Coconut Beach Resort

可能是因為3月雨季是淡季的原因，整個酒店前兩天就衹入住了我們一家人，感覺那麼多員工衹服務我們三個人太奢侈了！這裏的每一個員工都很善良親熱，沒想到他們每個人都又能歌善舞，這實在是VIP的感覺！大堂東南200米處就是一片面積很大的珊瑚羣（之前選擇這家酒店的原因就是自家的珊瑚羣漂亮），的確是甩主島的洲際酒店的珊瑚好幾條街！個人覺得這裏的珊瑚是僅次於馬爾代夫的，令人驚訝的是海水的温度，體感的確超過30度（後經老闆娘證實），完全是一種泡温泉的感覺，加之海水清澈見底，浮潛時完全是在一個天然的無邊温泉浴缸裏暢遊的感覺，個人覺得珊瑚羣中nemo的密度決定着珊瑚羣的等級（總感覺nemo對水質水紋條件要求比較高，很多熱帶國家的海域都看不到），而這裏的珊瑚羣nemo家族密度相當高，記得最大的一個nemo家庭目測居然有20隻左右呢。強烈推薦，一定讓你不虛此行！注意一點：酒店任何地方都是沒有空調的，晚上風扇房間肯定不熱，但白天出太陽時房間內會有些小熱（不過白天應該大部分時間都不會在房間滯留的）。

My 6 days and nights at Coconut Beach were honestly some of the best days of my (long) life! From the moment we were met on the small boat at the Yasawa Flyer by Abo and Josh to the beautiful welcome song and amazing lunch we were served upon arrival to the cheerful greetings from the staff as I made myself at home at the resort, I knew that CBR was someplace truly special. The beach is gorgeous and peaceful, the marine reserve is stunning, the PADI dive center led by Lou and Kesia was fabulous and the food and bure were amazing. I can't wait to go back. i truly felt like I was among family. The activities are amazing and welcoming. If you are looking for a beautiful beach, top notch snorkeling and diving, great food and an attentive and welcoming staff, look no further!

I am a bit tardy in writing this review, but we had a fabulous time at Coconut Beach resort. From the minute we arrived, all the staff seemed to know your name and remember it. I had some food allergies and they were always on top of that, offering me a substitute. The bures were roomy with ventilation on all sides so you could enjoy the night breeze, or close them all up if you wanted. I loved the bathroom, also very large, outside, but the sink and toilet area had a roof to protect it from any rain. It was lovely to take a shower with the palm trees and sky above you. There is a combination of free and fee based activities. It was hard to choose as I wanted to do it all. You can snorkel right off the resort at their reserve, but have other spots close by to snorkel. The staff sang at most meals, and when anyone arrived or departed. The resort only has 11 bures, so it was fun to get to know the other guests. There were so many cultural activities that really gave you the flavor of the Fijian culture. (Saturday evening performance, kava ceremony, visiting a village and school.) We enjoyed the cave excursion. (If you do that one, take some cash to buy handicrafts. They had a great variety and very reasonable prices there.) I was so busy doing other stuff I never had a chance to take out the kayaks or paddle boards. The food was plentiful and a variety. (My favorite was the Fijian fish ceviche called Kokoda, could have eaten that every day.) There weren't a lot of salads, but being 4 hours away from the mainland by ferry probably has something to do with it. The staff is quite willing to alter something for your tastes, if you only ask. They also recognized birthdays and anniversaries with a cake and a serenade by the staff. The only downside to the resort is the wind, as others have mentioned. (But it makes for great sleeping temperatures.) We had a couple very windy days where you would not have wanted to lounge by the front of the resort, but they would move some of the lounge chairs to another side of the beach out of the wind. They also arranged to take a boat to a more sheltered reef on a windy day for people that wanted it. It was supposed to be rainy season, but we only had a light sprinkle for a very short time on one day. Also, Sheung, the manager or owner, was super responsive before our trip answering every question, and arranging all our transportation. We opted for a helicopter transport one way, as the timing of our flights didn't work with the ferry. It was a bit more expensive, but worked out really well and was a cool way to see the islands from above. We took the ferry back, and enjoyed seeing other islands. The resort was great, but the staff is exceptional, and we will cherish our memories from Coconut beach forever.
