Beqa Lagoon in December

Bula Lori and all the crew,

Kelsey and I had an excellent time in Fiji. The resort was spectacular, the staff were all so very pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed everything that Beqa has to offer. The diving was beautiful, so many corals and fish I was simply in awe the whole entire time. What a wonderful culture the Fijian people. I had a few very nice afternoons sitting in the village talking story with Joeli, Lita, and their son Sam. What a welcoming and loving people. I literally lost myself a few times in utter happiness. When the choir and the school kids came, each time I was just out of it with the powerful energy they put in the air. I also had a great experience making coconut cups with Tuemo and Blackie who did most of the work despite my efforts to do them myself haha. Anyway I have already and will continue to tell people about the amazing time we had. Mark and Sue were so very helpful with anything we needed or questions we had. Thank you all Lori and the McCoy crew, Mark and Sue, and all of the VERY special Fijian friends that we made along the way for a week of life I will never forget and hope to relive again.

Amazing Fiji Vacation at Beqa Lagoon Resort

Aloha Lori,

Thank you. Fiji was amazing. The accommodations were very nice and far exceeded our expectations. The food was very good and we had enough. The Diving was awesome. We really enjoyed the people and especially the organization. We didn’t have to worry about anything which made it very relaxing. I would not recommend this location to anyone who wasn’t a diver though as everything was geared towards their schedule. The dive crews were very professional. We were a little concerned having been in Mexico but they were very cautious and made sure everyone was safe.

Hope this helps.

Amazing Trip to Fiji and New Zealand by Faye Bartlett

Faye,
Our trip to Fiji, Royal Davui and to Queenstown, The Rees Hotel was the trip of a lifetime!
Royal Davui was an experience in luxury, with wonderful personal attention by the entire staff, combined with 3 extraordinary diving experiences that will never be forgotten including the Beqa Lagoon Shark dive.

The Rees Hotel accomodations consisted of a brand new beautiful 2BR apartment (with full kitchen and dining area) with a patio, balcony and an incredible panoramic view of the lake and the Remarkables. Queenstown, which was a lot of fun (including happening bars, restaurants, a day of skiing, flights to and from Milford Sound and Keagan and keenan's Bungy Jump). Incredible combination of a wonderful South Pacific experience combined with really fun adventures in 8 inches of snow in Queenstown. So we are very grateful for your direction and assistance. Thank You for finding the Rees and arranging the trip so seemlessly.

When we arrived in Queenstown we learned that a very large snow storm was about to arrive! We tried to rearrange our itinerary but the airport was closed for the next 3 days so we were able to make arrangements with another service to fly to and from Milford Sound which was another incredible experience.

We are all quite grateful for your able assistance and am particularly thankful that you came to our rescue when we were abandoned by our previous travel agent. You listened well to our desires and kept working until matching arrangements were put into place so Thank You again Faye!

Fabulous Beqa Lagoon Experience

Bula Faye,

We loved our Fiji experience! Everything was as we expected. Diving was super. Mark and Sue at the Beqa Lagoon Island Resort we awesome hosts. We enjoyed their hospitality, conversation and first hand experiences. They really knew the island and the people. The food was attractive, delicious and my children found new foods to try and enjoy.

The room was spacious, relaxing, and so comfortable. Quiet. Very Quiet. We loved to sit on our deck and listen to the ocean and quiet! Our children were forced to converse with us! Dinners were family style and we enjoyed conversation with new friends, our hosts, and especially our children. Rosie's travel was prompt, professional and the airline room was a nice touch. My daughter enjoyed a massage, my husband and son took a relaxing shower.

Our single favorite experience was the diving ~ unanimously. Beqa Resort provided superb diving. The Dive team did a top notch job with gear, assistance and choosing locations. Diving was like being in a beautiful aquarium Everyone at the Resort was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, attractive and the beds were heavenly! There was so much offered for us to try. I regret not having a Spa experience, but others found them relaxing. We went to visit the school. We enjoyed the choir and Meke dancers that came to the resort. The firewalkers were astounding as well. Thank you so much for your fine coordination and service. You anticipated our needs and any problems we would encounter with your emails which helped guided us through our visit. We can't wait to do this again with you.

