A resort for families & non families

While its true that the majority of guests at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort are families,non families also love it. Special dedicated areas just for couples…restaurant, pool, “quiet areas” etc., really bring a relaxing atmosphere without “chaos” to those traveling without children…this property really has the best of both worlds…and exceptional food and one of the most extensive wine lists you’ll find in the islands thanks to their manager, Bart, who marketed and sold wines “down under” (the prices are in Fiji dollars…U.S. price is 50% as indicated)DSCN3563

“Where everybody knows your name…”

“Where everybody knows your name…”
That’s not just the lyrics from a past TV sitcom theme song…its reality at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort…where the staff greets you by your first name accompanied by a huge smile and “Bula”…these are just some of them…incredible…

“Wanad Navu”…Excellent!

There’s a reason why the varied cuisine at Yasawa Resort is so fantastic…most of the food is sourced fresh from the island…organic fruits and vegetables…fresh fish from the locals…fruits come alive with flavor…varied menus and of course fantastic sweets and deserts from a chef that knows his way around the bakery… as you can see here,my wife Kim enjoying one of their featured “out of this world” dinner finishes. By the way, an incredible wine list…very inexpensive and some fantastic New Zealand white wines!DSCN3371 DSCN3334 DSCN3372 DSCN3369

“The Bula Boys”

On the island of Savu Savu at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort during the dinner we are serenaded by the “Bula Boys”…they sit on their traditional mats with the ceremonial “Kava” bowl in the center and entertain with wonderful Fijian music. I heard a rumor that they can also play just about anything…the challenge was on and I requested my friends favorite Italian melody…could they play it? Turn up your speakers and hear for yourself…and the guitar solo…brings tears to your eyes…ciao

On our way to Raymond Burrs Fiji Guest house

We are on our way to the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort….but first an overnight at the lovely Fiji Orchid…once the home of Raymond Burr, star of Hollywood’s Perry Mason and Ironside TV shows. this property has six luxury “bures”, and Mr. Burr’s main area is converted into a lounge, bar and gourmet restaurant. This is a very secluded spot on 5 acres of lush, tropical flowers, gardens, palms and fauna set amongst the foothills of the volcanic Nausori Highlands …a real oasis…
