Fabulous Fiji Honeymoon

Hi Melissa,

I have been working with Faye and have just given our confirmation to proceed with our honeymoon staying at the Intercontinental and Namale. I wish to compliment Faye for her caring, patient professionalism, and her obvious desire to package the perfect honeymoon. Her knowledge, understanding of our needs and her ability to nurture Fijian Novices to plan our honeymoon is exemplary. I run a retail business and can only hope to have staff as thorough and committed as Faye.

You are blessed to have such staff.

In addition, your rolling narrated video coverage of rooms at Namale have been of great assistance. You know your doing things right when you're attracting unknown clients from the likes of Far North Tropical Queensland. It was also comforting to read Faye's bio and discuss her time when she lived in our neck of the woods. To you and you team, thank you, we could not be happier with our decision.

Lovely Namale Vacation

Beth,

We wanted to thank you for all of your hard work on our Fiji/Namale trip. It was absolutely perfect!!

I know we spent a lot of time trying to figure out which place to stay and then which room to stay in, and we wouldn’t change a thing- we loved Namale and its people, as well as, our room, Civa. We were so impressed by how friendly all the people were at Namale and how comfortable they made us feel. And I think Melissa was right when she summed up Namale as being “comfy”. Everywhere you went and sat, it was so comfortable!! We thoroughly enjoyed hanging out at our room, enjoying the pool and reading our books. The food was unbelievable as well, with such fresh fish, fruit and vegetables! And different fresh bread daily!!! And the wine list was also very good.

It was nice to have everything all inclusive, so you didn’t have to think about prices.

We also got to meet Louisa and her husband, as they were staying there for a few days. She is very nice and we were glad that we met her.

It is definitely a place where we would want to go back to and especially, stay in the same room. It was so difficult to leave Namale- we felt so comfortable there and so relaxed!!! And their good bye song and gathering was such a nice treat- we will think of the people at Namale for years to come, and remember their warm smiles, friendly “bula bula’s” and hospitality.

Our flights did get changed on the last day, but it worked out fine. We were able to get on an earlier flight out of Suva to Nadi, so we didn’t have a 4 hour layover there (which was nice because there is nothing there!). We arrived at Nadi and heard there was a Raffles across the street, so went over there with a family that we met on the plane (coming and going), and hung out there. They were very friendly there and allowed us to hang out at the pool or the bar until our flight, free of charge. The Tabua lounge at Nadi was also very nice and was very comfortable to sit in. Business/Tabua class on Air Pacific was also fine- I expected the worst and was pleasantly surprised. We were able to get some sleep, which was nice. The seats had a footrest and reclined ¾ of the way, which was good.

It would have been nice to fly direct from Nadi to Savusavu, however, you expect some of the delays/cancellations due to the fact that they are small islands and there is weather issues. And what can you do? So, all in all, that wasn’t too bad either.

We really appreciate everything you did and for making it such a pleasant vacation-worry free! We were very impressed by you and McCoy Travel and would definitely use you in the future. We can’t thank you enough!!!

Wonderful Namale Fiji Vacation

Bula Sue and Melissa,

We had a wonderful trip to Fiji. Sorry for the delayed response as we have both been extremely busy with work since we returned.... good thing we got away when we did.

The resort was absolutely great. The week we were at Namale was also the first week for the new general managers; however, you would not have known as the resort workers are just extremely good. The first night there was only one other couple and then two more arrived later. Therefore, we were very much pampered.

My single favorite experience was the opportunity to interact with the people living in the villages. They were very open about their lifestyle, their history and their customs. We took the opportunity to visit the village and see first hand how they live. It was an incredible learning experience that I was not counting on.

Thanks for all your help,

Hey Hiapo,

Happy New Year! Kirsten and I are back from Namale - AMAZING.

Thank you so much for setting up our travel. It was such an experience. We want to try to make it a reccurring trip - so you're my man! We got upgraded to one of the villas after a couple nights...it was crazy!

Thanks!

