All we can say is that Fiji was a dream come true. My wife and I were married on the sandy beach in front of Coconut Grove. It was at sunset and the staff treated us like we were their only concern in the world. It was magical.

When we first arrived to Fiji, we did not know what to expect, being that it was our first time in the South Pacific. Ronna (the owner) greeted us with a friendly smile and a team of smiling faces behind her to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Right away, our unknown travel jitters were replaced with comfort and relaxation.

My parents arrived the next day, and we were married two days later. The staff will impress you with their knowledge of the food they serve, and the unique time and patience that they use to decorate with foliage and flowers. They grow their vegetables in a garden (which we highly recommend taking the tour) so you can taste the freshness in the meals they prepare.

With the staff feeding us so well, and the comfort being such a wonderful experience, we parted after five days, only to return to visit the staff during the afternoon before our flight. Just to say goodbye one more time, and to squeeze in one more delicious lunch before we left.

We went to multiple islands on our fiji trip, but Taveuni will always be our first destination when we return. The moment you get off the plane, you just have to say to yourself..."So this is paradise?"

Taveuni was different from the other islands we visited. It seemed to be more relaxing, without feeling like you are in a resort area. You feel like family, and I recommend wandering around town and trying some new food, and meet some good people. If you are into Scuba Diving, beware, you may not ever want to leave, Fiji is truly a beautiful place, on land and underwater as well. Just thinking about it makes think I know what the perfect anniversary present would be.....a trip back to Coconut Grove.... to paradise!

Fiji wouldn't have been the same if not for Coconut Grove. It's not just the excellent food (exquisite dishes, both indian and fijian. And, as an italian, i must admit: good Ravioli), the magnificent location on the beach just meters away from the reef, the silence, the peacefulness, the coziness: it's the people that work there. The staff is always extremely kind and always makes the guests happy with their cheerfulness.
And Ronna, the owner, is an amazing host, full of energy, talking to everyone, treating them as guests in her own home, enabling the guests to meet one another. And is always full of the best advice on what to do in the Island.

Coconut Grove is a wonderful place to stay. There are only three bures and the property is right on the beach. This along with the extremely helpful and friendly staff makes you feel like you are being welcomed into a family.
The bure we stayed in was lovely with a view of the ocean and had an enormous private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. The thoughtful touches such as the free massage on arrival, fresh flowers and the staff cutting down a fresh cocunut drink from the palm as we lay on the beach made an already incredible experience into one of the best if not the best holidays we have ever had!
The restaurant looking out over the islands is very relaxing and the food is great. Very fresh and yummy. The fresh fruit smoothies are to die for. The tropical fruit breakfast, included in the price, is lovely as well.
You can loan one of the resort's kayaks and paddle out to the islands on the resort's doorstep for fantastic snorkeling. One of the staff members took me out for a spot of kayak fishing as well. I can not say enough about how the staff made the Taveuni experience wonderful as they suggested places we could go and things we could do, even escourting us on some of the trips as informal friendly guides. They arranged everything we wanted.
This place is one of the best kept secrets of Fiji so be sure to go and enjoy it!

What a lovely, peaceful, and beautiful property. We experienced the BEST food on the island of Taveuni on the restaurant deck of the Cocunut Grove Cafe with such an incredible view. The private cottage we stayed in was decorated with special care and comfort, and the luxurious outdoor shower with a view makes this a place that keeps your heart close to nature. Everywhere you look you are surrounded by the lush, exoctic feel of a tropical paradise. With 100's of islands in Fiji, I felt there was no place I needed to go. Felt completely taken care of by the hospitality of the staff and enjoyed the private romance offered by the private beach and cottages. I can't wait to go back and find my life relax again in tune with the earthly beat this paradise offers. Awesome snorkeling, kayaking, and beach and rainforest treking. Definitely a MUST do trip again.
