The Remote Resort

This is the most exciting and important invigorating vacation my husband and I have been on. We came to Remote Resort from California after a stressful previous year. Living in traffic and on top of one another in albeit beautiful Newport Beach. We travelled from LAX via Fiji Air business class (lovely flight, good food and drink with a very clean plane and highly attentive staff) and then raced over to the Fiji smaller terminal for our internal and flight. We were delayed 5 hours by a huge rainstorm. Turned out we could have slowed down a bit in getting over there. Then you take a boat to the resort. Note: Do not bring your LV or high end leather luggage as it is going to get wet and no one will care what you are carrying anyway! After a beautiful arrival which I will let you experience and won’t spoil the surprises, we rested for the rest of the day. Over the next 4 days we snorkeled everyday thank you Vileesi and Kim. Vileesi snorkeled with me everyday and actually held my hand in difficult current and made sure that she showed me everything there was to see that I surely would have missed. We had so much fun snorkeling, eating, drinking, laughing and hanging out with our new staff family. The food is so delicious and is not , not American processed, chemically enhanced food. It is fresh, home grown, cooked to order food like we are supposed to be eating. Our American bodies go through a period of food detox I think and you will leave this resort with a finer palate and more appreciative of fresh, healthy food. The rooms are clean clean clean! Amazing air conditioning and the house reef was better than any I saw anywhere else. Everything is so alive. It was a real awakening for me of what Hawaii probably looked like 75 years ago. This resort brought my husband and I closer as there is nothing to do at night except listen to your own music and talk and entertain each other. Outdoor shower was pristine, not a **** in sight! Kim and Valeesi made sure we did a new part of rainbow reef each day and went to some fabulous new beach and ate great picnics with my hand made Mai tais. We cannot wait to go back next year. This was too good of a place to not continue the exploration of amazing Rainbow Reef and I can’t wait to get back with our new friends! Love you all at Remote for making our time Amazing❤️John and Kristi

The most incredible trip I’ve ever been on. I can’t say enough incredible things about The Remote Resort. Incredible staff, incredible accommodations, incredible staff, incredible grounds, incredible house reef, incredible food. The effort to get there is in the name but the plane, car, and boat trips were well worth it. Everything was incredibly clean and well maintained. Any wear and tear is due to the proximity to the water. We spent our time snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The coral and fish are incredible. The reef is expansive and full of life! We saw sea turtles while kayaking and snorkeling! We didn’t have a meal we didn’t like. I HIGHLY recommend the green papaya salad. We’re going to recreate it at home! The daily cocktail was always delicious and I highly recommend all of the local beers. The staff make every effort to keep you from lifting a finger and are ready to assist you in any way at all times. We were able to enjoy coconut water from fresh coconuts they knocked down! I highly recommend walking the beach to look at shells and sea glass, walking the property during the day to see the beautiful flowers, and walking at night to see the toads and bats! I especially enjoyed my morning coffee on the dock where I got to see a reef shark swimming around. We’d love to come back!

This resort checks SO many boxes! The people absolutely make this resort one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken! Everyone, and I mean everyone, is amazing. From our first interaction with the boat crew to our final at the dock upon our return - each and every person was kind, caring and genuinely amazing. Elie, Zoe, Marisa, Sia, Valesie, Maria, Graeme, Kim, Wane, Wilson...every single person could not have been more excellent. These staff members made my trip without a doubt. The grounds are manicured and beautiful, the accommodations are comfortable, the food is delicious and varied. The Scuba Diving is the most amazing underwater experience I have ever had. Graeme, Kim, Wane & Wilson give a true concierge diving experience - which was flawless!! The beauty of the Rainbow Reef cannot be understated, it is simply amazing. I cannot number the different fish type we saw, nor can I begin to describe the beauty of the reef!

Another return trip to The Remote Resort is in the books. Everything about the trip and stay was fantastic - food, cleanliness, relaxation, weather, and most importantly and definitively the hospitality and warmth of the staff - simply superb. Also, the new Fiji Airways flight direct from Dallas to Nadi is a game changer.

My wife and I just returned from our first trip to Fiji - starting with 4 nights at a Taveuni dive resort and 6 nights at Remote. The pictures on the website accurately depict the natural beauty and attractive accommodations at Remote. The food truly was outstanding, although the bar offerings and quality were a level or two below that of the food. The staff was helpful, friendly and competent. We were charmed by the welcoming protocol that included a Fijian kava ceremony and foot rub - and a singing send-off by a group of staff on the dock as we sadly hopped on the boat to start our journey back to the US. We stayed at the Royal Retreat, finding the interior space and layout very comfortable - and greatly enjoyed the plunge pool and outside shower. All of the accommodations face the water with excellent views, and I would recommend selecting a villa based on pricing and your space requirements - don't think you would go wrong with any of the accommodation options. This is a resort where both divers and non-divers can be comfortable. My wife and I dove every day, finding the concierge dive operation at this resort on par or superior to that of the dedicated dive resort we visited in Taveuni. We were treated to dives at multiple locations on the Rainbow reef, 15-25 minute rides from the resort dock. The dive sites featured colorful and healthy hard and soft corals with an abundance of varieties and numbers of fish - mostly smalls to mid-size with one or two reef sharks spotted on most dives. We had a great experience swimming with huge reef mantas feeding at the surface during one of our dive intervals. Our overall opinion can best be summarized by reporting that we plan to send a deposit for a longer stay at The Remote Resort next year!

This is an awesome and tranquil resort with excellent service. Their dive shop truly deserves special recognition—professional crew, honest people, personalized attention to every diver, and flexibility with the schedule. It was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had!
