Tokoriki Island Resort

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.

This was an amazing vacation! The staff were so friendly and helpful. They remember every guest’s name. All the dining staff remembered my food allergies! They even made special menus for me. And the food was delicious. The resort is so peaceful. We spent a lot of time at our bure, sitting on the deck enjoying our own little beach. The pool was refreshing and there was ample seating both in shade and sunshine. The snorkeling was amazing! We’d go back again.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing our time was at this gorgeous resort. We chose to do a helicopter transfer & highly reccomend that mode of transport if you can! The view flying in was out of this world! Liti was there to greet us and made our trip so special throughout the whole time. We actually got engaged within the first couple of hours of being on the island and the staff went above and beyond to make it special for us, with Liti even organising someone to come and play guitar for us in our bure just after it happened. The staff really make you feel like family; it’s so nice walking through any part of the property and getting greeted by name! We did the full meal plan option & it was the best decision! The food is OUTSTANDING. The chef, Tom, curates such great menus for each meal - we couldn’t wait to see what would be next! We did the teppanyaki dinner one night which i highly recommended as Mopsie the chef is very talented and makes the night so much fun! We also had an oceanfront dinner the night of our engagement which was such a beautiful setting. We were also lucky enough to meet the owner & another member of the management team who were so lovely & personable, you can see why the resort thrives! I cannot fault anything!!!! If you are on the fence about booking, just do it - you won’t regret it!!! Tokoriki will always be a special place for us & we can’t wait for our next visit!

From the moment you arrive, until the sad moment you leave, you are treated like a VIP. The experience was fantastic and every single staff member was like a long lost friend, so warm and friendly and no problem too challenging. The only slight oddity is that there is no WiFi in any of the chalets, but there is WiFi available in the main lobby/bar. Food was great, and they are very accommodating if you want to change anything. Next time I probably wouldn’t do full board as I’m not sure I needed lunch every day after such great breakfasts! Definitely make sure you do the island picnic, it’s amazing. Also the Teppanyaki evening was really enjoyable. Be aware in early August the main pool was really chilly and for me only usable for a quick dip rather than somewhere to relax. The chalet pool was too cold to use at all. Appreciate it is winter time but it surprised me as air temps were still very high twenties. This didn’t detract at all from the experience and only commenting so others can get a reference point based on time of year. If you can time it right, try to make sure you get a helicopter transfer rather than the boat, so enjoyable seeing the truly amazing scenery of islands, beaches, and reefs from the air! Overall an amazing experience and I would definitely return.

We had our honeymoon at Tokoriki and returned to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. It is difficult to adequately describe what a special place Tokoriki Island Resort is. It is a stunning and peaceful island, with beautiful accommodation, incredible gardens and pool and delicious food. They have also recently installed a really nice gym. Aside from all this, I think what really makes Tokoriki is the staff. Everyone makes a big effort to learn your name and greet you personally each day. They are an incredible team. We owe very special thanks to Kali for making our anniversary so special, and we also loved talking to Penioni each day who goes to a lot of effort to look after all of the guests (as do all of the staff). Tokoriki Island Resort is somewhere you think about long after you have left. We can't wait to return.