Sincerely,

Beautiful Beqa Lagoon Resort Happy Travelers

Dear Faye,
We thank you so much for your help in planning this trip to Beqa Lagoon Resort in Fiji. Our room and all the accommodations were exactly as advertised. The food was above par that is for sure. The massages were reasonable and great also at this resort. We especially enjoyed the preflight home in the Rosie's lounge. That was a big treat, with the comfort and the massage. Thank you so much for that. We did get the hotel day room which worked out great.

We did not mind the rain as our goal was to snorkel but only got about 3 days of snorkeling and a storm many miles away goofed up the water making it very cloudy. The second week we had mostly sunny weather and after a few days the waters cleared up. Swam with a 7 foot white tip shark in front of the resort. Now that was more than we asked for thank you very much. We hiked to the waterfall and believe me even the youngsters were having a hard time. A very difficult hike but made it and loved it. Too bad the sweat or waterfall washed all the bug spray off as we got really bitten coming back. Only 5 of us made this hike and 3 of them and the guide were under 30. So being over 70 was tough.

We thank you so much for your great planning of this trip. We would recommend you to any and everyone.

Beqa Lagoon Diving Vacation

Bula! Vinaka! To Lori and McCoy Travel.

We had an exceptionally problem-free vacation, for both the Beqa Resort and the Sydney portions of our trip.

The flights, on both Air Pacific and Pacific Blue (aka Virgin Pacific or whatever name they're going with), were wonderful. They give one much more leg room and friendlier ground and flight crews than standard U.S. carriers.

The food and diving experiences at the Beqa Resort were very good. The diving itself was the highlight of the trip, seeing lots of new fish and corals.

I should note that virtually all of our dive group used the massage services available at the spa at Beqa Lagoon, even some of the men who'd never submitted to a massage before. ALL of the masseuses were EXCELLENT! Some of the best massages that any of us had ever experienced.

I cannot think of any improvement on your end. Lori did a wonderful job of advising and organizing our trip, especially given all the curveballs of variation we threw at her. Her tips were on point and very helpful.

Thank you both.

Beqa Lagoon Diving Vacation

Hi Lori,

I can tell you right away that my experience was exceptional! The travel to and from Beqa Lagoon was without a hitch, and the information you provided regarding the duty-free being open early in the morning upon arrival was correct, in spite of the doubts of some of my co-travelers.

From my perspective, the Fijians at the Beqa Lagoon Resort did an amazing job of making us all feel welcome, comfortable and safe. I thought the diving was very good, the dive crew outstanding, and most of the sites they chose were pretty good, if not excellent. Plus, I'm glad I opted for the shark dive. It was incredible! Next time, though, I'd be sure to turn around during the first dive because sharks were cruising by us, and some of my fellow divers neglected to point it out. Otherwise, I would have seen even more sharks! I can definitely recommend it.

The other thing that really stood out for me was the food. It was like dining in a 5-star restaurant! And your suggestion to always order the dessert was spot on. I was extremely pleased with the food. And it was such a nice touch that the wait staff learned each of our names quickly and always used them when addressing us. Very cool and special!

Of course, the people I went with, Fabio's Fabulous Dive Buddies, made the trip very fun. For a group of 11 people from varying backgrounds I was pleasantly surprised at the chemistry between us all.

The only wrinkle in the trip was that my camera was stolen at the resort. I have my suspicion who it was (another guest), but no confirmation. I felt my belongings were safe there, and never expected something like that to happen, but there are always dishonest people everywhere you go. In spite of what happened, I didn't let it ruin my vacation. And others took enough photos for all of us, so I've got plenty to show my family and friends here in Portland.

Regarding spreading the word, I've been talking up Fiji quite a bit and told several folks that I booked through your agency. When I get a minute, I'll get on TripAdvisor and comment there, too.

I'm sure I'll be in touch because I'd like to visit Hawaii this winter.

Incredible Namale Fiji Vacation

Hello Melissa,
I just wanted to get back to you regarding the recent trip we took which was booked through McCoy Travel. Sorry it has taken me a while but after returning from our trip life has been busy.

My wife and I went to Fiji for our Honeymoon and stayed at Namale Resort and Spa. We began looking at destinations about a year ago during which time we came across your web page. We were having difficulty determining which resort was the right one for us so I contacted your office for some advice. Faye Bartlett returned my call almost immediately and spent a good bit of time talking to me about the different resorts - the pros, cons, and costs of each.
Ultimately, we decided on Namale due to a combination of privacy, available activities, room design, all inclusive nature, friendliness of the staff, and overall feel of the resort. Our talks with Faye were extremely helpful in making our decision, and we were very happy overall with the experience.