Fiji & Hawaii Luxury Travels

Aloha Faye,

The trip was excellent, thank you very much. Namale was almost perfect with super nice people, excellent facilities and service. They really went out of their way for our anniversary dinner with music, cake and room decorations. I told Anna, they probably have never seen people who stayed together for 35 years. We have broken the Namale record (it was 30th anniversary before). The diving was badly affected by the weather but I did get certified, so I am happy. The villa was excellent.

Hawaii was very good. Four Seasons is Four Seasons - always the same and always good. We found ourselves talking about Namale all the time which tells you how much we appreciated it. The golfing was very good and lava boat even better.

As for your services, no complains whatsoever. I am very happy and will mention you on TripAdvisor. You do not have to change anything.

I hope your NZ trip was equally good. Thanks again for your help and we are looking forward to using your services again. I promise I will share you with others against my common sense.

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.

Namale Wedding - Honeymoon

Hi Faye.
I'm officially a married woman!!! We had the best time. It was everything I hoped it would be. I haven't stopped talking about it yet. I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I have so much to tell you about and I'd much rather do it over the phone. I'm really looking forward to sharing all the details with you because none of it would have been possible without your advice and expertise. Talk to you soon. R.

By the way, my mom is planning a last minute trip to Australia. I gave her your contact info and told her she absolutely had to talk to you about it. She should be calling you sometime this week.

Awesome time in Fiji

Hi Lori,
We’re back in the real world again. We had an awesome time. Thank you again for all of your effort in putting together an itinerary for a perfect vacation. We’re always very appreciative of the extra effort that you put forth in advising us and looking out for our interests when putting together our vacation. We really enjoyed staying in Duavata (of course how could you not). The first day we were there, there was only one other couple and then we had Namale all to ourselves for the 2nd and 3rd day of our trip. By the time we left, the resort was about 50% capacity. We also really enjoyed Vomo. It was perfect for “on your own, do it yourself” types like us, because we could snorkel, kayak, or hike whenever we wanted without really seeing anyone else.

A few comments:
Namale:
Namale was great as always. The Duavata villa was perfect to relax and unwind. It is also worthy to mention that it had a little AC unit in the bedroom, since they do not mention it on their website. We met the new managers (Ron and Margaret), who are nice people (they had only been there a week). The service was even a little better than the last time we were there, such as for special requests, or customized activities. Kay who works in reception (also was the interim resort manager until Ron and Margaret came on board) took us kayaking from her house out to an island where the fruit bats roost. They would ask us if wanted anything special for our meals, or if we wanted any snacks during the day. They have great soups. Probably, the only downer was that we didn’t get kava every night like the previous visits. Instead, it was only offered twice while were there. We were going to ask the managers what their plan is for that, since everyone seems to enjoy the kava evenings.

Vomo:
We really enjoyed Vomo. It was cloudy pretty much the whole time we were in Namale, so we didn’t go snorkeling there. We could have still snorkeled, but we knew we would have plenty of time to do that on Vomo. That was okay because we had plenty of other stuff to do in addition to just relaxing. However, it was nice to get some sun on Vomo. Vomo was perfect for us because most of the guest would spend their time hanging around the pool, so it was like having an entire island to ourselves. The island is beautiful and we saw several reef sharks around the island. The food was good although, we ordered cheese burgers off the kid’s menu a couple of times. The bures had excellent air conditioning units (probably the best that we have had). The only knock that we really had on the bure was the bed because our bed consisted of two twin beds combined so that left a dip in the middle. It took a couple of nights to adjust after staying in the awesome Duavata bed. However, we managed. There we a lot of families so we definitely appreciate you making sure we got a free standing bure. However, the kids were not a big deal for us since the island provided plenty of room to get away. Since we had plenty of places to go on our own, we liked Vomo better than say, some place like Qamea, although we don’t feel it is necessarily worth $/night, which is what it would have been if you were unable to get us the stay 5/pay 4 deal. However, Vomo is a place that we will definitely return to someday.

In summary, we really thought it worked great to include time in the Mamanuca's along with a Namale stay so that we had a good variety in our stay. We would definitely recommend it to others. As always, we are happy to provide additional information should you have future clients who have questions about the resort, or this type of itinerary.

Thanks again,
