50% off at the incomparable Royal Davui Island Resort!

Always wanted to stay at Royal Davui, but could not quite afford it? For stays in February of 2013, this incredible resort is offering an amazing half-off special!

There is a bit of fine print; over the course of the month, they will be doing some construction of new staff quarters and renovations of the existing ones. All of the guest facilities will be open as normal during this time, though! And having stayed at Royal Davui and being familiar with the location of these quarters (see my review and photos here), I am confident that any disturbance to guests will be negligible. This is truly a fabulous deal, and I hope to see many travelers take advantage of it!

Two incredible deals at Qamea Resort & Spa in Fiji!

One of my favorite properties in Fiji, Qamea was already incredible, but its value has now become even better! Three delectable meals a day have always been included in Qamea's rates, but all guests staying at the resort between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 will now be able to also enjoy complimentary Fijian draft beers, selected New Zealand wines, and selected soft drinks by the glass between noon and 10PM daily!

 In addition, from now through March 31, 2013, Qamea is offering a fantastic buy one get one free deal on the transfers between the international airport in Nadi and the resort (these are via plane from Nadi to Taveuni, then car and boat between Taveuni and Qamea), and is also discounting the paid transfer! This will save travelers an average of nearly $850USD per couple - pretty much enough to indulge in a couple of spa treatments every single day for a week in Qamea's fabulous jungle spa!
Note: transfer deal is valid for travelers staying 7 nights or more.

There's no better time to visit this gorgeous piece of paradise - what are you waiting for?! For more info or to book your trip, please don't hesitate to contact me at Caroline@easyescapestravel.com!

Tadrai Island Resort, Fiji

Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands just became even more enticing with the opening of the ultra-luxe Tadrai island Resort.  Located on a paradisiacal palm-fringed isle, Tadrai is the perfect spot for a honeymoon or other romantic getaway. The resort boasts 5 beautiful and spacious beachfront villas, each with a plunge pool overlooking one of the property’s 4 private beaches.   

 

 

With a maximum of 10 adult guests (sorry, no children allowed!)  on property at any given time, attentive and personalized service is guaranteed. Rates include all meals, select alcoholic beverages, all non-alcoholic beverages, gratuities, and non-motorized water sports, making Tadrai one of just a few true all-inclusive properties in Fiji. The first few guests to stay at Tadrai have raved about  the staff, food,  spa, and everything else the resort has to offer, and I expect that the kudos will just keep coming!
