We recently had the pleasure of experiencing Tadrai Island Resort. We booked a package via Luxury Escapes and that sums up our trip. From Nadi, we travelled to Mana Island on the South Sea Cruises big cat. We were met by the Tadrai Resort tender for a short transfer where we were greeted by a Fijian welcome song from the staff as we got to the beach. Having travelled extensively throughout the South Pacific we have to call this out as an absolute gem. The staff were wonderful, constantly and consistently doing everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. There are a variety of excursions every day, but we chose to just relax most of the time and enjoy our room, beach and private plunge pool on our deck. You can do as much or as little as you like. Highlight for us was lunch on a deserted island with a beautiful sandy beach, where we were dropped for a few hours with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and eskies of food and drinks. We also had daily couples' massages at the waterfront Spa. The girls there were lovely and skilled. The beach in front of the rooms was a bit rocky and tidal, so you could only swim, kayak, and snorkel when the tides were right. But it was always high tide in the plunge pools and the infinity pool at the restaurant area. Food was excellent and plentiful. Although there are set menus due to the small numbers of guests, we found there to be a good variety each meal and day-to-day, and the chef was always willing to do something special if asked. My wife mentioned to the chef that she loved reef fish, and the next evening we had pan-fried parrotfish which had been caught that day. Plenty of fresh seafood, fruit and veges on the menu. Restaurant staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Wine, Fijian beer, and cocktails were laid on and it was way to easy to over-indulge. There was also a bit of live music every night with a singer-guitarist playing an interesting mix of Fijian songs and classic hits. There are only 5 bungalows at the resort. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well laid out, making good use of the beach front location. The outdoor bathroom was spectacular. Bed was large and comfortable. Special touches were great, from the bottle of Chandon on arrival, to the Birthday Cake, to the special Lobster dinner on our last night, to the coconut milk bath, to the touching Fijian farewell song from the staff. Even though our package was all inclusive, it was still a pleasant surprise to find that there were no "extra" charges on departure. We were blessed with great weather during our stay, but the location looks to be quite exposed so I would be picking my season to visit. On the occasion when the wind was up, the open restaurant was a bit breezy and would hamper water-based activities. We would highly recommend this resort. Location is good, but the service is an absolute standout. The beautiful staff were obviously proud of their resort and took ownership of making
