Tokoriki Island Resort

Spectacular: spectacular customer service in all resort venues, spectacular grounds, spectacular sunsets, spectacular accommodations, spectacular food and beverage offerings, spectacular activities, spectacular housekeeping services. Sadly we only had 5 nights at this fabulous adults only resort…wish we would have booked a longer stay! From the moment you arrive via speedboat, catamaran or helicopter, you will be treated to the best level of customer service imaginable. Guests are serenaded by the band boys and the beautiful voices of the staff on arrival, at departure and in celebration of anniversaries and birthdays. The band boys also provide entertainment during lunch and dinner. The entire staff is superb. A special thanks to Niumaia, Kara and “Queen V” for making our visit extra special. The reception area, the dining venues and the pool area have an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed watching guests arrive or depart via helicopter from time to time. There is a boutique near the reception area offering high end gifts at very reasonable prices. There is also a smiling face at the reception area daily and into the evening happy to assist with any want or need. Housekeeping is exceptional: daily housekeeping and turndown service is the norm here. The staff magically knows just the right time to service your room. Special dining options are a romantic and fun treat. We very much enjoyed our Oceanfront Dinner celebrating our anniversary and my husband’s upcoming birthday; as well as our Oceanfront Breakfast and Hibachi Dinner. It was also interesting to watch the Lovo Cooking, a method Fijians use to cook pork and vegetables. The pork entree is offered a few times a week. The menus are varied and the lunch and dinner menus change every day. No buffets here: all meals are cooked to order and served with the highest level of service. The food is fresh and well prepared - sure to please “foodies”. Great wines from Australia and New Zealand are offered by the glass or by the bottle. If you don’t finished the bottle, the bartender will keep your bottle for you for the next day or you can take it with you to enjoy in your Bure. Guests should also experience the Kava Ritual held a few evenings a week. Guests learn the history and the etiquette of this Fijian tradition and enjoy rounds of kava with the hosts and other guests. The accommodations are very private and are well appointed. We did not want to leave our Oceanfront Pool Bure. The outside areas were the perfect place to relax, enjoy an afternoon cocktail and take a dip I the pool. Guests can also enjoy the resort Oceanfront infinity pool with full bar service and afternoon tea. There is a second pool available by the outdoor library which is often used for scuba instruction. The beach is lovely and natural. It is great for taking a walk; but not a great swimming beach. However, the dive shop offers two snorkel excursions every day to take guests to snorkel reefs; as well as kayaks and paddle boards. There is a list of activities for every day so guests can be as active as they want to be or just chill and enjoy the beauty of the island and the resort. With a maximum capacity of 72 guests, guests have the opportunity to meet and chat with other guests or simply enjoy quiet time with their travel companion. I always want to explore someplace new; however, Tokoriki is definitely on my list of resorts you want to visit again and again.

We have been all over the world and Tokoriki Island Resort is now one of our favorite places. They made our 30th anniversary and my birthday truly unforgettable! Don’t know how we will top it! We will be back. Loved our beachfront pool bure, the massages, the snorkeling, and the food! We stayed 11 nights and didn’t want to leave. The entire Tokoriki team is fantastic! Sai went above and beyond! Tu’a was terrific! Chef Thomas and his team are unbelievably good! Mita, Tina, and Joe at the bar are amazing and so much fun! Captain Lepani on the resort snorkel boat was excellent! Mala, Wise, and the “Band boys” were great! Really enjoyed their music during lunch and dinner. Sai and Mala made the kava ceremony so much fun! The beach picnic was awesome! The gardener Kai went above and beyond. My husband wanted to learn how they graft the orchids on the trees and Kai showed him how and gave him a tour of the greenhouse. Kai also cut down 2 coconuts so we could try fresh coconut water for the first time. The Sunday church service and choir was beautiful! When they sang us the goodbye song I actually cried. The entire staff/team genuinely made us feel like family. Tokoriki has touched our hearts and souls like no other place. The gorgeous location and beautiful staff will forever be in our memories. Until next time. Vinaka vakalevu!

There are so many glowing reviews what more can we add - I guess that we just love how they have managed to balance luxury and laid back perfectly. From the rooms to the spa and the reef to the restaurant everything was just wonderful . And the staff.. well what can we say. Warm friendly and caring with a cheeky humour that makes you instantly feel relaxed and ‘at home’ in the best way possible. We can’t see how we will ever be able to stay anywhere else in Fiji now!!!

Absolutely magical stay at the Tokoriki. Immediately upon arriving, the Tokoriki family greeted us with smiles, joyful music and happy “Bulas!” This genuine warmth and kindness of the staff continued all during our entire stay. We felt so well cared for and pampered. The surroundings are gorgeous - the sparkling azure sea, breathtaking sunsets and tropical flowers/orchids on the grounds. The agenda rotates daily - you can do nothing at all or get involved in diving, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or do activities like kava ceremony, crab races. We did the daily couple’s massages - wow! I have never felt so relaxed. Our beachfront bure had a plunge pool with an idyllic view of the beach and luxurious amenities. The meals were divine - fresh and finely curated. A treat was the Lovo (local Fijian dish) and watching it be prepared. The beach island picnic with bubbly was a highlight - 4 hrs on a beautiful deserted island with a delightful lunch, all set up by the staff in the most romantic cabana. A special thank you to Tu’a for a lovely welcome, Liti for getting us settled in, Mita and Mosese for the perfect cocktails, Ana, Kris, Rebekah and Litiana who took such good care of us while dining, Sai who gave us a lovely send off and Wise and his team for keeping us all entertained each day (we so enjoyed the live music at lunch and dinner and hope we can get a copy of the “Tokoriki Boys Greatest Hits” on Spotify someday !) There are so many others to thank , Vinaka to the entire Tokoriki family, you made our 30th wedding anniversary perfect. And those delicious cookies !!! Vinaka for sharing the recipe :-)

Vanaka Tokoriki Family, our return to your island after 25 years was even happier than we could ever have anticipated. From the VIP airport welcome and amazing helicopter transfer to the warmth of our welcome our holiday was one to remember always. Can really recommend the beautiful beachfront villas with spectacular waterfall edged pool and ocean views but what makes Tokoriki so special is the wonderful staff who are so proud of their island and a joy to be around. Add to this the wonderful food and service, beautiful weather and interesting activities (if you ever get tired of lying by the pool with a cocktail) and you have the perfect recipe for paradise! Thank you all and we can’t wait to return.
