Hello Faye,
Thanks for your email. Our trip was simply amazing. Couldn't have gotten a better honeymoon than this :) Tokoriki was definitely up to the standards, just like you told us. And the helicopter ride to the Island was quite helpful after such a long travel from Toronto. I would recommend it to anyone else who goes there. Once we got to Tokoriki, the staff were very welcoming and I just loved how they greet everyone with their Bula song. Both rooms that we booked were great. Actually, the deluxe beach bure that we were in first, had probably the best view to the beach than all the other bures. Thank you for getting us that room. The honeymoon island picnic was good, except that we had gone there on a windy day, so we were fighting with the wind in order to made sure that our food and champagne didn't get attacked with sand ;)
I really enjoyed the quality of service of the staff. They were always smiling and courteous to everyone who stayed there. And the food was really great. Quite the variety and freshness in the menu. Only suggestion would be if they could have explained to us on the first day how the meal plan worked and what it included. Another suggestion would be to have a little more variety in their dessert menu for lunch.
The PADI Tokoriki diving personnel were really great too. They answered to all my questions prior to the trip via email and their customized service to us was really appreciated. I liked that they gave us a private lesson instead of having us join a bigger group. Usually, here in Canada, diving courses are given in groups only, not in private lessons. So, we really liked the fact that we had our own instructor for the duration of the open water diving course.
I was surprised to see how after a day or two, we didn't miss our technology and gadgets when we were in Tokoriki (no TV, no cell phone service, no internet, no telephone in the rooms, not even an alarm clock in the room!). Life there doesn't need to depend on those things :)
Thanks again Faye for booking our honeymoon. We will refer your name to our friends and when we decide to go to our next vacation, we will definitely contact you.
All the best,
E. Ambroise
Quebec, Canada
