I can’t stop raving about the resort we stayed at in Fiji.

Blue Lagoon Beach Resort was everything a resort should be and more; personal, concerned with its environmental impact, had a fun communal vibe, offered plenty of activities, had a cute dog, amazing service, even more amazing food, partnered with the local villages to support the community, great prices and spectacular views.

With the exception of where we honeymooned (nothing will ever top a beachfront villa in Koh Samui with our own pool) it’s the best resort/hotel/guesthouse I’ve ever stayed in.

It’s a smaller resort so you never feel like you are one out of hundreds of visitors, you actually feel like a guest.

All the meals are eaten at communal tables so we got the chance to chat to interesting people, as well as have random late night swims with them but we had plenty of romantic, alone time for ourselves. It was the perfect balance.

If you are thinking of going to Fiji, skip the larger, impersonal resorts and head straight to Blue Lagoon on Nacula island.