I feel that we got an outstanding vacation package by using your company. The three things that jump out in my mind are 1) Free upgrade to an ocean bure 2) credits that we were able to apply to our inter island airfare 3) access to the Rosie's lounge in Nadi. My wife and I could have easily made the arrangements by ourselves, but we would have had to have paid for all these extras. It is clear that your company has made great relationships that it can leverage on behalf of your travelers.

The communication throughout was outstanding. We were getting updates and emails from your staff from the time we called until the week before we left... not to mention your follow up email once we returned! As I mentioned, we started planning this trip more than a year out, and my expectation was once we booked the trip and arrangements were made that would be the end of it. I was very pleasantly surprised with all the follow on correspondence. If nothing else, it gave me confidence that if we did hit a snag during the trip your office would be up to speed on the details of our vacation and ready to help out.

In terms of your service, there is very little I can recommend to improve. It was truly outstanding across the board.

As I mentioned, my wife and I had an amazing time at Namale. The bures and resort were absolutely beautiful, there were enough activities to keep us busy but not too many that we felt exhausted, and the staff was absolutely amazing. We loved the diving and my wife absolutely loved the spa. The picnic lunches were fantastic, but mostly we just enjoyed sitting on our deck staring out at the south pacific. It's really too hard to pick out one single thing.The only complaint we had was with the food and the drinks. The food was ok, but not great, and the wine and mixed drinks left a lot to be desired. Fortunately neither was real high on our priority list, but it is important to note because they simply are not up to the standard of the rest of the resort.Without a doubt we will keep your service in mind for future vacations.

Thanks so much.

Incredible Fiji Dive Vacation

Hello Hiapo,
We had a fabulous vacation. At Papageno, they upgraded us to 1/2 a house, and it was beautiful. Zacharias, the dive master, is "one of a kind", like Dr. Doolittle under water. We were spoiled, since we were the only divers the 3 of us had the ocean to ourselves. Loved the short boat rides! Food was delicious. Elizabeth is so warm and friendly, a very nice hostess and bartender! Lydia, the nurse/resident and Scott shared a lot of stories. Initially, we were the only english speaking guests, everyone else was from Austria or Germany, but it worked out fine, we pieced together conversations with pieces of english and lots of hand signals. Week one was very laid back and ran on "Figi time", since they were not at capacity.

Week 2 was quite regimented, schedule-wise, but it needed to be, with all those divers. The bure was lovely, roomy, private and perfect! We were very late arriving, due to plane issues on the other end. However, Seta (or Seto) the Captain waited for us and transported us back to Beqa Lagoon Resort in the dark and on rough water. Talk about "above and beyond the call of duty". The meals were unbelievably delicious and the staff so friendly. It was nice to have the daily afternoon activities and evening entertainment. The dive staff, every one of them, was so friendly and accommodating! The wait staff were fun and friendly. Tu Emo is the best! He was everywhere ...escorting us to church service, leading us to the school for a tour and singing, singing in the choir, teaching about "roots to fruit" of the coconut, dive master, working on the grounds, teaching us about the kava ceremony....he's a gem (and has the best giggle I've ever heard)!

The bartending ladies were a fun bunch. Scott loved teaching them new martini recipes.

Tap water at both resorts was yummy.........that was a nice surprise, and much different than our Fiji trip a few years ago to Matangi and Maravu (altho' those islands were great too)

We did accrue more of a "cash due" bill than we expected, but that's obviously under our control as a guest. We chose to pay for specialty dives at each resort. We paid for a lot of juices, to mix with our own liquor, but also bought at the bar (yes, we're lushes). Buying the liquor at duty free was a great suggestion. The drinks we bought at the bar were reasonably priced. On both islands, we had massages, and those prices were very reasonable too.

Unlimited shore diving at BLR is not really a huge advantage, since it's very dependent upon the tide and can be a bit challenging at low tide. That's OK, the "real" diving was fabulous. The only negative is the long boat rides, but since they leave at 8:00 each day, it's a good jump start, compared to other resorts we've been to.

We wish Fiji was closer..........we'd go often. I think it was the best vacation we ever had!

Blessings to you and yours....

Regards,
