Western Division Trip

We booked Nakelo off the online images, and upon arrival it was clear the damage they had sustained from the recent cyclone. Our first day was cloudy and a bit windy so it didnt show off the resort to its beauty. We had 5 days there, and by the end we didnt want to leave. The staff are lovely (Henry 1, Henry 2, Lannie, William, and the rest of the staff), and enjoy having a laugh or joke with you. The room we had was great, the aircon was wonderful on those hot humid days to have a break in. The Kokada dish is a must try - our favourite! The snorkeling is amazing. Both sides of the island offer different snorkeling experiences and worth spending a day on each reef. The sand bar trip is great, the reef out there is a must dive and is where we saw our first reef shark. Watch out for the trigger fish near the shore - they will protect their nest and will chase and bite you if you get too close. The jetskis are no longer used as the company that operated them is no longer there. The facilities need alot of refurbishment and they know that, but hopefully soon they get the funding to do what they need. There was only 14 of us on the island at any time and it was heaven. The whole island to ourselves and no kids - bliss. We got to release a turtle which was incredible. They have turtles and iguanas on the island which you can feed. There was trash around the beach which was a shame to see and would be an easy fix, but overall we loved out time, and we will be back in the future.

Place, it's great if you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing time, and if you are ok with booking activities offered by the resort on the island. Otherwise, you will have to pay for transportation every time a boat is needed, and you will have to coordinate with other boats and jump from one to the other in the water, which could be fun, scary, or impossible for others. Just be aware. Plus, of course, you will have to pay both sides to do that for you. And there is a schedule: if your activities end too late after 6pm, you will have to book a place on the mainland to stay, and good luck getting a taxi if you don't book in advance! Best sunrise I have ever seen! Tho! Also, be aware of the food that is limited to what they offer.

Our stay at Likuliku was AMAZING. The place is beautiful, the accomodations lovely, the facilities special, the food delicious....but what really stood out was the staff. every single person we came in contact with was friendly, open, warm, helpful, and musical! Next to the staff, the music from the staff was really incredible. Thank you Likuliku! You took such good care of us and we hope to come back one day! Some staff that stood out in particular: Qoro, Rosi, Kini, Joe, Edi Alex and Halley

We had an ocean front villa that was outstanding. The spa was amazing too.
