This was our second trip to Octopus and my 5th time in Fiji in 33 years. Our group of seven included a toddler and a disabled family member requiring special equipment, assistance on and off water transport and with water sports. Even before we had left Australia, I was heartened by the incredible attention we received from Sharene the manager in addressing all my questions and needs. No request was too difficult and Sharene went seriously out of her way to ensure we would have the BEST possible experience - but that was only an indication of what was to follow. The extraordinary energy, warmth and generosity of Sharene and her husband CJ was impressive and memorable - we felt utterly spoilt and have missed them and their staff very much since leaving almost two months ago! I have not experienced quite this level of hospitality anywhere else in the world (even in Fiji!). We feel part of the Octopus family and a week doesn't go by without thinking about our time there and these delightful people. On a practical note, the beach front bures were well worth the extra cost for the space and in particular for the beach front verandah and day bed. Plus the outdoor ensuites are a lovely addition. One generally doesn't travel to Fiji for extraordinary food - the geographical limitations makes that difficult. However, the food was much improved since our visit in 2007 and was really good. The size and intimacy of the resort is appealing. We preferred it to the larger, more commercial resorts available. We met some lovely guests and still enjoyed having our own space. The staff were warm and seemed happy and motivated. The weather is more constant than on the mainland (where it rains frequently). The white, soft sandy and azure water is hard to beat - well worth travelling up to the Yasawa Group of islands if you want to find good snorkling and stunning beaches. The resort caters well for families and offers a good range of activities and services. We asked for a private, lobster banquet/dinner to celebrate a special event and were very impressed by the effort that went in to making it an incredibly memorable evening, in a stunning location. Under the current management, I cannot recommend Octopus Resort, Fiji more highly.
