were able to see each show the island put on. Some days we had day trippers and others combo lunch and dinner visitors to share the island and its beauty. Most importantly they were there to share the beautiful dances and fire dance shows that continue to blow our minds every single time!!
The dancers at Likuri Island Resort are undoubtedly the best in the world!! The joy they bring to the dances radiates into the audience and makes us feel a part of the dance. The ladies are so very beautiful and forget twerking, shaking those leaves is a sight that will mesmerise everyone. The men are also something else, their dancing is full of energy and excitement, the machete dancing makes the audience hold their breath and the 'don't try this at home' always makes me giggle.
The show builds up to spectacular fire dancing by both the men and women that is truly amazing and the farewell dance on the beach and it's showers of embers is a sight you will never forget.
We love Likuri Island Resort and we keep coming back because it is a small island that gives us the chance to do nothing and be left in peace and quiet on the deck of our room or swinging in a hammock with the cool ocean breeze lulling you to sleep or if you wish to join in activities you can always do that too. Kayaking, coconut tree climbing, weaving baskets and hats, a guided walk around the island and its medicinal plants, sunset cruises and dancing, snorkelling on the reef, crab racing, fish drive and beach bonfires are all available and make your holiday at Likuri Island Resort one you will always remember.
The island is small and its location means there is no electricity there is a generator runs to provide the energy needed to run the Resort. The generator doesn't run 24 hours a day but you will be asleep when it isn't running so you should not be affected by it. The air-conditioning will turn off late at night but again, you will most likely be sleeping and not even notice.
The meal plan is compulsory and delicious. You don't need to worry about being hungry during the day because you will eat so much of the delicious food at meal times and perhaps won't fit into your clothes anymore.
There is one bar on the island and the drinks are always delicious with prices comparable to other resorts.
For us it's our home away from home. A place we know we will always be well looked after and a place to look forward to visiting again and again.
The staff are more like family to us and we love each and every one of them. Thank you Likuri Island Resort and Robinson Crusoe Island for being 'Our island'
